What does it say that I found this episode less obnoxious than the premiere? That Buckleming did a better writing job than the showrunner? And how terrifying is that thought since Dabb is plotting the whole season???
I am just assuming Kevin showed up as the first of a long line of guest actors who will get one final appearance this year to negate their original emotional demise...
Rowena/Ketch is as much a waste of time as Rowena/Gabriel was in the middle of the rift problem. Funny enough, same writers...
This is an excerpt from an Andrew Dabb interview that showed up earlier this week:
Interviewer: There’s always been this meta narrative of the show where Chuck is an author and the avatar for you guys, the writers. Chuck (Rob Benedict) left when Eric Kripke left, for example. Now he’s been revealed as this cruel god that lives off suffering, so how does that reflect you as the writers?Dabb: (Sarcastically) I think accurately. It’s a mirror image

Chuck likes the GoT ending, so we can expect that this season will end with Chuck smiting Cas, Dean is so pissed off with God that he goes crazy and ganks Kansas. In the resulting chaos, Chuck and Amara die together when they are crushed under the falling weight of the second biggest ball of twine in the Continental US. Sam has to kill Dean to stop him from continuing to gank the rest of the US. Sam says his sad goodbyes to Rowena, Jody and Kevin, then goes to live out the end of his miserable days in Nunavut

Ok, first of all, since I didn't have the energy and time to write out my entire inner fangirl rant on the premiere when I read your review - thank you so so much for the work you do, putting these together, rewatching, gif-ing, writing them up every week. They give me joy, and satisfaction in the way you give voice to so many of my thoughts (and definitely some theses that I wouldn't ever think about). So, there's a lot I could unpack, but since you already put most of it very well, I have two major points that it's like to posit for discussion:
1) This is actually also a reference to last weeks premiere, where the issue in my view was even more pronounced, but it contiuned this week and... is it just me or does anyone else feel like there's something wrong with the show, like in the technical sense, blocking, editing, the whole setting? Like, I felt the pacing was so off last week whenever we got an action driven sequence, the boys running felt like they were put on <<2 in those shots, all the dynamic felt so slow, the reveal
