    Do we know each other?!!! I have a chronic cough (8 years now, and honestly, it's not habit). 

    Same here, chronic cough since September, I think it's that 1960s favorite, post-nasal drip. Got the evil eye at the grocery today myself. Happy to hear I'm not the only one!

    If this goes a couple of months and with people having other commitments like Walker...they might not be able to end this.

    You know, this may not be such a bad thing, given the quality of writing this season. No one seems to be thrilled with what we've heard about Dabb's finale. Hopefully they haven't finished filming the Eugenie Ross-Leming & Brad Buckner ep.

    I think based on Jensen 's comments he's the one that made the call and ran point on pulling the plug as well as broaching differences of opinion with the writing when they came up. We know he tried to get guest writers for this season so the show could go out on a high note and did other things that resulted in script changes

    Do we know any of this? Pulling the plug has always been presented as a joint Jared and Jensen decision. I mean, Jared quickly found another role as if he were planning to be free next year. I’ve read lots of speculation about people’s influence on the writers, but I’ve never heard that Jensen or Jared had any real influence on the last season’s writing.

    Essentially Jensen said this season the show has no music budget - it's in the toilet. And that's because the arm of WB who used to kick in every year for music didn't this year. I'm guessing probably because it's the last season and WB feels it's money is better spent on other projects. So if it feels like the budget has been slashed, that's because it has.

    That may be what Jensen heard, but the music was crappy seasons 13 and 14 too. CW or WB must have cut the budget for music a couple years ago, I doubt it has anything to do with this being the last season. In fact, the last season should be when they splurge.

    My only question is why the guys didn't become involved like they said they wanted to in order to insure the final season was about the brothers and that there was some justice done to the story? Did they say that before talking to Dabb and Singer, and those guys told then to go to hell? Did they decide before it all started that they really didn't give a damn after all? What happened there?

    This part bothers me too. Sometimes I wish J2 weren't such good team players.

    Expect a "best of" parade of characters from the horror series' long history.  "We want to pay off every character we can that viewers have either come to love or hate,"

    UGH!! I see that as a bad, bad sign that old characters are just going to be plopped into episodes with no rhyme or reason.

    Casey clearly posted it because she thought it was funny. Then the comments come back vicious.  My prediction: by taping that poll to their door, the writers are not remotely chastened by this feedback.  In fact, I expect them to double down.  I don’t blame them. 

    I need a lot more context than you provide and can't really find any on Twitter. On the face of it, I read the photo and comment as more snotty/snarky than funny.

    "writing was on the wall" and it was time to put "the dog down"

    I can't remember if the quotes are from Jensen or Jared or both, but that right there sounds like they were unhappy with the show - whether it was the showrunner or the writing.

  9. From another thread, quoting Kripke:

    Quote

    “But I would love to talk to them about the finale. … Just from hearing from the fans, I at least want to have a couple of conversations with those guys and make sure that we send Sam and Dean off into the sunset in a way that makes everybody happy.”

    Sounds to me like he's as worried as us about what Singer & Dabb will do to the Winchesters in the finale.

    Especially Claire.  Apparently Kathryn is lobbying to bring back her "fan favorite" character.

    ICK!! I'm sorry I even read that! She's so friendly with Reese etc, I'm surprised she cares about Supernatural.

    I loved everything about Big Little Lies, except the scenes with Kathryn Newton. Every time she does that pouty face I want to smack her!

    Sorry, got carried away.

    I need Jared to eat more now.  He must have the metabolism that is out of this world.  And stop running marathons.  Meat on bones.

    That's what runners look like: there's plenty of meat on his bone (hur, hur) just no fat. He looks great to me, except his beard is getting too full. 😉

    Edit to add: and Gen is beautiful as always

  12. I'm not crying, I'll save that for the last few episodes of s. 15.

    I am relieved that J2 have pulled the plug. I watched seasons 1-2 ahead of the 300th episode and was so, so, so disappointed with what Dabb and Singer did. Even with Jeffrey Dean Morgan it was obvious to me that Jared and Jensen are the only ones who care about the quality of the show. The creative team are just crap and have been for a couple years; it's embarrassing to watch. [Carver please come back, I'm sorry about all those things I thought about you!!!]

    My only hope is that CW will give them the budget to create something memorable in S. 15.

    ETA:  I can never understand the difference between affect and effect

    My rule of thumb is that usually**, "effect" is a noun and "affect" is a verb.

    ** Psychologists use "affect" as a noun to describe a person's feeling or emotion.
