priznat posted:Anyway how is S9, worth tracking down the episodes I've missed or just wing it into S10? They should be on Netflix today. The episodes are fine but still sort of aimless (there's two different plots going down, one about angels and one about demons). Thankfully it seems that it'll be more concentrated in S10.

Oroborus posted:This episode felt more like an episode from a mid season lull to me and not a premier, did anyone else get that kind of feeling? Especially since the trailers had Dean breaking down the door in a horror movie style. It's a very interesting sort of premier.

Ehh, to be fair Seasons 6 & 8 both had finales that weren't immediately resolved (okay God Cas was but because he absorbed everything in purgatory that let the Leviathans out).

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:I'm kinda getting an Archer vibe from Dean this season. New haircut, lots of sleeping around, "AND NOW THIS IS HAPPENING" with the random beat downs and stabbing people. It's just a new status quo I think. It's like now ever since Season 8 or so half of each episode has been "The Castiel time". Speaking of which, I'm enjoying his side plots more than in the past few seasons, perhaps because it's a lot more intimate than "save the world again".

empty sea posted:Demon!Dean was hardly more evil than normal Dean. I'm sure that was deliberate, as was Cas' conversation about how hosed up Sam and Dean's relationship is. At least I hope the show is that self aware when it comes to Dean being a prick and Sam letting him walk all over him. It also reinforced the metaphor of being a demon as being akin to alcoholism, destructive but easier on your feelings than actually confronting stuff sober.

I do kinda wish they'd be more consistent about an overarching plot but the last time they did that everyone bitched at them (Leviathans) so whatever.

Some Numbers posted:Weekend at Bobby's ALONE justifies Season 6. Soulless Sam, the fairy episode and The French Mistake made it a great decision. It's weird how memorable episodes just pop up, I guess because the show's not as serial as it appears. Like, Season 7 was all about Leviathans but that's where the crazy clown episode came from or the one where the demon's host was a serial killer. Or how Season 8 had that weird cartoon episode.

Astroman posted:The show seems to lack a direction this season. Even after the first arc ended, you had Lilith, the Levathan, Sealing Hell, Angel War, etc etc as big objectives. Now it's kinda meandering along with soap opera plots involving Crowley drama, Cas drama, Sam and Dean Mark drama. In practice that's what Seasons 8 & 9 have been. Though to be fair, this season there isn't a "big bad", there's just a choice that Dean made and the effects of that choice. In some respects, it's very similar to Season 3 with Dean selling his soul.

In a way, they're sort of poking fun at the idea they've had where you can resolve the conflict in 4 episodes and it just goes away.

VaultAggie posted:How are the ratings? I don't really know much about the Nielsen ratings, so I'm curious how well the show actually is doing. I think they've been fairly constant for the past few years (at least since Season 5 ended), even when they switched timeslots a few times. If Arrow and Flash continue to do well I could see them wanting to phase it out though (although not before a sequel/spinoff comes in).

Murphy Brownback posted:Yeah, witch just seems to be the catch-all term for "person who casts bad spells". Sometimes a demon is helping them out to become more powerful, sometimes you have witches like the poker dude who don't seem to have anything to do with hell. They even mentioned that in the first episode that really showed Rowena.

mcswizzle posted:Did they ever explain why crowley is a crimson demon rather than the regular black? Lilith was white, but IIRC even the yellow eyed demon was black smoke. Assuming that was just a cosmetic change they made later, lets assume that YED should've had yellow smoke. That's all of 3 demons we've seen that are significantly different. IIRC all of the Crossroad demons had red eyes so the assumption is that they also have red smoke.

FBI has been the default for the whole show as far as I remember, sometimes they do something different like when they found out Garth was a werewolf.

Anomalous posted:No, I think you were right the first time, it looks like there's a few different guns in that trailer, and one of those REALLY looks like the Colt in profile. That would be a hell of a callback from the ether. When was the last time we saw the thing in one piece? The Croatoan quantum leap that Dean took when Sam hypothetically said yes in alterna-future? The episode where they go back in time to kill the Phoenix was in Season 6.

The issues I have with Supernatural are more due to the promotion of certain characters to the main cast. Like right now there's three main groups of "main cast" members: Sam & Dean - the hunters, bread & butter of the series Castiel - the Angels Crowley - the Demons The main problem I've had is that the latter two groups don't gel well either with themselves or Sam & Dean, and as a result the stories feel a bit disjointed. Like, you can't just have Castiel with the brothers all the time because it trivializes a whole bunch of problems. You also can't really have Crowley with them because they're ostensibly reluctant allies. This results in a sort of Game of Thrones situation - each of the three storylines are distinct, but occasionally they intersect with one another (usually during climactic or end of season events). You can work around this but it's a lot harder than the traditional format that worked up until Season 5 or 6. IMO the demons definitely shouldn't be humanized/portrayed as much as they have been the past two seasons, while Castiel (but not angels in general*) are fine as is but need to be integrated to the story a lot better than they have been. *Actually I'll say this: the treatment of Heaven this season has been good. You don't really see it except in a special circumstance (a heist) that directly leads to plot relevant material.

I think it's actually kind of ambiguous as to whether Death actually died or not. Besides, the scythe seems like the type of thing that would be left behind as an artifact. Comparing the Darkness to Leviathans reminded me, there are still Leviathans out there (albeit unorganized) so a cool episode would be if they found one and couldn't really kill it but just had to redirect it somewhere else.

Yaos posted:Out of these 600 seals, only 66 needed to be broken. It took decades of work by demons and angels to get Lucifer out of his cage, yet it took minutes to do the same to break out the darkness. In fairness they also said the First Seal broken was when Dean decided to start torturing people in Hell. It took a few months at most to get everything done. Also the particular spell to destroy the Mark used about the most esoteric items you could think of and was written in an encoded book that was also written in an ancient language that God didn't even write. So it's not exactly the easiest thing to do. Oh and don't even think about when Castiel was or wasn't human.

BreakAtmo posted:What about neither of those, but rather just... black. Like, maybe they take a human shape of some sort, but they're literally just pure black silhouettes, no depth, no reflection, essentially no interaction with light, just utterly, purely dark, like walking black holes. It would be cheap at least, and I honestly think that if it was done right it could be really unnerving and warped and wrong-looking, like something that just doesn't belong in reality. If they do this and the human baddies are just cultists that would be pretty rad.
