He woke up and moved from the kid's floor to his bedroom, then the phone dies, and he has to go and find his charger. He plugged

Gordon Walker was a good villain, and Philip Davidson was even better. :)

I remember thinking back in the day that this actor is genuinely very good and they wasted him in season 3 🤪

[tomelette]

Yep, there are so few characters I remember and Gordon was one of them. Supernatural introduced this great potential villain "human" to us on season two and wasted all potential a season later? Why? Can you imagine Gordon on season five after Lucifer came? Or in the episode where War showed up? He'd be perfect.

Even if they really wanted to vamp him in S3, they invented a whole new vampire character for Dean to be extremely heterosexual at in S8 when Gordon was right there in Purgatory and far more interesting with a previous dynamic with both Winchester brothers.

[melancolour]

they probably couldn't afford him by s8 (I hope)

[einodia]

They were constantly killing off great characters for bullshit reasons and then showing up with a lesser version played by a weaker actor soon after, so I'm sure he never crossed their minds. Good for him tbh, he got his check from them during one of the few actually good seasons of that show!

[melancolour]

s3 was the last good season imo so I fully agree

[einodia]

I think S4 & S5 could have been good if (a) they'd actually let it end when Kripke left and (b) they'd let the show become an ensemble in S3. The Harvelles and Rufus and Gordon and Victor Henriksen vs Lucifer's demon army including Ruby and Meg, etc would have been way better than the claustrophobic apocalypse they came up with. All that hype about the end of the world, and it's just two possessed dudes punching each other in a cemetery!

I just hated the turn to include the angels and generally thought they fumbled especially sam's character in s4 and ultimately I don't think it would have gone in the direction it did if not for the writer's strike that happened mid3

[einodia]

To think, if it hadn't been for the 2007-2008 writers' strike, SPN probably would have gotten cancelled after S3, and the mental landscape of the Extremely Online population would be so much different today.

[melancolour]

totally possible lol, Kim Manners dying could have definitely been part of the cancellation but it's impossible to know, that show was constantly almost cancelled until it somehow was on forever instead

[tomelette]

YES Gordon becoming a friend in the Purgatory would create a better dynamic!

[theactualworst]

Same!!

[pa0r_ple]

He was one of my favorite characters on the show. I wish they did more with him cause it would have been amazing to see him at least in seasons 4 and 5.

[tomelette]

That is the thing! His character could have a whole arc.

[pa0r_ple]

Yes! I would have loved to see how Gordon Walker would have felt about angels and finding out that Sam was Lucifer's vessel...that shit would have been wild lol.
