‘Supernatural’: Miss me?

Supernatural
“Devil’s Bargain”
February 8, 2018

THEN

Wait, did Cas just kill Lucifer?

NOW

No, no he did not. Because despite being stabbed in the heart, Lucifer somehow survived? And still had enough juice to wing himself from Hell’s Winter White House in Massachusetts to a small town in Missouri? Where he steals the grace of, and then rips the heart from, a perfectly lovely cupid? Who wears a nice suit and a cunning peach overcoat and is not a naked, huggie, man-baby?

‘Supernatural’: I can’t be helpless again

Supernatural
“Various & Sundry Villains”
February 1, 2018

THEN

“I hate witches. They’re always spewing their bodily fluids everywhere…It’s creepy, y’know, it’s downright unsanitary!”

NOW

Cas and Lucifer spend the episode cooling their heels in warded cells and jawing at each other.  It’s mostly filler but for the part when Cas tells Lucifer that his son is a good, kind, and thoughtful boy who doesn’t look anything like his father.

‘Supernatural’: But that’s not me

“Breakdown”
January 25, 2018

THEN

“What the cuss?!? A vampire??”

NOW

Oshkosh, Nebraska. A car pulls in to Mann-burned out Y-’s Truck Stop Cafe to fill up. The driver’s credit card is declined at the pump, so the young woman goes inside to pay. The room stills and all eyes turn to her when she walks in. The energy is not friendly. The cashier is downright slimy. After gassing up and declining a gaunt Manson looking dude’s offer to wash her windows, the woman drives away.

Some distance down the road she pulls over with a flat tire. I would drive on the rims before I stopped on a dark murder road. I HAVE driven on the rims rather than stopping on a dark murder road. She tries to flag down a passing semi, but the truck roars past.

Supernatural
“Wayward Sisters”
January 18, 2018

“Something bad’s coming.”

Something badass, you mean. Let’s just take a moment to enjoy, shall we?

Five seconds of THEN and I’m already in my feels.

‘Supernatural’: Welcome to Jurassic Park

Supernatural
“The Bad Place”
December 7, 2017

THEN

“If you ever need someone to talk to, someplace to go … my door’s always open.”

NOW

An artist is expecting a prospective buyer. His expectations are low. Studio visits rarely end in a sale. The door bell buzzes and there’s Jack. Hello!

He always seems so pleased to meet new people.

‘Supernatural’: Just keep working

Supernatural
“The Scorpion and the Frog”
September 30, 2017

THEN

“I’ve got this.”

NOW

Jack is still off the grid and Ketch has gone to ground, so Dean sits in the Bunker’s kitchen cleaning his gun. I really only mention it as an excuse for this:

Mmmm … Dean cleaning guns …

‘Supernatural’: Ugh. This guy again.

Supernatural
“War of the Worlds”
November 23, 2017

THEN

“If I plan to do anything else stupid I will let you know.”

NOW

Jack is still at liberty and in the wind.  Castiel worries that the absence of signs or leads means Jack has been dragged to Hell by Rock Me Asmodeus or spirited to Heaven.  So he resolves to go and politely ask one of his angelic brethren if they have the kid.

Solid plan.  What could possibly go wrong?

Dean tells his angel not to do anything stupid.  It’s how Team Free Will says, “I love you.”

‘Supernatural’: This is family business

by whitney hall, posted in supernatural: season 13

Supernatural
“Tombstone”
November 16, 2017

THEN

“I just need a damn win.”

NOW

Sam and Dean are still standing in the street gawping. Cas calmly says he was dead and then he annoyed an ancient cosmic being and now he’s back. That’s good enough for Dean. He says, “Welcome home, pal,” and puts his arms around his angel. HUGGING! YAY! HUGGING!

Cas tells them he was in the Empty. Sam asks him what it was like. Cas is like, ‘Uh, empty? A great nothingness? The name kind of says it all’.

Duh

Supernatural
“Advanced Thanatology”
November 9, 2017

THEN

“You and your brother keep coming back. You’re an affront to the balance of the universe and you cause disruption on a global scale.”

NOW

Grand Junction, Colorado. Two boys are recording a nighttime exploration of an abandoned mental hospital. It feels like an equal parts homage to Stranger Things and Blair Witch. They go into an upstairs treatment room and find a small collection of leather plague masks.

‘Supernatural’: It matters what you do

Supernatural
“The Big Empty”
November 2, 2017

THEN

Mandroids. Laser eyes.

NOW

Dean has a case – a man seemingly murdered by his dead wife. He’s surprised that Sam is interested. He wonders if they’re going to leave “Damien” in a circle of holy oil to Netflix and chill while they check it out. Sam says no, they’re going to bring EJ with. Dean balks. He calls it adventures in babysitting the Antichrist.

Writer Meredith Glynn seems to be having a contest with herself to see how many one-liners she can cram into this scene.
