Oh, Sherlock, you were attentive to the nuances of the promo.
I, clearly, couldn't have cared less last week. 😛

I finished watching the episode just few mins mins ago so before I try to go back and wrap my head around it, the thing I REALLY liked

Introduction of Claire Novak, we see demons, angels possessing people. But what about the people they posses, and their families. Well Winchesters clearly don't bother with exorcism now. When Claire said to the Winchesters that , that monster [ pointing at Cas] was possessing her dad and they did not do anything about it. When she said to Cas about the fact that it is due to him, she is where she is now. Her storyline is something I really liked.

Dean and Sam taking about the 'Ney York incident' . Love the way Dean was narrating the story and I really am fond of the moments when we get a glimpse of the Winchester's childhood.
' It is not my job to be liked, it is my job to raise you right' Extra points for this line John Winchester.

Rowena sold Fergus for three pigs :O Ofcorse Crowley you are totally worth 5 . BTW I think I like Rowena and her accent :P


The ending. DEAN KILLED THEM ALL :O The way Sam was desperately asking him to tell that it was not his fault. MAN THIS IS GOOD.




AND YES WHO ON EARTH MAKES THOSE PROMOS WHICH HAD ME FREAKING OUT FOR THE LAST WHOLE WEEEK :|

Thanks for clarifying it to me. 😳 I was thinking there'd be a Midseasonfinale part 2. 😉 😛


Oh that will be the promo that came after today's epi. It's hanging from the cliff somewhere.

Now that we're done talking about the 'good', did anyone else had a problem with the episode? I, for starters, believe that the writers need to get back to delivering an episode of 40 minutes worth and stop with the last 10 minutes powerful finish. 😳 I loved how effective the last few minutes were of the episode all thanks to every element that supported it but I cannot deny the fact that I miss those episodes where I'd be on the edge of the seat for the whole of 40 minutes.

I m lost with this epi. I think I was expecting something else. Even the end didn't satisfy me. So he went murdered everybody in the house just like his nightmare and Sam couldn't stop him. He is becoming AGAIN the thing that he doesn't want to be.Now that I write it down it seems better thought but yeah what was the point of this WHOLE epi?
To see that Rowena can manipulate Crowley? To see the domestic life of Sam and Dean?To know that Claire's life sucks because of Cas or angels as a whole thing? They are five freaking years late to go into the topic btw. Did I miss out anything else that happened? Was there any monster involved? Was there a tinge of hint to where the freaking story is heading to this season? No don't tell me it is the MOC.there was hardly any MOC in the epi.

For me the epi would have suited better as a stand alone one.I would have enjoyed and appreciated better than. I hardly paid attention to anything cause I kept going like where is Dean and the mark. Also I felt the ending could have been more crisp and could have made more impact if they left us wondering whether Dean did that intentionally or he was forced by the Mark. The fact that they pretty much showed why Dean did it killed the curiosity.

You play a good cliffhanger at the end of any finale to bring back your audience. I think ending didn't quite reach there. They could have announced that SPN will come back in Feb and I would still not bother cause there is no curiosity in me right now. I already know MOC is affecting Dean. I already know whats the worst that can happen to Dean with the MOC. What is there left to build up the interest.

About Claire. I love what u guys wrote about her. But I didn't feel it u know.Thats mostly because I felt all of those things with Jimmy already back in season 4 when it happened. I remember him having so much faith in the higher power that he was so excited to serve the lord.He didn't think about his family and left. When he returned to his family and didn't wanted to pray, I cried for him. That was beautifully written.Now the story is too cold for those reactions to come back. I already imagine them to be casualty of war now. But of course Claire story is one of many trahedies that reflects what someone's action ends up doing to your life especially the ones who were innocent. One single decision destroyed a normal family

Every time Carver says that this season is personal, in my mind he is screaming at his writing staff like come up with the bloody storyline before they catch my bullshit. I think he should just hire the promo guy as his new writer. He will do the miracle.I have full faith in him.


P.S:That John moment was awesome. I love when the both remember him fondly. Just made me realised that they have lost so much.I wish John could appear once atleast before the show ends.

It was adjusted down. The one Jim Michaels likes to tweet about is the prelims one. Flash over ran on SPN's time by a minute hence carried over their audience. Then the audience count dropped and it was adjusted at 1.0, which is still awesome for a mid season finale.
Oh yeah Promo guy deserves a promotion I guess.Can he be kicked out of that job already ? I m so bitter. You all will start hating me soon 😆 I m sorry.

Sindu just inspired me to write all that I wanted to but kept holding myself back for reasons unknown to even me. But I'll do it now! Meanwhile, I do not want that promo guy to be kicked out at all. Its only and only because of those genius editing skills that had so much speculation and excitement in the air. Imagine, if it wasn't for him, we'd all sulk more badly. 😆

So, I think more than anything else my main issue with this season is how directionless it is even after 10 episodes down. And I absolutely hate the fact that they are letting so many ideas and so many opportunities go waste. Now, I get how difficult it is to be in a writers or runner's seat and come up with genius ideas and incredible tracks to keep audience hooked. Especially for a show that's completed its 9 seasons and to still keep the freshness intact is tough.

However, season 8-9 have showed so much potential and scope that at one point of time I was of opinion that may be the show could even do a 15th! But all they seem to do is open up a dozen tracks, explore them all a bit, trash it somewhere along the way or wrap them up way too soon and jump to introducing another dozen of tracks. Why can't one good arc be explored to its fullest and than proceed to the next or may be explore a few of them to its maximum potential simultaneously and then, bring upon a conclusion.

Season 8 - Men of Letters : Yes, I know they introduced Henry, explained the Henry-Abbadon connection and explored a few cases. That was great, agreed. But is that it? Wasn't bunker supposed to be a place full of inexhaustible information, history and never ending mysteries? You are bound to expect more on that front because the Winchesters are its legacies.


Season 9 - Sam's left over grace : Even after Cas injecting out Gadreel's angel grace, I remember it very clearly that there still was some left over grace in Sam. And Cas seemed so worried like it were some impending doom.


Season 9-10 - Mark of Cain, Demon Dean, Cain-Abel/Dean-Sam pararells : We all know how mercilessly Demon Dean arc was wrapped up in 3 odd episodes even after having promised this year to be of Deamon Dean. Mark of Cain, we're still in the middle of the season so can't be sure of where its headed to. But if they don't include the parallel and explore MOC to its fullest and make sure its up to the mark, boy, I'm gonna be so mad. 😳


Season 8-10 - Crowley's humanity : The trials were almost completed, Crowley was almost a human again. You'd expect him to have very serious troubles with his humanity lurking dangerously inside of him. Yes, I remember the human blood shots, not getting over 'adventures of Crowley and Squirrel' and showing human emotions for Rowena. But like I said, more severe, serious and frequent.


PS Did I mention I cannot stand Rowena? Like not at all! To me, she just comes across another Abaddon whose strength as a character is just very unappealing and uninteresting.


PPS I would have mentioned something about the angel business but ever since a few seasons I remain so confused about it all that I have actually stopped bothering about them excluding Cas, ofcourse.
