The characterization of Sam and Dean as individuals, and the handling of their relationship is key to Wincest, no? If any of that suffers, Wincest suffers.

Except that Wincest is not itself the definition of good characterization. I'd love more development for Sam and Dean as individuals and a better read into their relationship because I'm frankly disappointed with S5 in that regard, but I thought S4 was actually rather good. Not perfect, but we got a lot of significant development for Sam and Dean both.

(Anonymous) 2009-12-08 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Never said it was. Only that a general lack of good and consistent characterization, imo, hurt both the show and Wincest as a pairing in S4. And S5 for that matter.

I think Sam was OOC for much of S4. OOC and erratically characterized. And Dean took up that mantle in early S5. I use a comparison between gradual evolution and the rapid-fire kind that happens in comic books from radiation spills (lol, I know).

One involves a lot of groundwork being layed to show you how something goes from point A to point B. If that had happened, I could've found S4 better, but as it was, it was like S3 ended and all of a sudden people were getting unrecognizable. Not developed, just largely and randomly different than they had been for three years.

Um, there were characterization issues in season 3 as well, especially with Dean in the beginning, and for instance the way they became OOC-ly stupid around Bela...

Just saying, season 4 is not where issues began...

(Anonymous) 2009-12-08 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
I certainly don't think characterization issues are limited to seasons four and five, and I definitely agree about things like Bela, Dean being a comic-relief side-kick at first, etc.

However, even in S3, which did have its share of issues, my thing is that it still felt like the same show, and that I was watching the same characters. I often can't say that of everything after that year.
