Yellow Fever- I'm in the middle. Loved the return of Lilith and Dean going off on how stupid their life is. OTOH, HATED the resolution of the ghost story. As for Eye of the Tiger. It's hilarious and I can't watch it because I am odd in that way. So it's one I'll neither save nor persecute. If it's hanging on I'd push it over the edge, just to move the game along. Eulogy for "When the Levee Breaks": Well I hated the fight. Let's get that right out there. And Ruby needs to die. OTOH, I'm shallow enough to say "hubba hubba" on the Ruby/Sam chemistry when he was reaching for her knife. I also felt like the promise Dean made to Cas to serve God and "you guys" was sort of a lost opportunity. It seemed like a big deal but it didn't really bind him in anyway. I did love Dean being able to figure out Sam's moves when Sam was trying to throw him off. OTOH, Sam was playing 'hurt' so... I don't know if a determined Sam (who was not strung out) would be able to elude Dean or not. If the objective was to make us SUPER UNHAPPY before the finale -- they succeeded. So..yay?! You did your job well "When the Levee Breaks".

Well we need to eulogize The Rapture. Bits I kinda loved -- that Jimmy was a devoted man and that the way Castiel first approached him (at the start of S4) was slowly and as kindly as Cas would understand. I attribute Cas' douchey behavior at the end to his retraining. I like that Sam and Dean assumed responsibility for Jimmy and tried to protect him.

Most excellent and unusual pics!

And after watching that mockumentary, I'm convinced someone from their Insurance company is going to call. Still, it's rare that you get people who actually LIKE each other this well after working for 10 years together. Almost every guest actor says the same thing, it's due to the #1 & #2 on the call sheet (Jared and Jensen). But that they've kept the joy going? Amazing. I have to think Misha and his way-out personality really helps them too. I think it feeds the inner 12 year olds of J2.

Yes on the DVD/BluRay Tues. Someone's store put it out early. Things I couldn't believe: - they let Jared do that fire stunt - they let Jensen be on top of his trailer - what the hell was both Richard S and Timothy O doing on the set at the same time? That was the funniest mockumentary I've ever seen. And I've seen some goodies. @catrox, look for the gag reel vids on tumblr. Jensen in jorts and tank top holding a lapdog. Get your arm and leg fix there. I have no idea why except these guys must get board between takes and come up with weird shit just for fun.

Got the puzzle right away. Hee. Excellent video.

So let us talk about the wonder that was: It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester. First of all, kudos for quoting a Charlie Brown. Second, my heart breaks for Sam when he finds out that not only do the Angels not LIKE him, they are great big dicks. And bless Dean for encouraging him. I love the scene of Dean and Cas in the park. Profound bond scene. And Uriel is a BadAss. OTOH -- Razors in the candy is a personal squick. Teen witch was awful. So... an episode with some excellent scenes so I'll remember it for that. ++ The Monster at the End of This Book -- It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester --The Rapture 33 - Lazarus Rising 29 - On the Head of a Pin 27 - The Monster at the End of This Book 25 - In the Beginning 19 - Death Takes a Holiday 19 - It's a Terrible Life 17 - Yellow Fever 17 - Are You There, God?

Did the CW put that out?

So... normal clothes, lack of scruff.

Thanks for the correction Aeryn. "Imaginary Lover" I. CAN'T. EVEN. I'm already dying of vicarious embarrassment -- even tho neither Dean nor Jensen are embarrassed. It's a thing.

I swear they don't watch the show (the promo department)

DDD thanks for the adder. I'm okay with Cas being the one to at least break through his drug like demon bender. And I don't think a good talking too is all it'll take. I expect Sam or Cas to have some additional leverage to motivate. But there was also some comment (Meet & Greet maybe) that Jensen indicates that Dean tells Sam he has to make sure Dean doesn't go too far. So, I still think we are in a halfway zone for a while. Mertensia, I have no doubt Crowley is going to get some abuse but we know for sure Cas is beaten up because of the picture Misha tweeted. Then again, if all 4 haven't shed some blood by EP3, I'll be stunned.

The more I think about it, the more I think Cas's words are a turning point. Supporting 'hard' data: - Cas gets the snot beat out of him in Ep3 (Misha tweet) - Cas and Dean are at great odds. Cas wants Dean back but won't accept Dean just being a demon on the loose causing destruction. (Comic Con interview) -Sam and Dean have a confrontation in EP3 (Comic Con footage) - Sam and Dean are working together in EP5. (Interviews regarding 200th ep) - The Demon!Dean storyline is not going to be over right away (Carver interview comic con) Supporting second hand data: - a main character gets beat up against a tree in EP3 and and it's a key moment in the season Adding indicators (opinion sprinkled here) - Misha is the BEST politician when it comes to keeping fandom calm and happy. Especially those who favor Destiel. If you look at the Comic Con interviews they were all what I would term 'defensive briefs'. Misha has laid out Cas' devotion to Dean (Cas is ignoring his impending death to get Dean back). He's given Cas's POV (Demon!Dean is not Dean, and Cas wants Dean back). Plus made it clear Cas and Dean are not on the same side. MY READ: It's not going to be a pretty argument. Parallel Proclivities (now moving into speculation): As they LOVE their parallels, let's talk about past Cas/Dean conflicts -S4: in the beautiful room Dean yells at Cas and then turns his back on him and says 'we're done'. Cas olds and rebels from Heaven to try and stop Sam from killing Lillith -S6: Dean tells Cas to stop with the Purgatory plan JUST BECAUSE he's asking. Cas doesn't. Godstiel happens and it's a big mistake. -S8: Dean begs mind-controlled Cas not to kill him and take the tablet. It causes Cas to break a bit of the mind control with Naomi long enough to pause. Pure speculation: - Seems like Dean is beating the snot out of Cas (maybe after some harsh words) when Cas says something that draws the line for Dean. And Dean stops trying to kill Cas with his bare hands. - Perhaps Cas threatens Dean with a version of 'we're done' combined with perhaps a more real threat of additional angelic engagement. - Maybe Cas strikes a bargain with Dean to give him time to de-demonize so long as he stays with Sam and keeps to normal hunting. I could see THIS being a motivation for Sam and Dean to work together while Dean is still a demon. Unfortunately, I think Cas is not hanging with the boys very much.

I'm 100% convinced it's a photoshop from last year's poster/promo pics. The clothes are the same. It's moves like this (bad photoshopping of old pics) which make CW look like a netlet vs network.

How exciting! Will you give us a mini-report on stuff you thought was cool???

It's time to move it along. And I think we've already eulogized these two. --After School Special --Heaven and Hell ++On the Head of a Pin 35 - Lazarus Rising 29 - On the Head of a Pin 25 - In the Beginning 19 - The Monster at the End of This Book 19 - It's a Terrible Life 19 - Are You There, God?

S10 Poster: https://twitter.com/TVGuideMagazine/status/506935059954536448/photo/1 Hmmmm...not fantabulous but maybe it'll grow on me.

I like your interpretation DDD but I agree with everyone else, J2 really saved this one. "I lied" is so simple and true. "I'm proud of us." conveys the message so much better -- I think there are T-shirts at this point. I hope they pay these guys well because really, I suspect they've made more than a few saves.

Exactly. And I don't feel I mourned him properly. ETA: TVLine tidbit: http://tvline.com/gallery/fall-tv-spoilers-2014-season-premieres-photos/#!40/supernatural/ Complete repeat of other stuff except the bonus spoiler -- which IMO suggests Dean strikes a bargain with Sam after Cas provides some harsh home truths.

Try this link: https://twitter.com/DR_SPN_PHD/status/506891716730040320/photo/1 My worry: Dean will NEVER be Dean again. We've heard he still has the Mark. So what species will Dean be when he gets "cured"? - Human? Won't he just die again because the Mark is too much for a human body to handle? - Not-evil demon (i.e. Cain)? - Immortal? (not Cain but not human) - Something we've never heard of yet but the writers pull out of their butt? I just don't know. But "human" seems less likely to me than something not-human. Which makes me very sad. I thought SoullessSam hunted because he LIKED it. He liked the thrill of the hunt and frankly he didn't really have anything else TO do. Plus the mystery of who brought him back was slightly important to him and apparently tied to Samuel. So... I'm thinking it seemed like a good idea at the time. As for Demon!Dean, I think he would want to hunt to kill things. Sam's good at research, probably better than Crowley. Crowley just wants him to be his lapdog and kill things Crowley wants dead. Dean won't go for that. While Sam doesn't howl at the moon, at least Sam can help him find challenging kills and things he chooses vice being at someone's bidding. Maybe he's bored with "booze & babes". And all it costs him is a little self control (like no killing humans).
