Ah, 4.20 is one of my favorite eps, as I've already indicated. Curious to see your reaction.

If you got a grip, where would the fun be in that?

Can't it be both?
I don't even watch this show, but I read this thread for the entertainment factor.
~sigh~ I have *really* got to get a life. Maybe tomorrow.

I loved the episode title. It was a perfect "hang a lampshade on it" acknowledgment of the "introduce a new previously unknown sibling late in the series" tv trope. Second only to the episode titled:

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  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! 
I'm getting myself into a tailspin again. Must go get food and relax. Relax Cristina!

See? Incredible, right? Incredibly.... heartbreaking. I remember that I was just devastated by that ep when I first saw it. (And came away a lot more impressed with Misha Collins' acting ability. He seemed kind of one-note with Cas, but then you see that's not what he's actually like.)

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.

And shockingly, THIS is a completely appropriate reaction to the show, the story "so far" and to the way these brothers are written! 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.

Great recap of the major plot points of Season 5 here, for all who want to be reminded as photoshopgrl embarks. (Huge spoilers, naturally)

I don't even have words for how upsetting this episode was just now. I'm crying like a child. WTF! Literally wiping tears as I type. I'm gone off the reservation folks!
Must sit and process before I comment more.

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.

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.

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.

Yeah, the Supernatural threads have always been sporadic and sparse. I've never understood why...maybe it's not a show that everybody watches, but it certainly has a devoted following with a lot to discuss. Yet...sporadic and sparse.
Strange. Bizarre. Almost...supernatural!

I'm really not understanding how this show gets missed by so many (myself included before now). Travesty! We must work to fix this injustice!

1. It's on the CW
2. The lead actors look like they belong 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.

Just think, you could have deleted all those Supernatural files without watching them.

It's quite an accomplishment for a televison show to generate such feelings in its audiance, isn't it? And yet, they pull it off--somehow.

Yes Yes Yes. And I'm ready to admit it. This show is the best show on TV. Period.
As much as I love and rave endlessly about Breaking Bad, and as awesome I still think it is, it does not pull emotion from me like this. I don't think any show I have ever watched in my life has. It's crazy. Madness I tell you!

Just a warning--it takes a substantial drop in quality after the initial five-year run ends.
Season 6 & 7 are merely awesome. And sometimes it dips all the way down to great.

But compare the amount of episodes in this series just in 5 seasons to any of my favorite shows in the same amount of episodes. This show is "there must be someone seriously wrong with me to be so attached to characters on a TV show" level of awesome. There's no way it can dip too far down.

That's from a show called Supernatural. You should watch it; I think you'd like it.

This show. I am 5 mins into the finale. Bobby is berating Dean and I'm already tearing up.
"You stupid stupid son of a bitch! Well boo hoo. I am so sorry your feelings are hurt... princess! Are you under the impression that family's supposed to make you feel good? Make you an apple pie, maybe? They're supposed to make you miserable! That's why they're family."
I love him. Voice of reason!
