‘Supernatural’: The rising son

Supernatural
“The Rising Son”
October 19, 2017

THEN

Azazel was a fanatic.  Ramiel was a fisherman.  Dagon had her toys. Asmodeus has his hobbies.

NOW

The doors burst open. Blinding white light spills into Hell’s throne room. The light recedes to reveal a tall man with the fashion sensibilities of End!verse Lucifer (or a Kentucky colonel) and the accent of a True Blood vampire.

He strides to the dais and announces that he is Ahs-Moh-Deus, Prince of Hell, there to rule and restore fire and brimstone order until Lucifer & son return.

‘Supernatural’: And nothing else matters

Supernatural
“Lost and Found”
October 12, 2017

THE ROAD SO FAR

Mary came back. Lucifer came back. The Colt came back. The Colt was destroyed. Eileen Leahy came back. Eileen Leahy died because BuckLeming are bullshit. The grenade launcher came back. Jody and Claire are wayward AF. Cas almost died. Crowley brought him back. Floating Space Vagina happened. Bobby came back – sort of. Crowley died. Kelly died. Cas died. Lucifer and Mary fell through the Floating Space Vagina.

What doesn’t merit mention in the montage – at least directly – is the British Men of Letters. Because Show has looked at its life and looked at its choices and realized that the BMoL was a poorly executed bad idea.

‘Supernatural’: So that happened

Supernatural
“Who We Are”
“All Along the Watchtower”
May 18, 2017

THEN: “Your bunker is an excellent fortress – and even better tomb.”

DAY ONE

The boys cast about for ways out of the Bunker. Lady Cardboard shoots down every idea, because even in this, she is the ruiner. The garage – doors warded, walls reinforced steel. Air vents – choke points in the ducts. Dean suggests killing Lady C to help buy them another day’s air. She counters that she’s their only hope for getting Mary back. She’s the only one who can undo the programming. They need her.

It feels like a lie, but one the boys are willing to buy it for the moment.

‘Supernatural’: Let me tell you why that’s bullshit

Supernatural
“There’s Something About Mary”
May 11, 2017

THEN: Racist ghost truck.  Dean’s daughter.  Annie Hawkins.  “Man’s Best Friend with Benefits.”  Rogue Reapers. A backdoor to Purgatory. Benny.  Human Cas LOL!consent.  Kevin.  Charlie.  Metatron.  Mind rape.

NOW:

Eileen Leahy is mauled to death by a hellhound controlled by Ketch, because writers Brad Buckner and Eugenie Ross-Leming can’t just kill her, they have to kill her with a monster she can neither hear nor see.  Also, let’s not forget that a civilian was able to fight off the HBIC hellhound not five episodes ago.  But a seasoned and competent hunter isn’t even given the courtesy of making a heroic stand.

That is some bullshit. Shoshannah Stern and Eileen Leahy deserved better.

‘Supernatural’: Just like that, it’s gone

Supernatural
“Twigs & Twine & Tasha Banes”
May 4, 2017

THEN: “Dad’s on a hunting trip. And he hasn’t been home in a few days.”

NOW

Rock River, Wyoming. A wee little smart car pulls up to the Mountain Slumber boarding house. Tasha Banes is greeted by another guest when she steps into the lobby. The bitchy old broad is so clearly the monster she’s hunting that Tasha should just shoot, stab, and/or immolate her on the spot and be done.

Supernatural
“The Future”
April 27, 2017

THEN: “I’m saying don’t…Just ’cause. I’m asking you not to. That’s it.”

“Hold my beer.”

NOW

Kelly is chained to a cot in the basement.  Dagon has stopped playing nice now that she’s proven herself a flight risk.  For her part, Kelly has stopped eating and bathing. There doesn’t seem much point when her baby is going to kill her.

“The Memory Remains”
April 13, 2017

THEN: “These hunters are out of control. Exterminate them.”

NOW

SPN_Dont go in the woods

Well if that’s not reason enough to stay out of the woods, I don’t know what is.

“The British Invasion”
April 6, 2017

THEN: “Who you gonna call? Douchebusters!”

NOW

The boys walk into the Bunker to find Mick sitting in the library waiting for them. He invites them to come and have a drink with him. They boys are like, this place is supposed to warded against every evil. How did you get in? Mick is a Man of Letters. Their fortaleza is his fortaleza. Also, did they know their key opens every Chapterhouse in the world?

These boys need to change the locks. Now.

Supernatural
“Ladies Drink Free”
March 30, 2017

THEN: “I solemnly swear not to hunt like a dumbass.”

NOW

Sam and Dean are waiting in the BMoL’s ops room. By their expressions, they’ve been waiting a while. Dean checks his watch and turns for the door. He says getting jobs from these Richards is one thing, but he didn’t sign up for the reporting for duty crap. Especially when they’re late.

Mick walks in with apologies. He and Dean hiss and spit at each other until Sam steers them back to the case. A brother and sister were attacked in the woods in Wisconsin. The girl, Hayden, is in the hospital. Her brother Ben had his heart ripped out.
