#and all of the dean and jacks storylines were copies of sams why would they have him do that twice?

[trials-era-sam]

Would you talk about what you like about Dabb era to spread some positivity?

Sure!! Always down to spread positivity :)

First thing that comes to mind is s13. Honestly, it's one of my favorite post-Kripke seasons (my top three for these is 7, 11, 13 which I know is a wildly unpopular opinion lol). I loved Jack so much he became my favorite character after Sam and Dean, and given the fact that I'm a Sam girl, it's not very surprising imo. So many parallels!!! I'm not gonna elaborate too much on them because the show's already done that (and also I'm bad at meta), but in s13 they managed to have him parallel Sam without having direct copies of his storylines (yes s14 I'm looking at you), and that was really nice. Also, his relationship with Sam was absolutely precious. I started cheering for scenes with the two of them together probably as early as 13x03 and I miss seeing them interact so much. Finally a character who had a more meaningful relationship with Sam than with Dean!!! What a nice change 13 seasons in ;)

Speaking of, and still in s13 although I was glad to see it continue until the last season, Rowena!!! Her character development made me go from "She's back from the dead again?!?!?" to "Oh yay Rowena's here!! :D" And I know it started when she and Sam bonded over their Hell trauma. It's nice that they gave Sam someone who could relate. <3

Also, while bringing Lucifer back was dumb (although that was Carver), it did give us that cave scene in 13x21 which is probably my favorite non-brother scene - brilliant acting and brilliant writing (yes I know I'm praising Berens shhh). As deliciously terrifying as it needed to be.

Not as much of a fan of s14 but Lebanon was beautiful and the short-lived Michael-in-Dean's-head arc gave us so many lovely brother moments <3 Plus, Game Night. Need I say more? ;)

I loved all of the callbacks to early seasons in s15, I liked the intent to explore Sam and Dean as children in s12 and then as "parents" in s13, I thought bringing back the s5 concept of Dean being Michael's vessel was a great idea, Magda was amazing, ScoobyNatural was super fun, our boys looked gorgeous in black leather jackets, Breakdown was a great horror episode that brought me back, Sam shot God, Atomic Monsters broke me in a very good way, *punch* *hug* "why don't you believe in us too?" <3, Sam's God visions were what I lived for, 15x19 ended with the ending I wanted for the show and then the finale was perfect... I could go on, but this has probably been long enough. ;p
