It's losing me, too. I haven't really forgiven the show for vanishing Ellen, but what's really irritating me this season is how bloody irrational it all is. I'm totally on Sam's side, man: the angels are evil, Dean's wrong and I want Sam to kill Lilith and become king of Hell :-)
The only ep I've really enjoyed this season was the magic murders one, which I thought was very well done, and very creepy.
It wasn't bad. I loved seeing Meg again. In fact, I want to write the AU in which this season's Ruby is really Meg and she's got Sam totally fooled, which is of course why ghost!Meg was so pissed...
But the mythology, it's just a bit too much with the whole,
I don't mind the mythology thing so much as I mind angels, just on principle. The show was always heading for Apocalypse territory; I'm okay with that. But I can't do Angels.
Demons exist in almost every mythological canon, not always under that name and not always associated with an equivalent of Hell, but evil entities that possess human bodies - they're everywhere. If you look for Angels, though, you're into a specific mythology. Kripke may not intend it, but he's sending a message with that choice, about the way his fictional 'verse works, and it's broken my ability to suspend disbelief. It's redeemable, if the story goes the right way, but I don't believe Krip has that kind of skill as a storyteller.
