It's really just the finale. You think you have a general idea of where it's going as you approach it but you really don't have a clue, and when you find out, after you stop screaming you'll want to see where they could possibly go from there. And it takes all of Season 5 for them to get there.

Maybe time it so you hit the finale after you're done working for the week, so you'll have all weekend to finish up.
That's 23 episodes! I'm not sure I can physically watch that many in one weekend. How bad is this really going to be?? No don't tell me. Gah!

23 episodes * ~45 minutes = 17.25 hours

I cannot even imagine! I'm sure I'll be with you on this next season though. I really wish I had watched week to week only because there's sooooo much I wanted to talk about after each episode but they were all so long ago nobody remembers specifics to talk to me about or you're afraid to spoil something. So yeah, I get to watch all together but I do miss that part of it.

And I don't have a normal work schedule. I get home about 2:30pm. So yes, technically I could swing that many episodes from Friday to Sunday night.... but that also means getting to the finale by Friday and I don't see that happening as I actually have side work I put off from this past weekend that has to be done. :p

The good news is, the first five seasons were the originally-planned story-arc. And as you've noticed, it keeps getting more and more intense. But after the show "ended" (i.e., seasons 6 & 7), you don't have that building-for-years tension going on, and it's a lot easier to take.

I recall most of the major events of Season 4, I think, but I just sought out a review of the S4 finale to remind myself how things ended up. Whooboy that was a doozy of a cliffhanger, wasn't it?

I'll quote the following non-spoilery comment from the reviewer, which I agree with whole-heartedly:

Supernatural is so well written that it's a shame it's on the CW. Rich developing plot lines laced with insidiously well timed humor that doesn't distract from the moment is pure joy to experience.

Unlike the previous show on the hour before, this story flowed and had connecting points and closure with no questions. It was an incredible closer to the season and I look forward to next season.

This show needs to be on a different channel where it can get the ratings and exposure it deserves.

In my mind, while Supernatural tells an overall story, there are distinct eras. The first three seasons establish the baseline. Season four is where things kick into gear, and Season 5 starts the "modern era" of Supernatural. (We're currently in the post-modern era; things are still going strong, though maybe a little pear-shaped because who'd have anticipated there could be something after "modern"?)

This might give you an idea of how obsessed I've become with this show.
I'm literally sitting here with my calculator seeing if I can get to the Season 4 finale this week by Friday and then if I can get through Season 5 by Sunday. And gun to my head if I had to choose between the outcome of a cliffhanger of Supernatural or Breaking Bad right this minute, I'd choose Supernatural. :eek:

Granted, it's easier to say that because I'm right in the middle of this whirlwind of Supernatural watching and it's been months since Breaking Bad was on... but you get my point. :)

I admit, had this started on another network besides WB/CW I'd have probably watched it, or at least checked it out for Jensen. Why didn't someone smack me over the head before now to watch this show? And why isn't it getting rave reviews and much talk each episode, even on this forum? Or have I just missed the threads?

You haven't really missed the threads. They're there, but not for every episode. And a bunch of the threads contain comments along the lines of "why the heck aren't these threads more lively? People need to be watching this!" I guess when a show is controversial or confusing, it engenders discussion and debate. When it is just good and logical, though, it doesn't get as much play because there's not as much to pull apart?

For what it's worth (not much), I wrote a bunch of reviews/recaps of Supernatural for a television podcast/blog a while back. I think I reviewed every episode of season 4, and about half of season 5, before I burned out (not on the show, but on writing the reviews). I fully admit that my reviews were kind of "out there" sometimes, but if you want someone to talk about each episode with, the reviews I wrote definitely stand for my thoughts on them and I'd be happy to discuss them with you. (Each review only garnered at most a comment or two at the time, many none at all). They started as pretty straight-up recaps, but as weeks went on they got more and more tangential. My first write-up for the site was a "road so far" sort of primer that I wrote in order to try to entice new viewers to check the show out. I wrote it just before Season 4 started. It's here (http://www.televisionzombies.com/category/supernatural/page/4/), at the bottom of the page.

Now that you've seen Ghostfacers, you'd also appreciate the Ghostfacers spinoff webisode stuff that's out there. I think there were at least a couple of web-only Ghostfacer minisodes. I don't recall them being spoilery as far as the main storyline of Supernatural goes, but you should probably still watch them only after being caught up to wherever the series proper was when they aired, just in case.

"we need more grub. And be sure to get PIE!" Dean and his pie...

Well Cristina, your enthusiasm has inspired me. I started watching the reruns on TNT. Bad news: I really dislike the way TNT runs its shows, the bugs, the many. MANY snipes, the next show opening OVER the last show's credits in a side-by-side fashion.:( The good news: they are in order, so far and they show ten episodes a week, which is pretty aggressive pace for watching it every day (about a season every two and a half weeks). A few of those episodes I can barely rmember, but I DO remember that they were pretty good.

I too was trying to come up with a fake spoiler for fun, but really can't think of anything far out enough... (Don't read.)
Like when they tried to kill God, or when they themselves were killed and had to break out of Heaven to get back to earth. Both of these situations sound like good over-the-top comic "boasts" about the show, but in a sense, they both really happened in the show. It seems amazing that ANYONE could pull off anything THAT outragous and ambitious, but they did it!
This show really just delivers the goods, as it were.

I can deal with them having these horrible lives but I am hating that they can't just be on the same page ever. Sam you fracking moron. You just got your brother back from hell. HELL!

Okay and about Yellow Fever: Did fans really think Dean got the virus because he's a dick? From Dan's blog post, I see that Kripke responded to fans with this: “So I’ve never before responded directly to the fandom’s comments about an episode, and I don’t plan to make a habit of it, but I couldn’t resist dropping in a thought about the episode “Yellow Fever.”

Which is this:

Dean is not a dick.

None of the writers, or anyone on the creative team of SUPERNATURAL, think Dean’s ever been a dick, past, present, or future. He’s a hero. Dean did NOT contract the ghost sickness because he’s a dick. Victims contract the illness because they use “fear as a weapon.” Dean asks Lilith at the episode’s end, “why did I get infected?” And she cryptically responds, “you know why. Listen to your heart.” We, as the writers, probably should have emphasized this mystery more, I take responsibility for that omission. But the point is: the reason he was infected is because of a SECRET he’s keeping. A dark secret that will be revealed in Episode 10. And not at all because of any dickishness, implied or otherwise.”I would never in a million years consider Dean a dick. He's smarmy at times and kind of a lover of the ladies and has a sharp tongue and a short fuse but indeed he's a hero and he cares more about everyone but himself when it comes right down to it. He sacrificed his life, his soul for his brother. He literally went to hell so his brother could live. Nobody that does that could ever ever be called a dick IMO.

Jensen was pure gold the entire episode. Then the bonus video at the end was the best. I also watched quite a few early interviews from 08-09 and these two are just fun to watch and they both have a contagious personality so it's no wonder they have such great presence together on the show.

I was trying to find a return date for Season 8 (without reading any spoilers, this isn't easy) but I think it's Oct 10 from what I can find... and I came across this tidbit. I didn't read the rest of the article since I'm sure there's mentions of things I haven't seen yet but SpoilerTV posted this blurb. Apparently Jensen is directing the season premier! (also sorry if this isn't news to anyone)
"We don't get a very long break -- it's about two and a half months," Ackles explained. "I actually have to go back early because I'm going to direct the first episode [of Supernatural]. My break is even a littler shorter, but we try to make the most of it. It's not optimal, but as I always say, it's a good problem to have!"

Okay sorry if I'm bugging you all but I can't stop. :)

Reading interviews with the cast, Jensen is very open, I love it. A couple of quotes that make me adore him even more.

Jared and I are lucky to get along so well without having any effort to make. One day, the producers came to see us and told us they had never worked with actors who got along so well. It gives us the opportunity to make the relationship between Sam and Dean have credibility. I think the audience feels how much Jared and I like being together.
Some people will go to the opening of an envelope. They live their lives in the public eye and get off on it, they need it. They need that kind of adoration. If their name isn't in the tabloids once a week they feel like a failure. I choose to live a more private life, as does Jared [Padalecki]. We just don't believe in that sort of thing of 'it doesn't matter what they're saying so long as they're talking about you'.

*unspoiling now that Cristina's past this point* <spoiler>I'm curious to see how Cristina reacts to Bella. Most everyone I have spoken with really hated the character.</spoiler>So I finished Episode 6 before bed. I'm tempted to see how many more I'm going to have to endure of Bella. Even the name is annoying. Hated the actress on TVD and hate her on Walking Dead. She's not as grating on this but I still don't like episodes that she's so featured in like this last one. And hello boys, can we get a clue that this bitch is always going to pull a fast one on you? Even though they saved her life, she'll do it again. I'm over it already.
(although I did crack up at her telling Dean they should have hate sex and his response is to cover himself and say "don't objectify me!" ha!)Well that didn't take long to find out :D Christina is in the majority on this.

Honestly I didn't hate the character at first, it was more the actress that I haven't liked in anything I've seen her in. Then the character kept screwing over the boys and made me hate her.

Weirdly enough, I liked Ruby so much better with the other actress. This one isn't a bad actress, I just don't think she plays the character as well.

One of the great things about this show is that it's so bizarre, so out-in-left-field, that even if you get a spoiler, without the context you will not understand it (even if it seems plain and simple). E.g., the bit earlier about Sam & Dean's parents is completely different in the context of Mom being the original hunter, not Dad. So even if you know something that's going to happen, the how and why of it will still often surprise you.

Honestly I didn't hate the character at first, it was more the actress that I haven't liked in anything I've seen her in. Then the character kept screwing over the boys and made me hate her.

Weirdly enough, I liked Ruby so much better with the other actress. This one isn't a bad actress, I just don't think she plays the character as well.

Most people seemed to like Ruby 1.0 much better than Ruby 2.0. And for the same reason. 2.0 doesn't seem to have the range that the first Ruby did.

Unless someone tells me it's not an event spoiler I don't click. If it's just about how the show will make me react, as we were discussing yesterday, then I'll probably look. It's a slippery slope for me though. I want to know some things but not others.

Right. When my mom said that I had an entirely different idea of how that would turn out. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would be mom and her parents and not John at all at the start. I like to be shocked and this show delivers shocks very very well.

Also now that I know who Castiel is (do fans call him Cas since Dean called him that?) and I know he's on the show long term from here out, is he a popular character with fans? I don't even know if Bobby is either. I can't imagine he wouldn't be. I think it's usually the girls that fans seem to react negatively toward.

But they were watching live before knowing about her and Jared obviously since they hadn't hooked up yet. I'm wondering if she'd be more or less liked coming on the show today. I think had TVRage credited the actress as "Padalecki" (or if I had looked her up) it would have clicked but in the episode credits they are still billing her as Genevieve Cortese so I didn't think twice of it.

I have no logical reason. Sometimes you just don't like an actor/actress for some reason. Sometimes my dislike will carry over from some other knowledge I have of them (like Mathew McConaughey or Ellen Pompeo) and dislike them in everything no matter what. With her, I don't know anything about her and had never seen her before she was on TVD but something about her just rubs me wrong and I don't know what.

Probably. But then... if I recall correctly there was some throw away dialog from one angel or another that implied that the brothers had each possibly died several more 'offscreen'.

Spoiler-tagged because I'm not sure where Cristina is, episode-wise, but I love Cas, and my two favorite Cas-centric episodes are:

4.20 "The Rapture", where we find out that Castiel's human vessel - Jimmy - has a much higher voice than Cas does. Misha Collins was great in this ep, as he finally got to play something non-deadpan.

5.04 "The End", where we find out that alt-future Cas is a stoner hippie nympho. :D

You don't really expect any of us to answer that question, or comment on YOUR comment, do you? For someone who wants to avoid spoilers, but bursting with curiosity, it's a difficult tightrope journey. You really don't want preliminary answers to these questions, just wait and enjoy it. You are seeing the series A LOT more compressed than any of us have. Imagine spending seven years getting to the point we are at today instead of ~14 weeks (or however long it will take you).:) Cas, like all the characters, has an arc. His character was as long-term determined as any of the others (I think, at least he is written that way).

Yeah, don't read. The non-spoiler version is that my two favorite Cas episodes are 4.20 and 5.04, for very different reasons. So you should be up to them by tomorrow or thereabouts? ;)

Just keep watching at a pace you are comfortable with, or at least, not too UNcomfortable with, and quit asking about future developments. We get it, you are really curious!

I am reminded of a converation with JMS (the producer of Babylon 5). During an epipsode that took place 20 years (or so) into the future of "current events", G'Kar was wearing an eye patch. Someone on-line asked JMS when exactly did G'Kar lost his eye. JMS replied offhandedly something like, "if I tell you that he loses it in episode 3.20, wouldn't that kill the suspense or anticipation? The person agreed, and the comveration was promptly forgotten. BUT, he was so crafty, beacuse the episode number he had called out was in fact the episode that G'Kar loses his eye!:eek: Only a lot later did anyone call JMS on that. He laughed because he was wondering how long it would take for anyone to remember that he had given it away when he sounded like he had no intention of giving it away.

Enjoy the ride!

I also have to leave my own religious upbringing out of this equation. This is fiction. Heaven and Hell can be however they choose it to be, just like ghosts and goblins. They make the rules.

Okay so clearly Cas is a big picture kind of guy. BUT even as he's following God's commands, he's questioning things because well... because some of this is really fracked up! This other angel is getting off on all this, I'm not even sure how he's an angel!!

So maybe Ruby is in love with Sam. They've shown that love makes you go to extremes on this show. If that's the case then maybe she's really wanting to help. You'd think if she was secretly out to screw them over, the all knowing angels would figure that out right fast and put a stop to it or her. They didn't even really bat an eye when they saw her. hmmm...

So quite a bit of revaluation about Dean's time in Hell. 40 years. Wow. And then the angels forcing him to choose between Anna and Sam as if there would ever be a choice.

How is Alastair upstairs now if he was the one torturing Dean everyday?

And Sam is off to do God knows what in an effort to take on Lillith. What part of God doesn't want him using his power doesn't he get? And I assume they don't want him to because although it's for good now the more power he gets the more it's going to turn him dark.

Just finished 04x15 - Death Takes a Holiday... where Alastair is kidnapping reapers. So we have Tessa, the reaper telling Dean the angels are using him, basically and not for good. Then we have Pamela, the psychic telling Sam she knows he thinks he's using his abilities for good but sees the darkness inside him. So these boys are basically fracked all around. As usual! At least the show is consistent on that. :D

The synopsis on the next one is worrisome. I'm ready for Uriel to take a hike. Hate him. Still liking Cas even though he confuses me on the "is he good or is he bad" thing. But I'm pretty sure that's the intention right now.

I was begging the TV to let Cas lie to him but I knew he wouldn't. Cas, can't you just give him a little forehead touch and make him forget some of this misery? I'd think it would better serve everyone, no??

And WTF! Sam is now DRINKING her blood?? Oh good fracking God. Oh this is not going to end well.

On the plus side, what was it I was just saying? Tired of Uriel and bye bye! So can I assume that he's gone for good since Sam has super demon powers now? Just wait til Dean find this one out.

I burned through the Supernatural series between last fall and spring this year - it really hit a great sweet spot in seasons three through five. I saw that Ben Edlund wrote a bunch of my favorite episodes, and only later realized this was the same guy who made The Tick comic. Once I realized that, I could definitely see the same trademark cleverness and absurd humor.

One thing I always wondered about, though - is how easily he was able to readjust to life after 40 years of hell. After forty years of anything, would you remember the callsigns to your favorite radio stations? What about the lyrics to songs? I think about people from high school I knew - I'm not even forty years old yet - and already my memory of many classmates is faded tremendously.

And if his job was being a hunter, knowing secrets, having a laundry list of monster types and the various weapons/ingredients you need to kill different kinds of baddies. How in the world is that something he can remember clearly? Heck, does he remember how to parrallel park? What to do at a stop sign when four people drive up simultaneously?

He hasn't driven in four decades.. Just the everyday implications of this must be incredibly debilitating. His email password, phone numbers for contacts and loved ones, safe deposit boxes and addresses.. crazy.

I think time in hell must be different than time on Earth. Maybe he has both the 40 years of experience there, and the experience of having been here a few months ago, simultaneously.

Was going to say basically the same thing.

I agree with all of this. He even said time was different down there. I'm sure in many ways he feels like he was just here with his brother 4 months before and in other ways it's very clear all the pain and misery of that time in Hell is still very fresh and vivid in his mind. I can't even imagine what that would be like.

As you can tell from watching this show as far as you've gotten, it is not a simple matter of angels good, demons bad. Both angels and demons have their own agenda, and both use humans to fulfill that agenda, and whether thats good for the humans, or bad, is immaterial to either of them.

Sure he was protecting him but all that time he was off gallivanting around with "the bastard", he could have spent just a tad more time with his other sons doing things other than hunting...... or making Dean be the parent half the time. Sad and disheartening. Makes me like John less. They had me though. I figured a twist was coming but I didn't see the son being in on it too. Poor Sam, that's gonna leave a mark!!

Wow. Poor Jimmy. (every episode I think I say "poor xxx" about someone. Happy ending? Not on this bitch!)

Jimmy thought he was doing God's work but what really is God's work at this point? Do the angels even know?? Cas kept his word but at the same time was going to take his daughter so now Jimmy is no more. Another person who sacrifices themselves for the ones they love.

Sam the nice sweet boy from Season 1 is so far gone. I'd say the new look is fitting. That other hair was too nice for who he's become. I know he thinks he's the good guy but I'm starting to think he's so focused on killing Lillith at this point that he can't see just how far gone he is. And I swear my face went :eek::eek::eek::eek: when he started sucking that demon's blood right there in front of Dean. Dean's right, he's becoming something they hunt. This is soooo bad. So so bad. I knew it was going to be but gah. This sucks. And by sucks I mean this fracking show is so damn good I can't stand it.

And speaking of, where the F was Ruby? I swear she's screwing him over. I just know it. I thought for a second there she might be good but no. I'm back on the "she's playing the long con" theory. Hell maybe killing Lillith breaks the final seal and out comes Lucifer! She's so bent on getting him to the point of doing so. Why haven't the other demons all hunted her ass down if she's such a traitor?? Oh man. I know that's it. Don't even tell me if I'm right or wrong. My gut hurts just thinking about it.

Dean is going to side with Cas, obviously. Sam is going to be on the opposite side of this war without even realizing it. So they will be pitted against each other. That's why ya'll keep telling me this will go through Season 5. They are going to be separated and against each other all season, aren't they? Oh no no no no. I can't handle that if so! :o

Yes!

What's strange to me is that I swore I knew Misha Collins before this show. His name was familiar and his face was familiar. I look at his body of work on IMDB and I don't think I've seen anything he's been in. But yes, I am glad we got to see some range from him. I expect eventually Cas will get more depth as a character and we'll see it again.

So much to process.
Cas let Sam out. WHY? After all his "stop your brother or we will" BS to Dean. Dean swore loyalty to him. I like him much less now. And even as I type that I realize he's also fighting with himself. You can see it every time he does something screwed up like this. I need more backstory on Cas.

I was so pissed at Sam the last episode but this one just broke it down. All I feel now is utter sadness for both brothers. That fist fight was really really hard to watch. Sam actually started to strangle his brother. You know the brother that WENT TO HELL FOR YOU! And this is how he's thanked? I can't even blame Sam anymore. He's totally being manipulated by Ruby and her "poison" as Dean said. And I know I'm right. I know killing Lillith is the final seal. It has to be at this point. He's walking right into it. How the F can you not trust Dean over her? I just can't understand it. Addiction indeed.

And Dean. Ugh. Bobby told you to not fight with him. You just couldn't help yourself could you? Calling him a monster? The very thing he's been so deeply afraid of becoming this entire time. Regardless if it's true or not. Those are words that just can't be undone.

I just don't know how they come back from this. :(

And the finale episode title makes it pretty clear they are going to fail on the keeping Lucifer from getting out thing. So all this will have been for nothing. Ugh. My heart is broken. :o

This is why so many of us are following your reactions to this show. We felt a lot of the same emotions when we first viewed the episodes, and we're reliving our own feelings through your posts. It's fun to see someone getting as caught up in this show as the rest of us!
Well that's somewhat comforting because I feel like I'm totally overreacting to a TV show yet I am unable to control it. :)

I made the mistake of reading the synopsis on TVRage for the finale. Not that it gave much away but it did confirm my thoughts that they would be on opposite sides. Not that I had any doubt about that after the way the last episode ended.
Finale Synopsis:

Lucifer Rising
On the eve of the Apocalypse, Lilith plans to open the last seal and Dean and Sam find themselves on opposing sides. Zachariah reveals Heaven's intentions and Castiel must make a choice. And the nature of the last seal is revealed.

06-29-2012, 09:08 AM

And shockingly, THIS is a completely appropriate reaction to the show, the story "so far" and to the way these brothers are written! :eek: I think we all thought like this when this was the current episode. The old threads for these episodes are probably still around archived somewhere. If you look them up, I'll bet there are several people with similar reactions. What other show makes you feel both angry at, and sympathy for, the characters so consistently? Jimmy Novaks really got a raw deal, on so many levels. What did he say exactly, it's like being chained to a comet, or something like that. I'll bet! Watching the show the way you are is also like being chained to a comet.
I looked up the old threads but there's such little conversation in them. Very disappointing. You all best prepare for my book posts come Season 8! I expect interaction!

And yes, chained to a comet is exactly how I feel watching this so fast.

1. It's on the CW

3. The show title is very generic

It's a triple whammy that keeps the show off of the radar of many people who would surely be fans if they just watched an episode.
You're right of course because although I already liked Jensen, it wasn't for his awesome acting on Dark Angel. I mean, I don't recall him being terrible but it was more the superficial thing.....which of course, for me, isn't enough to get me to watch [what I thought was] a cheesy show on the CW. :)
And of course now I can't even recall what it was that made me start downloading it. I grabbed Season 1-6 on torrents before Season 7 started and was grabbing them each week as it went. But it wasn't until I was getting the finale that I thought I should watch or delete because those files were taking up quite a bit of space.

Unfortunately, this is quite true. The quality just couldn't be maintained for any longer, so yes, it dips to outstanding, and even as far down as terrific at times. It is STILL one of the best plotted shows on television.

Unlike some (most) shows, the issues are not always, or even usually, resolved in one or two episodes. There is maneuvering, planning, strategy, and (again usually) panic before action.:D

And then the climactic battle between good and evil comes at the end of Season 4; evil wins; the apocalypse comes; it's more or less San & Dean's fault; and Season 5 is all about dealing with the aftermath of the apocalypse. Which they caused.

Really, how many network TV shows would have the balls to even try pulling that one off?

Exactly. This show has huge aspirations, but it regularly exceeds them. Expectations are set, then fulfilled in surprising ways more satisfying than you could have imagined. And the show never cheats or takes shortcuts to do it.

One other example would be Dean's year (or 40) in Hell. Remember when photoshopgrl commented:

I can't wait to see how they are going to get Dean out of his 1 year contract without Sam dying. I assume, even with the shortened season that's where we'll be by the end of Season 3.

I enjoyed reading that, knowing as we did that the answer was that Dean DIDN'T get out of his contract.

THIS!!
I read in an interview last night while my power was out... not sure if it was Jensen or Jared but they said pretty much the same thing. And after Dean went to hell when I was sure they'd save him at the last minute, I started getting that sinking feeling they wouldn't save the world and I was right.
Funny that even though I predicted Lillith being the last seal, I still didn't see it coming the way it went down and it still gut punched me the way it all played out (with Dean banging on the door, Sam getting his black eyes). Then Sam........jeesh... just that few seconds when he realized he had been played. SUCH great acting. These two guys just amaze me so much with how great they are. The writing is phenomenal but without their acting ability and the way they are able to just 100% sell these two and their relationship, it could come off as so corny. And it never does. Never.

Couple more comments on episodes I watched last night. I am about to start on 05x03.

I really hope Bobby isn't wheelchair bound for good. That would suck.

And the look on Sam's face when (what he thought was Bobby) he told him this: "Oh, yeah? You're sorry you started Armageddon? This kind of thing don't get forgiven, boy. If, by some miracle we pull this off... I want you to lose my number. You understand me?" was ugh... so painful to watch. Jared does that hurt puppy look like no other. I was so mad at Bobby at that moment that I was relieved he was being possessed. Then I was so happy that they didn't forget to go back to that later and make sure that Bobby told Sam "that was the demon talking. I ain't cutting you out, boy. Not ever".

But I do have a question, how did they manage that? I thought Bobby, like the boys, had taken precautions to prevent demons from being able to get to them.

Wow, I cannot believe how quickly you are getting through this series. I'm still on Season 1. I was hoping to get caught up this summer, but not looking like it's going to happen. But it's great to read about how much you are enjoying the show. Someday I'll be able to join in!

One thing you are missing by watching now, after the fact, is some of the off-show antics which occasionally happened. Take, for example, this snippet describing something that transpired at the start of season 5:

The season 5 premiere of Supernatural was preceded by the launch of a surprising and effective Twitter campaign in which fans used the hash tag "#LuciferIsComing" to raise awareness for Supernatural. Sadly, that endeavor was cut short when a group of all-too-serious people, scared that Satanists were taking over Twitter, fought back with "#GodIsHere."

The origin of this counterattack was none other than music mogul P. Diddy, so this week, led by none other than Misha Collins, the Twitterverse will once again be the board on which an epic game is played.

At Misha's behest, fans should use the hash tag "#PDiddyIsScaredOfHisTV" this Thursday to both promote another new episode of Supernatural and to strike back against the man who shut down last week's campaign.

Along similar lines, (plot spoiler for S06E16):

Misha, playing himself, tweeted several times during the episode. Simultaneously with those moments as the show aired, Misha tweeted the same thing he tweeted on screen. As described in more detail here:

Misha Collins spent a lot of time on Twitter in the episode, and at one point he tweets "Ola mishamigos! J2 got me good. Really starting to feel like one of the guys." Just to really mess with our mind, the real Misha actually sent that tweet as the line aired in the US east coast run of the episode. Misha Collins and Misha also both tweeted "IMHO j&j had a late one last night. Rotflmfao!". After both these tweets, Misha then relates, "My phone was stolen and apparently cast into a parallel universe devoid of magic. I've retrieved it. I promise it won't happen again". All three tweets were retweeted by over 100 people in a matter of hours and then vanished from Misha's twitter feed. A few hours later, they were reposted, but the direct links to the original tweets still work.
The words: #Misha, #metamadness and #kripke all made it into the top ten Trending Topics as the episode went to air.

Oh thank God. They are back! I really expected this to go on all season. The future was awful except Cas was hilarious. And it's now become the norm that at least one scene per episode makes me tear up. Next synopsis looks like we are going back to monster of the week. I'm good with that.

Honestly, yeah I could have. They killed Ruby and although they failed to stop Lucifer coming, they were side by side as it was going down. If you read back my posts, you'll see where I was screaming. It was when they changed Dean's VM and Sam was listening to it and Ruby was smirking in the background. I nearly threw something across my room.

Okay so I'm guessing Jesse will come into play again before this is all over. And since we know it was a 5 year plan on this story I can safely assume that finally (and for once) they win. I see Jesse being a big part of that win. Him turning Cas into an action figure was kind of funny. And the whoopie cushion made me laugh hard.

And again Sam kills me. He really is punishing himself. Every episode so far this season I have felt serious anguish for both but mostly him. How can you ever make up for siding with a demon over your brother ... The brother that chose going to Hell over losing you? Gah.

"We done feeling our feelings? Cause I'd like to get out of this room before we both start growing lady parts."

And the synopsis already gave away the next episode. First it's done that.

While investigating a decapitation in Ohio, the brothers discover that the Trickster is responsible, and has pulled them into a TV reality where they are forced to play out the roles of TV characters to escape... or die.

Well first the funny. I was laughing soooo hard between the sitcom version of Supernatural and them totally poking at Grey's Anatomy and CSI. All their Caruso sunglasses one liners was hilarious! And I want that Supernatural opening on loop. I'm shocked at all my YouTube searching that have never come across that. That's gold. I really enjoyed most of this episode but as in true SPN form, on a dime they turn it right back to serious business. So the Trixter has always been Gabriel. That explains why the stakes never worked! I was curious about that. When Cas said something was off I immediately thought it was Zachariah again and kept waiting for the Trixter to morph into him. As usual, right hook to the temple. Never what you expect. And that's why I was jumping up and down over figuring out the Lillith thing.

Synopsis for the next one looks good too.

One funny thing you probably didn't pick up on unless you happen to speak Japanese:

In the game show, the host asks "What is the name of the demon you betrayed your brother for?" and the English translation is subtitled at the bottom of the screen. Sam responds "I don't know what you're saying - I don't speak Japanese!" Before repeating the question, the host says in Japanese (this part doesn't get subtitled) "Read the subtitles, then!"
I did miss that but just now as I was emptying my dishwasher, something else dawned on me.

During the Grey's spoof, Dean points out Denny the ghost, who was played by JDM!

http://seekup.org/smileys/rofl.gif

Dean: And there's Johnny Drake. Well, he's not even alive, he's a ghost in the mind of... of her. The sexy but neurotic doctor over there.
Sam: So... this show has ghosts? Why?
Dean: I don't know. It is compelling.

I knew it was not going to end since it's far too early in the season but did not expect them to actually get the chance to shoot and it not matter. Screwed at every turn! The girl that plays Meg now is really good because I can't wait to watch her die.

True but now if they show up again it means they are in someone's mind or a ghost. Not really the same.

Just finished up 05x12 with the kid swapping bodies with Sam. If they can't be possessed, how can that work? I'm confused. Sam needs to loosen up a bit. I know it's not in his nature but there were several things in this episode that showed how much better their co-existence could be if he would just relax. He really does have some deep seated rage. Hopefully that will be a good thing come season end. Then again, who's to say that Dean's way is any better. You can only bury your issues for so long before you snap and it all comes boiling out. Eeep!

And Dean was the start of it all. Not to mention the entire "vessel" thing between them. And the fact that their destiny seems to indicate one of them will kill the other while they've spent their entire existence sacrificing themselves for the other. These boys have serious issues. That doctor in the mental hospital was right. How do they get up in the morning with the weight of [literally] the entire world on their shoulders? I'd drink too. Lots.

07-01-2012, 11:36 AM

Okay so I just finished 05x17. Dean is about to go say yes to Michael and I'm so not happy about that. Sam just told him he couldn't do this without him. So that means he'll end up giving into Lucifer and they'll fulfill their "destiny". This is not how this is supposed to go damnit! I'm getting more and more worried about the ending of this season. This show never lets the good guys win (aka Sam and Dean) so once they knew they were renewed past Season 5, I have a feeling they spun things around a bit here toward the end. Otherwise, if they defeat Lucifer and he goes back to Hell then the angels won't need to bug them and what..... we are just back to monster of the week with no other arc? hmmm Maybe that's why everyone keeps saying the show gets not as fantastic after this season. Ugh. Here I go tailspinning again.

A couple of other random thoughts on the episodes I've watched so far. I am so in love with Cas now. His character is awesome. Drunk Cas was hilarious. Now I know what Luke meant about his deadpan delivery. It's great.

I'm annoyed that Dean tossed that necklace into the trash. If nothing else, that was the one thing he always kept from Sam. Sam kept it when Dean went to Hell and it was the first thing he gave back to him. That necklace means a hell of a lot more than just a way to find God. Not cool. I hope Sam picked it back up out of the trash.

The Valentine's Day episode freaked me out a bit. I knew somehow Sam was going to get demon blood. I really wish we'd find out that he has that in him all along without the need of the blood. He could then truly use his ability for good without all the guilt.

When they were shot and killed in the first 30 seconds of the episode on 05x16, I was floored. Clearly it wasn't going to stick but it was out of left field and caught me totally off guard. I was going on to the next so I didn't even read the synopsis on that one or I'd have known it was coming. Kind of glad I didn't.

So God really is done helping? At least we found out that he's who put them on the plane when Lucifer was set free. And we know he's on earth but WHY? What the F is he doing down here if he wants no part of it all?

And all this just makes me think that kid Jesse has to come back into play. Why even bother with that episode if he was going to be meaningless in the end?

Okay on to the next!

Wow! This episode kicked so much ass I don't know where to begin! First of all go badass Cas!! I was actually rooting for him when he was kicking Dean's ass! Who'd a thought?? Dean really pissed me off this episode. He had just totally given up and no matter who had given up what for him he was ready to throw it all away. But what a thing of beauty when I saw him look at Sam and such amazing acting because just a flash in his eyes and I knew he had changed his heart. Then the half smile and wink was perfection. I really don't think I could love these guys more. And as usual, poor Sam. He's trying so hard to hold them together and Dean was just defeating him at every turn. So glad he came through in the end. These two together make me far happier than I should ever admit.

Okay just finished 05x19. Sad that Gabriel was actually on their side and Lucifer stabbed him. But now we find out how to win! Since it's been pretty clear there's no way to kill Lucifer without allowing Michael to "wear Dean to the prom" (heee) now we have new hope. I have no idea how the hell they can pull this off but I'm feeling more optimistic about their chances. Three more for the season! I assume like every other season that we'll have a cliff hanger and I'll be inclined to continue to at least the first episode of Season 6 so I'm glad I have plenty of time left in the day to do so.

When you finish the season..
Season 5 was a good ending to the show. So much that I, and I believe a lot of others, approached season 6 with some hesitance. That said 6 and 7 aren't bad, but just how do you follow up the 5 season long story arc? It's pretty hard to follow especially such a satisfactory ending. Seasons 6 and 7 are pretty good TV all the same.

Is he just another human or has he lost his grace or is it just that it's all just fading the longer he's out of heaven? Dean lied to Death's face? Ummm stupid. Starting to think I was wrong about Jesse coming back into play. Still cannot put my finger on Crowley. It's kind of how I felt about Ruby in the beginning and look how that turned out. Ugh. Demons.

I think one big problem the show faced at this point is that it really was intended to run only five seasons...by the time they decided to continue, the fifth season was blocked (and probably mostly written), so they didn't have time to make the sixth season flow from elements in earlier years like they'd been doing in the past. Plus, the show's creator (Eric Kripke) DID leave, and while the new show-runner (Sera Gamble) had been with Supernatural since the beginning, this was her first time out in charge. So since it was basically going from a standing start for the first time since the series premiere, it took a while to get the momentum going again.

Ha! Thee Wikipedia synopsis for Season 6 is great:

Dean and Sam fight monsters.

Okay I will trust them. Everyone just kept talking about the quality going down and then I get hit with such a massive difference in characters and how after 5 seasons I'm pretty sure they would act and it's not that. So I am trying not to freak out and will just assume here out that it's part of the plan, that I'm supposed to feel this way and go with it. :up:

I just wanted to point out that I don't think that anyone said you should stop watching after Season 5, just that Seasons 6 and 7 weren't as awesome as the previous five.
Especially after that gut wrenching Season 5 finale.

It's still pretty darn good once those bumps Rob mentioned are smoothed out.

Several of us had similar complaints about how Sam was acting in the beginning of Season 6 but you're going to have to trust me when I say that there is a reason and it's not bad writing.

No, nobody said to stop watching just that the quality of the show declined somewhat. So with that in the back of my mind and then seeing these guys act soooo out of character I just thought maybe that was the quality you all meant and if so then I wasn't going to bother because that bond between the brothers is the reason I watch. And as gut wrenching as that finale was to just have things go so weird right away was not okay with me. Again, I don't care about storylines or monsters of the week, I'll take whatever they want to give me at this point. Just don't mess with my characters!

And where's Cas? I know he can't be gone because he's on the media for Season 7 :D

Okay FYI about how worked up this has me. My boss is on vacation this week and since I get to work so much earlier than most, I'm watching Episode 3 on my iPad. I have to know WTF is going on!!

Okay I totally got this now. Between your hints here and all the anvils from episode 3...... Sam doesn't have his soul. Right? I'm right, aren't I??

If I'm right that still doesn't explain Bobby knowing he was back for a year and not telling Dean. Is Bobby missing his soul too? Oh wait, that's right!!!!!! He sold his soul to Crowley! Crowley is behind all this, isn't he?? Rob mentioned Crowley in his sig apparently so that means we will see him again. I'm connecting the dots now. I feel very pleased with myself. (and I'll feel really stupid if I'm wrong now!)

Okay all that aside, this episode did feel more like my show. Maybe it was just missing Sam & Dean on the road together and Cas. So why would Sam leave all the other hunters though? He's been with them for a year. There's still something not right in that camp too. I'm still curious how grandpa Skinner is back from the dead. Unless he wasn't really in Heaven.

Enjoyed Sabastian Roche though. I'm sure we'll see him again. Glad he and Cas didn't try to tear each other a new one. Cas can't be constantly battling other angels! I thought he had so many on his side yet we never see a single one of them.

Also there was plenty of laughable, quotable moments this episode!

Dean: Well, let's give it a shot. Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray to Castiel to get his feathery ass down here.
Sam: You're an idiot.
Dean: Stay positive.
Sam: Oh, I am positive.

Cas and his air quotes. WTF was that about? Haha!
Cas: Sam, Dean, my "people skills" are "rusty." Pardon me, but I have spent the last year as a multidimensional wavelength of celestial intent.

And my favorite that actually did make me laugh out loud:
Dean: Too many angels, Cass! I don't know who's on first, what's on second.
Castiel: What is "second"?
Dean: Don't start that.
