There is no doubt they will finish the episodes--all involved want to and Jared's WALKER is on the CW...he certainly wants to as does the CW. They'll find a work around. All the guys want to finish it. Absolutely will be done as we all will eventually see.

So since they announced tonight's episode will be last shown for now--because of sound and FX issues not being able to be done for the rest already filmed...we could have last 7 shown together. Because none of these last 7 can get done completely before restrictions are lifted. And yes--we'll end up getting the last 2.

Can't tell by the pics but will we finally get Cas and Jody in the same scene next episode--it'll be about time!

Yeah sounds like either at least 1 of the 4 regulars will either die or be permanently separated. I long thought maybe Cas dies...he seems the most likely. BUT something ALEX said in VEGAS makes me think maybe Cas lives...he was asked what his ideal end for Jack would be--he joked Jack getting a sequel set in Hawaii hanging with Cas wearing only a trenchcoat. I'm thinking Alex let slip out Jack and Cas lives with his joke--and are together. The sad part might be Cas is separated from his 2 closest friends--Dean and Sam. Just a possible guess. Alex also said his favorite scene was in the finale...hmm. Actors usually love when they have a big emotional often tragic scene.

Also i'll defend Cas--I think it's fine if he and Dean bump heads OR if Dean and Sam bump heads...because I like all of them and just don't watch for one character. None of them are Mary Sues and don't need to be kissed in the butt all the times. They are all heroes and they are all complex. That said Dean will always be my favorite even if he's not always right or perfect.

I thought forever that the ending will be Jack's paradise world that Cas saw--it is looking like that even more to me. I see some others are thinking that now. And it popped in my head how it might happen--jibbing with Misha saying about the Cas ending that it's really, really sad plus Jared saying it'a version of peace for the boys...however they kill and replace Chuck with Jack, I think the boys will become separate from Cas. I'm thinking MAYBE the Universe changes and the boys either forget about Heaven and Hell and Monsters and CAS OR all non-humans are separated forever from humans. Either way the sad thing for Cas is he's separated from the Winchesters. I think the boys will not have to face monsters but humanity will be free of them--maybe some angels led by Cas will mop up stragglers.

I'll give the episode a 7--like others i'd rather the boys be bad ass BUT I find it a nice light episode. I DO NOT think at all this episode destroys Dean and Sam from the beginning. It simply means the boys are NOT self-creating...they were especially made to be great heroes--why the cupids specifically set up their family lines. Subtracting their greatness shows the greatness they were born with.

With regards to Cas--it's Cas, they are just butching Cas up...more like old days. Which is good. Despite bumping heads he and Dean are fine--just bros bumping heads for a while...thru the years at time one is right, at others times the other...a bit gray overall. In the end they will stay best buds. About a happy ending--I think that can work...the boys keep trying to get off the hamster wheel of new threats season after season. Defeating Chuck can free them of that.

DJ Qualls being interviewed--seems like this episode is likely the goodbye to Garth. By how DJ talks about it...i'm almost 100% sure Garth ends the show alive. Good--I like Garth.

That's great news--thanks for the info!

I read a review of the last episode which stated when Sam let go of the orb and Chuck smashed the orb at the end--he freed Cas of the Mark. I'll have to watch it again because i'm fuzzy on that point. Is this true--is Cas free of the Mark now? I'd be super pissed if they had Cas go mad from the Mark in the end and get all boxed up.

Yes Cas apologized both of them were hurt at various points and banging heads. In the end they both apologized for the hurt on both sides. Dean end ups stating the obvious--Cas is his best friend...it's stated clearly by Dean.

Well we'll find out soon enough.

Eh, the interview was fine. Don't think Dabb was saying only Sam was God-like, it's clear to me Dean would be included in that statement if he was in that part with Sam. Also don't think the episode will only be the Sam part--the Dean and Cas part will be significant too.

Good for Jared--I have no doubts he will still go all finishing his filming with SPN.

PS--i'm probably mistaken since i'm not counting weekends! So your probably right. They'd be almost done then.

Edited--because you're probably right.

There is a SXSW Festival in Austin that is having a panel for a SUPERNATURAL retrospective--with Jensen, Jared and Misha with hosts Alice Jester and Samantha Highfill...the date isn't set but the Festival is between March 13-22. Should be great. It might be right after they finish filming if i'm not mistaken.

I'm all for another flashback episode--I think they can pull it off. I enjoy those.

Maybe that means Garth will be in an episode around then.

Yeah, I didn't think he would miss any days--very cool!

I personally never understood this part of Dean fandom--I don't think the show has picked on Dean and put Sam, Cas and/or Jack above him. At times all 4 have been shown wrong or right or often all sides have a point. Don't see it as just pick on Dean--I see it as pretty even overall among the main characters...in fact you can argue Dean is shown to be right most of the time. All 3 Team Free Will characters bump heads at times in brother like fashion but in the end pull together and they have all apologized to each other thru the years...and to me that hasn't been weighted toward or against any one specific character. At least how I have seen the show--to be clear I view it liking all 3 heroes with Dean as my favorite edging out the other two.

I'm no Destiel fan(nothing against it either) so I wasn't expecting that--with regard to Dean's direction...lets hope he gets a good one.

Well the press release says Dean and Cas are working together--so that's probably more accurate than a spoiler tumblr--we'll see. Maybe they are together to begin with but separate when Dean prays to Cas. I suspect Cas will be in the episode his normal amount. You are probably right about Chuck getting full powered--seems about the right time for that. About being Monster-Free I personally don't see that as lolli-pop land--life still won't be all puppy dogs and cuddles but the boys can finally be free of the bloody battles and death...just have a life with all its bumps and bruises but without all the overwhelming evil. I do agree Dean needs a good ending in this scenario which I think is quite possible--but too soon to say what that end would be...so can't say if I won't like it or not. PS--what is the name of the new spoiler Tumblr?

Was watching Most Holy Man on TNT which was written by both Dabb and Singer--and it struck me the final convo between Dean and Sam is giving us the end of the series. In the end they get the vial of blood from the holy man AND Dean was happy about but Sam was down and asked Dean basically are we ever going free of monsters. Mind you this was written by both show runners in season 13 and we also have gotten this wish from the brothers at other times too. I see that we get free of monsters which gives the story finality and gives the boys their version of peace. Some think this may be lame or cheesy but I see that outcome is a good end--ending all the bad and freeing the boys to have peace and a life. And if they ever want to do a movie--something could go wrong and they have to be called into action to fix things again.
