Give me a fandom and I'll give you, either in the comments or in a separate post, five unpopular opinions for that particular fandom.

1. Castiel worked really well in season 4, but they never needed to make him a regular, he would have been much more powerful if his appearances had remained at reoccurring

2. I really liked Bela and wished that we got more backstory on the deal that she made, and that we saw her again after Hell. Also she and Dean would have made a super hot couple!

3. Bobby is okay, but I find him overrated. His death episode was very well done, but I never considered him to be an essential part of the shows success, and I got kind of tired of his 'balls' and 'idjits' catchphrases.

4. I was disappointed in the execution of season 5. I know they didn't have a high budget, but I was really expecting more than the poor pacing and filler episodes that we did get. It had its high points, but overall it was a disappointing follow-up to the season 4 cliffhanger to me. All that build-up to the breaking of the seals meaning that Lucifer would create hell on earth, and then the world was basically the same?! I never cared much for the portrayal of Lucifer either, I liked the version that Sam played in The End more

5. Season 7 flopped pretty hard by the end, but I think that the first half of that season is underrated, there were a lot of strong episodes

Yesss, I'm total agreement of point 4. (Luckily there's fic...) Point 1 too, but then again I think all things kind of went off the rails after season 5...

It seems like season 5 is mostly a pretty popular season, but yeah I was disappointed in the number of comedy filler episodes in the first half of that season. I guess that they never had the budget for it but, after all the build-up in season 4, I was anticipating an actual post-apocalyptic season along the lines of The End episode. I was a bit bemused when the world basically remained the same, and they were going to hotels for a SPN convention...
