I am surprised that there was no mention by you guys about the "nerd" comment by Dean about Metatron.

So I got to thinking. With Bloodlines dead in the water, the plot points left unfinished by the backdoor pilot need to be handled. Now, I know that the solution for many of you would be “BANISH THE WHOLE loving THING FROM YOUR MIND GODDAMMIT". At first, I agreed. But then I thought... what about wrapping the story of monster-infested Chicago up in a video game? When you think about it, the premise of the episode is a perfect setup for an expansive open-world action game - you have a city, a collection of enemies both numerous and powerful yet hardly invincible, and frankly there idea that Sam and Dean wouldn't go back there to clean house is silly. From where I can see the basics of the story would be obvious - Sean, Dean and Cas head to Chicago during a time gap (likely between seasons), and with the help of the noob hunter and the human-friendly shapeshifter, hide out and fight the Five Families from the shadows. Violence and intrigue ensue, with a variety of enemies that the player (as Sam or Dean) would have to kill in different ways, with the families' leaders and top enforcers serving as bosses. You'd have access to all kinds of weaponry from the show, there would be easter eggs aplenty, and, of course, you could drive the Impala. Hey, I'd play it.

This would be acceptable only if it were to Supernatural as Deadly Premonition was to Twin Peaks. Alternatively, Saints Row 4, down to super powers and everything.

Which episode # was the Chicago one? I must have subconsciously avoided it because I haven't missed an episode of Supernatural yet....but somehow avoided this one.

Honestly if you just treat it like that one found footage episode with the werewolf it's not *that* bad. The worst part is the cliffhanger with the guy's long dead father calling him.

Each character has their own crazy super-move: Dean whips out the first blade, Cas torches everything on screen, and Sam drowns everything in a pool of angst. Make the health pickups pie, the weapon pickups stuff from their trunk (rock salt shotguns, 1911's with silver bullets, machetes, etc). The obligatory driving level would have the Impala with the racist truck as the boss and the funhouse level could be a mashup of the trickster stuff. Game would be rad, yo.

Make Crowley and the Gabester Hidden/DLC Characters and I'd pay TONS of money for that  The show has tons of potential for mechandise and the fact that books and random stuff (jewelry, mugs) here and there are the only thing available is kind of baffling.

Just a few old Supernatural questions: 1. What is the current status of the Colt? I think the last time I saw it was in the past? Have they said who has it now? 2. Besides the Slenderman episode, have there been other episodes where the villains weren't supernatural at all?

Crazy formerly possessed dude in season 7 did a ritual at some point in the episode, but he mostly did everything by normal means and was just a seriously deranged bloke. I think there were others, but right now it escapes me.

I kinda of hope the new series this fall "Constantine" will be the spiritual successor to Supernatural. Maybe I will just look at that as the actual spinoff so I can forget that episode.

Supernatural is the spiritual successor to Hellblazer as it is, and Constantine seems pretty much exactly like the Hellblazer books in spirit, so this may be a case of "the show that is actually based on the source of the predecessor to a popular show feels like a retread of the popular show."

Eh, he's come a long way from the thug in The Big Lebowski, or the rear end in a top hat federal guy in The Hunted. Currently losing my god damned mind though, cause my friend who does the supernatural prop stuff just popped up a surprise project that I have been bugging him about since I saw it on the show.  24k gold plated key to the batcave  He's going to have em in silver as well as steel, so I'm gonna start pinching pennies so I can have my shinies added to my ever growing supernatural dust catching collection

But yes, brilliant idea. I mean, I still want a full-blown big-budget Chicago game, but I'm sure Chicago has arcades... useable arcades. Or a game console in Sam and Dean's hideout. Just put Winchesters of Rage/Double Winchester inside the main game, Day of the Tentacle-style.

Boy, the fact that the execs watched the backdoor pilot, looked at the numbers, and said, "Yeah, I guess it was watched by a bunch of people, but uh, I think we can do better guys," is surprisingly weird but good news.
