I snipped all of these and emailed them to my mom. She and my dad are fans of TWD, and she really got a kick out of it.

So they ended up only taking down one dead tree, and one live tree (same species of tree) but leaving two others in the back corner. All the other trees on the property were removed. This is what it looks like as of today: Taken from my bedroom window. Guessing all they're going to leave is the front wall facing the street/park and rebuild everything else. Because it's super important to keep the look from the street, but who cares what the back looks like. I'm just hoping they don't install "sun death-ray" windows on the back, since the afternoon sun would hit them and shine in my windows for hours.

I just found this, and stumbled into a world of Halloween window projection! Oh why didn't I find this weeks ago.... http://atmosfx.com/collections/atmosfearfx/products/phantasms I love the seductive siren and wicked wraith (the window/hollusion versions). In fact, the wraith has a scene of him flying around, grabbing up souls which look similar to how Supernatural shows them. I doubt my windows would really work for this (I have all tall, narrow windows with spacing between them), but do I really want to try!

Agree with that! So what do we know Dean is afraid of? flying (because DUH) losing Sam losing Mom becoming a demon trapped in Hell forever also what @goldy just said, having to choose between Sam and Mom

Hey I didn't say how old I was in 1974! (Ok I was 3, so yeah probably not old enough!) Got some more info from Dad, apparently we had a VW wagon shipped to Alaska when we first got there, and bought the Vega later (I do not remember the VW at all). But it also didn't have an 8-track player, so I'm thinking Mom's mixing up Gordon's album with another. It's fun writing them, and I'm glad you're enjoying it :) Although this one I had to write twice, the Intarwebz ate my write-up from yesterday which made me sad.

Mom watch update #3 She's decided to keep going with catching up, rather than watch the new episodes. She thinks she'll get them all done this week, but I doubt it. By Sunday morning she was only 2 episodes into S10, so I'm thinking maybe next week she'll be ready. Either way she'll get at least 3 new episodes to watch back-to-back, which is how she prefers them anyway. Skipped for season 8: "Heartache", "Bitten", "Hunteri Heroici", "LARP and the Real Girl", "Man's Best Friend with Benefits", "Remember the Titans", "Freaks and Geeks", "Pac-Man Fever" (after she said she really liked Charlie, I told her that LARP and Pac-Man were Charlie-centric, should she choose to watch them. She opted to skip them for now while she's catching up but come back to them later) She loves the bunker. I guess she's glad that they finally have a place to call home (I'm sure the art deco look didn't hurt, I think my whole family is suckers for art deco which might explain why I live in an art deco building LOL) Crowley getting on her last nerve this season Enjoyed "the new Bobby" (Garth) from "Southern Comfort". This was the first time she'd seen Garth, as the other two episodes he was in I had her skip. Loved Aaron and the golem (as she referred to it, "the clay hulk") Loved meeting Grandpa Winchester. Disliked Naomi and Abaddon Liked Benny, and was sad when he sacrificed himself for Sam Most surprising of all, she has the very unpopular opinion of liking Amelia. She said unlike Dean & Lisa, you could tell Sam really liked her Skipped for season 9: "Slumber Party" (she did watch this one after I described the "Oz episode" to her, she thought it sounded like fun), "Dog Dean Afternoon", "Bad Boys", "Rock and a Hard Place", "Sharp Teeth", "The Purge", "#THINMAN", "Alex Annie Alexis Ann", "Bloodlines" I started watching with her from ep9 through the end of the season She liked Kevin and was sad when Gadreel killed him Somewhere in this season she decided she liked Crowley again due to the snarkiness While watching "First Born" she said "I want a t-shirt that says 'You're good, but I'm Crowley'" and I told her there already was one. She doesn't really wear t-shirts but I might look for one as a present :) In "Captives" she wanted to know why Kevin was using the door to leave the bunker, couldn't he just go through the door. I said probably, he and his mom aren't used to him yet being a ghost. This also got us into a conversation about what object we'd be attached to. Mom immediately said my cat for me, I told her can't be a living thing, but then remembered both the ghost in "Roadkill" and Timmy's mom in "Bad Boys" were both attached to people. Corrected it to say can't be an animal, we've never seen a ghost attach to an animal or possess one (that'd be a trick, Oh Heavenly Dog trying to punch a keyboard with a pencil in its mouth). Next guess was my pink blanket that I've had since I was 5 (which is correct, and hey don't judge). For my mom I was guessing jewelry of some sort, and she said it would be her turquoise and silver ring she's had since before I was born. I smacked my head because of course it would be that ring, she always has it no matter on a trip or at home, and she wears it a lot. Her future mother-in-law got it for her on a trip to New Mexico. My dad was a lot harder, I was thinking a watch but he just got a new one, soooo I don't know. When asked, he didn't really have an answer either (and he also guessed my cat for my LOL but he got Mom's ring right) She kept referring to Metatron as "that asshole" and "liar" Every time The First Blade was on screen she kept insisting all the teeth would've fallen out In "Mother's Little Helper" she wanted to know what happened to all the other soul factories the demon claimed were operating. Told her they never found any other reports of people acting out, so didn't know where they were. I think Sam even says this at the end of the episode "Meta Fiction" had the return of Gabriel which she was not happy with. Apparently she never liked him because he was always in the way, and I pointed out that he was the one who told them about the horsemen's rings. Didn't help though When Gavin shows up, she said that he looks different now that he's alive. I said it was a different actor, and she said "well that explains it". When Crowley leaves him in the field, she said "That's it? That's all he gets? Knows how to read, but no money, no phone, nothing?" I said yup. I wouldn't be surprised if he got hit by a car the first time he tried to cross a street We got to the last episode and had to go upstairs for dinner. Before we could go, Mom said "I have to hear MY SONG" so we played through THE ROAD SO FAR for "Do You Believe in Miracles?" When we came back, we started the episode back up at the beginning so she could hear the song again. When Dean opened his eyes and they were black, she said "Oh no" in a disgusted voice. She did not want the Dean as a demon storyline Skipped for season 10: "Paper Moon", "Ask Jeeves" (plan on watching this with her), "Hibbing 911" (told her to watch this if she had some extra time), "There's No Place Like Home", "About a Boy", "Halt & Catch Fire" (best intro to the title card ever), "The Things They Carried", "Paint it Black", "Angel Heart" I had her watch "Fan Fiction" first before going into the beginning of the season, I wanted to watch it with her and didn't think we'd get through them all to get to it. The funniest part was when Dean is outside working on the car, Mom started singing the song that was playing ("Sundown" by Gordon Lightfoot). We then had to pause for 10 min while she looked up who sang the song, then she had to play me a YouTube video of it, then we had to find out when the album came out because she insisted she had an 8-track of it. I told her that I never remembered having an 8-track player anywhere, including in a car. It was released in 1974, and we were living in Alaska at the time and we had a green Vega, and I know that car did not have an 8-track. We started up the episode again without really resolving how Mom had the album. She laughed and laughed when they first go into the auditorium and the girls are rehearsing the first song from the musical; Sam's eyes just get bigger and bigger After the subtext/Destiel comments, I had to pause the episode to explain what they were referring to. Her reply was, "Oh." Laughed at poncho guy putting on his poncho in preparation, and then at all the stunned expressions after the scarecrow explodes into purple goo. Poncho guy for the win! Kept yelling "Sam stab her!" when they were in the basement Loved the ending where the camera pulls away from the car, and you see them driving off into a scene that looks very similar to the backdrop used in the musical. Also loved the car prop. She thought the girls were great singers, I told her she could get the songs online if she wanted them We then went back to start up ep1, and got through the first two before I left Dean karaoke was funny, as was the convenience store clerk. That is one of my favorite scenes; I will watch the whole episode just to get to that scene, Sam flinching every time the clerk pretends to punch someone, his snarky comments and the clerk's response She said "Awww" when Crowley was looking at his photo album of him and Dean. After Crowley got up, I said "Don't worry, he's over it now" Agreed with just about everyone on the planet that the Driving Ms Angel story was boring and needed to end She also agreed with just about everyone on the planet that the actor for the Cole storyline was too old, he looked about Dean's age. They either should've gotten a different actor, or redid the storyline so the age fit better. She also pretended to work out with Cole Again kept calling Metatron "liar" after everything he said She mentioned that it seemed in later seasons there was less figuring out new monsters and how to kill them. She refers to these as "boogedy woogedys" since she can't ever remember their names; apparently ghosts, werewolves and vampires are easy, others not so much. So she'll say "it was a boogedy woogedy episode" which always makes me laugh.

My +/- for the episode (caveats being I have only watched it once, and I have yet to read any comments on this thread. I plan to rewatch this weekend and read through everything then!): + Like the new title card. I figured it would have the Aquarian star, and it's much better than last year (although the bar was set pretty darn low) + Mary not remembering anything that happened from the time she died. Way to skirt around the issue, show. 1/2+ for Dean not only remembering what happened, but mentioning what happened with "Home" and both time trips on screen. + Dean telling her how John died, without bringing up YED or demons of any sort. Better to avoid that conversation for as long as possible (but I do want to see this addressed, on screen, at some point. Show, you brought her back, now give me some payoff) + Learning all sorts of new facts about John & Mary's relationship, condensed version. 1/2+ for showing that John wasn't always an ass, but actually spent time, sat the boys down, and told them about their mom. - Dean not having any urgency in getting back to Sam, especially if he wasn't answering the phone. They must've sat in the park for hours, if you assume it's about 2am when he first finds Mary, and later they're on the bench and it's daylight. Talk on the way, in the car! + Stopping to get Mary some actual clothes, and not making her try to wear Sam or Dean's stuff. 1/2+ for Mary commenting that she's finally out of that nightgown (made me laugh) -- Castiel not recognizing Mary (I know this was brought up a bit in the spoilers thread). Instead of asking "Who are you?", a more appropriate response would've been, "You should not be here." He saw Eve as Mary, Dean's got pics all over his room, I don't buy it. At all. I also think he should've stopped walking towards her as soon as she told him to so he didn't appear as threatening. +/- Minus for Mary calling the car "sweetheart" (she didn't seem that thrilled with it when he first brought it over), plus for her look when she was staring at the back seat and that the affection for the car had nothing to do with using the car for hunting. Sam & Piper in the back seat is one thing, but Mom & Dad??? (Take away one gold star from me for not getting it until 5 minutes later) - Plot contrivance with Castiel seeing the vet van. What on earth makes him decide that's who they need to follow? He has no idea Sam was shot and would need medical attention, nor that they would seek it in that town. +/- Minus for Dean and Castiel getting the crap kicked out of them by magic knuckles lady (remember when Cas was superbadass, I miss that). Plus for Mary sneaking up behind her and getting all stabby. Not the first time the Winchesters have been saved by someone else, Donna took off hippie vamp's head by doing the exact same thing. Avoided the "Mary, Awesome Hunter" issue (for now). - That little branch is going to hide the van? Really? -- That's what the MoL want to know? How he saved the sun? What if he had no idea? Why does she even assume that Sam would know? And they want the Hunter Network Org Chart? If I was Sam, I would've said, "Rufus Turner, he's the boss. Bobby Singer is second in command. Jo & Ellen Harvelle, Martin Creaser, Annie, Rudy all work under them. Oh wait, they're all dead." Just to piss her off. + Reminder of Sam having a high pain tolerance (The Born-Again Identity). But his poor foot! 1/2+ for not burning off the anti-possession tattoo, getting him possessed by a demon, and/or injecting him with demon blood (yet). + Remembering Jessica! ++ Badass Sam with the plan to fake suicide. Almost worked too, if he'd been able to walk he would've kicked the crap out of her. -- MUSIC. Not only the songs, but the score as well. It seemed too loud, and too distracting, which is sad because 90% of the time I love the score of the show. It felt like all new music to me as well, and really threw me out of the story. I wanted more hints of themes we've heard before. --- PACING. I thought I was watching three episodes crammed into one. Now I know what all the people who complain about "The Born-Again Identity" feel. The "Crowley searching for Lucifer" should've been delayed at least one episode or two, and have a good segue into it, like Dean & Sam recounting the apocalypse to Mom ending with "Lucifer was shoved back in the cage" (or that he escaped and the Darkness got rid of him, but we don't know if he's dead), then show Crowley looking for him. Not only that, but the scenes between the storylines jumped way too quickly. I barely got invested in one then yanked out of it into another. I went back to watch some of S10's opener, when they were separated and Sam was searching, and each story was given space to grow before switching; it didn't feel nearly so rushed. I really wanted that here, but it felt like that TPTB were trying to show too much, too quickly, just to move the story along. Overall, not bad. Good start to the season, and I'm curious to find out how this plays out next week!

To all watching tonight (since I can't post in the episode thread yet), enjoy the show! (To myself, please don't suck, please don't piss me off, and please don't make me dislike watching certain older episodes because of what happens tonight). We had a network suspension for the past two weeks (I refer to this as "embargo on"), so everyone's on tonight trying to catch up now that it's over ("embargo off"). Nothing like 5 people fighting over who gets to do their changes first!

Anyone see that "Timeless" got sued? Link: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/nbcs-timeless-hit-copyright-lawsuit-933206

Go Nats! I won't be watching anything tonight, live or not. Gotta work, lucky me!

I remember seeing that house featured on "That's Incredible" back in the day. Scared the crap out of me!

Awww you know, I didn't even remember this one until yesterday when I was going through Season 7 episodes again. If I had, I would've definitely watched this with her, I think she'd really like it, plus it's a favorite of mine. How can you go wrong with both Logan and Krycek in the same episode? I watched it again yesterday after I discovered I'd skipped it, just because. This will be on the absolute must go back and watch with her list. Mom prefers the red, but she likes both. I can't stand either! If it had been me, I would've let George eat Joyce, then behead him. As he put it, one less monster to worry about... A few other random thoughts from Mom I forgot to include: Why would Dean stay with Lisa and Ben? Mom thought Lisa was more like a good friend, than someone he was in love with. I said that I always thought it was more for Ben than Lisa (see letter in "Appointment in Samarra") but Mom didn't get that feeling either. I remember she asked me, "How much longer is Dean staying with them?" while she was watching the baby shifter episode. Season 7 Sam hair = disgusting. She said it looked greasy and sometimes like a wig. Wonder what she'll think of Season 8, especially the first episode (watched that last night too, I think the 80s were calling) She didn't buy the whole "make Lisa & Ben forget about me" part. She immediately asked "what about all those other demons that know about them?" Told her I agreed with that, just because you make them forget about Dean, doesn't mean that CROWLEY forgets about them. The last episode of Season 6, I gave her a quick overview of what was going on to make it easier to watch. She was immediately suspicious of Sam's bartender, thinking she was bad and/or a demon, until I told her otherwise. (I also spotted "Castle Storage" in the background as Sam was running into the bar for the first time) She laughed and laughed during "Slash Fiction" when Dean was lip syncing to "All Out Of Love" and Sam gives him serious side-eyes Random thought of mine, speaking of Season 6 finale. Rewatching it made me realize we do have precedent of bad-ass Sam (thinking back to the discussion on the "Red Meat" episode thread); he not only puts his pieces back together, he gets up, drives out to wherever Dean & Bobby are, manages to get the drop on Castiel and stab him in the back. Granted, he wasn't gushing blood the whole time.

Mom watch update #2 Over the weekend I watched 2/3 of season 6 and almost all of season 7 with her. I think she'll be able to get partway into season 8 by Thursday, but she doesn't know yet if she's going to watch in real time, or continue playing catch-up and then binge whichever ones she has saved on DVR. She also said she is making note of which were skipped, and wants to go back and see them at some point. I like "Yellow Fever", but I am of the unpopular opinion that I don't like "Monster Movie" at all. Since neither were super important to the overall mytharc of the season, I had her skip them. But as I said above, she does have plans to revisit all the skipped ones at some point. Another unpopular opinion, I'm not a fan of "Hollywood Babylon", BUT I'm pretty sure Mom would like this one so I'm going to make sure she watches it with me! Skipped for season 5: "Fallen Idols", "I Believe the Children Are Our Future" (I know Jesse relates to the apocalypse, but since he disappears and is never heard from again, I didn't think it was that important), "The Curious Case of Dean Winchester", "Sam, Interrupted", "Swap Meat", "99 Problems" (yes I know the ending is important, but the rest of the episode didn't make it worthwhile to get to that point, I just explained to her what happened) Season 5 comments: Dean needs to quit moping around and being angry/sad with Sam and the whole blood thing "The End" (one of my top episodes) was only so-so for her. I think she got too confused as to what was going on at first, she said sometimes it takes her half the episode (not just Supernatural, but any TV) to figure out what's happening, and because she spends so much time thinking about it, the episode is less enjoyable. If I had been there to explain it right away, I'm sure it would've helped. She liked "Swan Song" She HATED the Trickster/Gabriel. She somehow completely missed the fact in "Changing Channels" that the Trickster WAS Gabriel, and didn't know that until the Gods episode when he's called out. She kept asking me, "He's not coming back is he? Because I can't stand him." I was unable to get a clear reason as to why. Zachariah getting stabbed was a particular highlight of the season for her Pestilence was disgusting (she texted me "Slime sneezes yuck yuck yuck" while she was watching it) She really enjoyed "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Changing Channels" Skipped for season 6: "You Can't Handle the Truth", "All Dogs Go to Heaven", "Clap Your Hands If You Believe..." (gave her a choice on this one, said she'd probably like it but it doesn't relate much to the overall season, so we skipped. Definitely going to watch this with her), "Unforgiven", "Mannequin 3: The Reckoning", "My Heart Will Go On" Season 6 comments: From a text: "Yikes gramps back, Sam back, new cousins???" She really enjoyed "Two and a Half Men" with the baby shifter, I got several texts about it. Highlight I think was the name Bobby John While watching "The Third Man", she was texting me about blood boils and locusts, and somehow sent a locust one to her sister, who was then all kinds of confused wanting to know if Mom was being attacked by locusts. "Weekend at Bobby's" she was sad there wasn't more Sam & Dean (although she does like Bobby). It's funny, the last rewatch I did of this episode, I was halfway through until I realized "Hey, I've barely seen the Winchesters and I didn't even notice" because I like Bobby too (and Rufus, he's too funny: "Good, you're home, you have to help me bury a body.") "Live Free or Twihard" I knew she'd like, she's a big Twilight fan She's a big Death fan, loves it when he's on. She was sad when I told him that he ends up dying, but that some fans don't believe he is actually dead due to the circumstances so she can hold out hope! "Like a Virgin" I convinced her that the statue at Dr. Visyak's house is the same one as outside Hotel Rouge in DC. The hotel has several identical Venus statues, and back in 2007 one got stolen (and has never been found). I always find it funny that the exact same statue then shows up in this episode years later! I did look up some pics online, and there are a bunch of "modest Venus" statue models, but this one seems to be unique. Not saying that this IS the stolen statue, just an odd random coincidence.... OR IS IT?? (pics at the bottom to compare) She really liked "The French Mistake" and "Frontierland" She likes Castiel and didn't understand why Dean wouldn't support him. I pointed out that Dean never gave Cas any viable options, and how do you stop an archangel anyway? The only one we've seen dead was killed by another archangel. Could they have opened up the cage again and shoved Rafael in, or would Lucifer/Michael escape? Even though it turned out badly, I still agree with her. I think if Dean had an actual plan, or even ideas that could've been worked into a plan, Castiel would've listened. "The Man Who Knew Too Much" she agreed with me that "Hell-remembering Sam" should look a lot more messed up than he does. She kept saying "He should have burns all over", where I was thinking more like skin falling off. When Castiel tells Sam he's the one that got him out of the cage, and Sam asks if he left his soul there on purpose, Mom picked up right away that Cas sidesteps the question. Skipped for season 7: "The Girl Next Door", "Defending Your Life", "Shut Up, Dr. Phil" (I did a quick summary of all three, focusing on Amy and the witch zapping Chet), "Season Seven, Time for a Wedding!" (I originally had this on the watch list, but since I was watching with her I chose to skip it), "Adventures in Babysitting" (did watch the beginning so she could see the Bobby fallout), "Time After Time", "The Slice Girls", "Repo Man", "Party on, Garth", "Of Grave Importance" (did a quick summary of Bobby and how they finally could see him). Season 7 comments: Oh no they're going to the same hospital as the Leviathans, and did Bobby burn up? (I told her that in the next episode that we skipped, Bobby gets them out of the hospital and they go hide out at a cabin he has) Right after they torch the first sister's bones in "The Mentalists", Mom asked "What about that other sister? I don't trust her at all." Good call Mom. She thought Dean was going to turn into a zombie because he ate the sandwich, I assured her he didn't eat enough for that to happen. She agrees with Dean on the licorice. I agree with Sam (disgusting candy, UGH) Enjoyed "Plucky's", and got the 24 reference (she watched it, I did not, but even I knew about the timecode thing). She also told me the reason it was one of my favorites is because there's a unicorn in it (probably true) Sometime in the middle of watching Season 7, she asked me "Who keeps track of all of this?" meaning the lore/storyline stuff. I replied "No one" and told her the shenanigans of the Grand Canyon story from Season 8. Even MY MOM knew they had never been to the Grand Canyon. She said, "Why didn't they go to Yellowstone? They could've had farty horses in Yellowstone. Changing that is like making Sam afraid of monkeys instead of clowns." "Out with the Old" she saw the resemblance between Joyce and Meryl Streep's character in "The Devil Wears Prada". Good to know I'm not the only one. She wanted to know what happened to the other agent, since we don't see Sam & Dean behead him. Said they probably did and put the head in the safe along with the other one, but then she wanted to know what happened to the bodies. I shrugged, said sometimes you just have to go with it. When Meg reappeared, Mom said the actress looked like she'd gained weight. I said no, it's just in her face, you can tell the rest of her is just as tiny as it ever was. When I first watched "The Born-Again Identity" earlier this year, I assumed Rachel Miner had been sick, and tried to look up some info but didn't find anything and gave up pretty quick. Mom is more tenacious, and found an article written by a Supernatural fan saying she was being treated for MS at the time, and implied that fans made fun of her about her appearance? I really hope anyone who did that felt ashamed and donated to MS research. "The Girl with the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo" (last one I watched with her before I left). She really likes Charlie. I got into an explanation of how some fans felt she was a Mary Sue (had to explain what that was as well), and went into the Oz episode from season 9, talking about how she suddenly knows about 1950s computers and other things, and Mom replied "So you can watch a show with Leviathans eating people and that's cool, but her knowing about this computer is where you draw the line?" As I described more about Oz, she said it sounded like a really fun episode, so I put it back on her watch list (also listed the ones in season 8 I was going to have her skip that have Charlie in it, if she wants to watch them instead). Personally, I really like Charlie's introduction here. Looking at Season 7, I probably had her skip more than I should've (like "Girl" and "Repo"), luckily I was there watching and could fill in the holes. For the curious: first is from Hotel Rouge (Streetview, sorry for the quality), second is from the episode.

Ah you are right, that's what happens when your mind is stuck in Season 7! He reminded me of the preacher's wife in "Faith", controlling via an amulet.
