Aeryn13 July 19, 2019 Share July 19, 2019 I dread what comes out of this Comic Con, probably all Jack all the time. Maybe a bit of Sam. And Jensen talking about his first day of directing because Dean has nothing going on. Only Cas is maybe worse, at this point he only has his complete Jackie-poo obsession. 1 2 Link to comment

On the face of it, I read the photo and comment as more snotty/snarky than funny. Spoke to Jeremy Adams last night. He said the writers were cool with it and have thick skins. He’s really excited to be part of the team. He said Bobo Berens had taken him under his wing and was helping him. Nice guy. Link to comment

You know the guy who fails at everything according to TV guide. And the one writer, who liked Dean, left. This is gonna be 20 gruesome episodes. 2 Link to comment
ILoveReading July 20, 2019 Share July 20, 2019 (edited) Don't tell me there is no Dean bias. He's not stupid. Dean doesn't do much of anything under this regime. If the new guy is being mentored by Berens, and no incentive for them to write for Jensen. It's going to be a long year Dean fans. I suspect that photo Jensen posted will sum up the entire season.

gonzosgirrl July 20, 2019 Share July 20, 2019 I am legitimately hoping that the zombies kill Dean before the title card of 15x01. Maybe he'd get a few kind words at his pyre. You know, if Donna showed up. 7 Link to comment

Yes, it was a loaded ridiculous question. But Berens didn't have to mention Dean at all since the idiot questioner only asked about Sam. Yet he had to include a dig at Dean just for shits and giggles. Very petty, very small. Very Bobo. I will never understand the hatred these showrunners/producers have toward Dean Winchester - a fictional character without whom the show would never have gotten past the pilot, never have seen the light of day. But whatever, it's very obvious this d-list writing crew is going to cling to their high school mean girl attitude to the bitter end. And that's not a good look for these guys. 🙄 9 Link to comment

He's on my poop list. LOL I was just saying that canonically, even if Berens was digging at Dean, Dean himself has an actual valid reason for not voting. Sadly, I doubt Berens even remembers that part of the show. Sigh.... 5 Link to comment
ahrtee July 20, 2019 Share July 20, 2019 OTOH, no one was asking who they'd actually *vote* for (since neither can vote), but who they like/would support. They could have said "Dean hates politics" which would actually be true and not as snide as "doesn't vote." 9 Link to comment
ahrtee July 20, 2019 Share July 20, 2019 A side question: since the boys now have a permanent home (at least, a PO Box) and identities as "the Campbells" in Lebanon, I wonder if they've gotten new "official" IDs and are now legally alive again? Not that they need to pay taxes, or have a social security number to get jobs, or vote...😊 1 1 Link to comment

I really hope that somehow that whole Mirror Universe thing in the s14 finale will have some pay off that all of this has been in Dean's mind because he really did get int he Box with Michael after all.

Bobcatkitten July 20, 2019 Share July 20, 2019 I actually agree he doesn't vote. He's busy saving the world and deals with real monsters and death etc. So I can see where he would find politics trivial. 1 1 Link to comment

Seriously asking: when is the last time any one of them had something good or complimentary to say about Dean? I loathe them to a person. 8 Link to comment

ahrtee July 21, 2019 Share July 21, 2019 #Supernatural Andrew Dabb jokes “I think about 30% of people will be really happy” with the end. @RobBenedict & @dicksp8jr: “You thought #GameOfThrones was bad...” #SDCC Seriously, does he not understand the point of writing, especially a series ender? Just because people might be talking about it doesn't mean it's good for publicity (or any future careers). Bad endings tend to leave a bad taste in the mouth for any future projects (and even ruin enjoyment of the past episodes.) Sure, everyone knows that they'll never satisfy everyone, but I'd think they'd aim for a higher percentage. Does he realize that 30% approval means that 70% of the fans will either be unhappy or downright angry? There's still time to change that, guys. 8 Link to comment

I see this kind of opinion expressed a lot, but for me that wouldn't explain Jensen's Benny enthusiasm in season 8 (which was a horrendous storyline for Sam) or the enthusiasm for season 9 which was also a terrible storyline for Sam (a supposedly "juicy" part for Jared doesn't mean a good storyline for Sam). Even season 10 in the end didn't turn out so well for Sam story-wise. So, it seems to me that both Jared and Jensen mostly like good storylines for their own characters, and that only makes sense to me. 1 Link to comment
AwesomO4000 July 23, 2019 Share July 23, 2019 Brought over from the "These Spoilers Suck" thread (no spoilers) 3 hours ago, Res said: Because I have an unhealthy compulsion to finish things, I probably will watch unfortunately but I will definitely check here first to prepare and it won't be any kind of must watch it was pre-Dabb. Yes, Carver was much, much better than this, imho. In fact, he's probably the best and at least tried to loosen their reigns on each other. I admire him for at least that. It's interesting that you see it that way, because for me, if that was what Carver was trying to do, then he failed. I found the brothers to be way, way more codependent after Carver got through with them than when Gamble wrote them. At least under Gamble they disagreed and then came to an agreement after seeing each other's sides (See "The Mentalists" and the season 7 final episodes.) Under Carver, they disagreed, got petty, didn't listen to each other at all, and came back together due to trauma / circumstance / manipulation in the most unhealthy way imaginable (see the season 8 finale, the season 9 finale, the season 10 finale.) It's why I don't want Carver anywhere near a finale. We'd end up with a repeat of "there is no me without you" Dean and "all I ever wanted was your approval" Sam. 2 Link to comment
