Given there's a line in there between them wondering if the Trickster is alive, I half wonder if originally it was a Trickster episode but it added too much heavy plot to such a fun stand alone episode so they just simplified it. Like if some big plot reveal happened in this one, it'd a little... odd. Astroman posted:That was indeed as awesome as I was hoping it would be! What's funny is I had no idea how the episode was going to go and then thought it was some cross-promotion for a new Scooby Doo series and I braced myself for an epic trainwreck. Then it turned out to be one of their better comedy episodes, which they've not really rocked in a long time. Better than it had any right to be. ED: They also handled the fact the studio probably told them no about depicting the Scooby Gang with shotguns and grenade launchers well as they could. In fact it probably kept them from falling into the cheap sight gags. Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Mar 31, 2018 |

Nah, the idea for this episode came way before the trickster reveal was even thought of. I think they started working on it mid season last year (animation takes a while to do). The guys finished the voice acting I think right after the finale of last season. Just was a "wacky" episode. No overarching plot, no tie ins to anything. Just the general "fun" episodes they try to have about once a season over the last couple years.

You know I think I realized why I'm liking this season alot: 1: No secrets. Everyone says what's on their mind within a loving episode. 2: No secret betrayals. I'm glad Crowley's dead, dumb as his death was. 3: No torture. I don't count Lucifier getting sliced up a bit. I'm talking "long scene of heroes chained to a chair reenacting Lethal Weapon 2." 4: Less focus on the main plot 5: A fairly credible threat in the form of the Angels from the other dimension. They seem fully aware that Col. Sanders is an annoyance at best. 6: Jack: I kind of like him. If they do a 'secret evil' thing it'll be lame. On paper I thought he'd be just the worst, but.. he's been pretty cool. 7: No surprise murder of supporting cast. They did scramble poor Rapheal's soulless brain but I have a feeling that's not over yet. i.e. "Hey let's introduce this cool deaf hunter then kill her for a cheap intro." 8: Castiel's been around a bit more which is nice. It'd still be better to see him as a main more often. 9: Bobby, the best character the show has ever had, in any form. 10: See 9. I thought they were going to make him rear end in a top hat Bobby when he started going off on Jack but thank God they didn't stick with that. Also Lucifier is trashed as a character but the actor is still fun. yeah I eat rear end posted:Well yeah but i could easily see them having castiel say something like "that was no normal ghost, only one thing could have done that" or something next episode when they are back to serious mode. All I can say is they better be saving Adam for a rainy day as the primary villain. They're long past the part I can bitch about them just being assholes and letting him rot without even trying but they are well into "Adam has every reason to want to gently caress them up in a million different ways." Like I couldn't even really fault him for it. Dark_Tzitzimine posted:No news about the spin off though. I'm legitimately surprised. Everybody seemed to like it, and it has some real potential. The only thing I saw (and felt) overwhelmingly is needing to take the spotlight off Claire, and maybe make things a tiny bit less power ranger with the villains. Claire, written as Dean, just isn't capable of holding the show on her own. The cast overall is good though, with Donna and Jodi being the real draws.

I remember hitting that episode when I jumped on the show during a Netflix binge and was like "What.. the gently caress.. is this." I kept wondering why were spending the entire episode with unlikable extras, then found out it was a backdoor pilot thing. The whole time I thought "Jesus this sucks, I hope this isn't setting up a new plot arc." The Wayward Sisters thing at least, you knew, drew from characters we actually cared about and with an understandable context.

CW seems to always try new shows and seems to have adopted a kind of staggered season policy and a lot of half seasons that could be mini-series. And I haven't heard anything about that. So odds are we'll hear news one way or another about Wayward Sisters the same time we find out what new shows they're throwing at the wall and what their new DC crossover/show is.

While I think this season is the best it's been in a long, long time (much to my surprise) and this episode was pretty solid, the one thing that irked me is how hilariously no-shits given things were over the two Men of Letters that the Winchsters killed. I mean I can see why they'd let it go being a misunderstanding, but joking practically over their corpses was ice.. cold..

I liked this episode but they do what they always do with stuff like this: they make the super powerful universe-destroying gods seem super weak and lame by putting them in a human host. Like the "destroyer of galaxies" or whatever, all they had was a sucker tentacle that came out of her mouth. Big deal. How are you going to consume a universe with a tentacle?

I choose to believe that the male tentacle god just missed his mate after 100 years separated so pulled her back in so he wouldn't be alone again. Its like a Hallmark movie. With tentacles.

There's a pretty familiar untold story there about those two brother-sister Men of Letter descendants who devoted their lives to trying and protecting poo poo from monsters they only have understand with some really questionable choices and approaches. I was more bothered that once again the Winchesters passed on an opportunity to build a new Men of Letters just like they do EVERY time they meet a descendant of the Men of Letters or hunters who seem like prime recruits. And by "bothered" I mean "its something I'd like to see but I've come to accept it isn't happening."

I didn't get the impression that those guys knew much about the world of monsters and hunters, they just knew they had to keep that god contained and that was basically it. Biggest "Wtf?" moments to me were how the MOL had archangel grace just laying around in their headquarters/chapterhouse/frat house. 2 vials, at the least. That seems like an incredibly hard thing to get, much less find twice.

I was mostly joking, but yeah. They had the knowledge of the MoL, the ability to do some complicated magic that the Winchesters only learned from The Demon Tablet, and a whole bunch of rare supplies including archangel grace. I don't imagine they knew who the Winchesters were or hunt vampires on the weekend. They seemed like they just kind of hunkered down with their own touch of evil and locked the doors. But they knew some poo poo and had devoted their lives to the cause. They were yet another in a long list of people I quietly was hoping Sam would start that whole Men of Letters revival/hunter network thing he's seemed to toss around a few times. Or I just imagine in my head. I look forward to them calling Sam next season and getting killed. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 05:16 on Apr 9, 2018 |

DirtyRobot posted:Assuming they didn't lay the social commentary on thick -- which, granted, would be the temptation, and it would be awful -- this would be entirely appropriate for this show in terms of the working-class Americana vibe they haven't really done a good job addressing the past few seasons. (Stuck-up Brits complaining that "American hunters = hicks" every opportunity doesn't count.) It would be a pretty good idea for an episode if shoppers at a big box labyrinth kept disappearing, and it was because one of these packs of idiots had stashed a poorly monitored otherworldly creature in one of their underground clubhouses 100 years ago and it got loose.

poo poo, that could just be the plot of next season--Sam, Dean, Cas, Mary, Jack, and Ketch ("Can we trust him? Does Mom still like him?") can clean up MoL lairs and descendents across the country. No world ending threat, plenty of space for MOTW episodes too.

There's a pretty familiar untold story there about those two brother-sister Men of Letter descendants who devoted their lives to trying and protecting poo poo from monsters they only have understand with some really questionable choices and approaches. Oh I don't think it was remotely questionable they killed the guys at the diner, they were way more than justified. But once it came out what was happening, not even a single "Sorry about your friends" was pretty hilarious, like the writers completely forgot they killed anyone. That said, this season continues to be the best in like 5+ seasons. There's no gaping plot holes, no hair-pulling secret bullshit and Amadeus ended up being EXACTLY the kind of punch line I thought he'd be. I've almost forgotten about the multiple seasons where every episode was people not telling each other things, people bitching at each other, then people making pained expressions while they get cut tied to a chair. It feels like there's kind of a renewed energy going on with the show and a lighter tone that gels with things a lot better. It might sound like all I ever do is bitch endlessly but credit where it's due, I've found few serious gripes with this season. I've come to accept Lucifer is just a joke now, but at least he's becoming a funny one. That exorcism scene was hilarious. The plot may be super simple this season but at least it's not riddled with hair-pulling gaping holes. ED: The callback to Charlie's death was hilarious though. I wish Dean had told Ketch WHAT killed her: "So let me get this straight. She was an accomplished Hunter but got killed by a guy who's only power was having redundant internal organs and a missing arm?" "Well later, we had a showdown and he got a new arm off some college pot dealer. He called it an upgrade." "How did you EVER stop such a monster?" "I shot him." The Steins remain my favorite dumb as gently caress faction ever to grace Supernatural. They claimed to do 9/11, repeatedly died from normal injuries and thought having extra organs stuffed in your body made you cool despite not really doing much at all. Their most redeeming quantity was going out like a bitch. Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Apr 14, 2018 |

I'm fine with Charlie. I was never part of the Felicia Day hate in "genre" fans, which is probably in part that I don't want near as much "genre" stuff she might have appeared in to get tired of her. I think Rowena's gotten overused the last few seasons and part of me was ready for Sam to kill her. But I'm ok with the story they told. I didn't buy in fully to power mad thing but it worked enough. And I always appreciate when the Winchesters call friends. Even if they should probably take note that all their truly useful friends are megalomaniacal amoral pricks.
