Heading out to case the promise land

I believe my love of this show is perhaps not the best kept secret. There are many other shows I love, but not fannishly the way I do SPN. But if the rumours about S8 are true--the PTB mandated reduction of the bromance, a long separation, and lots of Dean and Cas (that last one is my fevered imagination, as much as anything), I'm really not sure I can watch.

I do say this a lot, and it's never as bad as it sounds, but right now, this does sound pretty bad. Please for it not to be so. Carver was always my favourite writer! Surely he gets the Sam and Dean, right? ...Right?
