Oh, I didn't know Kripke was planning a new series. I'm sure it will be a real winner. He caught some lighting in a bottle with Supernatural -- a lucky combination of talented and experienced people helped launch that show, people like Raelle Tucker and John Shiban and Kim Manners. And of course a charismatic and highly appealing cast, especially Jensen.
Unless he can get lightning to strike again, I don't think I'll be watching any new Eric Kripke creations. At this point I'm primarily sticking with SPN for Jensen's beautiful face.
(CORRECTION: I am ONLY sticking with SPN for Jensen's beautiful face. I can honestly say that if he left the show I'd have little to no reason to watch another episode. The CW had better be giving that guy whatever the hell he wants from them, because I doubt I'm the only viewer who feels this way.)
I just mentioned the whole "trust" issue in my 5:14 review and Gamble is pretty much at the top of the list of people I don't trust on that creative team. I agree with you about Tucker's "sense of compassion" and "wider, deeper vision" and I've seen nothing comparable from Gamble. Personally I'd rather have seen Jeremy Carver get the job -- he at least has written some of my favorite episodes.
What also concerns me is that I think Kripke has been kind of hands-off as showrunner, whereas I expect Gamble won't be. And that does not bode well.
