I don't have a high opinion of many of Sera's eps...but I do hope Kripke will take with him the worst of the last two seasons. But the others are staying, aren't they?

For me, the show is too deeply locked into its mythology now. The season ender does give them an opportunity to sweep away the Angels and Lucifer and "destiny" crap...but I doubt they'll have the courage to do it because that would mean no more Castiel. Much as I like Misha, I'd be thrilled if he never again appeared on SPN.

The thing is, I don't want to be hopeful. Not now. I don't want to get re-invested and have my hopes stomped on again.
