TheCyborgNinja 12/19/17 6:01:20 PM #3:	Yeah, S1-5 of Supernatural were amazing. After that, it went from being one of my favourites to just a show I liked enough to continue watching. Season 9 did start getting better, and I thought it found its stride again during season 10 and continues to be pretty good. I think dragging out all the angel garbage (either as direct or indirect foes) across as many seasons as they did hurt it. --- "message parlor" ? do you mean the post office ? - SlayerX888 <cite>TheCyborgNinja posted [p:892523684] in DBZ and Su...

Large parts of the Supernatural series were very focused on the major story arc and creature features largely fell by the wayside. That was part of why it got crappy after season 5. Focusing on the story arc isn't the same thing as watching a fight. And if "it has continuity" is your argument, that includes countless tv shows. Frankly, DBZ has more in common with most soap operas than it does with Supernatural -- given that soap operas also have multiple things happening at once broken across episodes for no good reason except to drag on time.
