Finally reached season 6 of Supernatural (spoilers)

And from the get go, I'm already troubled. I get there would have to be a change in dynamics with Dean becoming a family man and Sam going to hell and returning, and I'm not one of those people who will insist that everything needs to stay the way it is. I can welcome change if it's done right. But something is just off and I can't place my finger on it. I know the creator of the show stepped down to a lesser role after season 5, so maybe that's it Writing doesn't seem as good so far, and I just don't like Sam. I did read that there is question about what all came back when Sam returned from hell.


Castiel, my favorite character, showed up in the episode I started last night, and he annoyed me as well. I know a lot of you said that it lost it's steam after the 5th season, but I held out hope that it wouldn't be as bad as everyone made it. I'm not optimistic now.

Please tell me they find their way eventually.
