Not me. I'm too selfish to share Dean with anyone. Fantasizing about sexy times involving Dean and ME (I?) got me through a horrid dentist visit once.

These kinds of things irritate me no end. Why would she turn her back on him to check the fingerprint thingy? It's right up there with Sam & Dean going outside together to take a phone call and leaving Abaddon alone. LOL! I had to check the TV listings, I thought I'd tuned into The Life & Times of Nick by mistake. Of the two storylines that ran through this episode, I'm pretty sure Dean's farewell tour and welding of the box was the only one the majority of us were interested in. I'd guess even the twitter bunch that 'squee' at everything are bored to tears with Nick. Please put him out to pasture, writers. We don't care. They are trying with Mother, but the actress just does not exude warmth. And just how far did she have to go to get the fixings for the Winchester Heart Attack? Outer Mongolia? Dean welded a whole damn fancy box in her absence. But Dean... ::sigh::: And he spoke Latin ::sigh:: Plus the writers remembered that demons can conjure and levitate. It's been a while. Usually it's a regular fist fight or Sam asks them to leave. And what's with Jared's staccato way of speaking in this episode? He says a couple of words, sighs, frowns, deep breath, then a few more words. It's odd. But ... Dean... ::sigh:: I loved all the bits with Dean. Even the snoring. But they could have written this:- Mary and Dean sit at the table. Dean takes a bite of the food. Mary raises her beer and regards her son. "Happy Birthday Dean" "What?" "Today's your birthday. I think you're 40" "No way" He ponders for a moment. Looks at his watch (for the date). Then he grins "Son of a bitch, who would've figured I'd make it this far?"

I wasn't going to watch the first season last year because I thought it would just be a bunch of D Celebs vying for the camera. But I ended up enjoying it more than I thought. They actually strategized and played the game in the end. But this lot this time seem loud and brainless. Hope things improve or I won't bother.

I thought the bar 'loop' was subconscious Dean fighting against Michael. Dean would've figured it out sooner or later and started making Michael squirm all over again. And yes, signing to sell the bar could've been some kind of done deal that locked him away. It was all very cool and clever for a change. Jensen is brilliant as Michael. Thing is - they keep insinuating great evil power but then have him do stupid things. I'd rather these super beings were a bit more complex than just 'I'm going to destroy the universe'. Michael's aspirations (as well as most other celestial super powers in every TV show or movie) seem absurd and pointless sometimes. At least the Leviathans had a decent plan - they were going to sedate, fatten and then eat us. That's pretty terrifying.

It's just so intriguing to me that no one comments on Michael's choice in wardrobe. Everyone's so grim all the time. If it was Sam that was possessed and he wore the Peaky Blinder's outfit - you can bet your sweet bippy that Dean would make a comment (even if it wasn't in the script). Like when Meg (Rachel) went from auburn to blond. In the middle of the usual peril and crisis Dean couldn't help himself. His first words were "What's with the hair?"

I don't live in the States, but if a tree on the next door neighbour's property has branches that hang over the fence to my property I've always assumed I had the right to trim the overhanging branches. Of course I'd speak with the neighbour first. Good neighbours are like gold. And we've actually done this. A huge tree on the neighbour's side was causing shade and leaves on our garden. We spoke with them. We arranged for and paid to have the branches trimmed back by a tree trimmer. It was done to both our satisfactions and all was well. But I've always been of the opinion a neighbour has the right to cut back bushes or trees that hang over onto their property. JJ said no, not the law.

Thing is - this is just one writer's version of 'unfettered' Dean. Some other writer will have him needy and guilt ridden soon enough. But I believe if all was well with the world, Dean would own a bar and be content. Even when he was Demon Dean and relieved of all responsibility, he didn't chase wealth or luxury or power or even evil. He dragged Crowley around on a pub crawl and sang karaoke.

I can almost hear Dabb saying “See... I give them Michael Dean and ratings are lacklustre”. Such a shame because this was the best episode this season

The saddest thing was when Dean knew it had to be a demon possessing John Winchester because he said he was 'proud'. I have a sinking feeling that Dabb & Co are clueless about the real Dean and John relationship and that the "big publicized return plot" could be as way off track as the dreadful version of Mary we got. They seem to think the reckoning should be between Sam and Dad. But it was good soldier Dean that bore the brunt and carries the scars to this day. Sam got a childhood. Dean didn't.

I hope Nihilism receives decent ratings. It really was a step above most episodes so far this season. I'm a bit worried that some folk might've tuned in thinking they were going to see Mr and Mrs Winchester (AKA Ice Queen and Negan) and so changed channels. There was a lot of promo for the return of JDM but not very clear about the air date. Fingers crossed.

How great seeing Pamela again. I loved her. Michael is a scallywag. He can kill with a mere thought, but he toys with them because he enjoys it...and it traps him. Can you imagine his fury? So now we have a furious Michael held back by a mental screwdriver and Dean with a book that tells his one death. It’s soooo scrumptious. I wish we could lock Dabb away because he’s sure to spoil everything

Was any of this mentioned on the tv ET program? I guess they'll wait until the week the episode airs?

It's so frustrating but I don't think law enforcement will be able to do anything about anything. The law always needs proof to take action and if the brainwashed parishioners keep blabbering that it's all ok, then this is never going to happen. Unless someone can sneak in a cell phone and film the abuse and post on YouTube or somehow rig up security cameras nothing will happen no matter how many horrendous stories are told to the FBI. It's all hearsay without proof. I think it will be the IRS that finally takes this cult down. If the CO$ loses its tax exemption status that will end it all.

Leida, Debbie and Coltee all have weird eyebrows. I find it difficult to concentrate on anything else when they’re onscreen.

I don't want to hear curse words either. They are ugly and reveal character. But I'd rather hear them than the annoying bleeping. Maybe instead of the bleep they could silence the sound and put a red X over the mouth? Better still, why does everyone curse so much these days? Curse words (F bombs, etc.) used to be reserved to indicate anger and frustration. Now they're included in everyday speech along with the other annoyance... the word 'like' every two seconds. What is happening to our language?

I lay awake all last night wondering why Asuelo had a band-aid on one nipple? Does anyone know? This is probably an unpopular opinion - and I'm not one to drop F bombs unless I stub my toe - but the constant beeping on shows these days drives me up the wall. I see their lips, I hear the word in my head - I know what they're saying. So what's the point? I think the beeping should stop (except for C U next Tuesday - that's just nasty) and let the F bombs fall where they may. (After 9pm maybe?) Karma is a real thing which Eric will learn as times goes by. Leida is a hard-as-nails bitch and the man's gonna suffer. He's already aging before our eyes. I don't know where the mother is in all this, but does Tasha have a job, a safe place to to live? It's not an easy world out there and it doesn't look like she's had any post-secondary. You don't just wash your hands of a child because they turned 18. You never stop being a parent. You make sure they're able to survive safely and happily. I felt so sad for her. Hope the mother is involved with her daughters, cause dad won't be allowed to. Surprisingly Coltee and Larissa were just background noise for the second part of this tell-all. I doubt Larissa will be deported. I don't live in the US, but where I live you can be illegal and rob a bank and still not be deported. I send best wishes to Ashley for a speedy recovery, but she is a fool. Jay doesn't love her and never will. Her life is going to be difficult if she just keeps picking the wrong man for the wrong reasons. She needs therapy or a life coach or something (not scooter girl). For some odd reason Fern was indulged and elevated to levels of sympathy and compassion she did not deserve. Let's all look superior and gang up on Larissa (because she shouts). Steven came off as mature and I'm gob-smacked. The host of the show let everyone off way too easily.

Why do they keep going off on tangents with these side stories when the main story of the season has hardly been touched.

Love the I'm Dangerous video. I remember when Dean was badass. I remember there used to be a saying that monsters check under their bed for Dean Winchester. LOL. No action shots from recent seasons you'll notice.

Everything about this scene with Dean and Billie!Death is perfection. Lighting, music, scenery, mood, writing, and above all - exquisite and masterful acting. My opinion is that this scene is a masterpiece and contains some of the greatest footage ever captured for this show. Jensen had better win a Big Award some day... or the world is damn crazy . (And they locked Dabb out of the editing room.... so we got the whole thing, no interruptions.)

Off topic but I always thought English was one of the easier languages. The verbs, for instance, are a breeze. Although there is this poem... Dearest creature in creation, Study English pronunciation. I will teach you in my verse Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse. I will keep you, Suzy, busy, Make your head with heat grow dizzy. Tear in eye, your dress will tear. So shall I! Oh hear my prayer. Just compare heart, beard, and heard, Dies and diet, lord and word, Sword and sward, retain and Britain. (Mind the latter, how it's written.) Now I surely will not plague you With such words as plaque and ague. But be careful how you speak: Say break and steak, but bleak and streak; Cloven, oven, how and low, Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe. Hear me say, devoid of trickery, Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore, Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles, Exiles, similes, and reviles; Scholar, vicar, and cigar, Solar, mica, war and far; One, anemone, Balmoral, Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel; Gertrude, German, wind and mind, Scene, Melpomene, mankind. Billet does not rhyme with ballet, Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet. Blood and flood are not like food, Nor is mould like should and would. Viscous, viscount, load and broad, Toward, to forward, to reward. And your pronunciation's OK When you correctly say croquet, Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve, Friend and fiend, alive and live. Ivy, privy, famous; clamour And enamour rhyme with hammer. River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb, Doll and roll and some and home. Stranger does not rhyme with anger, Neither does devour with clangour. Souls but foul, haunt but aunt, Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant, Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger, And then singer, ginger, linger, Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge, Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age. Query does not rhyme with very, Nor does fury sound like bury. Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth. Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath. Though the differences seem little, We say actual but victual. Refer does not rhyme with deafer. Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer. Mint, pint, senate and sedate; Dull, bull, and George ate late. Scenic, Arabic, Pacific, Science, conscience, scientific. Liberty, library, heave and heaven, Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven. We say hallowed, but allowed, People, leopard, towed, but vowed. Mark the differences, moreover, Between mover, cover, clover; Leeches, breeches, wise, precise, Chalice, but police and lice; Camel, constable, unstable, Principle, disciple, label. Petal, panel, and canal, Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal. Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair, Senator, spectator, mayor. Tour, but our and succour, four. Gas, alas, and Arkansas. Sea, idea, Korea, area, Psalm, Maria, but malaria. Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean. Doctrine, turpentine, marine. Compare alien with Italian, Dandelion and battalion. Sally with ally, yea, ye, Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key. Say aver, but ever, fever, Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver. Heron, granary, canary. Crevice and device and aerie. Face, but preface, not efface. Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass. Large, but target, gin, give, verging, Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging. Ear, but earn and wear and tear Do not rhyme with here but ere. Seven is right, but so is even, Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen, Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk, Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work. Pronunciation — think of Psyche! Is a paling stout and spikey? Won't it make you lose your wits, Writing groats and saying grits? It's a dark abyss or tunnel: Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale, Islington and Isle of Wight, Housewife, verdict and indict. Finally, which rhymes with enough — Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough? Hiccough has the sound of cup. My advice is to give up!!!*

Re-watching this episode last night it really hit me just how ridiculous it was. Why didn't Michael kill Sam and Jack at the post office? Why didn't Dean follow up with a death stab at momentarily distracted Michael instead of pulling back and saying 'that'll leave a scar'? When an all powerful evil entity is inserted into a story with two human stars of the show it all just gets stupid and frustrating. I hope season 15 returns to saving people, hunting things... you know, the family business.

These 600 pounders must have awesome gallbladders. All that fat and stodge and they don't seem to suffer at all.

I had to smile at the attractive older lady Registrar (or something) when she said she slept, watched TV, slept, watched TV when she escaped. I wonder what she watched? Most TV is dreadful. I felt bad for the wife of the first couple that spoke. Her husband (probably a lovely man) but he seemed the type of personality that is easily led. Now they're in the hole for a thousands. Is law enforcement, the IRS and occupational health and safety departments watching this show? Will any action ever be taken? There seems to be enough evidence for a full investigation on what goes on behind the fences.

It’s getting more and more frustrating to watch this show each week.

There surely will be a scene of Michael watching Peaky Blinders and then clothes shopping...
