I think I am throwing in the towel. I keep skipping over SPN to get off the TiVo. no interest.
Supernatural 3: Family don't end with blood
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
I'll keep watching and muttering.
They missed an opportunity to call back to the period when Sam was soulless and still walking around. Of course, if the writers don't remember previous seasons, why should the characters?
Oh geez - Amazon Deal of the Day is the first 9 seasons of Supernatural - Blu ray $105.99 or DVD $89.99.
That seems like a really great deal. I'm so torn!
Hey last week's episode was way better than the season premiere!
I liked Sam's story. I was interested in Baby with the Mark, but I don't like the rapid aging thing.
I generally wish SPN would stop trying to do nameless evils from before the dawn of time. They really aren't good at it. Although I did enjoy the Darkness (or whoever she is) telling Dean she didn't know this "Death' person. That could be interesting but I doubt it will go anywhere.
Some thoughts about Billie:
Julian Richings was a perfect incarnation of classical Death, with his cadaverous appearance and his chilling manner. His impish streak was delicious, the sly hint of humor, and his weakness for food which he let Dean exploit. I loved him as Death.
I do hope Billie is, in fact, Death reincarnate. She's more a Gaiman view of Death--singing her own song, all sleek, strong womanhood, her power exuding in her untamed hair and current, body conscious but non-revealing clothing. No less intimidating than Riching's archetypal male, but inimical in her seductive appearance and voice.
I like her! Better than "Darkness," either in womanly or girl-child form.
I spent a lot of the episode muttering at Billie, "please be a main character, please be a main character, please be a main character..."
I don't get how the Darkness can be unaware of Death yet know, well, anything else about how reality works. Either it's been cut off from the universe with no information since Creation, or it's somehow been able to glean info from the bearers of the Mark of Caine over the years, none of whom have been strangers to killing.
Yeah that is a huge plothole.
