Haven't the torture scenes been with Holy Water, or is that just a more recent retcon? There definitely was that early episode where the guy explained that voodoo black powder substance (goofer dust or something that sounds like that) to ward off Hellhounds. I assumed that was what warded demons.

Dean forced a lot of salt into Alistair, and when everyone thought Sam was possessed in the season opener of 4 (with War) they dumped a lot of sand in his mouth. That's the only times I can really remember it being used in abundance. Other than just salt shells which are gonna hurt like a bitch but not be fatal.

So, and I'm not going to go into too many details, but I'm so happy to see that they are going to have both Deputy Andys on the same episode in the future. That might be fun!

Why don't they just hand off the mark to each other every now and then when they need a break? It didn't look like the process of transferring it was too complex.

Because it's not something that's passed on from person to person like that. Cain was still rocking the mark after he gave it to Dean.

Voted Worst Mom posted:Hmm, it's no more stupid than drinking demon's blood to combat Lucifer, summoning the king of hell or death or a random crossroads demon, willingly going into purgatory, or hell, or heaven to gently caress over its residents, casting angels from heaven, randomly killing some monster kids non-violent mother, etc. I actually feel all of the things they've done are equally stupid which is why this is kind of old at this point. Yeah, it's the same kind of stupid we've seen a dozen times by now, just with a different stupid frame. Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:I think there's a rule of sorts for symbolism. In the episode with the lady that got impregnated by a demon with psychic Antichrist kid (who, of course, has never been seen again since that episode), the lady said she got the demon out by cramming her mouth full of rock salt. raditts fucked around with this message at 15:16 on Apr 21, 2015 |

The only way this is going to end amusingly is if after she explains everything he totally calls Crowley up and hands her over with a "You know, she totally hired me to kill you."

I'm gonna miss the box. It was a pretty neat and intricate piece. I dug the clockwork. Gonna miss it like the lock to the devil's gate from Season 2. That was a pretty awesome piece that never got used again

I get the feeling that whatshername was affected by it too, but was able to just hold off (long enough for the spell to wear off/in perpetuity) and that Sam re-releasing the spell made it affect her all the more. Sam was down in the basement and was affected and saw Rowena as his illusion, so it clearly affected him despite being in the basement/messing with the box. That's how I took it at least.

Was there some reason they offed Bobby and Rufus, by the way, or was just that just the worst decision ever on behalf of a TV show? We just ended up watching through on Netflix recently before hitting this season so know nothing of that. Spuzzz posted:I like how the box killed everyone except for the person actually trying to open it. I loved how bad they hosed everything up. It was kind of hilarious and reminded me a little of how a typical job on GvsE would go, back when it was good (and not on Syfy), except they didn't play it as much for intentional laughs.

raditts posted:The box boomed on him off-screen. The only thing I can think of is that it wasn't an illusion by the box, but from Rowena herself (but an illusion nonetheless, since Dean didn't see her) trying to get Sam to open the Codex so she would have it for herself...just basically using the basics from the boxes curse to get Sam to do what she wanted.

I love how Cas's rescue plan was to apparently have a multi-hour talk in a barn without hearing from the guy he went in with. Also how he was being held hostage in what was clearly Bobby's house set that wasn't even really redressed was kind of amusing. Seriously if anyone on this show decided to opt for "kill" instead of "tie up" they'd be so boned.

I'm gonna be real mad if this season doesn't end with Rowena dead. She has got to be the most irritating person they've ever had on this show. She looks like a low-rent Madeline Kahn with none of the talent and only one, smug expression. Not to mention basically every scene she had with Crowley made him look like the biggest pansy in history. She sucks more than Adelind on Grimm.

Yeah, that sounds like the best possible strategy for the CW to take. "It's Supernatural, but with teenage girl leads." It'd be a million times better than Bloodlines. I guess they'd still want some hot dudes with abs, though. Maybe they'll gender-inverse it and give the girls poison vaginas; every couple episodes, there's a new dead Amell. Kruller posted:[Rowena] sucks more than Adelind on Grimm. Hey, now, don't say things you can't take back. Rowena isn't necessarily great, but she's competent at some stuff and has relatively consistent motivations. Adalind could only dream of such a thing.

Welp, everyone who ever wanted Charlie dead, congratulations! The show just got infinitely more bearable for you! Me? Never had a problem with the character, or actress, but I don't feel anything will be lacking with her gone. Her logical bye bye point was Oz, but she didn't even last a season over that rainbow. I'm digging the Frankensteins. Nice twist on an old yarn, it's about time they plucked from the Classics barrel again. Last time they did that we got Monster Movie, which was one of the best episodes of the series on my list. I like the legion of Stynes that Dean is gonna have to chew his way through, setting up for Mark of Cain overdrive. The only frustrating thing is there's no clarity to the danger here. They go on and on about how he's getting worse and the Marks gonna gently caress him up, but what exactly is gonna happen? He goes demon-ish again? (I'm not calling that full on demon because he was basically just midlife crisis Dean. loving and fighting for no real reason, maybe a little more murder than your standard upper middle class business exec, but the signs are all there) Pump him full of cure juice and buy yourselves another handful of months to figure our the codex. I mean is he gonna die? I don't think the Mark allows that anyway, so really, work with what you've got.

Well, that's what you get for calling two doofuses that have to drive in by car instead of a motherfucking guy who can teleport and is several times as strong as the guys after you, Charlie. Seriously if she called Castiel that whole scene would have been more like "Give me what's my--- my eyes!" and then he'd hit the ground a smoking husk. Everyone's just so dumb now, it's kind of hilarious. I mean we have the king of hell talking to a hamster with sinister music. As someone who started watching on Netflix and saw this all compressed into a few month time period, it's kind of surreal. Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 07:59 on May 7, 2015 |
