Crowley in Dean's trunk makes me smile. Could't have happened to a nicer guy, plus I can't wait for him to complain about it.

And for him to ask if he missed the newest episode of Girls.

It would seem Sam agrees with that.


But anyway, aside from the "I have to keep this a secret from my brother" thing getting a bit tiresome, I don't really have any complaints. Pretty solid so far, but would have liked to see creepy stalker Hael stick around a bit longer...

I guess so? I think it's actually the fault of the show for not having any solid female leads from the start. Fangirls gotta ship, and slash is popular, but usually there's a popular het ship too. I've never seen a fandom so hell bent as this one on keeping women out. It's insane.


Edit: Also, Death is so going to turn out to also be God. Calling it.

Also, when Dean said 'I have the king of Hell in my trunk.' I started saying 'OMG PLEASE BE LITERAL.' Hilarious.

He seems to be one of the only legitimately neutral characters in the show. Like he said, it was up to Sam. If he wanted him, he'd have taken him, we haven't met a creature more powerful yet.

Fuck fangirls. Seriously. They can ship everyone up the wazoo, hell, I find some of the flirtation between male characters amusing!

But come on, why does every woman in their lives have to end up horribly murdered? Meg and Castiel was great! Jo was great! Ellen was great! Bella was... Bella.

Look, I'm just saying, it's reached the point where it's redonkulous. Like... I literally cannot stand it.

Also, Jensen Ackles could have mad chemistry with a chair. I could believe it.

I have always been upset at the fact that women can't stay on this show without being horribly murdered in some way. I don't really think that's on the fangirls, either, but how they write it. It's played off almost as a joke at this point. I expect Charley to bite it any day now.

Which would please all you :( Damn it.

Edit: Your quote about Dean and chemistry made me think of a famous fangirl quote from back in the day with BtVS: "Spike could have chemistry with door." It's hilarious because it was said before he actually had chemistry with a freaking door.

They did a decent job humanizing her in the last episode with her, so if she lived, I'd be okay with that as long as she isn't back to being terrible. But the bizarre thing is... women can live if they are lesbians? Like Charley?

But yeah, the writers' attitude with women is... bizarre.

Jody Mills isn't dead yet. She needs to come back and kick ass. And then Bobby needs to return and he and Mills can hook up. That is actually a ship I can get behind.

Oh shit, yeah.

Time to start up the dead pool again. Mills bites it by episode 13. But seriously, I'd be down with Bobby and Sheriff Mills.

But I wouldn't be surprised when she bites it. You know what I'd like? Sam's monster girlfriend coming back from purgatory and kicking Dean's nads in.

Edit: Dean/Benny. Yeah, Christ, that is like, a legitimate romantic relationship. I mean, Cas and Sam and Dean, they're like brothers, even though everyone makes the ship jokes.

But Dean and Benny... that was full on love. Like... yeah. I saw longing in their eyes. Legit longing.

The Benny/Dead bromance was the most genuine and heartfelt relationship the show has had in years. That goodbye scene was rough.

It's a hard road out there for the Winchesters. If they don't end the series with the brother's choosing to die together I do not know how I will feel.

There is no way it will ever end good for them.

For one, they're absolutely unable to give it up, they always get dragged back into it, they always will as long as one is alive and as long as one is alive they will find a way to bring the other back.

Sam is tired of it, that's been easy to see for a long time now. He only keeps doing it for Dean and Dean keeps doing it because if his brother is there he can't really do anything but hunt. He feels compelled. The only time he settled down was when Sam wasn't in the picture.

Eventually they are going to die because Dean thinks it's his fate and he'll drag his brother along for the ride due to his co dependency on him and Sam will go with it because he can't refuse his brother.

But where do they go? Heaven isn't exactly fans of them. You know what would happen in Hell. Limbo? Dean might be a fan of that option but it isn't Sam unless he goes there just to make Dean happy and I can almost see him doing that. Even if it's for eternity.

Be kind of nice if God came and took them to ensured they rest having done whatever they were suppose to do. If not make sure they finally get their deserved rest.


Also the fangirls don't hate any females on the show only because of their ships but because they think the guys actually belong together. They actually believe that, some of them do. Others hate another female all over them because they are either a Dean girl or a Sam girl and if it's one thing I discovered they tend to not get along very well. If they watch an episode one will say Dean got the short end of the stick and it's always Sam centric. The other will say Sam is getting the short end of the stick and he's always bumbling things up.

It goes on and on and on and on.

I'm not sure how the show will end, but I think I know where it's going. We are cruising towards another version of the last half of Season 5 IMHO. Think about it, we have Cas human, the angels have fallen so they will soon be out of power and out of the picture. We have an angel inside Sam again, what if he has ulterior motives? What if he was friends with Lucifer before he fell and is loyal to him? What if Ezekiel breaks Lucifer out of his cage and gives up Sam as host, then whalla we are basically at the bleak future that Dean saw in his trip to The End.

Maybe fate and destiny are inevitable?


All IMHO of course, I honestly have no factual idea where this is all going.

They have shown, that Dean doesn't have to be dependent on Sam. He was at his best in Purgatory, i didn't feel like he needed Sam there. I don't know why they insist on dragging him down the same road, i'd love to see even half a season, where they were separated. Especially Sam, because i have no idea who that man is anymore. It would build both their characters and it would actually mean more when they got together again.

I'm dreading Charile's end. I think it's going to happen, she's getting to close to the point she's treated as a little sister it seems, but I really don't want it to. I've never wanted any of the female characters (good or bad) to die save Bella. Did not like her at all. I only felt a slight be sadness for her at the very end but it quickly left. If the goal was to make her unlikeable then great job. Having Jo and Ellen go hurt. I really loved the group dynamic with them. Especially the mother/sons relationship she had with the Dean and Sam. That made the what-if episode that much better. I'm actually glad Jody hasn't shown up to much. I was really concern for a while there last season.

The question is how long is Abaddon going to last. I don't think she's the big bad so that could paint a target on her back.

Was actually hoping we'd see more of Tahmoh Penikett this season.

I never got the idea that if a male has love/hate relationship with a another male, they must want to secretly fuck. Or if a male has a good relationship with another male, they much want to secretly fuck.

Maybe I put too much into chemistry.

Ratings are up:

Can someone blame the CW for moving away from female dramas to boy/genre shows? After those underwhelming 0.4 in 18-49, 1 million viewers and 0.3; 860,000 viewers for Hart Of Dixie and Beauty And The Beast on Monday, the network got cooking with veteran Supernatural last night. In its ninth (!) season premiere, the sci-fi drama logged 2.53 million viewers and a 1.2 in 18-49 for the series’ highest-rated and most watched premiere since 2010. Versus last season’s opener, Supernatural was up 37% in total viewers, up 25% in A18-34 (1.0/3) and up 50% in A18-49.

I thought the reason for Dean keeping a secret was actually pretty good. Much better than reasons they've kept them in the past and at least we're also in on the secret at the ground floor as opposed to learning what it is at the midway point of the season...
