Supernatural 4x1 "Lazarus Rising" SPOILERS after ep discussion

Yeah and new Ruby does suck. And that was strictly a monetary choice to get rid of the original actress. Really so far the only poor casting the show has done this season.

It wasn't their fault their budget was slashed. I'm sure Katie Cassidy would have been more than happy to return, but the budget cuts must have put her out of their price range.

I can only hope that this feeling was deliberate, and that like the jump forward between s2 and s3 of BSG, they will go back and fill in the gaps.

You're going to have be patient until episode 10. We get major "fill in" for what happened to Dean and Sam when Dean was gone. Kripke's a major tease.

I was under the impression that after Ruby's spirit was sent away by Lilith and then she herself vacated the the body they had both been in that the human shell was dead. I'd imagine being possessed and vacated by a demonic entity would be extremely traumatic to go through once, let alone twice. Not to mention she had been shot at least once by Bobby a ways back.

The other actress might have been overpriced for their budget, but at least with the concept of "Ruby", we didn't lose the character. As I've only seen Lazarus so far, I'll reserve judegement on whether I like the "new" Ruby or not.
