Gamble's gushing about Butch Cassidy stuff, combined with her downgrading of Castiel and obvious disdain for audience opinion about that, have more or less destroyed whatever minimal hopes I had for Season 7. I have no idea how much Kripke or Edlund will even be involved -- their titles have supposedly changed, which Gamble says is just a contractual thing, but I don't know what that means. Will Gamble be more in charge, or less?
The intensity of Dean and Cas v the one sided bored relationship of Sam and Dean - I don't care about actor status, creatively the first one would have been gold, and even JP would have been happy.
A story where Sam is really the antagonist vs. Dean and Castiel has a lot of dynamic potential but they're never, ever going to go there. I do think it would have alienated the part of the audience that still wants to see Dean and Sam as equal partners again but I just feel like that ship sailed so long ago that there's no reclaiming it, and they really need to seek out new waters. I just don't see this "outlaw" story having any promise whatsoever, especially if they approach it as haphazardly as they did the "noir" theme this year.
