TV: Supernatural

[Assassin]

damn fantastic episode. this show always keeps surprising you with better and better stuff. the demon sex thing was great, albeit a little creepy. im surprised dean wasn't more freaked out or outraged by it.

the thing with the girl who can hear the angels was a great angle i think. its kool that they've opened up the concept of humans being in tune with the good side of the spiritual world, and not just the bad side. and speaking of the land down under, whats the story with Alister? im guessing he was the 'warden' or head torturer in hell. i love that him and dean have history. and also that sam can't use the force to kill him. makes you wonder though, how powerful is Alister then? is he stronger then lilith? Cuz lilith (and not even samhain) could use thier demon flash to kill sam, but Alister was throwing the two around like rag dolls. should be interesting to see where he fits into all of this.

One thing that i've been wondering about is how these demons keep showing up. Didn't they say that even the demons hated hell, and had to crawl thier way out of hell to come top side? I though that was the whole point of exorcising demons, to send them back to hell. its not much use if they can just walk out whenever they please. So is hell a prison for both demons and humans, or is it home to demons and prison to humans, with the demons being the torturers?

[Munsu]

Jesus, Assassin, have you not been paying any attention????? It's all about the seals.

Yeah, I have no clue at the moment either.

Last episode was great. I only had 1 problem though. It just felt like the angels where weak.

Alister was pawning Castiel with no problem, and the other angel he didn't even try and back Castiel up. He was to busy picking on the weaklings. If Alister had succeded with whatever he was going to do to Castiel i can't see him having any problems to take the other one down. And i got the feeling Castiel was supposed to be some bad ass angel that would be stonger then that other one. So are angels just that weak and stupid or was it Alister that was so bad ass that he could take on everyone like that? And how come Anna could dispose of Alister that easily when Castiel could do nothing?

[Abdula]

I guess you weren't paying too much attention then. Dean mentioned something about Anna being some high ranking angel, and we know Allister is no average demon.

This episode was good but I didn't like the angel thing at all. I didn't like the fact that she was an angel, I didn't like the explanation for why she fell and I certainly didn't like the fact that a fallen angel can just go recover their grace and go back upstairs. It all felt too cheap. Other than that the episode was great and Dean, man, wow.

[Assassin]

ya i didn't enjoy where they went with the angel thing either....it felt too unrealistic compared to what we see 'angels' as normally. i also didn't like the fact that you can use earthly magic to fight angels......i dont care even if it is another angel doing it, no 'blood spell' should be able to banish angels. I am curious about that spell alistair was casting....that seemed like some super heavy infernal magic...he was one word away from destroying castiell.

and dean being a torturer....man, thats crazy.

[Munsu]

I think it's too late now to be worrying about "realistic magic afecting X". This show since the first episode has been all about bullshit problem solvers.

We have magic blades and magic bullets... come on...

[Assassin]

I know, but in my mind i set angles as being one (or several) step above all the other shit, what with them being divine and all. But i guess they dont wanna get into the god thing too much otherwise it'll be overkill.

True... the other side of it is that they're incapacitated by the human vessel they are using. So they have limitations in that regard, and probably weaknesses that come with it...weaknesses that they wouldn't otherwise have.

[saman]

okay, so, after missing the entire season save for the premiere and the very latest episode, i finally watched all the episodes, and i've got a bit of an issue with them. 40 years is a really long time, and dean is awfully calm for someone who just came out of hell after being there that long, being tortured and doing the torturing. shouldn't he be more emotionally scarred or something? like how angel was when he came back from hell in buffy? it doesn't seem realistic. i don't know, that just really bugs me.

otherwise, the season's been great. best part so far was during the ghost sickness episode when dean screamed and screamed after the cat jumped out of the locker.

Well, he's been drinking and apparently not sleeping much. But yeah, I agree with you.

Supernatural returned last Thursday. I thought it was a great episode, though there wasn't really any plot advancement... it was more of a "monster" of the week thing. But it was a really good one, with some interesting twists.

[Munsu]

Hmm, wierd that no one is discussing this since this has been one of the more popular series in here. Anyways, last Thursday's episode, the third one since the break, was very good... maybe one of my favorites. We get a ton of flashbacks to their teen years and we see them in a High School setting. Good stuff in my opinion.

[Penner]

yeah, this is indeed one of the best shows ever imo, but at the moment i really want to see more of the 'main plotline' with Lilith and Castiel and hell getting unleashed on earth and whatnot but its still nice to get some backstory on Dean and Sam.

[Assassin]

I wanna see more of the actual storyline as well, but i think its refreshing to see some character development every now and then. Especially if it involves highschool dean and sam. I really like how the episode ended, with the question of sam's happiness. I have a feeling we'll get some sort of unexpected twist from sam before the season is done.

[Abdula]

That is easily one of, if not my absolute favorite episode thus far. Not all that much happened in this episode and I don't really care for the back story but the directing and editing in that episode was superb.

[Munsu]

Last week's episode was a fun one, with the stripper plot. Also fun to see Dean get ignored as Sam gets the chick this week. The brothers' fight was nice to see too, though it was obviously a plot device to get things out in the open. I wonder if Ruby will get jealous.

Heard there was no Supernatural (or Smallville) this week... anyone seen anything?

[Penner]

Yeah good ep, and according to epguides.com the next smallville airs march 5th, supernatural it didnt say but they usually go hand in hand so i think it's safe to assume Supernatural also airs march 5th...

That kinda sucks but meh, what can you do :/

[Penner]

Yeah the awesome has returned!

Good ep, blind psychic chick died but the Angels got Alastair and Sammy and Dean prevented a sealbreak, so atleast they got something good out of her death ^^

[Assassin]

Yep, great episode as always...i like how the reaper implied that Dean mite still end up back in hell, and how the angels were only using him for thier own purpose.

Well based on everything we've seen so far that seems to be the angels' M.O. They use people and then discard them when they're no longer useful, its all about the big picture.

Forget Dean though, I need to know what the hell is up with Sam. Yeah he was powerful before but now he is pushing Alastair around.

And there are a ridiculous amount of spoilers floating around out there. There are episode summaries for all the remaining episodes of the season on Wikipedia
