Jensen Ackles is safe!

Amy, I promise it's on my project list. First task--find good paper doll poses. Second, way more fun tasks, find costumes. Anyone wanna help?

Begging help for a second project: the red symbol here [link] is the angel hiding one?

eta: Maybe I'll go with demon protection sigil and use the Horn of Gabriel for a universe in which angels aren't bags of dicks.

I think so? But I have no idea, really.

I decided to make a page of sigils. Please tell me what I'm forgetting: [link]

That is most excellent - love it .

Thank you! It just felt like something that should be all in one place, and it was impossible to google, as you can imagine.

Are these the most beheadings we've ever had in an episode before?

There should have been a few in Dead Man's Blood.

If next week is the backdoor pilot, that means there are only three more episodes likely to deal with the arc. I lost track of how many episodes Cas has been in, so I don't know how many of the nine he has left (it was nine, right?).

Not unlike last season, that's a lot of moving pieces and not too many minutes.

I saw Bob Berens, I think, mention that last night on Twitter -- that the back end of the season is "packed with boys and action" or something.

This season feels really haphazard to me. And now I miss Dean's extra scruff. Go back to not shaving so much, broody Dean.

I don't think they moved well between the components. The emotional arc they've been consistent with (maybe too consistent (yes, #THINMAN, I'm looking at you)), but they haven't been deft juggling Gadreel+Metatron and Crowley+Abaddon. It's like they can't handle both at the same time.

I hope we see Kevin again.

However much I don't want an arc free ep right now, this was...I give this a B. Jody taking Alex anywhere by herself was bonehead move. I'm glad the phones are on vibrate more often, but shouldn't people be carrying them on their person more often? Kinda helps.

(In 10 years they'll be laughing at the idea of being physically separated from your call notification, probs)

I was happy to see Jodi again, but yeah -- I keep thinking they need to wrap up Metatron and the First Blade, and I'm completely forgetting about Crowley and Abbadon.
