W/rt to the misogyny issue, I have mostly been able to divorce my distaste for the writing from my fondness for Dean, but I am definitely finding myself growing away from the characters.

I had no idea that it had impacted my opinion of the characters as opposed to my opinion of the show. Maybe that just means I'm kind of dense, I'm not sure. And I can completely enjoy a show for the story while loathing some of the characters, so I don't know that I'm giving up or anything, but I do find that I'm not engaging emotionally. Which is sad.

But then, it's probably a miracle that I'm still here two years after John died.
