Calling it now: The Darkness is actually God's ex-wife. She can be terrible sometimes but all the stories aren't nearly as cut and dry from her perspective.

I thought the name was cool though. Amara means immortal or eternal. Also means bitter in Sanskrit but I'm hedging my bets on the immortal bit. She might be a bit bitter over the 4 billion year jail term though.

Kin posted:Seasons 1-5 were written with a complete story in mind. Then the network constantly renewed the show with no overarching plan and the original writer left (i think). This. Someone was once trying to explain to me how the show has gotten so much better because Eric Kripke was a misogynist or something? But that's absurd and dumb. The first five seasons were, even as far as campy CW shows go, incredibly well done. In the spirit of older shows like X-Files and Buffy, it maintained the monster-of-the-week format while still remaining on point and having a cohesive story overall. The questions you ask in the first few seasons are tied together in seasons 4 and 5. That's where Supernatural really ended for me. At this point I only watch because I'm marginally interested in what is going to happen and because Crowley owns.

Have they actually gotten better about misogyny? Every I've heard seems to suggest they've gotten worse. I mean, that whole demonic Amazons thing was in season 7. And then the Charlie thing.

Might as well start slaughtering children, because at least most of them presumably get to go to the 'happiest memory forever' afterlife. Letting them live just risks them messing up and going to hell. You're basically a monster for not killing them.

And then the Charlie thing. I think their approach to being less terrible is letting female characters live at the end. We've got two lady cops and like seven teenage girls now that are either monsters, ex-monsters, or have monster PTSD wandering around now. As I understand it, in earlier seasons Dean could have killed The Darkness simply by having romantic thoughts about her.

Sudden mushroom cloud; radioactive winds flip the Impala; it lands on its top, Dean and Sam crumpled and bloody inside. Carry On My Wayward Son begins to play as neither of them moves. Roll credits, series over.

I think there's a difference between ganking a zombie that has 2 hours left to live and doing the same thing to someone that could live another 70 years, and they do the latter all the loving time. My point is it's odd to start caring now, when it matters the least. The stakes have never been lower!

That's was one of the best episodes in years. Hopefully they're really trying to do something unique this season because this episode was nothing like anything they've done in the past 11 years.

I skipped most of last season and by complete chance decided to give last night's episode a chance. I guess it was a good choice. fake edit: Well, that's not entirely true. I saw the promo for the episode and was curious how last season's plot resolved, and also saw Crowley and that was good. The episode started and the "last time on Supernatural" wrap-up had a bunch of poo poo that was at least interesting enough to keep watching, so I decided to keep watching at least until the first commercial break, and it wasn't bad, so I kept watching until it turned lovely and it never did. Not happy to see that Crowley's mom is still around, though. Never quite warmed to her, at least not in that Svengali role.

Ha, they completely resolved all the SECRETS. Good stuff. I was sure that Sam's visions would push him towards Lucifer and hell in some way instead of what we got.

It was surprising to have THE LORE actually be something kinda vaguely realistic. Still, was surprised the deputy bought it that fast. I thought she'd be around for a while. Thinking the whole DARKNESS VISION thing is a great lead in to the idea of opening up the cage.

They flipped a lot of things I didn't like about the premiere. If they can keep this trend going, this could actually be a good season. Associating with the Winchesters will sucks though; get your grandma killed and soul eaten in under 24 hours.

At this point, the only proper way to end this show is to have a plot where every living character (maybe non-living too), good and bad, teams up to destroy Cass and the Winchesters for revenge / before they completely destroy the world, because boy have they done far more harm than good at this point. The Winchesters will come out on top somehow, of course, and the end result will be far worse than if they had just played ball in season 5 and let the whole apocalypse thing run its course.

holy poo poo I watched four seasons of this show ages ago but it fell off the rails and kept one-upping itself with two dudes pulling one over on angels and demons at whim, breaking magic contracts and poo poo. Now I find out it's been going on for another seven seasons. How far down the hole could it possibly be? "'Cat's cradle' Vonnegut or 'slaughterhouse five' Vonnegut?"

The Leviathans were a cool concept burned off in one season and as a whole the show has seemed like its been too worried about renewal to try any major multi-season arcs.

A really big part of me liking the show is the behind the scenes stuff. Con appearances where they talk about filming, pranking Misha, the time Misha pissed all over himself on an airplane, the time he made a dude faint by farting in front of him on another airplane, the time he completely failed to throw a paper airplane, the time Richard Speight slept through Misha pissing all over himself on a flight, the time the studio had to send people to get Jared and Jensen to quit loving with Misha during his directorial debut and ended up laughing off everything while he got pranked mercilessly, the time the cameraman even got into it and unzipped his pants WHILE STILL WORKING THE CAMERA solely for the purpose of loving with Misha during a scene... Hell, even the stuff like the story behind Jared stopping ALL THE TRAINS when he left a bag at the station, or when him and Osric were wrestling and he dislocated his shoulder. I love the show, even with all its flaws, but the stories that come out of the set show how much incredible fun these guys have and that plays a lot into making me like the show. It's rare to find a cast that gets along as well as these guys do, but more importantly it's really rare to have a cast that goes out of their way to gently caress with each other as much as these guys do.

There is no consensus about 8, it was loaded with loving dumb things like "Oh we promised to not bring each other back so I left you to rot and got a girlfriend!" when Dean wasn't loving dead and he knew exactly where he went. Then Season 9 was a complete clusterfuck. The entire season was building towards completing a trial and these magic tablets; every other scene "KEEP WORKING ON THE TABLETS, SLAVE BOY." Then right before solving everything Sam decides to utterly abort, and not because it wasn't going to work or he found out some dark secret behind it. The dude had the chance to do a major thing, and instead, he just hosed everyone over because he got cold feet. (Think about that every time Crowley or a demon kills someone.) Then they pick up with the angel fall thing and ... proceeds to dick it all up. Tablet kid bites the dust with zero ceremony, having slaved for hours until his own health had him bleeding from expired hot dogs, and they basically just dumped all his work in the trash, made a big deal about caring about his death, and couldn't even honor Bobby's last request. Speaking of which they also got Bobby to gently caress himself over and be.. uhh, arrested in heaven? And they left him there. The Winchesters are massive assholes and the show doesn't seem to realize it. ED: By the way if you're saying they didn't seal the gates of hell because, well duh, where are all the evil people going to go - nobody even THOUGHT to bring that up. No, Sam just decided the thing he'd been working for a year at the risk of dying, wasn't worth dying for. Then he proceeded to die anyway sort of. What a dumbass. Also I can't even call Heaven dicks for hating Castiel at this point. Dude has killed thousands of them personally, then broke out a war criminal who killed thousands more. Why is he always surprised they're not friendly? "I will never give you the two walking apocalypse-creators known as the Winchesters!" (Also, he works with the devil from time to time.)

So my girlfriend got me to go watch Crimson Peak with her the other day, and guess who pops up very early on? Jim Beaver (Bobby). It really stuck me that I've never really seen him in anything outside of the show, but drat if he's not instantly likable in the role. In fact, I can without any doubt at all say he's the best thing about the movie. Of course.. (Crimson Peak spoiler): ..like Supernatural, it immediately goes downhill fast once he leaves. I'd kill to see this guy in a western with Jeff Bridges or something. It's kind of a shame he's not in more stuff. ED: And surprisingly yes, he out acts every other actor in the movie. I'd watched a whole movie about his character instead. Kind of wish I did. Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Oct 17, 2015 |
