    And, IMO, worse than boring, they're both the same with the exception that angels are far less powerful.

    I remember when demons fled in fear when angels showed up.  Angels could smite them with a look.   What happened?

    Dean continuing to be such a complete douche ruined most of the episode for me. I’ve lost all patience with his constant moody moping self pitying anger. I think it’s obvious he’s mentally ill, which is not his fault. But he needs some meds fast. Abilify worked wonders for my cousin with similar symptoms. He needs to go get some help. Because this is not enjoyable to watch. I’d rather watch Sam and Jack team up and leave Dean behind to sulk. 

    The Empty said God had no authority but since Cas has died a few times already and been brought back, wouldn’t God have pulled him out of there before? 

    Dean has every right to be angry, sad, bitter and grief stricken.  He does not have the right to take his feelings out on anyone else.  I find the defense of that behavior by excusing it as that's just the way he is, to be reprehensible.  Behavior is a choice.  Dean using Sam and Jack as his emotional punching bags is completely wrong and undeserved.

    It seems to be one of those - it needs to be 'fresh' when it's convenient for the plot things.  Sam and Ruby took the nurse along for fresh blood when he went to kill Lilith instead of just draining her blood into jugs.  

    Or maybe that was to make Sam look less sympathetic then.  But if he was just chugging from jugs in Swan Song, we didn't have to think about the poor demon-possessed victims they had to kill to get all that blood.  

    I've never gotten why we're supposed to be so disgusted and outraged over Sam drinking from that nurse when nobody cares about any other possessed people.  They kill meat suits, torture them for information and drain them for their own purposes.  What was so special about her?

    I hate prequels. I especially hate sci-fi prequels. The special effects technology changes too much; heck, real-life technology changes too much. Case in point -- "Star Trek: Enterprise" (and the new series "Star Trek: Discovery," which feature technology more advanced than the the original series, Yes, I know 50 years have gone by in real life. Would you make a prequel to "Gone with the Wind," with Scarlett driving a car to Atlanta?

    What?  You mean Scarlett didn't flee Atlanta in a Model T?

    Got around to watching the first 3 eps of The Handmaiden's Tale. As people said, Alexis Bledel is so excellent in this role. Just her performance raises an already harrowing show up a few levels of horrifying. Especially since the setting is Nightmare New England as much as Stars Hallow was Fairy Tale New England. 

    Now I want to see Lorelai in the Handmaid universe.

    Today a nature show on PBS taught me that the Bikini Atoll has radioactive mutant sharks lurking in the water. If that can't be turned into a bad sci-fi movie, then I don't know what can.

    That's the plot of the next Sharknado!  Starring Wil Wheaton, Jensen Ackles and Charisma Carpenter along with Ian Ziering.

     

    TV has taught me that brick must be removed from a house before its transported to another location. What I'll do with this information is anybody's guess.

    You're not alone.  I tend to agree with this.  Just like whenever Sam's time in hell is mentioned, it's because 'Sam's a giant egotistical power-tripping screw-up and started the Apocalypse.'  How would mentioning Dean's time in hell go?  "You know, Dean also went to hell".  "You mean the righteous weakling who broke under torture when his daddy didn't and broke the first seal which really started the Apocalypse?"  (Heads explode all over fandom and PTV in particular.)  

    Now that is something I'd like to see.  It really galls that the show constantly puts all the blame on Sam for the apocalypse when Dean is the one who broke the first seal.

    You mean like when Dean brought Sam back ?? Honestly the 'they are just like the Winchesters' anvils were raining down on us non stop in this ep; from the 'moms on a hunting trip...' line to looking for their mum, to tragedy to losing a sibling to doing a deal to get her back. It was like all of s1-3 of SPN in one ep all tied up in a 'wouldn't this be a good spin off' bow.

    Short answer? No it wouldn't!

    I'll comment on the actual ep when I've had some sleep but initial impression is that I was distinctly underwhelmed 

    Well at least the Banes family are likeable.  I'm surprised he didn't re-reanimate Tasha too.

    I thought the Doctor was a complete and utter asshole at the end. These people just awoke from stasis, find out their loved ones are dead AND the things that killed them are hanging out still posing a danger to them (hope nothing fucks up that programming again), and he acts like they're assholes for thinking they need to protect themselves. 

     I was indifferent to Clara, but I am sorry to see so many are still hung up on the character. I had hoped to discuss the episode, so I had to skip a bunch of posts. Obsessing about her didn't have much to do with this episode, after all. 

    In my head canon, the colonists promptly turned the robots off the minute the doctor left and melted them all down for scrap.

    Yes, his whole attitude of, 'well they've forgotten all about it so you shouldn't be bothered' was awful.

    Personally, I think it was all three of them deciding to be stubborn. I'd guess since John told Sam if he walked out the door he was out, so John was sticking to his threat hoping Sam would come running back on his own; Sam figured since John told him to stay gone and since no one reached out to him, he figured they didn't want him to reach out to them either; Dean figured since Sam didn't try to reach out, Sam didn't want to hear from him.

    IMO, it was a stubborn circle of all of them figuring the other didn't want contact and none of them wanting to be the first to cave. Because...stubborn men!

    And the fault still lies with the one who kicked his own teenaged son out in the middle of the night, not with the teenager.

    I'm not unsympathetic to Dean being upset that Sam went to school.  I'm unsympathetic to the fact that he kept throwing it in Sam's face for year's afterwards.

     

    That's exactly how I feel.  Sure, Dean had every right to be upset, but he should have gotten over it during the years Sam was at Stanford, or they should have hashed it out in S1 and let it drop permanently.  All it does is make Dean look like an immature, jealous, grudge-holder, especially since he had a car, wasn't tied down with a job or family, and could have visited Sam anytime he wanted.
