Lemuria

To me, this totally reads like a piece of Sam fan fiction. The only one who appears to do anything or get anything is Sam. Dean dies doing what, exactly? Who knows--it doesn't seem to be important. Where's Jack? (And if Nougat Kid is this unimportant, why was he wrecking the show for three years?) Where's Michael and Lucifer? Where's Amara? Sam can't bring Dean back from Heaven because...reasons, but Bobby and Charlie can come back? And Jessica comes back for no reason except to be really cruel to her because Sam has moved on (well, he already did for the dyspeptic drunken veterinarian) but it's probably her fault since she apparently never celebrated his birthday, if we are to believe the flashbacks in Season 8. Or maybe the show intends to end with a menage a trois. Sam the God Killer clearly deserves more than one woman. While Dean just drives endlessly around Heaven. Tooling down an empty road in your Baby may be great for an afternoon but for all eternity? And which episode was it in season 1 where Dean drove off by himself into the sunset just to enjoy himself? I call "feh"to this.

You're probably right (because I'm always wrong in my speculations! 😉) but I thought if that just referred to Billie, they'd say "Death," since she's no longer a reaper. I thought that might actually be later in the ep, that they've killed Billie but recognize that they have to have a Death, and so they need to kill a reaper to get a replacement. Which really is a way too complicated a thought for that line! 😊

Another interview with Emily Swallow, this one on Hypable. I thought it was interesting. She also says nice things about the set in general and about Jensen and Rob in particular. And about Dean and Amara, natch! 😃

I have issues with a number of things Kripke has done but I have to defend him here. Kripke never called Dean a dick in the episode. A segment of the fandom did, riding on a particularly nasty comment that Sam made early in the episode--I still remember the recapper on TWoP basically saying (yes, I"m paraphrasing badly; it was a long time ago!) "Aw, isn't that sweet? Sam is behaving like a dick so he can join his brother." The episode made it clear later on that it was people who had instilled fear in others who got infected, something we didn't know about--and I believe that Dean didn't remember until he met "Lilith" at the end of this episode--until later. Kripke was clarifying the episode for those who--I thought--were just taking an opportunity to dump on Dean.

I liked her, too. You know who else I could see? Carmen. It's just too bad she wasn't real 😀

Of course they did. Jack is the Shining Profiterole given form and flesh after all, right?

Thanks! I think he just thought his original comment was funny only to find that after 3 years of Dabbernatural, it went over in some circles like the proverbial lead balloon.

May I ask what tweet this was? Did he tweet something after that one about who'd they vote for and why?

Can you direct me to where the photos can be found? Thanks

Which, by the way, neither Sam nor Bobby had the brains to actually close. They just walk away and the camera pans back to show us that it's open. (Why the show did that, I have no clue, since it never went anywhere.)

I apologize if this was already hashed out (I can't remember; I plead age!) but this episode was unbelievably unbelievable. In The Mandalorian, I didn't have a problem with Carasynthia Dune fighting Mando to a standstill because Gina Carrano is built like a tank. I did have a problem buying that the not-particularly large or muscular teenage girl could drag those other people around to a secret lair (then again, just exactly how did Becky get unconscious Sam up to her cabin? She drove a crane up instead of her car?). Then she builds that finger-cutting device (unless there's a hidden shelf at Home Depot) and ties it into the a TV timer. So a mechanical whiz and a tech genius. Really? They don't even try anymore.

And when he was sick she made him tomato soup and sang to him.

But Terese, that’s perfect! Now you qualify to write for the show, just like what’s-her-name. 😉

And why didn't Cas say, "That's the plan??!! We tried that already and it didn't work. And Billie knows that! You're not doing that, Jack."

No lie about that. The only think I liked about that scene was that Dean didn't just accept it and he didn't back down. He told the Darkness off. PS I did like the poor, bored crossroads demon. They should have taken him along! He would have been more interesting than either Cas or Jack

It's bothersome that they never mature Jack. He may be "three" chronologically but he was born with an adult brain and (presumably) comprehension. And adults can learn a lot in three years but Jack still wanders around looking as if he grasps and understands nothing. And why do we need someone with supernatural power to carry this bomb, when Dean could carry it and set it off? (Not that I think any longer that Jack is all that powerful: wood nymphs aren't generally considered powerhouses of the supernatural world. Not that these writers know how to actually have the show match the tell.

It's Dr. Sexy. I always like Steve Bacic. As for the rest...Really, Show? That was bad. And it was the same idiot bomb plan that didn't work last time because Amara could sense the bomb. Now there's Amara and Chuck, who can both sense it.

Was it also "in character" for Sam, who was standing there, heard what she said and didn't open his mouth? Aren't we always being told that he's the smart one? (And maybe, since Dean really is smart, he knew exactly what that meant--since they'd already learned that Chuck was wiping out the universes--the same way we did and felt no need to hear the bad news a second time.)

I had some quibbles (and one Jack the Savior big issue)--such as Sam=researching, Dean=apron--but this wasn't one of them. Maybe I'm reading too much into the scene and into Dean's look, but it came across to me not that Dean was sad or longing just for the sandwich but more for what it represented: a moment in time when for a while, some things went their way; when they laughed and had fun and celebrated holidays in a way they perhaps never had; when there was someone who took care of them (especially important, IMO, for Dean). And sad because he should have known that things like this never really happen to them.

Can I like this 1000x? Like you, I found the episode enjoyable--if mostly forgettable--until we again have to get Jack the Savior And The Character Who Ate The Show. WAIT! She said that she was able to concoct, magically or otherwise, smoothies that basically took away Jack's power. Would there be a way to do that to Chuck? After all, Jack is supposed to be powerful enough to take Chuck on and win.

I thought that initially, too, but I then I remembered that Henry never made it to final initiation and only full members were in that photo.

Yep, all the other dimensions/alternate realities have been destroyed.

I wonder who the were

They need to fire that sculptor! 😄

I remember thinking (when Sam got all annoyed and "How many times did I tell you to stop ironing my shirts with beer"--or words to that effect), "Gee, Sam, maybe this wouldn't happen if you--oh, I don't know--ironed your own d*!n shirts. I'm just saying."
