Maybe but Celebs use Twitter to promote themselves and, their work. So I wouldn't write off Soldier Boy making an appearance or 2 in S4. That being said, if he does appear I would expect flashbacks if it's early in the season.
I'm going to predict that we'll see him escape the cryo chamber early in S4.
We might not get more than that until possibly the end of the season when Kripke will use him again to promote S5-wherein and when we'll hopefully get to see a lot more of him.
"Free Soldier Boy" has been reverberating through the social media platforms time and time again since the S3 finale.
And honestly. I don't think Kripke would waste the opportunity to address that type and amount of fandom interest.
Here's to hoping...🥰🤞

I believe he was spotted in Virginia most recently.

Scheduling conflict could be code for I don't need to be associated with this movie thanks.
Or it could be he had a genuine scheduling conflict, no "coding" necessary.

When I clicked on the link to the THR article, this passage was in it: "Actor Josh Hopkins has replaced the character who was played by Jensen Ackles, who departed the project due to a scheduling conflict."
No idea if they mean just for some pick-up shoots or wholesale.
I'm way more intrigued by the scheduling conflict.
They probably just needed a stand-in for a few last shots and likely from the back or his character might even die at the end.
I very much doubt that they re-shot any of Jensen's original scenes, but yes!-I am also far more interested in what the scheduling conflict might have been/be.

Okay I don't know if this has been posted anywhere yet but here is Jensen's interrogation by police on the Rust incident...
It somehow seems wrong to me on more than one level that this was posted on YouTube.
Am I the only one who feels this way?
I didn't watch it.

There are so many people complaining that it is a fanfic by Jensen to boost his ego.
I haven't seen this at all, but I can well guess where it's coming from if it's out there, and again, if it's so, I hope a reboot never happens.

Jack is still a naive tool. "I wanted no meddling so mankind would be free to make its own choices." What choices could they make once they were all destroyed by Chuck`s final booby trap, you yokel?
That is the exact kind of situation an actual benevolent God should step in. Well, since the guy can`t be counted on, the multiverse has a Dean instead.
I`m happy to get something meaningful for him one last time. And that he may have given this world`s version of his family a shot of freedom and happiness. He clearly enjoyed that. Even though he clearly also didn`t enjoy his going back to heaven. Read the room, Jack, there is no "peace when you are done" because Dean doesn`t feel done and doesn`t want that kind of peace at the moment.
Now I still think the ending of SPN was super-badly done as in how the story was done and executed but it does recontextualize Dean`s part somewhat in terms of personal and professional legacy. Beats the hell out of the uselessly driving around. And hey, if he did it once, it opens the possibility of doing it again.
Not much time, but this post reflects my feelings too and for the most part.
I was very, very happy watching this finale which I also agree fixed the biggest problem for me with the mothership's finale and last couple of seasons by restoring Dean's innate hunting skills and skillset to the level that lets the viewers know that Dean Winchester was not who he was because of a God who was just really a hack writer with supernatural powers.
It restored the importance of hunters to not just our world, but to the multiverse(which is even better!) AND, most importantly, gave Dean the legacy that he so deserved and that was so lacking in the mothership's finale.
And this series also gave us some incredibly likable/lovable characters of it's own-no small feat that, especially considering that two of those characters(Mary and John)were two of my least favorites from the mothership.
So huge kudos to Jensen and Robbie and co.(and especially the new cast!) for this season and it's finale, which was everything this viewer hoped it would be and then some.
I truly hope it's not the last season and that it will be renewed for a S2-or better yet, find it's way to another/better platform than the CW.
I can't end this without mentioning the music in this finale.
Another huge kudos to the team for that(and especially to whomever it was who was able to procure Led Zeppelin's Ramble On!)-So. Awesome.

Wow! Do you think Jensen would develop an entire series, sell it as the epic love story of John and Mary, put together a group of young actors tell them this is your show, parade them around as the stars and convince Robbie to go along with it in order to rewrite the finale of Supernatural just to please Dean fans and stroke his own ego?
I don't think that this show was developed with the thought that it would be a one and done season or even that it was predominantly or solely made to pave the way for a reboot of the mothership.
I think that for Jensen it's a passion project that he(and Robbie Thompson and all the cast) hoped would have only started with the epic love story of John and Mary.
I further think that they still and continue to feel that there's a ton of story potential in this universe and that the project is a passion project for him because he loved and still loves the Supernatural universe and it's many and varied characters and, most of all and above all others, Dean Winchester-the character that he put every fiber of his being into for 15 years and who he possibly and likely felt deserved a better ending/fate than the one that he who shall not be named here tried to give the character and the mothership as a whole.
I truly think that this show was meant by Jensen to be a continuation of the Supernatural universe and it's characters only with different storytellers and a showrunner.
That he and RT are choosing to honor Dean with(in their opinions AND in the opinions of many others in the fandom)a more suitable and heroic storyline within this world than the last showrunner on the mothership's ever did, is in no way egotistical or biased or partisan.
It's only fair, IMO.
And big kudos and thanks to all involved in this show, if that's where the rest of The Winchesters takes us, no matter how long it lasts and whether it's renewed or not after this season.
ETA: Seems like we were posting at just about the same time, Lastcall. 🙃

The Akrida are proving to be a pretty insidious and intelligent baddie.
Loving that.
I watched last night and the gal who plays Roxy is yet another great addition to this cast. Bravo!
That story continues to intrigue me greatly-and adding Dean into the mix(and wonder of wonders, at the center of it, even with just that picture of him!), makes it even more clever and intriguing, AFAIC. Bravo again, writers!
And that ending.
Wow.
And having that MOL side story in there fleshed out things a little more, too, while reminding us , as per the mothership, that not all the MOLs had their heads screwed on right.
This one was a very tightly written episode, IMO, and I'm looking forward to the last three with even more and greater anticipation after watching it. 👏

I read that someone "in the know" said this series was only meant to go one season. Maybe with the possibility of setting up a reboot of Supernatural.
Heh.
It seems to me that everyone and anyone out there who's described as or claims to be "in the know", is rarely that.
This sounds more like fandom wishful thinking to me.
JMO, of course.
To keep it on topic...
I haven't been able to watch the episode yet. RL has been nuts, but I saw some scenes that left me pretty much stunned and speechless.
Tomorrow morning, for sure.
Can't wait!

Wow!
This one was great!!
And that ending!!!
Nothing would make me happier than to discover that Dean is on a heavenly mlssion from the new God to save all of Creation once again.
Even if they cancelled this show after just one season, I could be happy with that kind of an ending and the best part for me would be that AFAIC, Dabb could choke on the one that he tried to pawn off on us.

I loved the Big Sky finale and have watched it three times.
The open ending for Jenny and Beau made me so happy.
I was thinking they were going to send him back to Texas with Carla and Emily and I'm so glad they didn't.
So there's still hope for my favorite pairing on this show and that was all I wanted for them.
I thought Jensen Ackles owned this episode and if he wants to come back I would gladly watch him continue to add layers to Beau Arlen.
I've loved this show so much and looked forward to it every week. I truly hope that it will be renewed.

So I loved Part 1 of the finale!
They fooled me into thinking Tony had the girls, but I guess Buck, having been foiled in his attempt to get Paige's heart, decided he'd take TWO! now instead.
Poor Beau must be even more terrified for his baby girl now!
That was such a great scene between Beau and Avery with Beau's desperation mounting even with his last words to Jenny and Pop as he went out to find Avery.
Cannot wait for Part 2 tomorrow night!
I'm pretty sure Donno is not dead.
Loved Tonya taking out Tony after he ended Avery, who I think learned the error of his ways much too late. Couldn't feel bad for him even while appreciating Henry Ian Cusick's acting in that role, and yes, especially when he was opposite Jensen, who finally got a scene with Reba in this one. Yay! for that scene too.
I don't think she had any idea about Buck and his Are you mad? at the end, not only explained the title of this episode, but also gave us more insight into their twisted relationship.
Yup, poor Walter and Cormack indeed.

I never understand this trope.
IMO, in real life, it is very difficult for parents to open up to their children, even adult children. Especially about trauma and past mistakes. It might have to do with guilt/shame or even trying to protect their children from the harshness and cruelty of life. The parents suffered, doesn't mean they have to share their suffering. This "you should be honest with me and open up" thing with kids somehow never feels true to me. Emily knew what happened and that it affected her Dad, that should be enough. He doesn't need to share anything else with his child.
Normal teenagers often think they know everything about everything and have all the answers to any problem.
It's a trope for a reason, I guess.
I think as much as they wanted to make Emily seem more "mature" than the average teen, they just couldn't resist the urge to go for that one, anyway.
They should have resisted and instead opened up a conversation about precisely what you stated here, not to mention also opening up the question of exactly why Beau feels that he would have ever felt the need to "just get over" his trauma in order to keep his family intact.
But we didn't get that, did we?
Instead we got the old, moldy, and pat conversation that usually goes along with this type of material.
Using Emily as a participant in it did turn it into that trope.
And I hear, understand, and agree with your frustration with it, for the most part.

Very disappointed with the writers making Beau apologize for not getting over his partner's death soon enough to "be there" for his wife. But was she there for him? It's been 2 years since the partner's death. In those two years, Carla got frustrated, got divorced, met someone else, got married, and moved out of state. What was Carla going through that Beau wasn't there for? Was her trauma dealing with Beau and his trauma? So he had to "get over it" so she didn't have to deal with it?
Yup.
Shades of your typical Supernatural writing room antics there.
I was hoping for better from this group, but not totally surprised either considering Beau Arlen has been written as the strong, silent type much like JA's Dean Winchester was originally written in that previous show.
It truly would have been refreshing for the divorce discussion to have been written as a two way street as regards "fault" and/or "blame"-which from the few facts we've been given so far, certainly seems possible and indeed, more plausible.
Emily sounded like a typical teen in her conversation with Beau-meaning she had all the answers to all the problems in her parents' marriage, in that one little quip, and those answers were all the right ones, of course.
We can only hope that the real people in the writers' room might have a better understanding of the many more complexities that are often involved in the dissolution of any marriage.
Yeah, I was really hoping for better.
The acting was stellar in this episode, though-even that scene.
Avery and Beau facing off was so intense.
I do think Avery is headed for a huge downfall.
He lies to himself and others at every turn and his attempt to shift the blame onto Beau for things that he, himself, set into motion through his own greed and insecurities will come home to roost, I'm sure, and there will be no one to blame but himself.
Here's to hoping that the writers at least get that one right.
I thought the story with Jenny and her mom was pretty creepy-except for settling it with a corn hole game which kind of made me snort with laughter. Ah, this show...
Paige got the best of Buck. Good for her. But I'm guessing he's not dead.
Super Foxes FTW!, Donno!! 😄
Looking so forward to the two-part finale. The preview for next week looked great!
I'm so going to miss Mr. Ackles and co. when the season is over though.

One thing the two shows most certainly have in common is the differing and varied opinions and viewpoints on so many aspects of the 2 shows.
In the past, I'd often seen the comment that "It's like we were watching two different shows" as regarded the mothership; and I have to say that I feel the same after reading some of the comments in the episode threads on this site, concerning this show, too.
I'm just going to add that I never felt that we'd get any real answers until the finale, as it is with many shows, especially the good ones, wherein we'd also better recognize any hints and clues that might have been woven in by the writers throughout the season.
I know what I'd like to see in episode 13, but that's for the spoilers and spec thread someday...

High expectations are always a problem. I have a feeling that a lot of people are trying to compare this prequel to the beginning of SPN. IMO This is pointless, because I seriously doubt that anyone will ever be able to recreate something exactly like SPN S1-4. Honestly, I haven't noticed anything really bad on ''The Winchesters'' so far and I still think that this show is much more of SPN than any of S12-15, but MV, of course.
There will always be naysayers when it comes to any kind of entertainment product.
I've actually seen a lot of postivity for the show on my twitter and Instagram accounts and even though I'm not into either one of those things big-time, but timelines for any individual will undoubtedly affect whether one sees the show as "succeeding" or "failing" in any way, and not just in attempting to capture the essence of the mothership.
For my part, I'm enjoying it immensely as I see it as both capturing a bit of the mothership's essence, but also as an entity unto itself within the SPN universe.
And yes, I completely agree with the last part of the above quote-to me, The Winchesters harkens back to the mothership far more and better than S12-15 under he-who-shall-not be named-here ever did.
I'm still watching and re-watching The Winchesters avidly because it's enjoyable programming to me, and usually demands a re-watch, as Supernatural often did, when it was at it's best.
I haven't had time to post about it as much as I'd like to, but maybe after the holidays, I can catch up with that, too.
I'm hoping for that, anyway.
RL is insane sometimes, though, isn't it?! 🤪

It doesn't feel sudden to me. Actually, I've seen it pretty clearly for awhile
Me too!!
And it's the best part of this show for me even though the slow burn seems interminable after this one.
I SO! wanted to see more between them but then Emily amd Carla showed up. DRAT!
I'm hoping that once he knows they're safe from Avery and his ever dubious machinations, he'll be ready for Jenny, especially because she's clearly ready for more with him, and frankly, I can't imagine anyone not being ready for Beau Arlen to sweep them off their feet.
I saw a very interesting interview with Elwood Reid the other day wherein he said that Beau is a "gentleman" and because of that and he also being Jenny's work superior, he would most certainly be prone to thinking twice about a romance with her, extreme sparks or not-and there's clearly been extreme sparks as far as this viewer is concerned.
I only hope that we will actually get to see the fire spring to life between them before the end of the season, no matter what it brings and holds for them and for all of the characters on this show, for that matter. I'm actually invested in all of their stories, and this, in spite of the often silly writing.
Can't wait for Big Sky to return and I'm so glad that it will return right after the new year starts.
12 hours ago, thuganomics85 said:I think the acting is fine all around, even if the writing does let them down at times
Agreed.
And as for Mr. Ackles, I recently read that if anyone needs to see his amazing range they only need to look back to the role that he took on right before Beau, and the one immediately after finishing up on Supernatural-Soldier Boy from The Boys-the poster child for masculine toxicity in that universe and the complete opposite of Beau Arlen.
I further think that he might or could appear to be "coasting" to some in this role because the role seems to be very like Jensen, himself, IRL, which is unknowable by anyone but his family and close friends, but even if that is indeed the case, that's the character the writers wanted and wrote to and it's all fine by me, especially after his taking on that truly very demanding one previously.
And the real proof of his acting ability to me is that so many want to see him back in BOTH! roles.
I can't even begin to guess what's coming up next on this show for any of the characters-and honestly?-I find that so refreshing in tv these days, so I'm counting down the days to Jan. 4th.

I agree with the comments about the unbelievable actions by the sheriff's department in their investigations. None of them make sense in the real world. But as I mentioned in another episode section, I have always watched this show tongue-in-cheek, expecting nothing sensible and enjoying it nonetheless
I can't imagine doing anything otherwise, especially on a second watch of this one and taking into account and consideration all the hilarious dialogues between too many of the awesome characters in this show.
I found this episode wildly entertaining in the same totally tongue-in-cheek, senseless manner.
Or as I read elsewhere(maybe even here, on another episode thread)-I simply love this stupid show to pieces and can't wait for the next episode, and 2 weeks is too long to have to wait for me. 🥰 🙃

After my first viewing, I only know that I needed more Beau and Jenny scenes and definitely less of Beau and Carla. I'll take any other combination of characters within scenes that include Beau, but that woman has no understanding whatsoever of who her ex-husband truly is, at his core, and I SO! hope that that pairing is not the writers' intended endgame for my favorite character on this show-because YIKES!, that woman is so unlikable, AFAIC.
I even like Avery better than her and I don't like Avery at all.
Bodies were dropping left and right in this one. Poor trooper! I was shocked by that one.
At this point, I'm pretty sure that Walter is a red herring character as the Big Killer and that it's more likely Buck who's the Bleeding Heart killer, with Sunny possibly covering for him at many turns, but with the thought in her head(that mostly comes from misplaced guilt and equally misplaced familial loyalty-lots of that in the Barnes clan, for sure) that she's been trying to cover for/help her first-born son who she gave up for adoption.
Also have to add that I loved both the Tonya and Donno interviews conducted by our sheriff's dept. and can't help but root for that pairing too, though not in a romantic way, as it's clearly not that from Tonya's side.
The Paige and Walter pairing gives me the creeps. Big time. 😳

Wow!
This episode was something else!
Loved it so much, but as with all the others I need to watch again to take it all in, and especially because I'm always so bedazzled by our dear Sheriff Beau on the first go round.
Loved how he comforted Denise.
Both actors were both so good in that scene.
And as far as he and Jenny going to the rescue of Cassie, who they thought was in the clutches of the original killer even though it was really only a tormented-by-grief dad?-well, as I stated elsewhere-Sheriff Beau Arlen simply completes me.
And I would not be the least bit surprised if it's eventually shown that our Jenny feels the same.
I'm wondering if the Tonya and Donno and co. storyline might continue on parallel to the glamping storyline and even become of equal or greater importance as the series goes forward this season.
Back with more after my second watch.

Only Sheriff Beau should be allowed to kick down a door. There should be a law.
Eh, I see it as just another reason that they're made for each other. ;-)
Beau and Jenny are, hands down, my favorite thing about this show.
I love them to pleces; especially the slow burn of this relationship that they're giving us.
I can't wait for him to call her Jenny instead of Hoyt, while stiil loving and LOLing at his response of "You wish" to her very sultry response of "Would it break your heart?" when he asked her if she was really never going to date another cop.
That little scene was one of two that were Golden to me in this episode.
The other was, of course, Walter and Donno's scene which was so funny and loaded with subtleties-my favorite kind of dialogue.
The case of the week was good-loved Sheriff Beau's action scene and the scene with him and Popernak and Jenny when they were discussing what to do next in their search for someone else's Baby AKA Delilah, the vintage Trans Am in this episode(I see what you did there, Show-btw, I recently read that Jensen Ackles adds in a lot of the SPN easter eggs, himself, and the editors leave them in. Love that. So much.). And the obvious pain our dear Sheriff experienced afterwards, both on the road and when he went back to the office and tried to hide it from Jenny, but she saw, Sir, and that little interaction was lovely too.
Jenny getting hit on by the cop and the bad guy was a hoot and almost made me hope that the bad guy wasn't the bad guy even while I kind of knew that he was even while he was hitting on her and which his accomplice's murder cemented.
Cassie's investigation may be the downfall of anything good that might come of her and Cormack, but the real question is who Cormack will back when he finds out how crazy mom and dad are-not to mention step-brother Walter, who I think now possesses Emily's knife- for the poster above who was wondering. Not 100% sure of that though. Maybe someone here with better eyes might have noticed?...
And last, but not least, poor Mary, yes, who just couldn't refrain from voicing her suspicions to the wrong person at the wrong time even while she knew that it might be the wrong person and blinding her to the knife in the back from-Surprise!(but not really, tbh)-Buck-who now has commited the first actual murder that we've seen as far as the long story of the glampers in the woods is concerned.
Looking very forward to next week and how Sunny and Buck will handle this one.
Can't wait for the sheriff's dept. and Cassie to get working together on what's going on in those woods.
That's going to be fun and we'll see if Denise's 20-year-old bleeding heart murder mystery gets solved too, along with the Paige/Luke/Avery and now Tonya and Donno shenanigans too.
Lots of very interesting irons in the campfire, along with lots of interesting characters is making this viewer very happy, Big Sky writers.

Ada was quite interesting in this episode. She seems to have nerves of steel when dealing with the demon. When he tries to taunt her about having been possessed, she doesn’t really react, but there are hints of a deep rage underneath her cool exterior, and she makes sure that the demon regrets messing with her. She already knows what she is going to do with the demon from the very beginning, as she sits in the van preparing her little bonsai tree. And after they capture the demon, when she says to Carlos in her soft, calm voice, “Let’s take him someplace quiet, so we can talk with him first”, it is actually quite a chilling moment.
If she isn't, I think she wishes that she could!
Another thing that is interesting about Ada and the bonsai tree, is that it shows how Ada does not seem to feel any need to consult with the others or even explain what she is going to do before she does it. As with the automatic writing spell, she keeps her own counsel, and just goes ahead and carries out her plans, without reporting back to Mary first as Carlos assumes they will. It might create an interesting dynamic between her and the others.
Plus, of course, it is kind of cool to see the demon so terrified of being trapped in the little tree. I’ve always thought there was something sort of magical about a bonsai tree, but it was a surprise to see that the demon found it a fate worse than being in Hell. Also I like the idea that demons can possess non-human living things (reminded me of Jesus Christ in the Bible, casting out demons from a man and putting them into a herd of pigs instead) because it opens up different story possibilities.
Another unexpected moment which I liked is when Mary turns to tell the children that they have to give up the beloved object that the Bori Baba is using to keep them trapped. I expected that little Carrie would be very upset to give up Bernice and would need a lot of convincing, and was totally surprised when before Mary has said a word, Carrie rips off Bernice’s head and is like, “Sorry, Bernice, I’m going home!” (Shades of Dean and the sacrificed rabbit in “Malleus Maleficarum”: “Why does the rabbit always get screwed in the deal?” 😄) Poor Bernice! – but it was actually pretty funny. And I liked Carrie stomping on the Bori Baba’s head after John cuts it off – like Ada, she is definitely a force to be reckoned with!
I'm going to co-sign every word of this post.
And add that I also agree with the poster who said that this was Mary and Ada's episode.
I loved when Mary said "You found me once, John Winchester. You can find me again." because I have a strong feeling that they've found each other again, way more than once, and time after time.
I really got Gaidal Cain and Birgitte vibes from The Wheel of Time from that exchange.
And Ada is Amazing.
But the best line of the episode went to Carrie AFAIC.
"Stupid monster!" as she stomped on it's head.

SuperNormal: Public Appearances, Tweets, Media And Other Social Media Of The SPN Cast
in Supernatural
From his instagram he had a blast filming with JH.
His addendum was "Let's do it again"
And while that doesn't rule out Russell being killed off, it's a little more hopeful.
And Elwood Reid writes and executive produces Tracker and he's crazy about Jensen(wrote Beau Arlen of Big Sky just for him).
So I'm thinking recurring on this show because I'm betting that Kripke wants him back on The Boys for S5 too.
And then there's the possiblity of his playing Batman for DC too.
Our guy has lots of irons in the fire acting-wise for sure
And can't forget about Radio company either.
So happy for him. 🥰
