You’re welcome :) I guess it’s safe to say I have a hard time expressing myself in short passages!
Beyond the new films I am not overly familiar with Star Trek outside of popular culture. But you’re absolutely right of course, Dean and Sam are definitely on a war mission and have been conditioned for that since very young. And this gives the show an entirely different feel than Star Trek which has a much more hopeful look on humanity and the future.
I liked Lisa and had no trouble with her and Dean, and I’m still sad she and Ben got their memories wiped. I understand why Dean wanted it, but still, heart-break! I so very much agree with you regarding the boys settling down and being free of the hunting world, and I think I want the show to end on a note that at least hints to something positive and happy for them.
I also agree season 7 was heavy because, as you say, the situation for the boys and the world were so utterly hopeless. Still for me, season 3 is the heaviest season and I almost didn’t make through because of all the angst. (I probably should do a re-watch and she if I still feel the same as I did when watching it the first time around.)
The introduction of the bunker and Men of Letters storylines has been great, and I believe the bunker will become more of a home again as the relationship between the boys solidify again as I am certain it will eventually.
