Fantastical Musings

This was another episode that felt like it took a MILLION years. Honestly, I was getting pretty tired of it by the end, mostly because it was just so tedious! Which is a shame because the actual content of the episode was pretty significant. Most importantly, Crowley is now dead! DEAD. Which, I’ll admit, is pretty shocking. I almost don’t believe they really killed Crowley. I bet he finds a way to come back and make more snarky comments! If Crowley is actually permanently dead, I am a little disappointed about the quality of that death scene. It just wasn’t actually that good. Kind of anticlimactic if you ask me. In other news, we learned that Sam regaining his soul might drive him crazy, which is a CONCERN to say the least. However, there are approximately nine seasons left, so I’m assuming that Sam successfully reincorporates his soul at some point. All the same, I imagine we’ll have some EMOTIONAL episodes if Sam gets his soul back and mentally dissolves because of it. We also learn...

Oh my goodness, this episode! Now, THIS is the quality content I signed up for. This episode was so hilarious I couldn’t stand it. Seriously, I was laughing the whole time! My favorite moment had to be when Dean was yelling at Sam to “fight the fairies” out of the back of the cop car. The absurdity of that moment was the pièce de résistance of comedy. Although, I have to say that I think Sam had the best line of the episode: “If you want to add glitter to that glue you’re sniffing, that’s fine, but don’t dump your whackadoo all over us. We’d rather not step in it.” On a side note, I’m starting to like soulless Sam. Well, “like” might be a strong word. I should say that I am generally amused by his indifference to all social norms in this episode. I mean, who didn’t chuckle when he was asking Dean how long he had to wait after his brother went missing before jumping into bed with a UFO hunter? Granted, that was only funny because Dean was okay, but it was funny nonetheless. Plus, I have...

Oh my goodness, this episode! It was so sad! Like, excuse me while I wipe away a single tear. When “Lucky” told Mandy who he really was and she rejected him, it broke my heart! I mean, honestly, I’m not too surprised that she rejected him (TBH, I would probably do the same thing in her circumstances; it was a pretty creepy situation), but it was sad nonetheless. I half expected her to run after him, in true, romantic comedy style. In case you need a recap, in this episode Crowley tells the Winchesters that they will need to capture an Alpha in order to regain Sam’s soul. Consequently, the boys set out to investigate what appears to be a werewolf infestation, in the hopes of locating an Alpha. WELL. As It turns out, the “werewolves” were actually skinwalkers. Sam and Dean manage to catch one of the skinwalkers, a German Shepherd/human named Lucky. It turns out that Lucky actually cares about the family he lives with, so Sam and Dean try to convince him to turn on the other shapeshifters...

Well, this episode was a doozy! In fact, if you look in the dictionary, I’m pretty sure this is the definition of doozy. Let us recap all of the important things we learned in this episode: Sam does not have a soul. Like, no wonder he’s been so problematic lately! Samuel does have a soul, but he made a deal with Crowley, so maybe he won’t have it for long.  Cas has more important things to do than deal with Dean’s problems, as difficult as that might be to believe. The Campbells are snatching monsters on Crowley’s behalf. Guys, I can already tell you that this is going to end badly. This is super shady and also super stupid. Lisa is not talking to Dean. Sigh. Crowley is trying to get information on Purgatory for some sort of infernal real estate deal. Sounds pretty sus to me. Like I said, doozy. Honestly, this episode was a lot to absorb for me. It almost felt like it was two or three episodes! I’m guessing that the plot of this episode is sort of laying out where the rest ...

You know what, I’m glad that Dean beat Sam’s face into a pulp in this episode. As this season goes on, I’m just hating Sam more and more. Like, what is this “I can’t have feelings anymore” crap? I’m sorry, but that is NOT an excuse. Cry me a river Sam, but whether or not you have feelings, you should know what’s right and what’s wrong. Like, it’s just so infuriating! Anyway, I thought that the premise of this episode was pretty interesting. The scene where everyone kept telling the waitress what they thought of her reminded me of True Blood ; although Sookie’s mind-reading thing was quite different. I have to say, however, that hearing 100% of the truth 100% of the time sounds pretty terrible. I can understand why all those people killed themselves; it was probably devastating. You know what else was devastating? That goddess. I mean, talk about creepy! I do appreciate that she likes cats, but the bodies in her basement were pretty disturbing. On a side note, even though she is a godd...

Okay, Sam made me so angry in this episode that I can’t even find the words to express my rage. SAM! SAM! SAM! WHAT ARE YOU DOING????? Did you guys see how Sam just allowed Dean to become a vampire in this episode?? Did you see that? I don’t care that he probably knew that there was a cure; that doesn’t change the fact that his actions could have gotten Dean killed. Or, Dean could have killed someone else! Lisa and Ben were at risk, and, by the way, Sam’s little vampire stunt probably severely damaged Dean’s relationship with his surrogate family. Like, HOW COULD HE DO THAT???? Man, Sam either has no empathy or he’s so thoughtless it’s ridiculous (or both). It just KILLS me. By the way, how did Sam even know that the cure would work? If Dean had had any blood, it wouldn’t have worked! Okay, okay, let me calm down before I explode with anger. Aside from the fact that Sam is now the worst person ever (seriously, I HATE him after this episode), I did really like this episode. I really enj...

I think the theme of this episode is POOR BOBBY! Supernatural focuses on Sam and Dean, so sometimes it’s easy to forget that other characters have problems too. To be honest, I’d kind of forgotten that Bobby had sold his soul to Crowley; I’d just kind of assumed that he got his soul back when he was resurrected at the end of season five. But, I should have known better because Crowley—for all his witty banter—is, after all, a demon. In case you need a recap, this episode is mostly about Bobby. He spends most of the episode trying to find a way to get his soul back from Crowley, but keeps getting interrupted by other hunters asking for help (in both horrifying and hilarious ways). I can’t decide what was better, Bobby breaking into the library through the window or the vampire-ish monster going through the woodchipper. Anyway, the episode ends with Bobby yelling at Sam and Dean for not helping him when he needs it. The brothers then go to Scotland, dig up Crowley’s bones, and threaten ...
