Supernatural (Warning: Spoilers)

Re: Rowena: pretty much.

I was about five minutes ahead of the show on most of the reveals and some of the dialogue. This is not a good thing. If only Ben Edlund were running the show ...

As far as a series ender ... I was raised on Marvel Comics, so my version includes a lot of twists and big reveals and surprise guest stars and cosmic stuff. Yours is simpler and just as satisfying. I vote we go with yours.

I'm so on board!

While it was better than sucker-worm that makes you insane, it's just falling flat. Maybe they felt like we needed a reminder about Dean's struggle, or his God/Daddy issues.

I don't understand why they're giving all this screen time to Rowena and not Crowley. I actually think she's had more on-air time than he has and it's annoying as f***.

And Cas? I don't even think he's been in half of the episodes.

It's like season 1 again with "finding Dad with his journal," sprinkled into 3/4 of the season, then, a few episodes of interesting stuff that directly address it.

I do look forward to seeing Bobby next week.

The Men of Letters thing. I just don't know. It's fascinating to me. I really liked that element last season, but they seemed to have forgotten the potential there and dropped the ball.

I did kind of like the one-shot ghost story with the women, but it felt disjointed at times.

And something bitter and sweet...

I'm sick of Sam's hair. Can the stylists PLEASE stop giving him a bob? Like a silky, perfectly-coiffed bob that looks like something from an LA salon? Put his hair behind his ears, FFS. It's the "Rachel" from friends...



And the sweet...... (REALLY SWEET!) My bestie was at the Austin airport and she saw Jared P. She said hi to him and told him she loved his show. She asked politely for a picture and he said yes. Her words: "He was so tall and sweet and cuddly. He leaned in for the pic and told me 'thank you' for watching the show."

(swoon)

What a boring episode. Flat, recycled, pointless. The Rowena/Crowley subplot is filler, and I've lost sight of the Cas subplot, and the boys are just saying their lines.

Coworker and I have the season-ending ep all worked out: Dean kills Sam because of the Cain and Abel curse. Dean kills himself out of remorse. Cas heads to Hell to save them but finally gets fed up with their codependent angst. Instead, Cas finds Meg, rescues her from Hell, and they finally have that pizza.

For the last 2 mins before the credits, Lucifer returns, ganks Crowley and Rowena. Chuck casts Metatron into Hell and sits back with a glass of single malt, feet on desk, watching a rerun of season 1, episode 1.

Love. This. Love, love, love.

Feeling sad and mad over the lackluster direction of the season. Bringing Bobby back for an ep won't cut it. We need the big guns. We need Poppa Winchester the First. We need Death. We need Lucifer.

I'll put it out there right now: If this season ends with a walk-on by any of those three, a la Chuck at the end of the musical ep, I will say the season was worth it. Go on, showrunners. I dare you. I hell-hound dare you.

That is SO awesome. So nice to hear that he's a nice guy. (My God, I think I'd come up to Jared's navel. Seriously. He wouldn't have to lean in, I'd have to stand on a chair!)

I say the final shot in this season's ender will be a close-up of Sam (and his hair) as he says "Yes" to Lucifer. Bring on the End!verse!

And as for the "Friends" thing ...

Well, of course. How else are we going to get Lucifer in the last scene of the last ep this season?

AAAAAAAAAAAAH. Love!!!

Sam was driving. Sam only drives when something is wrong with Dean.

YES on the FRIENDS video! (Where was Bobby, though???)

It felt weird, with no explanation. It must have been done purposely; I wonder if we'll continue to see smaller shifts like these in the last episodes.

Final scene, as they had their obligatory bro moment. Sam was in the driver's seat.

Thanks.

Huh. Completely missed that. Maybe because I was in a coma from boredom...

I haven't been keeping up with this thread, but I am SO VERY GLAD I'm not the only one who freaking hates the Rowena/Crowley storyline. Reducing the King of Hell (who used to be a fun, interesting character) to a whipped, easily manipulated idiot is a crime. And Rowena needs to die. Like, yesterday.

I've got all my fingers and toes crossed for a Lucifer comeback. At this point, I think it's the only thing that *might* salvage this season. And please, please, please, make Season 11 the final season, tell the writers so, and make them write a coherent ending arc to the show.

*sigh*

Building that set piece of Hell was just a terrible idea. So run of the mill and now Crowley is stuck there every episode.

I like these!

Question, if anyone caught this: I looked up the ep on IMDB because the psychic looked familiar. The guy who voices Big Bird was listed way high. Was he the psychic? Because in the cast list, his character name was "Big Bird."

That's AWESOME. Really, truly awesome.

The episode wasn't terrible. And there were some great moments/lines:

• Dean hustling pool. Yes, please!
• "Squirrel." "Boris. Where's Natasha?"
• The psychic calling Sam a hippie.
• "The Bobbies" - heh heh heh
• The Lucifer mention.

That last item in particular gives me hope that Mark Pellegrino will reappear before season 10 closes. Fingers crossed...

It's like I said: weeks of filler, then they start to cram in plot the closer they get to the end. Like name-dropping Lucifer. Heh heh.

Y'know, if they need a witch's blood to open the cage, that would solve two problems.

And Cas won't let Sam drive either.
