Alright boys and girls....here we go...

( You don't even know how to say goodbye... )

Does anyone remember at the end of Swan Song where Dean asked Cas if he was God? I can't help wondering if that was deliberate or accidental forshadowing?

That didn't stop me from hunting around for my jaw last night from where I didn't just DROP it, I flat out LOST it at the ending when Cas proclaimed himself God!

As always, enjoyed your review\recap.

Ooo, nice catch. I don't think it was deliberate foreshadowing so much as a happy coincidence. Dean didn't seem to mind the idea then - but hey, that was different circumstances obviously.

And yeah, I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I don't think I was expecting Cas to become drunk with power...though, who can blame him, now no one is ALLOWED to doubt him.

I mean, there was so much torturing this season, I really thought it was going to be a "thing"...but I suppose it's just a coincidence.

Me too. And I'm really sad that they didn't use this awesome setting for some line about Dean again torturing. The only thing Sam was worried about (or said he was, at least) was the drinking and coffee and not-sleeping. But how about some line (maybe when he was praying to Cas?) about how that must fuck up Dean's mind? Or are we all pretending he never learned to torture in Hell and is just happy and dandy now that he did it again topside? I mean, it seemed to be a big deal to Dean when he confronted 2014Dean. So I'm really pissed that they drop all that.

BUT maybe they'll use it later? I hope so. But *sigh* I fear they really wanna erase that part of him. (so hoping not! *clings to trust in authors*)

"Then" and thought "Oh man, it better not be Lisa, because that would make NO sense." All we see is "Eleanor 1935" on the back of the photograph.Hee, me too. I thought when they spoke about the kid ( ... )

CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SON.... or how to pick out a Supernatural fan in a room: play this song, watch for crying.

Heeehee! I'll try that one day!

But wait! IT'S ALL IN HIS HEAD!

Ha! I knew something was fishy with "reality" when they once again chose the "Nite Owl Motel".
I was kinda hoping that they would make a reference to "Live free or Twihard", but *sigh* not so much. (I realized while confirming my believe that the Nite Owl was used in that episode that it HAD been used before, in s5 (the one with Paris Hilton), so... I guess the Winchesters kinda like that chain?)
Other than that, I really enjoyed the part about Sam finding his missing pieces.

And then T-REX! No...DEMON CLOUD! AND THE IMPALA FLIPS!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooo.............

seriously, one of the worst parts of the cliffy! They have to fix her again! (I'd really love to get one more Dean-banging-the-hell-out-of-his-car-scene, please! He's got reasons enough, I'd say)

Dean tries to placate Castiel - thank you, you were right, we were wrong... ( ... )

Ha! I knew something was fishy with "reality" when they once again chose the "Nite Owl Motel".

Yes, I was getting confused because I pay attention to locations for timelining reasons - and I saw "Castle Storage" and "The Nite Owl" and I was like, ok, Castle Storage was in 5x01, and the Nite Owl was in S6, but where they in the same town? I don't remember that...

seriously, one of the worst parts of the cliffy! They have to fix her again!

I know! Please more greasy t-shirted Winchesters in the scrapyard scenes... that'd be nice.

I couldn't help but be reminded of so many shows or movies where the cops try to talk the dangerous and unhinged maniac into giving up. Just saying...

Haha, same here.

I sure hope they're not going the "shove it all down and take a happy-pill"-way that Dean's going until now. See the thing is, I don't think they're ignoring this storyline. I think the fact that they keep bringing up how much Dean drinks - how Sam refuses to take the pills that Dean keeps offering him - how Sam disapproves of the pills. ( ... )

See the thing is, I don't think they're ignoring this storyline. I think the fact that they keep bringing up how much Dean drinks - how Sam refuses to take the pills that Dean keeps offering him - how Sam disapproves of the pills. If they were ignoring the PTSD altogether, they wouldn't keep bringing it up...similarly to having Cas turn out to be a stoner in 2014!verse...there are consequences to repression and I'm not sure that they're ignoring that.Yeah, that's my impression too. The hints are there, but it wouldn't be the only time they'd just let them drop for the sake of some other story. But if you're still believing in them, I'll keep my faith a bit longer ( ... )

All this. I just watched and then came and read. I'm always surprised how close to my own ideas yours are.

hells_half_acre May 22 2011, 20:23:55 UTC

Great minds think alike.... ;)

dairygirl May 22 2011, 16:51:53 UTC

My only thought was at the end of the last episode: This is where they wanted to leave it? That is if Season 7 had not been on the books. Completely did not expect it but should have. Castiel is sneaky, Crowley will be back and I have no clue what kind of leverage Dean and Sam will need for the upcoming season. Now I'm going to have to watch it all again to to see what I missed.

hells_half_acre May 22 2011, 20:30:39 UTC

I think we can't really say "this is where they wanted to leave it if S7 had not been on the books" - because I really believe that it was just a matter of an official announcement. Everyone was very confident that they'd be renewed and I think they planned for S7 the whole time. Jensen and Jared had lengthened their contracts - the show was getting very good press (thanks to us) - and yeah, basically the whole thing was in the bag. I doubt anyone was nervous ( ... )
