Spoilers Supernatural Season 15--the final season

[Farscape One]

This was a hilarious episode! Very much reminded me of season 3's "BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK", with the rabbit's foot. Very much a comedy, too. (Hell, they both ended with the exact same line from Dean.)

Best line might go to the little girl. "The giant's crying."

Sam and the pepper drink... Dean tap dancing in his nitrous induced dream... Dean's dentist experience... the 'fight' between the boys and Maul... I was laughing the entire episode.


Got to say, a cool idea... a monster UFC. I've always thought something like this was around.

Though many might this episode as off tone for the season, I think it was a needed departure. And we got to see Garth again. This is almost certainly the last comedy of the series, and I loved it!

 

[RJDiogenes]

Well, that was fun, and it was nice to see Garth again. It's probably the last time we'll see him, or have one of these lighthearted episodes.

The premise was also interesting, and a bit meta. Since Sam and Dean were the heroes of Chuck's novels, they had an aura of protection from the mediocrity of life-- but now they are no longer fictional characters and must endure the slings and arrows of ordinary fortune. Or so they say. They endured punishment in the fight with Mary that would have sent two ordinary guys to the ER, if not the morgue, so the laws of physics are still quite different in the Supernaturalverse.

But Good Grief, there were some funny moments in this one. I absolutely loved tap-dancing Dean and post-dental trauma Dean. And the interactions between Garth and the boys. "You smell so good." "You're so strong." But their final parting was very nice, especially since we know that, however it all ends, this will be the last time they all meet up.

This little quest for a good luck charm in Alaska has me very intrigued. The boys have never been to Alaska and it will be cool to see them in Northern Exposure territory. It made me wonder if Alaska and Hawaii are the only states they've never visited. Maybe the first reunion movie will be Sam and Dean Go To Hawaii.

But I still have to wonder if this all isn't some trick or test. This portrayal of Chuck as powerful, but still a monster-level, beatable threat just doesn't add up. We know that he's God and we've seen some amazing displays of power from him that only hint at what he can really do. I know Sam and Dean are the stars of his TV show and that gives them some leeway, but still-- it all doesn't seem quite right.

@RJDiogenes : it doesn't, does it? I'm hoping it's not just poor writing and maybe this isn't really Chuck, that something (the Darkness?) is affecting him. Otherwise,where exactly can this go, because, well, he's GOD, so technically, they can't beat him. I think most of us think the brothers will taking over Heaven or some other similar scenario, but since Chuck isn't interested in Heaven any longer, why wouldn't he be OK with that: why go through all this?

This Chuck seems very different from the Chuck we met in "Don't Call Me Shurley." He forgave Metatron, for fuck's sake, so all this petty crap with the brothers doesn't make sense. I'm really hoping they can pull all these threads together.

 

[Kelthaz]

Yeah, that episode didn't work for me at all. The humour fell flat for me and I was mostly just bored. It was nice to see Garth again and I'm glad things ended well for him, but I'm sad that's the last we'll see of him. Garth just hasn't been in enough episodes. I guess there's hope that he might show up a Supernatural spinoff one day, but that doesn't seem too likely.

As for the "brought down to normal" thing, yeah, that didn't work for me either. Firstly, it's way too meta. Secondly, they weren't brought down to normal -- they were made incompetent and stupid. Sam can't boil a pot of pasta without spilling it all over the floor and breaking a bunch of dishes? Dean needs to puke while sneaking around in a den of monsters, so he cartoonishly stumbles around trying to find a bathroom while Sam yells at him from the other room? It was too much. I also didn't like how Bess secretly gave Sam an extremely spicy drink without telling him first and then laughed at him while he writhed on the floor in pain. Give the poor man a glass of water!

The episode with the lucky's rabbit foot was very similar to this episode, but the execution was far better.

My favorite scene in the whole series is still the one where that pendant started glowing and Chuck showed up to save all the people in that town who had been killed. He's always been depicted as capricious and mercurial, as befits the Christian God, but I like the casual Hippie Chuck better. There are various possibilities for the finale, like Jack becoming the new Chuck, but I really hope that they just get through to him.

 

[Teelie]

They are lining up Jack to be the new Chuck which maybe is not a bad thing. Death did say he would one day reap God himself. Of course that particular Death is not here anymore but Billie is.

Me, too! "Don't Call Me Shurley" is one of my all-time favorite SPN episodes -- in my top ten. That moment when they finally meet is so well done. It's hard to fit that Chuck with this Chuck.

 

[Kelthaz]

"Don't Call Me Shurley", and season 11 in general, did a great job of making God seem, well, like God. He wasn't just another powerful monster the boys had to deal with like a super Archangel. He was a god. He was still flawed, had weaknesses, but he had a gravitas that put him above the likes of Lucifer or the Pagan gods. The show being able to accomplish that with a shoestring budget was very impressive. God's conversations with Dean (and especially Metatron) were some fantastic bits of writing.

He’s just angry. Some people act completely different when they’re angry.

[RJDiogenes]

I don't like Chuck when he's angry.

 

[Avalon]

Has anyone tried offering him a Snickers?


Pun not intended...

 

[anti-matter]

The real Chuck was fouled up by Amara... she's the reason for his madness. Well that's my theory anyway.

 

[Farscape One]

I like that theory. And by the same token, some of Chuck's good side rubbed off into her, which is why she was fairly pleasant when we saw her earlier this year.

Only one issue I have with it... thst would mean this is all Sam and Dean's fault. The boys have had enough bad things caused by them, not intentionally of course, and I really don't want another apocalypse like thing be their fault.

 

[RJDiogenes]

So all the boys have to do to save the world is... retire.

 

[Farscape One]

LMAO!

Dean tried that already after Sam was sent to the Cage. Sam tried thst after Dean was sent to Purgatory with Castiel.

Retirement does not seem to be an option for them.

At least they don't have to worry about a 401k...

This reminds me a lot of the poker game in "The Curious Case of Dean Winchester." We'll see how it goes.

^ Without Bobby to say "I see you've met John McCain here," it's just not the same.

 

[Snaploud]

I considered that idea. The problem is that we've seen Chuck's memories of doing this stuff to other Sam and Deans in other universes (unless he was lying about those images being memories or there was some weird time-travel involved).

 

[auntiehill]

I enjoyed that episode; it reminded me of the earlier seasons. So VERY happy that Jack is back. I *really* want to know what Death has planned; is Billie going to "reap God," as Death told Dean back in Chicago ??

And WTF??! Moving to Monday? And a whole month without Supernatural. Phooey.
