Supernatural: Season 10 (Spoilers!)

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Doesn't matter, if the global floodstory still holds true in the SNL universe,

What's Saturday Night Live got to do with this?

Sorry: SPN.

Don't post at 2:30 am, kids!

This show does have a knack for making a meandering plot and anticlimatic resolutions feel exciting. The episode itself was entertaining enough, but where does this leave us? The search for Cain has resulted in nothing and we're back to square one. At worst Dean's fight with Cain will make the mark stronger and he might turn into a demon again. The biggest threat in the show right now is that we end up back where we were at the end of the previous season.

While I have been enjoying the episodes, thinking back over the arc, they really haven't done much to move it forward. There were several times where it seemed like we were leading up to a big development, but then like the fight with Cain, they ended up going nowhere.

The ep was well made (intriguing set-up, and the actor playing Cain was good), and better than a lot of what we've seen recently, but the writers have a lot of ground to make up if they're going to save this season.

I really have a problem with Rowena:
(1) I just don't like the actor.
(2) Nothing is really happening with her story; every time we cut to Hell, it's just more vague "manipulating Crowley" stuff. It's as bad as one of those daily soap operas.
(3) Crowley is really neutered by her presence; Rowena monologs, and Crowley doesn't say or do anything interesting.
(4) Her presence adds nothing to the show. There's some witch she wants to get rid of, but that's not of interest to any of the other characters. Possibly she's going to turn Crowley against the boys, but all this tedious build-up is unnecessary, and if he's just her puppet, where's the dramatic interest?

^She is terribly annoying. Perhaps she is SUPPOSED to be annoying and that is the point of her; however, she's not fun to watch and I'm fairly certain most of us just want her to go away. Either way, it's not helping this season in any form.

I like the idea of the character, a lot more than the character herself. I think the idea of bringing in an evil witch, who turns out to be Crowley's mother is a great idea, but they haven't really done anything with her. We did get the stuff with her manipulating Crowley and his people, which I did enjoy, but it hasn't really gone anywhere that interesting yet. I'm almost starting to wonder if the storylines we're getting for the whole season might have been better off as shorter arcs.

 

[Mr Light]

Am I the only one that can ONLY think of Princess Meridia when she's on-screen?

 

[Gryffindorian]

Merida from Brave? Not really.

 

[auntiehill]

Am I the only one that can ONLY think of Princess Meridia when she's on-screen?

Yes. Yes, you are.

 

[JD]

I don't see it either.

 

[Mr Light]

She's a conniving redhead with a massive poof of curly hair with the most outrageous Scottish accent you can imagine.

 

[JD]

Well, both actresses are Scottish so there's a pretty good chance those are their real accents.

 

[Gryffindorian]

Oh, that was a Scottish accent?!

 

[JD]

I'm not always good with accents, but like I said, the actress is Scottish so I assumed that was her normal accent. Although, I guess they could be having her exaggerate it for the show.

 

[CommanderRaytas]

It is the actress's actual accent.

She annoys me, too. There's great potential in that character, but they just do fuck-all with her, and that's a lot of wasted opportunity.

 

[eyeresist]

It would be hilarious if they came back from break with a different actress!

"Mother! What happened to your face?"
"Oh, you know, it's the toll of being being an immortal witch - your face keeps changing."

My program guide tells me that when Supernatural returns on the 18th, it will feature

Spoiler: next Supernatural

And I quote, "Khan worms" that drive people to murder. Always nice when Supernatural references Star Trek

 

[auntiehill]

^Not a new creature. They were creatures of "Eve"--the mother of all monsters, used in the episode "And Then There Were None," season 6, the one where Rufus died.

 

[Skywalker]

Rufus.

 

[Sto-Vo-Kory]

^Not a new creature. They were creatures of "Eve"--the mother of all monsters, used in the episode "And Then There Were None," season 6, the one where Rufus died.

Completely forgot this.

Thanks for the reminder, auntiehill!

 

[auntiehill]

Hmm. This seems like a mutated cousin of the black ear worm. Pretty good episode but I just don't like Cole. Felt a bit like more filler with a familiar story. They need to pick it up a bit.

Next week's looks like fun, though.

 

[Gryffindorian]

A little bit gory for my taste.

I don't like Cole either. He's so damned cocky. He was all Rambo when he was looking for Dean in earlier episodes. "I'm gonna kill Dean. I'm gonna kill him!" Then Demon Dean kicked his ass.
