I agree with about 80 percent of this. My squee broke (yes, 509 and 510, I'm looking at you) and this new one wasn't strong enough to restore it. There were things I liked, Sam and Dean connecting, sort of, but then also it felt repetetive and the partnership is backsliding, not growing. It's not hitting my relationship buttons in the good ways. It's making me sad.
Probably without the gender issues, I'd be more okay and might be at squee.
I don't feel like the show ever stopped its focus on SamnDean. The apocalypse is too unwieldly and I'd like it to be over, but I like the way the god-family's been used as a distorted echo of the Winchesters. Sam and Dean are not intended to be a one to one correlation to Lucifer and Michael, but there are echoes and heaven is trying to shove them into those slots while Sam and Dean refuse. I like that.
But overall, I'm at yeah, sigh, whatever. (And this is me, here. When have I ever been nonflaily over spn? It's disconcerting).
I'm going to keep watching and stick with the fanfic but not giving it much energy otherwise.
