Fantastical Musings

Who would have thought that the devil could be so persuasive?  I mean, I guess they call him the Prince of Lies for a reason, but I was surprised by how reasonable and plausible some of his arguments were. He even had me believing him for half a second! I guess that’s because every good lie has a grain of truth. And, Lucifer was correct about a lot of the things that he said. The worst thing that Sam ever did was not looking for Dean after he went to purgatory, and Sam has been guilty of a lot of selfishness and bad decisions. Lucifer was very smart to take that approach with Sam; it was much more likely to work than torture.  However, that doesn’t mean that letting Lucifer in was the correct thing to do. I’m very, very, VERY glad that Sam had the willpower and strength to say no to Lucifer. However, I’m very surprised that Cas was stupid enough to say yes to him. He should know better! I’m guessing that what Ambriel said about being expendable got to him. All the same, I thin...

This episode was fantastically weird. The entire time I was watching it, I was thinking “this is such a strange episode.” However, it was also fantastically good!  First of all, I think we need to talk about Dean and Amara’s relationship. They have got some kind of bond that I absolutely cannot understand in any way. It’s both fascinating and also sort of weird and disturbing. However, it’s much less disturbing now that Amara has an adult body and isn’t a little girl anymore.  Speaking of Amara, she is REALLY getting scary. If lightning strikes and water turning into blood wasn’t bad enough, killing those angels certainly was. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that God’s sister has that much power, but it is freaky to see someone destroy angels so easily. (Not that I’m the biggest fan of angels or anything like that). On the flip side, Rowena was the biggest ray of sunshine in this episode. She really does make every episode that she’s in awesome. I loved watching her crush o...

I never had an imaginary friend when I was a kid, but this episode makes me wish that was different. I guess not having an imaginary friend means that I was a stable and well-adjusted child. However, I have to admit that I would have enjoyed having a mermaid companion to accompany me to the swimming pool. One thing’s for sure, the Zanna are nothing if not fun. In fact, I think fun is the theme of this episode (you know, if you discount the emotional turmoil and the horrific murders). I really enjoyed this episode. It’s always refreshing to meet “monsters” that aren’t all that monstrous. I would really like to see the Zanna in future episodes; they’re fascinating characters, and they have so much commitment to bringing children happiness. The plot of this episode was also really interesting. The idea of an imaginary friend serial killer makes quite a story. Compared to all the drama and darkness that we’ve seen on this show, this episode was practically light and cheery. There’s nothin...

Man, this episode was SO CREEPY! Just when I thought Supernatural couldn’t throw anything else at me, they had to introduce a psycho killer in the most blood-curdling bunny mask I’ve ever seen. And the fact that it didn’t come off makes it even worse.  Shockingly, I think it was scarier than either of the killer clowns in this episode. The deer mask was the least scary of them all. Although, of course, all the murders were as scary as can be.  The plot, however, didn’t make complete sense to me. For example, if the sister really believed that her brother hurt her son, why didn’t she confront him? Why didn’t she go to the police? Anything would have made more sense than asking two random guys to threaten her brother and rough him up a bit. How does that solve the problem? Especially because it seems that he probably didn’t hurt the kids. It was just completely illogical.  On the bright side, I really enjoyed seeing Sheriff Donna again. She’s so fun! I love her Midwestern ...

Okay, I’ll come out and say it: I have no idea what’s going on between Dean and Amara. I’m not sure I want to understand it. I don’t even think that Dean and Amara understand it themselves. It’s super weird, but also fascinating. I’m also terrified of Amara. I mean, how could you not be scared of someone who can break Crowley’s arm with barely a twitch of her finger. I mean, I guess she’s God’s sister, so that explains it. Seriously, how crazy is that? Who would have thunk that God had a sister. I guess it makes some sense. The two siblings are opposites: light and dark, creation and destruction, order and chaos. It’s all about duality, I suppose. Anyway, I guess Amara is free now, and I’m sure she’ll leave a trail of soulless humans behind her. (By the way, I find it interesting that the Darkness can only grow by feeding on God’s creation). I still don’t really understand what her final goal is, but I do agree that Sam and Dean should probably kill her as soon as possible. Whether or...
