That pick of him making a face? Reminds me of Missouri saying he was one goofy looking kid.

Doh! That's right. I must confess, last fall is a blur and I'm suffering from the stomach flu today...

Oh, it was freaking fantastically done. Perfect use of video and song. With 10 years of clips to use, this individual picked out the very best. I'm just, ya know, kinda rocking back and forth keening after watching it. So... yes, by all means, everyone watch it. Then type the words "Kitten emergency" in google and look at happy pics for a while. Really, it's exceptionally well done.

I just need Dean to find hope. In something. I'd take him supporting the Kansas Jayhawks (college basketball) or the Royals (hey, someday they'll be back on top). Dean sees nothing but dark and darker. But it wouldn't be Supernatural if it didn't have a heart-rending season finale. So.... Maybe one of these eps will have a skosh of happiness.

Yep. Not okay.

Looking at the titles, I (of course) immediately begin speculating. So... random thoughts about the titles and upcoming stories. Titles on Supernatural, in general, do not necessarily reflect the source of the title (i.e. they will use the title in a more literal sense than whatever it is referencing). Also, titles usually have a multiple threads in the same episode. Note: Supporting data of who is writing what is from http://ibelieveinthelittletreetopper.tumblr.com/post/112141852198/season-10-spoiler-sheet 10x15 The Things They Carried - Cole MOTW it seems, but it's interesting to note that it seems part 2 of something ('The Things We Left Behind' being part 1). If Claire was the story of trauma after being "left behind" by TFW, perhaps Cole's is the story of the trauma he carried after being exposed to the world. IDK. But it's also important to note that Dean went Stabby McStabberson at the end of that episode. 10x16 Paint it Black - THIS freaked me out because the Rolling Stones song is very dark. "It" in this case could be anything from Deans' eyes or soul to something non-Dean related. But since it's a Buckner-Lemming episode, it sure has a lot of potential for mytharc. Seems early to me but if it is... I wonder if Dean takes off at the end (see Inside Man spec) 10x17 Inside Man - This seems to be Metatron as it's his episode. Also, with a Sam/Cas buddy story (based on pics), I think they may be looking for Dean. Andrew Dabb as the writer is a good thing. Also, there was a BTS photo of Rowena walking down an alley, bags in hand and looking dejected. My spec: I think Rowena does something to get Dean. Something magic-y. Maybe she and Dean are the B-plot. IDK, but if you look at my spec on the finale, I think they are going to plant seeds here. 10x18 Book of Damned - Charlie's back. Robbie's writing it This is the book she went to Italy for. 10x19 The Werther Project - no idea. Guessing last MOTW only because it seems like the end of this season seems mytharc heavy based on tweets from Jim Micheals, Robbie Thompson, and Bobo Berens. No ACTUAL spoilers given by these guys but they've been peeing their pants in excitement over the back end of the season. ---- softer from here on out -- 10x20 Angel Heart - Maybe they'll deal with Cas to get him at least a booster shot of grace. 10x21 Dark Dynasty - I wonder if this where they finally deal with the Grand Coven. I think it'll set up the finale. 10x22 The Prisoner - Maybe Dean is on lockdown, or they get a prisoner who they interrogate and get MoC data. 10x23 Brother's Keeper - Here's my BIG spec: I think Sam going witchy and literally put the kabosh on Dean's activity with a spell. This crack-spec is based on the witchy nature of the season (and Dean was temporarily cured by de-aging). So Sam literally become's Dean's keeper and takes away his free will. Which would be so anti-Sam as to cause massive outrage. But it would be painful too. ETA: The stuff about Rowena and Dean.

Bite your tongue! Jodi, Charlie, Donna, Alex, Garth, Mrs. Tran! But Cole seems more likely. I wonder if Khan worms like livers?

Ah. That makes it much more clear. I will say that, unless he's somehow diminished, I think God is too big a fish, even for Sam & Dean. So your theory of him letting them catch up works for me.

Left coasting seems to put in the executioner's spot. I'll be back on the East Coast tomorrow tho... Raphael, you just didn't inspire me. First, you were the most uninteresting of the Archangels IMO. You let Ken Lay in? *side-eyeing you* And you seem so entitled (a common problem amongst Angels but you seemed worst of all). And you REALLY didn't like Cas. So... that's 3 strikes. Enjoy the fires. ++ Castiel -- Raphael -- Michael 31 - Castiel 29 - Gabriel 19 - Balthazar 19 - Naomi 19 - Gadreel 17 - Lucifer 15 - Zachariah 15 - Samandriel 09 - Anna Milton 03 - Michael Molotov'd with Holy Oil Metatron Hannah Uriel Raphael

I have a hard time seeing God as the Big Bad because we've seen God (literally) in the form of Chuck in Swan Song and Fan Fiction. And he LOVES Sam, Dean and Cas. Like ADORES them. He's totally Team Free Will IMO. So....if God was to be the Big Bad, I'd think it was some sort of thing where he was losing his mind or something. I have many complex novel-length thoughts about where "God" could go in Supernatural but being the Big Bad isn't one of them. If I ever get a chance to write this down coherently, I'll post it here or provide a link.

Excellent videos!

I've kept this tab open since SUNDAY because I've been too busy to have a good sit and read. Thankfully I finally got to do that today. 1) Such an excellent set of ideas. While it may seem impossible, I swear I think I understand and actually enjoys everyone's POV on this. They may read differently but I swear, it seems like nuanced discussions that all point to Sam and Dean being totally messed up emotionally and yet totally loving of each other (in a brotherly way) no matter how pissed or freaked they may be. 2) My favorite quote about choice comes to mind: I think in S9 (aka The Empire Strikes Back), when everything was going to shit, the worst part was that the brothers were not emotionally united. In S10, I think they are exercising "the last of the human freedoms". They are choosing their attitudes and fighting TOGETHER. They are emotionally united. Dean has never been so open and honest with Sam. He's not hiding his pain or thoughts (except for the end of the last episode when Cain gave him a whopper of a prediction). He's not protecting Sam from where he is at. And Sam is, IMO, doing a masterful job at reading Dean and providing the right kind of support. Sam thinks Dean's new "just live with it" is a bullshit plan but he knows Dean needs to live that way for now .... so he supports that while still looking for solutions. I like how they are playing to Sam's strengths in terms of compassion and insight. And I like that Dean is accepting help openly. It's such character growth. Bottom Line: This series is an opus on Free Will. One of the major victories in S10 thus far has been that despite all the bad options, how they are choosing to view the situation and how they are working as a team has been a success.

. I need to see this as a vlog or something.

I love your list. And evil Post Office plot is my new head canon.

Oh I'll happy kill off that speciest assbutt. Uriel may have had snark but the dude called us "mud monkeys" and was generally not nice. So... enjoy the flames Uriel. -- Raphael -- Uriel -- Michael 29 - Gabriel 27 - Castiel 19 - Balthazar 19 - Naomi 19 - Gadreel 19 - Lucifer 17 - Zachariah 15 - Samandriel 11 - Anna Milton 07 - Michael 03 - Raphael Molotov'd with Holy Oil Metatron Hannah Uriel

In the episode where Rufus died, "...And Then There Were None", he called the worm thing that came out of people's head a "Khan worm". Reference to the second Star Trek movie "The Wrath of Khan", where Khan uses an indigenous "resident" of Seti Alpha V (where he was stranded) to control people. The "resident" was a gross bug-ish creature whose babies were worm-like disgusting things that crawled in people's ears. One fell out of Chekov's ear, just like the gross thing "...And Then There Were None", hence ... Khan worm. Looks like it WON'T involve Benny as Ty Olson tweeted: Clearly Ty is not on set --- or is really good at avoiding spoilers. But I think none-Benny is more likely. *sigh*

All EXCELLENT speculation! Jensen just loves to be clever with his hints, I think Purgatory is a real possibility. How he gets there IDK. I just want him to find Benny. And this: Truth. Seriously. Episode 10.15, "The Things They Carried", description courtesy of Clarissa http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sktn7h Khan worm! Seriously. They kept Dean's name for it. Now all we need is some Jefferson Starships to show up again.

I think Cain's dead. I did a thing: http://snazzyo.tumblr.com/post/111711037040/execution-style-the-manner-of-cains-death on Tumblr with pictures explaining why I think the whole thing was set up to look like a ritual execution.

Fixed! Thanks. I'm left coasting this week and was bleary-eyed whilst voting.

Thanks Tippi!
