I hope they don't bring him back.

That story has ran its course and Sam/Dean no longer need to re-visit things with their dad. Especially with the relationship they have with Bobby and the confessed feelings of kinship twixt the trio.

How can having your dad being nowhere be resolved? In the episode Dark side of the Moon it was stated that neither of their parents can be found in Heaven.

That doesn't sound like resolution to me. Sounds like another story begging to be told. Also, tells me they had something planned in regards to that story line.

Isn't John Winchester in hell from selling his soul to save Dean?

Didn't Mary sell her soul to save John? IIRC she had to kiss the yellow eyed monster who was possessing her dad to seal the deal.

Yes. No.

If memory serves, John sold his soul to save Dean whereas Mary agreed to let the yellow eyed demon take Sam in exchange for John's life (Although, I don't think he TOLD her it would be her child, I think it was along the lines of "I'm going to come back one of these days and ask for something...and you're going to let me have it. Agreed?")

 

[Louis]

thanks for the reminder on Mary. Was bringing John back to life part of that deal too then? Didn't yellow eyes break his neck?

 

[ActingWild]

Yes, yellow eyes broke John's neck and then made a deal with Mary to bring him back to life. I don't believe any souls were involved in that deal.

Man, what a great show. It took me a couple of seasons to get hooked, but I'm in the middle of Season 5 and it's f'n great.

Cass is a great character. He cracks me up.

 

[Louis]

I've been trying to tell my wife that the show takes awhile to kick into gear when the story starts coming together about Angels, Demons, etc. The freak of the week stuff still remains but ultimately it is driving towards a very good conclusion.

The characters are wonderfully done and that especially includes Cass.

I have to agree. There have been lots of "Supernatural" type tv shows that tried to take the Buffy/Angel mantel and didn't measure up. Most of those show are already gone. Supernatural is as close as it gets for me to those old shows (although much more gory).

This show rocks.

 

[Louis]

Hopefully people are still watching because that last episode was one of my favorites I have ever seen. It was fun and I like that this show doesn't take itself so seriously.

Funny stuff.

They always have one or two clever episodes per year that really shows off the quality of their writers, and last week was one of them.

And fake Ruby is hot. And Jared's real-life wife.

Yeah, they got married last year (although, my wife and I didn't know that until this episode aired and we were like "I wonder if THAT'S true?"....and yup! Fun episode but I do miss the X-Files like scary episodes that used to be their staple. Still, we really liked this last one.

John isn't in hell any more. After he escaped the hell gate to help save the crew, he disappeared into a bright light. They can't find him in heaven, I remember, so I think he ended up in purgatory. I also believe Mary is in purgatory. She didn't sell her soul; as it was said, she sold what turned out to be Sam. Even so, making deals with demons isn't likely to get you straight to heaven.

I finally was able to start watching this show in the new year. It was fantastic, but I felt it wouldn't be interesting for long if it was simply a monster-hunting show. Thankfully, that wasn't the case. From season one, each season, and sometimes a series of seasons, had an overarching theme, or mission, or what have you. I finally caught up this morning, watching season 6 ep 15, and watching ep 16 after having put it on DVR. Season 6 started really, really weak to me, and it wasn't flowing in the least. I think they've finally got it on track, but I think it really took them half of the season to do so.

I'm worried, too, that in recent seasons through the present they've been killing off characters at an alarming rate. The one big mistake they made, I think, was choosing Lisa over Ellen and Mary Joe. I really couldn't stand the whole drama early in Season 6 with the 'will they or won't they stay together' with Dean, Lisa and Ben. Way, way too soap opera for me. For my money, they should have only killed off Ellen, and had Mary Joe be Dean's love interest. That way he could have stayed in the game, had his girl to take care of him in his grief, and they wouldn't have to have met Sam and his new crew.

Overall, however, this show is absolutely fantastic. I have loved every season but season 6, and even that season has finally come around. I really hope it keeps on going with quality seasons, since I was so late to the game

The only problem is that Mary Joe (or the actress playing her) was TERRIBLE. I'm glad she's gone. Personally, I thought Ellen was a kick-ass character, and am sad about last night's death, but we still got Bobby, thank goodness.

Boy last night was a bad night to be a supporting actor on Supernatural . . .

Yeah, if they ever get rid of Jim Beaver, at this point, it very well may kill the show. He's just so good and so important now. I was thrilled to see him make an appearance in the series, and overjoyed when I found out he was going to be a regular.

 

[Pariah]

I just watched S6 up to the break (BTW, when is it supposed to come back from its hiatus?). It took me a while to get into it again because I really don't think soulless sam worked. It really threw off the dynamic and made it far less enjoyable.

But the episode where they were transported to our universe where they were actors was fantastic. It's a story that could have easily gone way off the tracks, but it was really well done. And, like others, it prompted me to spend some time on IMDB to "fact-check." Good stuff.

 

[Angel]

New episode 4/15, their going to tweek the sinking of the Titanic. Should be good.

As a side note I read on the "TV Survival Scorecard" at EW.com that my darling Winchesters are on the renewal bubble. :-(

I hope they let the show go out on its own terms. I'd hate for it to end on an unresolved cliffhanger.

I hate that too. It's my # one pet peeve for shows that are going to get canceled. Give the writers enough time to end things properly. It's a punch in the gut to fans when they don't.

 

[Louis]

The episode where they were sent to the set of the show would have made a great ending. The guys accepting their place as Jared and Jensen and deciding to live out their lives as those two instead of Sam and Dean.

I had read a while ago that they were already renewed.

 

[Angel]

I had read a while ago that they were already renewed.

I didn't think they would decide until May, though what I read from the network is that everyone would be surprised if it is not renewed. Just mentioning the EW article cause it was fresh in my mind and I was shocked to find it on the endangered list, I love the writing on the show.

 

[Pariah]

Holy (nopunintended) crap. I just watched the first two minutes of the new Supernatural. F'n awesome!

 

[Pariah]

I wouldn't be surprised if the tipper gores of the world are planning a full frontal assault.

 

[Covert Rain]

This show fraken rocks.
