But I keep telling myself Carver is gone now, so maybe things will be different. However this Mary arc isn't looking to be too promising so far, in that I can see the set up maybe going towards Sam being convinced into following / agreeing with Mary while dismissing Dean's concerns until it all goes belly up and Dean is proven correct. While Sam is wrong. Again. And something awful happens. Again.
Oh this so much! I'm so sick of Sam making so called "bad" decisions. Lather, rinse, repeat...

I understand your logic for the potential for Cas' death but unless Misha has decided to run for public office, I'm going to put the probability at <5% that Cas dies because J2 have probably insisted on having other regulars in their contract. And while Mary might technically be capable of replacing Cas as a 'regular', Dabb and Singer aren't that stupid. But, "will Cas die?" is a FAR more plausible threat than either Sam or Dean. Which means it provides for more drama potential to threaten either him or Crowley.
And Cas can still be on the show but suffer some permanent state change that ALSO makes a major dramatic impact. I just anticipate Misha Collins will be on the show in S13.
Thanks SueB! I needed that hope!
I can see them using "Is Cas dead?" as this season's cliff hanger, but other than that, killing him off would destroy a lot of the arc, including, (and perhaps most importantly) his relationship with Dean.

Plus, John certainly had no clue she was hunting.
I have long thought that Mary's drive to get out of hunting was partially pushed by the angels meddling with her mind. "You don't want to hunt! You want to marry John and have two sons!"
I never considered that, but it could very well be true, and heartbreaking!

Thank you, @Mick Lady!
I appreciate the support. Whenever I wonder if it's worth it to keep on writing, I remind myself how much you enjoy it, and that helps.
You know I put that spider line in the last chapter, because of you, right? I know, I know... I'm a bitch. ; )
Hey Awesom, are you working on anything now? I hate to be a nag...

Hehe I like it! The community over there's smaller, but much less fanatic than the tumblr and Twitter account in my experience :) Plus it's a nice place to store my reviews of past episodes and occasional meta / thinky thoughts.
I hope I'm wrong too, but at this point I'm pretty convinced I'm not.
May I view your journal? If you okay it, can I get a link?

The reason I think we are going to lose Cas this season is that in my opinion all signs on and off show are pointing to it. Since I'm lazy I'm just going to quote something I wrote while discussing Stuck in the Middle (With You) over on Livejournal.
I haven't been on Livejournal in decades!
I see your point, especially the credit change, that's huge! I just hope you're wrong! *sigh*

Nope, my Mom was British. I drink everything, including beer with my pinky out!

Although, since I'm convinced Castiel will be dead by the end of the season I'm not really counting his display of growth as a win.
Why do you believe this? Head to S&S, I'd be devastated to lose Cas!

That was his reaction to seeing him when he appeared in season 6. In season 9 when Abbadon brought him into the present Crowley was softened up from his human blood addiction and actually seemed to care for him a bit.
Thanks DeeDee79! For some reason I blanked that out, but after reading here went back and watched that storyline. Yes I have all the DVDs!

This isn't really spoilers, but I wasn't sure where else to put it.
There will be a two or three week break after episode 15 has aired.
I wish there was a way I could "unlike" your post! No offence intended.

I think the small difference here between the current situation and the old Dean - John - Sam situation is that in the old situation, Sam was fairly certain that Dean and John would be okay. Sam always knew of Dean and John as close. So if Sam did something to make John angry / annoyed / etc. that wouldn't affect Dean and John very much. And Sam even had fairly concrete proof of this when Sam and John had the big argument and Sam left for college, because Dean and John still hunted together and appeared to remain close.
But Sam doesn't have that same luxury right now, or at least he's not looking at it that way. I think Sam is afraid that if Dean says something to scare Mary off, Mary leaves and is gone from his (Sam's) life too. So he's not just playing go between between Mary and Dean, he's trying to hold on to his own tentative relationship with Mary. Even if most of it is one-sided on his end, he's not ready to give it up.
Awesom, I'm sick of "liking" your posts, but this has sent me down a road I haven't considered. I'm going to watch this season with a whole new perspective now! Sweet!

I wasn't telling you to forget it, I was saying I had forgotten I had promised myself I wasn't getting into debates about time travel. It never ends well. Plus, with this episode, it's just not worth it, IMO.
I'm getting a kick out of your posts here Dot! I get your frustration, and I'm loving your repeating "forget it!"
Don't ever change!

I wonder if Gavin's sacrifice is foreshadowing a similar sacrifice that Mary is going to make. I wonder if she's going to go back in time to die when she was "supposed to" in order to save someone *she* loves from going down "the wrong path." I mean, what if she decides to retroactively rescue John like Gavin decided to retroactively rescued Fiona?
This whole time travel thing makes my head hurt. Mary going "back" would screw up too many events that have already happened, sort of like Bradbury's "Butterfly Effect"

I was never going to be overly interested in an episode that focused on Crowley and his family, I’ll consider it a win overall. Since I didn’t particularly care for this episode, and it covered so many different dangling plots I find it practically impossible to consider anything in detail, I’m just going to write some thoughts that occurred to me while I watched it.
Wayward Son, I love your posts, but I have finally found a point I disagree with. I love Crowley and Rowena! I'm very intrigued by Rowena's story this season, and I'm hoping for more development, especially what seems to be her growing "relationship" with Dean. I know he remembers their conversation in "Regarding Dean", and I'm waiting to see how it fleshes out.
As for Crowley, I can never guess what he is really up to, and that's just flat-out fun! Now we have him saving Cas but at the same time keeping Lucifer his prisoner. Now he knows Lucifer's child is still alive, and I'm looking forward to finding out how he's going to use this to his advantage!
Any thoughts? If you do, I'd love to here them in S&S!

When I was a kid, one of the neighborhood "thugs" stole my cat and used their dogs to kill her. I can tell you right now that I would NEVER EVER EVER have trusted any of those guys as far as I could throw them after that. There's just some things that you hold grudges for -- and IMO that you SHOULD hold grudges for, because "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me..." So I think Mary is a fool to just let Sam's torture slip by as though it teaches her nothing about the people she's dealing with.
Halt the thread! Rue, I am so sorry, that flat out sucks! Good God, how awful!

Crowley also spend a year trying to find a way to Purgatory when he had a backdoor in his own yard AND he knew how to get to Reapers to open it. When you have noone to oversee things like that, you always end up with lol!canon.
This so much! Really, someone should send these writers a link so Super-wiki!

Quick question; Didn't Crowley say of his son, "I can't stand the little bastard"? Why did he even care that Gavin was willing to die?

But if there's anything Crowley enjoys and will even work with an enemy for, it's revenge. He even went in with Dean and Sam to get revenge on Dick Roman for refusing his baby uvula muffins and saying he'd rather swim through hot garbage than work with Crowley. I can just imagine how long Crowley's been waiting to get Lucifer back for what he did to him.
I'd forgotten this, I swear Awesomo, do you live to creep me out?!
I loved this episode! Sort of a bottle, but did advance the storyline. Dabb does hate Sam and Dean, but he held himself back here.
I've become a HUGH Rowena fan, and I'm glad they're using her more. I'm glad to see Mark back. If they're going to shove Lucifer down our throat, at least be it with him.
Going to rewatch, and will post more after.

Back in the day, Richard Dawson was the host of the Family Feud, which is also the title of the episode.
OMG! I knew that, never watched it, but knew that! What a brain fart! Thanks Dot!!

He didn't exactly pay for it but he got the job with Chick for himself and Dylan that paid enough for Dylan to get the money. That was the drug run that almost got them killed which is why he beat the crap about of Chick when they got back.
Ah, thanks Truth!

I agree that her threat rang completely hollow. The thing is that Mary herself must know that she's bluffing. Even while she was doing her whole tough girl "that's not a threat, that's a promise" routine, she was handing the Colt right over. She was cooperating, and her supposed threat about "if this happens again..." made it clear that she would be working with them again, and cooperating with them again.
I do think that Mary is out of her league, but I find it hard to believe that she herself doesn't realize that. She let the BMOL throw herself and her sons to the wolves, and she obediently went right back to them -- Colt in hand -- immediately afterward. That doesn't seem to me like someone who thinks she's in control.
My best guess is that that's someone who is trying to appease the bully because she thinks that's the smartest/safest play. But honestly, I have no idea what Mary is up to. I think she knows she's playing with fire but I don't know what she thinks she's going to do or what's going to happen when she inevitably gets burned.
This is also the woman who was willing to make the deal with Azazel in the first place, disregarding the collateral damage that it could cause and I guess assuming that she'd just deal with the blowback herself when it came. I think she's probably looking at her "deal" with the BMOL the same way, and making the same mistakes.
I agree with all of this Rue! What is Mary's end-game?!
