  1. Does anyone know if Jensen has anything in the works that isn't voice work? I don't know if he gets asked that question at the various cons.
  2. A very interesting question. If the series ended with Swan Song (thus the title), as filmed but without Sam standing under the street light, it would just be the opposite of Carry On, with the brother who survived being the one who died in the other episode, and going on to live a family life. Still unsatisfying IMO. There really should have been only one of two endings: 1. Both brothers dying together while fighting the good fight Butch & Sundance style or 2. Continuing to live in the bunker and either continuing hunting or training and supporting new younger hunters. Unfortunately, I believe that the finale we got was horrible along with the two previous seasons that preceded it. The entire concept of "Chuck" being God and literally "writing" their lives was quite frankly, crap. It went against everything the brothers believed or accomplished and sacrificed for during their lives. But if Dabb wanted to make a joke out of all they went through, he accomplished his mission with this viewer. So, I guess my answer is that at least Swan Song had Sam's death as a sacrifice to save the world with Dean there to support him and also make the sacrifice of losing his brother for the greater good. And both choices were then truly free will.
  3. I mentioned elsewhere in the forum that I was very impressed with Curtis when he appeared at a ChiCon. He told us how he looked into the intentions of the character before he could formulate how he would play him. (knowing it was an ongoing part) And that he loved the character!!! Too bad our writers took less interest in how they portrayed our characters than he did in his new role.
  4. One of my favorite Dean scenes in this one: "Bite me!". "Phoenix ash. One shell, one ounce of whiskey down the hatch; a little musty on the afterburn." Absolutely classic scene. Love me some smart Dean. There was a lot of conversation around about the many "mini arcs" in this season. Apparently, Soulless Sam was supposed to last longer, so I think it was back to the think tank flesh out the season.
  5. Who doesn't love a Clint Eastwood serape in a spaghetti western? I enjoyed the episode for its costumes if nothing else. BTW, did you know that Clint Eastwood's name is an anagram of OLD WEST ACTION?
  6. Do find a way to see "Wrath of Khan" - IMO it's the best of the original Star Trek movies with "Save the Whales" a close second. I agree about the end of the episode - it's a real heart breaker softened with Dean's forgiving words, great Ackting, and beautiful photography.
  7. One of my favorites. I thought that the transitions of Sam/Jody and Dean/Eliot scenes were very, very well done. Yes, the ending was abrupt, but many of Supernatural's episodes end in an abrupt and strange way. Like you, I thought that all the characters were excellent in their interactions with our boys. Unlike you, I always thought that Nicholas Lea was hot in the X-Files - a character you loved to hate - in fact, I always hoped they'd give him more screen time. He did get a fitting end, though!
  8. This is one I've never cared about and haven't watched when going through a re-watch. I really enjoyed it. Of course, it always is a matter of taste whether we like an episode or not. I think there are four or five episodes coming up that I look forward to re-watching all the time.
  9. I don't know, it was hard to say. The writing was all over the board. The only consistent traits that I saw were that he was only interested in himself, and his hunt/mission. Anything or anyone that got in his way was ignored or dealt with. Remember the girl in the finale that was "helping" him and it turned out that she was once a hostage of the demon he wanted to kill, so he just shot her so the demon didn't have any leverage? That's cold!!! Also, he was willing to kill Bobby to keep his soul out because he was concerned about his own well-being. Those are pretty negative and destructive emotions to me.
  10. Welcome back @MagnusHex. I thought maybe you gave up on watching or posting about the episodes. I always enjoy reading your posts. This was not one of my favorites. The whole Soulless Sam screws every woman in sight was just yuk for me. Add to that-spiders! Double yuk. However, Sam's memories about working with Gramps were important. All in all a forgettable episode for me. But I'm glad you enjoyed it more than I.
  11. Whatever the outcome - Jensen remains, but not in a few scenes or is replaced completely - unless Jensen has a positive reason for the change, we'll never know. Jensen usually only discusses business when it doesn't reflect negatively on anyone. Actually, that's one of the reasons that I was so surprised when he spoke negatively about the filming of the fight scene in the finale of S13 and that he didn't like the series finale. He probably had reached his limit with that bunch at the time.
  12. As it should be. From Jensen's deposition with the police, he noted that she was young, inexperienced, and a little cocky. It would have been setting a horrible precedent to accuse actors for such gun-related accidents. I think Jensen is smart to always check his gun - but that only protects others on set, not him.
  13. I always liked this episode. The scene with Dean attempting to pull the sword from the concrete - complete with the music - is hysterical. Yes, the "dragons" were forgettable to be sure. But I thought that the episode flowed very well and surprise! we got a humble Sam who was so sorry for what he did while soulless toward the end.
