With me it's the other way around: When I'm passionate about a show, I start to see its flaws. Because then my brain and my heart is into it and I can't ignore it. I mean, I used to love SPN, that's why I saw its flaws.
Hmmm, not every show is about "good vs. bad", there are some who make the effort to blur the lines. LOST does, although sometimes the divisions they create are a bit forced. BtVs did at times, too, but they failed with what they tried to do as well (or maybe they didn't fail but only tried to show that their characters were wrong about "good vs. bad", I'm not sure about that). Torchwood fails at "good vs. bad" but that's mainly because of the bad writing regarding Jack's judgement on what kind of alien is bad and what kind of alien is good. And when you start to interpret aliens as "the other" you just end up with very interesting problems regarding TW...
I'm really curious if SPN will improve again. Because the universe Kripke has created is simply awesome. Also, it's made for spin offs. Jo, as a hunter. Bela, as a thief (I'd kill to watch that). A show about the roadhouse before it burned down, with all the hunters, their issues, their battles. All the people who found out about the supernatural and how they deal with that. There's so much potential there...
Argh, if I keep on thinking of potential I'Ll just remember Hendrickson and get pissed off again. Dean and him had such great chemistry and it would have been so cool to see the FBI help out the boys sometimes. *flails* The lost awesomeness!

And RPS saves the day. As usual. :D
