... Damn, now I want to go back and rewatch season 1. If only for the research into the initial lore into the monsters and seeing how that diverges, if it does, from how they portray and describe them in season 6.
It isn't. And it seems to be a lot of what they're doing in the 6th season, or at least, it felt like they took a bunch of fanfic, looked at the common elements, and did that. All the alternate world type things, Western world and swapping into the actors world. They already did the meta commentary with Chuck and the books, and that was actually pretty well done, I thought. That worked, especially in the context of him being a prophet or possibly actually God. Adding on more was heavy handed.
If they'd laid more of a groundwork for him having more connection with her other than "she's bendy" I could have bought it. But when he went back, there was no sense that he had any connection to her or wanted one, and when she told him the kid wasn't his, that neatly tied that off. And then they brought it back. While they left behind the one girl he was established to have a connection with. Which might have been for actress reasons, I think it was, but they still could have mentioned.
Pretty much. I love Mark Sheppard to bits, but I'm not touching season 6.
If nothing else, they don't get in the way of having a good time. And if they're tightly or solidly written, you can take that and extrapolate all kinds of things from it.
