Yeah, Adam coming back for at least one episode would be a good conclusion.

Wouldn't Adam be thousands of years old by now? He didn't get tortured, but being locked in a box with 1-3 other guys for thousands of years can't be good for you. They didn't even have books or TV or anything.

Psychepath posted:It's feeling like with the Sheriff's speech, Sam wanting him to tell his son the truth, and the teenagers, they're inching toward a full iZombie knowledge dump on the rest of the world. And hunters/angels/demons in a world where everyone knows what's going on in the dark sounds interesting to me. That would make sense. Cameras are everywhere. Far more than even 14 years ago when the show started. Really good cameras, too. 20 years ago a store security camera was usually a blurry black and white mess. I worked at a 7-11 back then and to save storage space the VCR only recorded a frame every 3 seconds. Now it's a few hundred bucks for a full set up with HD cameras that have night vision built in and a DVR that can record hundreds of hours of full HD footage. Plus phone cameras, dash cams, body cams. Some things don't show up on camera, but lots of things do. It's inconceivable that there isn't already plenty of legit recordings of monsters and magic on their universe's Youtube. The situation is ripe. Eventually something is going to get on the news, and then something else, and then the secret is out and the hundreds of credible witnesses and survivors will go public.  At some point the only explanation for monsters not being on the 6 o'clock news is monsters being extinct. We've seen no sign of any leader type monsters with the juice to censor the whole drat internet. For extra irony points the boys should end up joining the FBI's monster task force, so they finally have real badges.

Like they're at the presidential podium on live tv. "Okay, so the christian god is basically real, kinda a dick, all the other religious icons people on Earth believe in were murdered in a get together in a motel, there's alternate realities, every type of monster you've heard of, or haven't heard of it exists, remember when Chicago was falling apart? That was us fighting Lucifer and also Death was there. Yeah, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse existed. Been to Hell. Sucks. Been to Heaven. Kinda cool, but not really. Angels are mostly dicks. Sometimes demons are our friends. We found a cool gun once that killed a bunch of monsters but then we lost it. Basically a lot of monsters exist, angels exist and their mostly dicks, try not to end up in hell unless you make friends with the King of hell which is different then Lucifer because we threw his rear end into a transdimenional cage with out half brother, but he is back now and doing stuff, but long story.... and... now we'll take questions."

I'd probably focus on the monster stuff and not the religion stuff at first. There is no reason to talk about dead or absent gods because they won't affect anything. Just stick to the common non-extinct monsters to begin with. Like ghosts. Ghosts will never be extinct and there are some basic how to deal with ghosts rules that could help people.

Hunters could charge for their services (thought they'd probably have to be licensed and regulated). Companies could sell sigil kits, hex protections. There would be "Salt Your Homes" kits or even rings of salt and wards built into new homes.

Haha, this is all I want from the final season of Supernatural now. "Oh yeah, and no more cemeteries. Sorry if it goes against your personal or religious beliefs, but it's all cremation from now on. That's just how it's going to be. But if you call in the next 20 minutes you don't just get a sack of salt and hex protections for 39.99, you also get a free can of lighter fluid to burn the body of your loved one when they turn into a monster or a ghost. Because they will. Act now." Supernatural kinda reminds me of Stargate and how IMO Atlantis screwed their ending by keeping it a secret. After 10+ years, thousands of people must know and must have told everyone they know about the most incredible thing that has ever happened to them. Like everyone must either know or be a friend or a friend of a friend who has heard of this madness. I don't think Supernatural will go in that direction of full disclosure, but it'd be really fun if they did. The idea of Youtube and Instagram "influnencers" summoning crossroad demons is hilarious.

Joe wanted to do season 6 of Atlantis to finish it off then move on to Universe. Syfy thought that with BSG ending, they needed another grimdark show, so they canceled Atlantis and said go forward immediately with Universe.

Maybe it's just me, but cursing a bad guy to be a man-eating monster doesn't seem like a great plan. "How dare this guy eat mans, now he'll eat nothing but mans forever!!" At least drop him off in enemy territory rather than in your own hunting grounds. Why does no one every think through these curses ahead of time?

Not really clear on why Jack killing Nick when he was literally seconds away from resurrecting Lucifer after having been a spree killer, gotten arrested, escaped, and killed more people and also apparently had demons helping him out was such a negative thing. It just seems like a weird time to get on a moral high horse when the main characters cut down monsters left and right for doing less. Plus using that to kill off Mary seemed really cheap. That's some really lazy writing for a show that has been trying so much harder these last few years.

Just caught up. Sad. Very sad. That being said I thought that was a really good episode and sendoff for a character that kind of didn't have a lot happening and probably was deserving of "peace." And its definitely an effective storytelling device as the line Jack can not uncross.Tiggum posted:I think it was more about the way he did it. He didn't just kill him, he tortured him to death. Yeah, it was very obviously not about killing Nick. Sam spent the entire episode wanting to kill Nick. Mary literally said "not like that." It wasn't that Jack killed him. It certainly wasn't that Jack stopped him (which he had already done without killing him). It was that Jack acted with wrath and anger and sadism. It was vengeance. And a vengeaful, wrathful teenager with the powers of God is a problem. As was immediately shown without any delay.

I'm honestly kinda annoyed at the shorter season now. When they originally announced it they were like "It gives us more time with our families and in turn that lets us want to do the show longer" and then boom, "next season is the final season". Also, just wondering, but since Jack is the most powerful thing next to chuck and his sis, why didn't anyone just have him try to fix his own soul? Seems like a somewhat obvious solution that no one bothered to actually think of. Was surprised no one detonated last night when being made angels. Also a little surprised Duma bought it. I don't know if she's dead or not. She didn't do the usual angel glowy bit, and there were no wing marking burnt anywhere.

This season didn't really have a solid villain and got rid of almost every non-brother character, but I'm really looking forward to the last season. I didn't expect Chuck or Amara to return, but the idea of God's favorite main characters in his storylines of the multiverse rejecting him is so weird and high concept that I'm really into it. There's a ot of potential for cosmically weird poo poo next season and I hope they can deliver.
