A great review of last night's episode. Supernatural: Mothers and Daughters

It starts like this:

Did the planet just backflip off its axis? Are pigs doing cartwheels across the sky? Did Michael Jackson moonwalk out of his grave and buy a ticket to Shrek 5? Because something impossible just happened: Supernatural based a whole episode around

usually AoS airs an hour earlier so it doesn't clash with Show, and the drop in Show's rating was so sudden that I'd just chalk it up to AoS.

Ah, that could explain it. It did seem like a drastic drop. I wondered if it was because it opened with Metatron addressing the viewers - that might have unnerved a few. But AoS would explain it (I assume it's doing well in the US...)

and *nods* to the second para. Jo was introduced as a potential love interest to Dean and wow - the backlash was massive. I don't think it was so much that she was a female on the show, but more that she seemed like such an ill-match for Dean. I'm not sure if the comments surrounding her changed the Show's approach to the relationship or if what we saw was their original plan. As it turned out, it worked really well (I thought). It was mostly the way it was announced that created such a stir. Just like Ruby and Bela's announcement did.

I think now they just bring in characters without saying too much about them (I think?). Though I know Amelia was announced as Sam's love interest. She's a good example of fans probably wanting to accept her but they wrote her so badly that it was extremely difficult to (I'd still love to know what their thinking was with her. Maybe it all sounded better on paper...).
