Suddenly I have flashbacks to "I Robot, You Jane" Noooooooooo........

-- Harry ++ Kevin -- Ed 27 - Henriksen 27 - Jody 27 - Kevin 21 - Mrs. Tran 19 - Pamela 17 - Chuck 17 - Bela 17 - Lisa 17 - Jessica 15 - Frank 11 - Charlie 09 - Henry Winchester 07 - Adam 03 - Ed 03 - Harry 03 - Ben 01 - Karen Singer Writer’s Cannon Fodder Becky Amelia Cole Claire

Not in my opinion. Yes, Bobby comes off looking good but the episode was hardly focused on him. He was a visitor in one of the two storylines.

Well I was swigging wine during the episode... Soooo....LUCIFER! Look, I still have a hard time seeing it, but if Sam decides somehow contacting Lucifer is the way to go...a bunch of you get to say a big "I told you so". I'm looking forward to Book of the Damned. I'd love to see the prop. Okay, so skin pages written in blood is BAD. Still, it'd be hella-cool. (my inner biblophile is seriously excited about that episode). Also, Cas & Marv roadtrip. Cas punching Marv is really not going to get old. But it sure seems to me that the bit of grace is leading us back to Claire. Again...claim your "I told you so!" for those who called it already.

Me too.

Because they were all named Robert Singer (if you looked at the door labels). I'm thinking the female was actually originally a Robert Singer who perhaps choose to become a Roberta Singer? As to why there was no one in the bar? I presume Rowena chased them out. Other thoughts: I LOVED LOVED LOVED the bar scenes. I particularly enjoyed Dean "Dr Phil" and Crowley. Because YES, I love that Bromance. So THERE. I don't care if it's wrong. I don't wanna be right. *puts hands on hips* So glad Cas & Sam had a good plan to get leverage on Metatron. Seeing Bobby get potentially hauled away to Heaven jail makes me think that this is part of the reason Sam didn't involve Dean. Dean wouldn't risk Bobby's Heaven. Sam, apparently, was willing to do that. Dean, of course, would risk it if Sam was in trouble... but not for himself. Yes, AwesomeO, I think they are setting up Sam. I got misty-eyed during that letter. And I thought Dean screwing around with Sam's room was priceless. It's important he take the time to enjoy the little things like pranking his younger brother. More after a rewatch.

Dean. This is my headcanon and you can't stop me. Crowley's fancy drink with parasol & devil's fork! Well Marvatron DID mention Lucifer. *shudders* I did a fist pump at that. I'm thinking this was Marvatron's idea. He didn't have the Angel-power (vice manpower...get it?.... Dean worthy pun), to keep the more complex Heaven going so they got this simple version.

Oh yeah. I run in fear of chemistry. And I also draw like Dean in "Dead In The Water" plus my daughter picks out my clothes that have any sense of style. IA. I think "Brother's Keeper" being the title is enough to guarantee this is a heavy Sam/Dean episode.

Sorry about, my inner math geek went a little nuts.

I think that's exactly what Carver WANTS you to think. But...I bet the twist is that he DOESN'T kill Rowena. First off, Rowena is still alive for "The Werther Project" (EP.19, based on her thanking the director Stefan Pleszczynski about bringing treats to set on March 6th). Second off, we're kinda expecting it. So, if Dean spares Rowena for Crowley's sake...what does that mean? Does it mean Dean is trying to avoid going head to head with Crowley (to avoid Cain's prophecy?)? IDK. And it's possible that Crowley stops the killing blow but knows Dean would do it (which would also be a reason to change their relationship). But IDK. Rowena's clearly sitting there with a magick'd dude who is not going to make it because he's bleeding from the eyes. That's pretty much a smoking gun in terms of not only has she easily killed in the past but she's actively killing now. It's a lot to ask for Dean to just give her a pass as he's still a hunter. So it's not like Crowley doesn't know she has it coming. She does. But... we'll see in a few hours! Well, I'd start with the Weibull distribution for Angel Grace failure for your regular run of the mill Angel. f(t) = dF(t)/dt = (β/αβ) tβ-1exp{-(t/α)β} And then suggest that Cas' recharging ability is akin to a frequency mismatch. As they are multidimensional beings of celestial intent, I think their individual frequencies do not align. So, Cas can still provide some Angel-function but he has limited/if any recharge ability. Thus the in the above equation, while most angels have a β >4, Cas actually has a β <1, which means he's going to have what is considered an "infant mortality" issue. He might get a little recharge, but it's not enough to match the outgoing charge of just existing. So, eventually, even without using any powers, Cas wears out. But rather than explain Weibull distributions, he just says he doesn't recharge. As for how much does Angel juice cost each time? That's not linear, more likely logrithmic, depending on the type of task performed. For Angels with a β>1, no problem in recharging if the task is small enough. At β >4, most every task is par for the course and recharging isn't observable. Some tasks, like time travel and banishing 4 angels to whereeverthehell using your own body...that takes a toll and recovery is again, a function of the power expended. Or...just multiply the number of angels banished by .85 to get the drain on the Angel juice. This math geek moment brought to you by knowledge of Battery Life distributions http://ijesat.org/Volumes/2012_Vol_02_Iss_05/IJESAT_2012_02_05_06.pdf and April Fools.

I think Cas used up his Angel grace more after his first power-up than he has since his second. I think he's kinda hording it. I don't have an exhaustive list but he healed Sam, he had to kill a few Angels, he smited the dude who's Grace he took, etc.. OTOH, since repowering, he's held onto a raging Demon!Dean and blown down two doors. I think that's it. ETA: Like Death & Taxes: This is a guarantee.

Do what? They are looking for help from Heaven (likely Boogertron) and Dean couldn't ninja into Heaven even if he died right now. So... I think it's just explaining that they are desperate and that Dean is getting worse. In the Carver preview, Sam clearly hears Dean letting out a pseudo-Demonic growl in his nightmares. Which makes the whole "how did you sleep?" comment much more layered. I suspect Sam feels they are running out of time before Dean goes Demon again. I suspect they're right. So...desperate times...this is their next move. I'm also guessing Cas' objection is primarily related to talking to Metatron in the first place. I think Metatron is right next to Crowley on his Christmas list (as in NOT). In fact, I think that if the universe said ONE of the two had to die (Metatron or Crowley), he just might pick Metatron. Crowley is literally the devil they know. Metatron is a full-on douchebag who could possibly make shit much worse if free. Crowley is free now and it's pretty status quo. Metatron gets free and it's a freaking mess again.

I think he's going to try and Ninja his way to Boogertrons cell. The hallway full of souls is probably a diversion. So Bobby's heaven is reading books and tinkering around his house. I like that. I hope there's peach cobbler.

J2 (that means it was one or the other and I can't remember which) that Sam and Dean suffer from a sort of attachment disorder. Personally aware of someone WITH that condition, I'd say they show some level of that but not the official thing.

Yes he is (brother's name is Mitch). He's a good sport. As are the boys

-- Adam -- Ed -- Harry 27 - Henriksen 27 - Jody 25 - Kevin 21 - Mrs. Tran 19 - Pamela 19 - Chuck 17 - Bela 17 - Lisa 15 - Frank 15 - Jessica 13 - Charlie 11 - Ed 09 - Harry 09 - Adam 09 - Henry Winchester 05 - Karen Singer 05 - Ben Writer’s Cannon Fodder Becky Amelia Cole Claire

You know, I thought Sam had reached some level of peace in S8/S9. With the hunting life and the trials "purifying him". But now I suspect we have another round to go with Sam. He's desperate and ready to go Mystery Spot again. So...I have confidence we will get more "Sam" development in the rest of S10 and S11.

Yep, I'm betting it's 10.21. First I was thinking finale, but now...now I'm thinking earlier. Meet and Greet link from the always FABULOUS Lynn at Fangasm. Jensen is really excited for the finale. I take that as a good sign because he has excellent instincts. Placed here because of the Felicia Day implications. https://fangasmthebook.wordpress.com/2015/04/01/jensen-ackles-meet-and-greet-tidbits-from-seacon-are-you-ready-for-the-rest-of-s10/#comment-24582 And I don't mind Charlie coming back at all. I think the more she comes back, the less supercalifragilisticexpealidocious she will be. I think it's highly improbably that in the last 3 episodes it's a Charlie-focus. Those are usually the gear up for the finale. Which would imply she's part of the main mytharc, not just a parallel story for the boys. JMO YMMV.

You win the Internet tonight!

Carver preview https://twitter.com/cw_spn/status/583023712531673088 So I'm guessing Rowena lures Dean to that bar.

I watched. He toured behind the MoL facade. He's just experimenting with app at this time.

DD... Is that speculation, cause it's kinda cool.

I'm going to doubt it because I think Mark's been in Vancouver. We also have confirmation of Misha in the finale because he live broadcast today on a new app: http://spnuk.tumblr.com/post/115140215265 As he states, there's nothing but Misha walking around between two trailers BUT...Jim Micheals confirmed they were starting to film the finale today. So...voila! Accidental spoilage. I am no longer in fear of "Angel Heart." Yay! If Mark gives a hint about filming in the next 8 days then we know he's there too.

I wasn't trying to suggest one night stands are something to be judged for, but rather that he's worth building long term relationships. And it's Dean himself who suggests he wants more meaningful relationships. I also don't think that it's about sex. In the absymal "Rock and a Hard Place", I think Dean was telling the truth that the "adios" is hard. He's a people person that can't get close to people for fear of getting them killed. But I think, in the past, he also feels like he's not worth that risk. That's the self-loathing part. I guess what I'm saying, is that his desire to actually get close to people, let go of being in control, actually accept help because he's worth it...this is what I got out of that confessional scene. But how does John enter into this?
