We saw Gabriel's body back in season 5 and he still came back last year.

It was an illusion from Metatron.

It's not explained why anybody but Dean and Cain wants the First Blade since it's useless without the Mark of Cain. I thought it would work like the One Ring in LOTOR, where it calls to it's master, but it doesn't, which is bullshit.

What was with Cain very slowly killing his descendants? He claimed he wanted to kill them all, which he thought was 10% of the population, but he was going at a rate of less than one a day, so he would probably kill less of them in a year than any non-supernatural cause of death. He was killing people directly related to each other, so I guess he had to go through birth records to find them. What a chore.

He wasn't in a hurry at all, he had all the time in the world. Even with diminishing returns it would guarantee he'd have bodies to drop for centuries or more to feed the mark. Even if he got bored and just teleported around killing a person every few minutes (causing mass chaos and panic) it would still take a ton of time.

Gabriel is probably one of the few "dead" characters that if they brought back via a convoluted reason no one would care because he's so much fun to watch.

Was Meg ever definitively killed? I want to say she was but the scene was so uneventful and shown from so far away that it felt like they wanted to make it ambiguous, even though she's never shown up again.

If painting could kill, you would have committed suicide.
Meg was killed. We saw it through the back window of the Impala. Crowley gutted her after Cas took off with the angel tablet during the crypt scene.

Her actress has MS and had been struggling with the shooting schedule. Rather than bounce her into a new vessel, they killed her.

Why throw it away? Rowena still seems 100% aware of everything Crowley is doing; she's probably still using it which is why she's so immediately disappointed that Crowley once again allows himself to be tricked by the not-so-clever Winchesters.
He wasn't really tricked though. Cain might not have been coming for him now, but he was definitely a potential threat, and it's not like the blade is actually particularly valuable on its own. Sure, he wanted it, but losing it to Castiel really doesn't change anything.


raditts posted:

Rowena's whole plan was to frame Crowley's butler so Crowley would think everyone was plotting against him and would give her more trust and freedom. She didn't actually want the blade, because, again, the blade doesn't actually do anything unless you have the mark, so it's not really valuable on its own.

Surprised there hasn't been any action on the thread tonight.

Tonight's episode was pretty good. Not terrific and a bit heavy handed, but still, nice to see the show sliding back into the "monster of the week" type plots instead of OMG APOCALYPSE AGAIN.

For a while the motw dragged the show down during the peak of the Lucifer arc, but since they're been trying to avoid multi-season serialization since they haven't been guarenteed more then a season at a time some of the motw episodes from season 7 onward have been really good. The golem episode was amazing and I'm still mad they haven't brought that character back.

Cole is turning out to be a pretty cool dude, and it would not shock me if he "got the bug" (so to speak) and shows up next season a full blown novice Hunter and recurring character.

Also it was so gratifying when the slug jumped out of that guy's mouth and into the other and I thought "man, that looks like a Khan Worm" and Dean says 5 minutes later "hey, is that a Khan Worm?" :D

The episode was okay but they just aren't even trying to be subtle about the "current case is a metaphor for the brothers' current problems" story frame anymore, are they? It's nearly reached parody-level bluntness with the meaningful glances and dramatic pauses and impassioned speeches to the guest character that Sam/Dean are really saying to themselves.

It was good to see them at least think about the idea of trying to save people possessed, infested, occupied, or controlled by monsters again though. During the apocalypse-prevention plots they didn't have time to mess around so anyone possessed by a monster was treated as a monster out of expediency. Killing monsters as fast as possible was the only consideration. Now they have time to reconsider that.


They did seem a bit dumb with this parasite though. It looks like an unknown parasite, there is nothing obviously magical or unbelievable about it. (The only potentially supernatural effect was possibly causing people to drink more water than a human body can hold, if that one guy really spent an afternoon drinking out of a hose.) Couldn't they just put the host to sleep and have the parasite surgically extracted? There are some supernatural things I definitely wouldn't want the US military getting their hands on, but "huge parasite that makes you thirsty and drives you crazy" seems like a perfect sort of monster to hand over to the CDC.

That was one thing that struck me as a little odd, like when Sam was explaining to the guy's wife he was all "YOU SAW A MONSTER, RIGHT?" When he could have just said "your husband got a parasite in him. I'm from the CDC."

I hope they later come across a CDC report of a newly discovered middle eastern parasite exactly like the "monster" they just fought. The one that they didn't bother to spend 5 minutes googling before choosing electrocution as their first line of attack. Turns out it can be cured with de-worming pills.

This "monster" is actually a parasitic worm. We shouldn't let anybody know to ensure more people get infected and die.
