Yeah, the 'no nipple' thing seems weird. Maybe Jensen made a deal with Danneel that he wouldn't show his if she didn't show hers anymore. LOL It may just be a rumor, IDK, and I don't watch other CW shows, but don't they have show skin?
They did drop the ball on Dean's PTSD, and they could have shown a stronger parallel between Dean having survivor's guilt when Cas was left behind and Sam having it when he was the only one left in the lab after the S7 finale, but again they didn't show what happened to Sam between that and meeting Amelia. I think we can just agree that the first half of S8 was a mess.
This season ... I just wish they'd pay more attention to the minutiae as Glass put it because canon does matter. If fans can't trust them to get that stuff right, why should we trust them with the big picture? I enjoyed the old school lighting and camera work of the past couple of episodes. They were scarier and had tighter plots. I don't care for the eps that have two plots going on at once. They seem rushed and unfocused. I used to really like Cas, but I think they've just been scrambling for something to do with him for three seasons now. He's become the third wheel for me, and his war in heaven has become like Vietnam. It just drags on and on with ever changing players. Meh.
I suppose that Dean tricking Sam into letting Ezekiel in is supposed to be like Sam's "betrayal" in partnering with Ruby. I don't like the continued violation of Sam's agency as a plot device in the show, but maybe it is time that Dean be the one to screw up so royally since both Sam and Cas have gone down the path to hell with good intentions. I want to like this season, but they haven't convinced me I should yet.
