Just my thoughts.

So, it's been confirmed. Supernatural will be getting a sixth season. I've kinda already stated my opinions before about my feelings about having another season added to the five year plan and such. Again, I know nothing about what's going to be planned here on out, so here's what I'm wishing and praying for:

01. Continue with the Apocalypse mytharc from this season, extending it into the sixth season, since honestly I can't see anything topping the Apocalypse which is a huge factor into what has been built on the entire show, and it's pretty much the Big Bang that Kripke has talked about numerous of times. So more with the mythology, less with the monster of the weeks.

02. Keep Misha Collins as a regular. with plenty more Dean/Castiel sexytiems

That's pretty much it. I'm not entirely picky, but I have to say my interest with Supernatural perked up more once the introduction with the angel mythology and tying everything together with the Apocalypse and the like, the fact they amped it up with the mythology is much more fascinating than normal monster hunting cases. I mean gotta love our boys, but Supernatural is not a procedural kind of show; it's driven by heavy-arc storylines which have been woven throughout the seasons. I would much rather have the show go out with a huge big bang like ending the Apocalypse then going downhill like some shows have done in the past by adding another season just to add another season, you know?

And that's that. I worry because I care, okay people? Supernatural is pretty much my main fandom at the moment and I don't want the story to lose its finesse towards the end simply because they added another season.

So much word to this post. I am also incredibly wary -- I think alexwhitman25 above pretty much summed up my concerns with regard to S6 messing up the narrative structure of the show.

I'm hoping Kripke can pull something genius out of his bag of tricks, otherwise I fear a let down with a S6.

Yeah. I kinda wanna have faith that Kripke, even though he had a five year plan, is going to expand his plans just a little bit further into this supposed sixth season. However I can't shake the feeling that this is one of those "trial by error" decisions that five seasons is going to rock, and the sixth is going to be experimental in that "well, it was good in theory" kinda way. IDK, I've seen plenty of shows go this route and I had hoped that Kripke would have stuck to his original devices and kept it five seasons and no more.

The narrative of the show is something I am gravely worried about because of this. Let's just cross our fingers and continue to pray it'll work out okay.
