Quick and Dirty Rewatch of Season 12 Thoughts

[borgmama1of5]

This Saturday I finally had time to start my rewatch of season 12 on the dvds.

I started around 4 pm Saturday...and finished up at 4:30 am Monday morning...while I did take a sleep break Saturday night, on Sunday I didn't want to stop and watched 13 episodes straight...and I'm going to call off work today (and after I get some sleep I have to do

Awesome!!! You deserve your day off 💕

I don't goof off very often...but when I do it's usually Supernatural related! :)

I wanted to like the BMOL storyline, but it was such a slow reveal as to what their goal was that I grew frustrated with it. Then Ketch remained such a mystery, which was equally frustrating. Actually, I would have been more impressed by the BMOL if they hadn't had so many flaws - you initially allow an unhinged person torture an American hunter even though you knew she wasn't stable? And for all their organization, cool toys, and knowledge, they were still wrong about things - like where the Alpha Vamp was. *sigh* I don't know...they should have been more impressive and scary, but the longer the season went the more chinks showed up in their armor. Which made me wonder why Mary and Sam were so willing to join up with them

The BMoL story made no sense! They should have hooked Sam initially like they got Mary, showing how efficient they were--they were torturing Sam for information that didn't exist...in fact their intel was very strange--they were really on top of some things like where the vamp nests were, and able to follow what was going on with Magda, and they knew about the secret 'area 94' where Sam and Dean were being held--but they didn't know there wasn't a 'hunter hierarchy' in the US?

One other hint that was dropped and then never followed up on was in the episode where Claire is turned into a werewolf. The werewolf who turned her talked about how his pack was doing their own thing not hurting anyone and hunters with weapons like nothing ever before came and wiped out the pack. That would have been a great twist to explore how the BMoL way was unnecessarily inhumane!

I wonder if Sam and Dean will ever run into Max again and see what he did--and have to fix it???
I definitely think that is the plan.

I wish I could be free to do a binge review like that! I did get quite a few at once doing Season 11 last month, but I still haven't finished LOL

I hope if they do write that episode it is done right--Max is a real tragic character...

Every once in a while I do something crazy...and it's usually connected with Supernatural :)

I disliked most of S12, more so as it went along. The BMoL made no sense. It made no sense when Sam and the other hunters ambushed their compound. I mean, come on, that was James Bond shit, and a bunch of townies with shotguns takes it over?

With Mary, I kept being annoyed by that one long piece of hair that hung down. I don't know if I'll keep watching. I don't want to come down on one side or another.

[borgmama1of5]

It's not what it was...but I still want to see Sam and Dean on my TV each week...

(And I know what you mean about that one piece of hair!!!)

Now you've got me itching to do a marathon rewatch too - but I've got so much else I should be doing! But without rewatching, your assessment is pretty much in line with my feelings about 12.

Have a nice snooze!

My dream, when I retire in 5 years, is to do a complete marathon rewatch where I do nothing else for as long as it takes...there's such a journey to follow now!
