JFC what the hell was that?? I always forget how infuriating this show can be until I watch a new episode. Halfway through the episode even my wife caved and said "you were right, this season sucks". I feel like Chuck making Sam lose hope was a metaphor for the writers making the fans lose hope. - Why wasn't Chuck in pain when he was cutting into Sam's wound, seeing as how the entire point was that they were connected? - Um, Sam losing hope = Chuck's power level restored makes WHAT kind of sense? That was lol so random! - Why would Chuck being trapped by the mark cause the world to be overtaken by darkness and monsters? The world wasn't all rainbows and kittens when Amara was trapped by the mark. - I HATED that Dean apologized for daring to show emotions because his best friend would bring up Jack whenever Dean tried to bring up Mary. - the Leviathan effect was worse than in season 7. - Right. Dean is going to blast the Leviathan with a single shot of borax and then turn his back on him. Sure show, whatever you say. - Wow, what an exciting scene Cas described to Dean about his daring escape. Too bad the writers don't know about "show don't tell". - Hey, as long as we have an entire two minutes before the portal closes, and it's who-knows how far away, let's stop everything and have a heart-to-heart. Ok I think I'm done ranting.

"Maybe we are each other's Achilles' Heel. Maybe they'll find a way to use us against each other, I don't know. I just know we're all we've got... More than that, we keep each other human." - DEAN WINCHESTER, "The End", season 5, episode 4. Just saying.

- Was there anyone who DIDN'T guess that the old hunting partner was the bad guy 5 minutes in? I would have been shocked if he WASN'T. - I was actually a little bored because I was waiting for that "shocking turn of events" to happen. - However, Wifey & I LOVED Jenson singing! I was like "G.O.B.? What the heck.... OMG it's the Dukes of Hazzard song!" - I forgot how much fun it was to watch competently badass Dean! - Loved the nod to Lethal Weapon. - Really liked Dean's "NOPE!" to the hunting buddy calling him "brother". - I didn't like Sam's storyline because I don't feel like we the audience learned any new information. I feel like sitting through a story arc like that should have had a bigger payoff; something a little more detailed than "God's weak".

I loved this episode! - wifey & I were cracking up at the ghost pepper jerky bit. She's convinced that they actually gave him .something spicy because his reaction looked real. - we thought the people questioning Dean's younger I.D. was funny. - I called it that Chuck was responsible for their hunt being too easy, but I totally did not see the Lilith twist coming. I thought it was very well done. - I'm so glad that Sam told Dean about his dreams once he realized that they might be visions, and I totally buy him keeping them to himself because he thought they were just "messed up ptsd dreams". - Really felt Dean's frustration at the end, although I wasn't quite on board with it. I mean, they've killed gods before. Plus (and I hope Dean eventually remembers this), Death said that he would eventually reap God, so at least trying to get Billie's help is still an option.

Thank you 😊 I REALLY hope it doesn't go in that direction, but... *SIGH* it probably will. I'm probably a fool for thinking that the brothers' relationship is developing a healthy dynamic.

Well, granted I've only watched it once, but Dean seemed to know about the nightmares because he figured out that's what was bothering Sam at the beginning of the episode.

Yes, thank you! I totally get it. My wife and I are the same way. we are there for each other when one of us falters. If life is getting me down, she's the one who says "everything's going to be okay". Maybe the following week she's going through something difficult, so I'm the one to say it to her. So this is one thing that I've appreciated about this season; the boys seems to be focused on being there for each other, leaning on each other. I like it so much better than the standard "one of the brothers is keeping a secret and lying to the other" trope.

Wow. I mean I'm a pretty hardcore Pagan and even I'm like "DAMN you guys are REALLY throwing God under the bus!" I guess it's still so jarring ever since the end of last season because his personality is so completely different than before. It just feels like something evil is "wearing" Chuck.

Totally agree. When the demon pulled his heart out, the first thing I said was "why did they even bother bringing him back then?"

This would have been such a great line for Cas to say.

My interpretation of Dean's anger at Cas was that Dean was becoming increasingly resentful that Cas was all "oh poor, poor Jack, Jack was like a son to me, I lost my son," et. while like not even acknowledging Dean's loss of Mary because of Jack. I mean I don't think I could hold it together as well as Dean if someone killed my mom and my best friend spent all his time mourning the loss of her killer.

Sorry, I'm normally sympathetic towards Cas, but I am totally on Team Dean this time. He was absolutely right; Cas screwed up. So what if there was a new king of Hell? I know they seem really against it, but I just don't see what the problem is. How is it better to have Hell full of chaos, with demons running around doing whatever, instead of having them under the rule of one? Especially when that one could potentially be a frenemy? I rolled my eyes at Ketch's death. Like oh boy here we go again! Can't wait to see how he gets resurrected next season.... wait. Crap, that was for real, wasn't it? This is going to be the entire season, isn't it? Bringing people back just to kill them off. Sad about Rowena. Was really hoping that she'd be a final girl. Also, did anybody else breathe a sigh of relief after Cas read the verses and Lucifer DIDN'T show up??? I think I remember Belphasto... Blethaz... B-dude saying that it was to praise Lucifer or something and I was like "oh HELL no..."

Honestly, I haven't had any faith in the show for several seasons now. it ceased being scary, having any real stakes, of making cohesive sense... I can't even remember how long ago. I mainly just watch for the actors. The epicness of the storylines talk the talk, but they don't have the budget to walk the walk. So instead of the whole world burning like it should be right now, we get a small town that doesn't even have a visible forcefield. Those little Adobe Photoshop splooches that happened whenever an invisible ghost ran into the forcefield were adorable though. It's like they were made by the littlest intern who could. I gotta say though, after turning God into a slimy villain more despicable than Metatron, as well as retconning Kevin's fate, it's difficult for me to believe that they're not intentionally sabotaging the show.

Oh my poor wifey! She hates clowns, which was like half of this episode. She kept having to cover her eyes. 😓 I enjoyed this one. I'm especially fond of DemonJack and I hope he sticks around for a bit. Is it bad that I like him better than regular Jack?

Ever get the feeling that Dabb is actually Metatron?

I wonder what tonight's season premiere song is going to be? Since it's the last one, it should be something epic.
