Road trip? Devastating news? What did I miss? I thought a lot of the filming while they were supposedly riding was really poorly done. In the first scene on horseback, I'd swear that the actor playing Augie wasn't even on a horse. Also the scene where Stella has trouble with her horse going down the hill, really? A ranch girl can't ride a horse down a hill, even a steep one, without help? I want to like this show, and in most episodes there are scenes I can appreciate. Can't think of any for this one though.

He really is. I personally wish they'd tone the gooberism down a little bit. Most adults I know who work jobs with as much weight as a Texas Rangers have a lot more self-control. It's kind of necessary. Walker exhibits very little, except for maybe when he was undercover. I'm with everybody else who is tired of Stella making such stupid choices. I was surprised at how much I liked the character in the beginning when she was angry and fed up with her father. Now I just want Walker to lock her in her room until she's 21.

While I like the way this show showcases women and their capabilities, I wish Walker was occasionally allowed to be good at something. Micki does the heavy lifting in taking down the bad guys, with the exception of the time Walker lost his temper and is now in trouble for. His wife has/had the cool car and could drive stick (does the ranch have no tractors?), and she apparently was also the one who was the competent handyman, while Walker nails his hand to a board and breaks more than he fixes. Oh, and the womenfolk are also the mechanics. I mean, yay, women! But just because a woman is competent at something, doesn't mean that the man can't be as well. It's not like there's only so much competency to go around, it's not a pie.

This is the first time I have really liked Micki. It was great how she backed Walker up, and watched out for him in the bar. When she's in her uniform, she just seems so prim and proper. I do wish that flashback undercover Walker had had slightly different hair or more scruff or something, to make it easier to figure out immediately that it was a flashback. It took me a minute, especially in the karaoke bar scene with Liam to figure out if this was present day or past. Maybe I'm just slow, though.

I want to like this show. I really, really do. But - I wish they wouldn't feel obligated to have every character do something in every episode. Bouncing from Micki and Trey, to Stella and the stable guy, and August and the camera, and Abilene and the letters, and Liam and the Emily case, etc. is frustrating. If a storyline matters, then it should be given the majority of the hour, with perhaps one other storyline that intersects somehow getting the rest. What they're doing keeps EVERY storyline superficial. The only real through-line was Micki's middle name. Really? Because that's so important? I still had a hard time understanding some of the lines in this episode. They've toned down the music, thank goodness, but maybe my ears just aren't tuned to the Texas accent. In my opinion, the absolute best acting Jared did in Supernatural was when he played evil Sam (like in Born Under a Bad Sign, which he did superbly) and soulless Sam. Walker started off a man who was so tortured by the death of his wife (11 months previously) that he couldn't even stand to face his family and couldn't quite find his place with them when he did. Four episodes later, except for one line, he's apparently all over that. Now he just has breakout moments of being a jerk like when he grabbed the car radio microphone out of Micki's hand and when he called her boyfriend to get information about her when she didn't want to share. Otherwise, he's pretty unmemorable. Some of the action reads like something straight out of a young teen novel, like Stella wanting to jump on the horse to chase after the escaped mare, and the stable manager letting her do it without any firsthand knowledge of her capabilities. The whole thing seemed like a waste of minutes. I'll keep watching awhile longer in the hope that things get better, but the current format just isn't working for me.

The best episode out of the three, in my opinion.

It's possible that he did give his parents some form of legal authority. After all, his mother was apparently able to enroll them in the Catholic school, and the school had Liam down as an emergency contact.

I'm betting Liam gave August the poker set to give to Walker. Maybe August said something to Liam about wanting his Dad to focus on his living kids instead of his dead wife and Liam offered a way to help make that happen. If that just happened to be convenient for Liam, who knows? I just watched it again, and most of it is okay except for pretty much anything to do with horses. They badly need somebody horse savvy to make sure they don't say and do stupid things, although you'd really think that anybody with any common sense would question a script that had a vet say a horse might have a fracture in his leg, and then have someone galloping him all over heck and back. That's too dumb to give a pass. They also specifically said that he was a Thoroughbred, and the fastest one has ever been clocked is 44 mph. So even if this horse is sound and is the fastest in the world, how is he going to catch up with a vehicle that has a good head start and is carrying people who want to get out of there fast? That kind of crap irritates me to death.

They could have made him a nephew or something to the original one and thrown in a line somewhere that nowadays kicking people around isn't as acceptable in policing. I wonder why they didn't go that route? It was obvious they knew that watchers of the original show wouldn't be impressed.

If she was with Emily, why can't she tell Walker what happened? If she did, I missed it. I felt bad for the substitute horse. I'm used to people dying on TV, but they don't usually kill off the animals. Of course, with Texas Nightshade's leg injury, I would guess that galloping on a concrete runway plus whatever traveling they did from downtown probably didn't do him any favors either. It was funny - Jared is so tall, he made him look like a pony when he was putting the bridle on. Do Texas Rangers really have to be able to ride? That seems kind of quaint.

Absolutely agree with this. I liked it okay for a pilot. I was impressed with how distinct Walker was from Sam Winchester. I didn't see any character bleed at all. Walker is messed up, and I'm all right with that as long as there is gradual improvement and change. I thought Walker's mother was interesting; it was impressive to see her effortlessly shutting down her husband's mild criticism of Walker's daughter ("You'd better put a bell on her.") She seems to dictate what happens in that household. The one thing I really didn't care for was the character of Geri. Hopefully she grows on me or goes away. I can live with either.

Addressing the complete show as opposed to a few lines out of thousands - given the reception the final few episodes got as a whole, after how much they put into it, I wouldn't blame either of them for just walking away. At one point or another, I think that both said they thought people would like the ending. They can't change anything; it's done. And I definitely wouldn't expect them to apologise for what I expect they consider some of their best work on the show. After giving so much of their lives to Supernatural, it's just a shame it ends so ugly.

I am too. I have nothing but respect for the actors and the love and effort they put into bringing it to a good end. Even if the way they got there didn't satisfy everybody, who can be unhappy that in the final shot the brothers are finally together and at peace forever. Not me.

I thought angels were sexless? Although Castiel always kept the same vessel, a couple of the others changed from men to women or vice versa.

I didn't post that Castiel's Cat did. I don't agree with that opinion at all. I know, it was unfortunate placing of the comment on my part. I'll go back and see if it will let me fix it. Apologies!
