Okay I'm not trying to stir things up, but I have to ask a question. And please don't chase me out of here with flaming torchs and pitchforks
Why is everyone soo upset about these characters? People are reacting like this is the worst news in TV history and I just don't get it. Especially given what little information we actually have about them. I mean what do we really know??
1. The are girls.
2. One will be a potential love interest - everyone assumes that its now going to be Supernatural: The OC Edition, but why?? Does it have to go that way?
3. They will be hunters.
4. They will be series regulars. Again, people are jumping to the conclusion that this means the Sam and Dean will be relegated to being featured players on their own show. I have read nothing, outside of fan speculation, that indicates that is the case. Series regular does not mean they are going to show up in every episode or take over the lead. JA and JP are still the 2 "stars" of the show.
5. One has a secret. No information about that secret has been released, but again everyone is jumping to the worst possible conclusions about it.
And that, to my knowledge, is all we actually know about these characters. We haven't seen any scripts, any lines, any scenes featuring these characters yet. We have no idea how Kripke will write them, how they will be integrated into the show nor how often they will actually show up.
The biggest rumor I have seen floating around is that these characters were the CW's idea and not Kripkes. But, does anyone know that for sure? Has Kripke issued any sort of statement verifying that? I haven't seen anything official that states this yet 90% of the fans out there are convinced its true. What if these characters were in Kripkes plan from the get go? He did say he had 3 season mapped out already.
Despite what it may seem, I'm not completely gung ho about the new characters, but I don't understand the rabid backlash they have created. People hate them based on what, a few small spoilers?? IMO we don't have enough information to hate them yet.
I just wish someone could explain to me why this has caused such an overreaction (again, just my opinion) among the fan community. I honestly don't understand it.
My biggest fear is that all this ranting and raving is going to hurt the show in the long run. Alot of people are turned off by all this negativity and I'm worried we may lose viewers because of it.
Anyway, I did not mean any offense to anyone so please do not take it that way. I am just so dumbfounded by this reaction that I had to get all this off my chest.
There, I fell better now. Thanks for listening.
