Mixed feelings about that.

Really?! If you don't made me asking why?

OK I haven't been exactly loving this season and it's only been the last few episodes that I have actual enjoyed. BUT I'm still happy for season 9 (don't want the show to end.) XD

Remember what Castiel said at the end of last season? Resurrection is a punishment. Every time it gets worse. Admittedly I haven't seen the Ben Edlund episode yet, but As Time Goes By didn't fix the show for me. They haven't resolved the problems with the first half of the season, they've just swept them under the rug. I see a show continually in damage control, reacting to fan criticism. Last season there was an outcry about the show becoming too dark and painful, so instead of seeing the storyline through to a conclusion that might have made sense of it all, they just dumped it and substituted a comic thread instead. Then they start a new season wuth two characters who are pretty much unrecognisable as Sam and Dean and when there's an outcry about that, they dump that storyline as well and substitute a faux supernatural plot that's supposed to please the fans. And it's like they're saying: "There you go, they're all close and brotherly again. We're making the show about family again. Happy now?" No. Sorry. I'm not. Not after what's

You know, I was actually quite hopeful when I saw the very first episode of the series because I thought the twist was going to be that Dean thought it was all about the girl, when it was actually all about the dog. It was going to turn out that Sam hit that dog while he was blind with grief, then found himself landed with the resposibility of caring for it. And then he'd found that caring for that helpless creature had lifted him out of the morass of grief and given him something to live for. And that's what he'd found more important than hunting because, deep down, that dog had been his Dean substitute - his compensation for not being able to save and care for Dean. I was so disapponted when they ran with the predicatable Jessica substitute romance plot instead.

Sorry for the late reply

No, they never sold Amelia as a character or Sam's relationship with her. Makes me wonder if that's because Jared doesn't want to do romantic scenes now he's married etc but, in that case, why write a love interest in the first place? To me, the first episode clearly implied that Sam left quietly in the middle of the night because he'd just got Dean's call, so the later scene where she found him packing - and all the stuff about her husband coming back just contradicted that. None of it scanned. None of it made sense.

I'm always behind the times though. Everyone Hates Hitler doesn't air here until Monday. Maybe I'll feel better after. I usually like Ben Edlund's episodes.

Sorry this is late but I had know idea you commented!! Your message didn't come up in my in box. O-o

That's a good point, maybe he doesn't feel comfortable doing them now his married. There was no point for the Amelia thing at all. Though a few fan's think she will end up pregnant or something....hell no.

Oh right see I only seen clips of the first episode so missed a few scenes.

I really enjoyed it, so hope you do too. ^_______^

I watched it last night, and I did enjoy it. Not convinced the bat cave is the new home from home it promises to be, tho. Dean listening to 40s band music and drinking whiskey out of crystal while the Impala languishes neglected outside? That just aint right o_O

[yellowbulma]

Well they might get rid of it like Bobby's, who knows. But when I read other reviews and their like "Aww now the boy's finally have a home." WTF!?, like Chuck said "their where never homeless." ;)

Glad you enjoyed it. What did you think of the Golem and Aaron? I would really like if they came back again.

[fanspired]

I think it might be significant that practically the first thing Henry did was smash and invade the Impala, and the Impala got smashed again in the Golem episode. I'm not convinced about this gift horse. I think the boys should be looking for teeth.

I enjoyed the Golem and Aaron as a one off, but I'm not looking for them to come back again. Which isn't to say it won't happen, but I'd like to see a return to episodes that connect to real lives and real people. I'm starting to realize that's what's missing from this season, and that's why it all feels so unreal. On the whole, all the supernatural stuff is happening to individuals in isolation from any normal life activity, so it lacks immediacy and relevance. Maybe that's the point. Maybe the bat cave is another example of Sam and Dean becoming disconnected from the common people they used to help: a sort of underground inversion of the ivory tower.
