I LIKE. xD
ReplyDeleteSo Sam finally gets his soul back and it's another Dean centric? This is almost getting funny.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if it'll be as Dean centric as it sounds from the synopsis, I mean, all the promos had as much Sam in them as Dean.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to this like nobody's business! :D
ReplyDelete:DDDDDDDDD Death again! Oh this is to much writers, you shouldnt :DDD
ReplyDeleteProve himself worthy? Perhaps he has to pull this weapon out of a stone? I'd laugh if it was excalibur.
ReplyDeleteMy prediction: Sam will wake up about 20 minutes into the show. He'll be a little confused and groggy and will passively follow along with Dean and Bobby for about 30 more minutes, and then we'll get some big revelation in the last 10 (the show will end with Dean's reaction). Most of the episode will be Dean's reactions and Dean doing cool things with dragons, Death, weapons and virgins. Don't get me wrong - I love both brothers - but I prefer some balance.
ReplyDeleteHaha.....actually that makes sense......or St George's sword - he was supposed to be a dragonslayer wasn't he?
ReplyDeleteCourse they should :)
ReplyDeleteAs long as Death doesn't decide to take Sam, Dean, Bobby, Cas or the Impala he can visit any time he likes - he awesomely, menacingly scary....
Dragons? Real Sam back? Dean + Bobby hunting? And to top it off we get another dose of Death? B-e-a-utiful!
ReplyDeleteYep. He killed the dragon with a sword called Ascalon, I think.
ReplyDeleteEspecially not the Impala :-P I wonder what a car reaper looks like.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an intriguing episode. I hope Dean doesn't pull the sword from a rock.
Possibly, but I'll reserve judgement until I've actually seen the episode. :)
ReplyDelete'Car reaper' hahaha .......wonder if they come with a big black tow truck?
ReplyDeleteAwesome to quote Barney! The whole quest thing seems interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of worried about that too haha! Hopefully it's done in a comical way, right? The writer has a pretty good track record with "lighter", enjoyable episodes: All Dogs go to Heaven and Two and a Half Men.
ReplyDeleteOMG is anyone else thinking excalibur? lol
ReplyDeleteYou know what's even funnier? People bitching about which character is featured more prominently in an episode of a tv show. Get over it or stop watching...It's seriously that simple. (Ok sorry for the harshness...) I am expecting the 2nd part of the season to be very Sam-centric anyway since he has been MIA (In spirit) so far... It's weird to think that the person next to you is a literal husk with no soul... I saw it as a chance to show another side of Jared's abilities, and he really impressed me...(And by that I mean really made me hate him at first when I couldn't understand why he was obviously trying to fake out Dean, and then made me respect him when he owned up to the lies, and then made me laugh when he would state the unbiased bird's-eye-view truth about something and Dean got pissy about it, and I completely understood when he tried to flee because he was a completely different entity from Sam and logically self-preservation comes first...even if trying to take out Bobby is unforgivable...)...So while they may be milking the whole "what's wrong with Sam?" thing again, oh well...I find that Dean is being used as the viewpoint of the audience this season: he, just like the fans watching, had no idea what was wrong, but something was very very wrong, and the first thing Dean wanted--again just like us, the audience--was his Sam back...So, yeah, I think the whole point of it being from Dean's point of view was that they wanted to keep Sam's state of mind a mystery and at the same time use Dean as a tool to uncover the mystery, and vocalize what they felt the fans would feel in response to Sam's behavior. "Something's different with you..."
ReplyDeleteIn all honesty I'm almost more worried about the dragon than Sammy's soul... (Mostly because I've seen the promo pics and Sam seems thankfully intact.)
ReplyDeleteAGREED!!! I love him way to much
ReplyDeleteokay how dyou know that LOL awesome
ReplyDeleteWell said, Wilson.
ReplyDeleteSince Death rides a pale horse... it would have to be a big white tow truck... I can see the fancy cursive "death, Inc." logo on the door... in red of course.
ReplyDeleteWell, I am Yoda...
ReplyDeleteLMAO
ReplyDeleteWe've been debating the 3 ways it can go: 1. like the hell hounds where we never actually see him (fits the CW budget) 2. awesome CGI (possible but the network won't even cough up money for music and lighting) 3. awesomely bad - this is the surprise "comedy" episode no one saw coming and MST3K is calling.
ReplyDelete*applause*
ReplyDeleteOh, a little off topic maybe, but may I add that I really like Phil Sgriccia's directing?:)
ReplyDeleteapplause too ^_~
ReplyDelete20 days to go...!!!! Why every time i count the day only missing 1 day???? ahhhh i know because i count them every day.., LoL O_o
ReplyDeleteReally exciting to see sammy back..., i will miss robo-sam tho ^_~
That would suck. "Okay, Sam's got his soul. Now give me Bobby and Cas." That would be the day I stopped watching Spn...
ReplyDelete*more applause*
ReplyDeleteI could counter that with the comment with if you don't like reading viewpoints different from your own, don't hang out on a TV forum board. It's seriously that simple.
ReplyDeleteIf the show stops offering something that I'm interested in, don't worry, I'll stop watching. As for what I"ll be watching in the spring, I haven't made up my mind yet. Last time when I had to chose between Fringe and Supernatural I chose Fringe, but I also wasn't hooked on Supernatural at that point. I don't tape shows, so when I get busier in my personal life, whatever I don't watch will get dropped quickly. I get the whole mystery of who Sam is this season, but it's not just about this season. I think the Sam character has a lot more potential than what has been developed up to this point. But if you can't handle hearing that opinion, don't read my posts.
Sounds like another interesting episode. Yet another one with exciting twists and adventures.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the "Dragon" really isn't an animal. Maybe its human but considered or called "Dragon"?
ReplyDeleteThis is that weird and awkward moment where I agree with both sides, although I also have issues with both sides. So I'll just address both and try to ease the tension, lol.
ReplyDeletePart 1
--------
In Wilson's defense >>> I think he, like others, are getting weary of some of the constant negativity from a few people that are not liking the show anymore, but are still watching it for some odd reason. So he might have felt that was where Chris was coming from.
In Chris's defense >>> I think his post was taken the wrong way. I read the next post from him and he explained it further "Don't get me wrong - I love both brothers - but I prefer some balance."
Part 2
--------
To Wilson: Not sure if you were just having a bad day, but that was a bit harsh, and could have used some rewording.
To Chris: Your comments, while some may agree with them, still came across as a bit mocking. Which is most likely what irked a few people.
Part 3
--------
Ok now feel like that bossy kid in class that thinks she's in charge of the class because she's the teacher's pet, even though she's just one of the students, lol. Ugh...I'm not that person.
You say you are expecting the second half to be very Sam-centric... why? Was there a spoiler about that? Did Sera say it? If so, I missed that one. I have heard that it was going to be more Castiel centric because Misha had off so much time the first half because of his new baby... Who do you think will be more involved if Castiel is more involved... Sam or Dean? I see no hints about things becoming more Sam centric... if coming back from Hell didn't do it for him, how could the magical half way point do it?
ReplyDeleteHANNIBAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletesorry... >.>
I'm expecting it because we finally have Sam back...Because it's been a belated welcome to a favorite character...Last time I checked, I'm allowed to make inferences based on what I've seen/witnessed without having to acquire references and document sources... You don't have to take that as gospel or anything, but that's how I feel the second half of the season could play out.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping for the first option. I remember the last time I saw a dragon on a WB/CW show and it was just awful...lol
ReplyDeleteI love both brothers and sometimes I feel like I would like to see more Sam too. But if Sam's flat on his back unconscious then either you spend half the episode staring at a sleeping Sam (not terrible, but not that exciting either) or let Dean do his stuff and we'll get back to Sam when he wakes up. I wouldn't call that predictably *Dean-centric*. Honestly, I'd have been disappointed if Sam just bounced off the bed and was rearing to go, after the big build-up and danger factor. I love Dean but he doesn't exactly run the show- many of the storylines wouldn't have worked without Sam. Both actors are so talented and most of the storylines highlight their talents in a new way. When I'm looking at Dean I think 'I wanna see Sam now', and when I'm watching Sam I think 'I wanna see Dean now', because I love them ALL so much XD
ReplyDeleteI just can't wait for 28th Jan to come round so we can get back into it, even the Jensen/Jared episode. I'm just going to ENJOY THE SHOW because it won't be around forever.
Last time I checked someone is allowed to make a comment about a spoiler also. You jumped all over chris about a simple comment, so why the blow back? I wasn't asking for you to provide references for your comment, I was just asking if it was an actual spoiler? I thought I may have missed something. I don't check the site daily.
ReplyDeleteYoda you are :P
ReplyDelete*bows down*
Ohhh my goodness, Death is coming back?? He is becoming one of my favorite guest characters :) Dean must prove himself, hmmmmm...... Wonder what kind of test that will entell (can't spell, sorry). There will be a Sam-centric epi coming up soon, b/c we are suppose to learn about what happened that year he was without Dean. And Bobby and Dean hunting....this should be very interesting :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy for the intervention, or the attempt anyway. Sorry if I caused awkwardness and I realize this has been a sore spot among Supernatural fans, but I pretty sure I haven't been constantly negative about the show, just as I'm pretty sure Wilson has done his own share of criticizing various shows on this site. Unless the site's policy changes to only allow happy, feel-good comments about TV shows, then if I have something on my mind I'll say it. If my original comment was read as, "you've got to be freakin kidding me," then I wasn't misinterpreted. I think it's really bad timing for the show to put in an episode in which Sam sleeps some of it out and Dean is running around proving he's worthy of slaying dragons. The show producers almost seems to be asking for the backlash. Many fans have been waiting for Sam's return for too long.
ReplyDeleteAs I said in a different post, I love both characters but when things get too out of balance one character gets overexposed and the other becomes a little too absent. If it was all-Sammy-all-the-time I'd be yelling for more Dean. You can argue this point, but I think the last real Sam centric (in which the story focused predominantly on one character's internal struggles/growth) was When the Levee Breaks. There have been other good Sam moments in season 5, but those episodes seem to be equally balanced with character moments for Dean as well. It's not the air time that I'm talking about, it's the quality of the scenes with character growth. Jared has had plenty of screen time in season 6 so far, but Sam has been completely absent. When a cool new character is introduced, it's usually Dean who has the more meaningful interactions with him (Gabriel, Death, all of the the angels, Crowley, young Mary and John in In The Beginning). Sam's one story has been demon blood, and he didn't even get to kill YED, even though he was the one who was more directly effected. Anyway, rant over. Got other things to do.
Sorry for the misinterpretation, but I don't want only "happy, feel-good comments" either. Criticism is healthy. It would freak me out if everyone agreed on everything. Dissenting opinions I have no problem with. But there is a way to make counter-arguments and express your opinion on a matter in a tactful way. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is probably going to continue so I'll let whoever replies to have the last post, lol.
Laters!
For what it's worth, I'm guessing it won't be very Sam-centric. It will be more Sam-centric than the first half of the season (how could it be less?), but Supernatural is going up against Fringe and the producers aren't going to want to lose Dean fans, who I'm guessing are greater in number at the moment, by making most of it about Sam. I think that's the same reason the put out such a Dean-centric promo for their first episode back.
ReplyDeleteThis is why "text" sucks balls sometimes. The lack of facial expressions and vocal tones tends to make comments come across differently that the originator may have intended. Sometime...in the future...all this text will shift to voice input and the world will turn into one big video conference, LOL. That'd be awesome.
ReplyDeleteHi Amy, thanks for your comments. Most of what I wrote in that last response was not in direct response to something you said. I appreciated what you said and I agree with your thoughts on phrasing things and written posts. It was more of an explanation of my point of view on the broader subject. Take care.
ReplyDeletecan i just ask u something . If u judge the show so much why watch it if u think it's all about Dean. I mean Jensen Ackel's is a better actor but Jared has got better over the year's .
ReplyDeleteU r so dam right , they should be quite and just watch the show and not fight over who owns the show , they are both main Characters.
ReplyDeleteYou know...there's only one thing I want each episode to be...
ReplyDeleteSupernatural centric.
Go Amy!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking the exact same thing.....
Whatever we love/hate about our show, we all care about it so very much....that becomes clearer to me the more time I spend here...(which is getting to be an awful lot)
God forbid the day we stop bickering and disagreeing, and laughing and crying and celebrating and getting snotty over SPN because then they may as well just cancel it....................
Sorry, but when i read this Excalibar cam to mind!
ReplyDeleteThere must be some mistake with the synopsis' title. It's extacly the same one as Appointment In Samarra.
ReplyDeletePft, another misleading promo just to get the Dean fans to watch. I'll believe Dean has anything more to do than stand aside and let Sam save the day, again, when I see it. This show isn't about two brothers anymore, it's all about Sam and how special he is and Dean, who has nothing to do but clean Sam's boots and hold onto the cape. I'll believe different when I see it. Gamble, you have disappointed me too many times this season for me to believe anything anymore.
ReplyDeleteAlso for those who think the first half has been Dean centric, when would that have been, the first 2 episodes where Dean actually had a life that didn't involve Sam? Because the last 9 have been Dean being all about Sam and that, for me, isn't Dean centric, it's about Sam. The first half has been about something wrong with Sam, then Sam having no soul, then Dean having to get Sam's soul. and on and on about Sam. And still the Sam fans whine that they want more Sam and it's unfortunate that Gamble will keep making the show more and more about Sam. The Sam fans still aren't happy with the Sam Winchester show that Gamble has been giving them all this season. Of course, since they all know that Gamble will listen to them, they will know that Gamble will keep giving them the story of Sam. Dean who?
ReplyDeleteLOL. As much as I hate drama, it does show you that people still get crazy emotional about this show. I love it. Passion does not always result in positive feelings, it can run through the whole spectrum, from adoration to loathing. All I hope for is for everyone to maintain a maturity level above that of an 8 year old.
ReplyDelete:P
Um... I don't think we've been watching the same show...?!
ReplyDeleteThat would be better... Lots of times I add comments like *grin*.... That way people can see that I am "joking"...
ReplyDeleteActually I agree with you. Amy was right when she asked if I was just in a rough mood. I guess when I read it I read "OMFG I'm a PISSED OFF SAMGIRL RAWR!" But I obviously misinterpreted. But there is one thing about your rant that may or may not prove true: we can't 100% say it's gonna be a Dean-centric episode...I mean, I'm inclined to actually think that way too, but I still have some faith in the writers...
ReplyDeletelol I completely misread that post as well. Ughh long week, I'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteIt seemed more like "What, did you pull this out of your butt or something!?" instead of "Oh, was that mentioned already?"
Meh...Supernatural makes me all angsty. lol
Could we all agree that things have been more Sam's storyline from Dean's point-of-view? And then agree that a new Supernatural is desperately needed? I think a new episode will solve a lot of issues and withdrawal pains. Hellatus sucks out loud. :-(
ReplyDeleteAgree that this reflects season 6. Dean's own story arc - his gradual fall from grace, and by that I mean rebelling against his father (John and then God) - was pretty significant too. It included his tour of hell and the introduction of all of the angels (Castiel, Anna, Zacharia, Uriel) with the exception of Lucifer, who was there for Sam.
ReplyDeleteFair enough. Truce?
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is, is that I'm past the age where I can call myself either a Sam or a Dean girl with a straight face. But I guess we all have characters and storylines that we can identify with a little more. My personality is more similar to Sam's, and I was the younger, rebellious sibling, so I usually take Sam's side in the family arguments. Dean cracks me up though, and sometimes I want to give him a hug. I think Sam does too, but knows that Dean would punch him if he tried.
All I know is that I am excited that Sam is back and looking forward to the start of the second half. I am not sure there will be any big revelation right away. I am thinking that maybe Sam's wall will go leak slowly then eventually a big break will occur. I guess we do not know how messed up Sam will be but I think Dean will try to maintain normalcy once Sam is up and about. Dean maybe even a little more protective then his usual self. I think this episode has some good possibilities. Sam will always be a mystery that is what makes his character great. Jared has done an awesome job with Sam this year. Now we have to see him flip back but I wonder what little differences may still be lingering inside of Sam.
ReplyDeleteSeriously? People are now dragging this thing over here too? This is why I and many other people left the supernatural_tv comm over on LJ - people over there couldn't stop bitching about how this or that character got more attention. Will you now start counting it down to seconds of screen time each character gets too? And no, I'm not kidding, there really are people who do that.
ReplyDeleteConsidering the whole season arc is Sam-centric, I honestly don't get what people complain about. No matter what, this fandom is never happy.
I don't think Death's coming back. "DEATH RETURNS FOR A MEETING WITH DEAN" was used as a tag line for "Appointment in Samarra" and I think someone just forgot to change it.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I think that someone made a mistake there...
ReplyDeleteCounting the second of screen time? LOL! Hardly. I've never been to the other forum you mention so I can't comment on what goes on there. I just come to this forum when I'm working on my computer at home and need a mental break. Last year I followed Lost, this year Supernatural. I'm not twittering about TV shows all day long or anything like that and my comments usually aren't so critical, but I thought sharing your opinion when you have something on your mind was kind of the point of going to a TV forum. Agreed?
ReplyDeleteI know, lol. I use the "lol' acronym and :) like a million times. I feel like a cheerleader sometimes. Hmmm...you know, a way to fix this would be to have a font color system going. red = anger, blue = sad, yellow = neutral/unsure, pink = playful, green = happy, purple = passion. It will look just like a MMORPG chat box.
ReplyDeleteLOL!
/grabs Wilson and Chris in a bear hug.
ReplyDeleteI'm a goober, lol.
lol That's funny cause people say (and by this I mean my family who are all addicted to SPN) that I act like Sam...and yet, I'm the older brother and I am inclined to agree with some things Dean says/does sort've in a similar way. But yeah, this "Samgirl, Deangirl" thing has always been annoying to me and pretty much counters a lot of things that SPN is about...I mean, it's like some people just stare at the leads and ignore the fact that good tv with good writing is on. :/
ReplyDeleteI can agree with you on that :) I totally agree that people can get kind of grouchy the longer the hellaitus continues. It is kind of like getting around someone who is really hungry. They can get down right vicious without food (by the way....I know this b/c that is in my personality. I can't concentrate and feel distracted when I am really hungry :) ) I am a Winchester Clan fan and refuse to jump into the drama of deciding who is better or who is not getting enough air time. I use SPN to escape the reality and drama of my day to day life and thus do not want anything to muddle up my hour of complete oblivious joy :) All I know is that if either one of the boys were gone....the show would be useless. It WORKS b/c they WORK. It is as simple as that :)
ReplyDeletehaha that's what my mind jumped to as well.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. I admit that I'm getting really irked when I read "It's Dean-centric again!" these days. Honestly, the whole season is about Sam and his problems told from Dean's POV. I just don't get what peeps complain about.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the last true "Sam episode" was When the Levees Break. He had some good moments towards the end of Season 5 like in Point of No Return and the Devil You Know, but none of them was obviously a Sam episode... Time is a significant consideration in my determination of whether an episode is Sam or Dean centric, but how much we learn about a character is the primary determinant. Many episodes are neither... kind of like Free to Be You and Me and Scare Crow.
ReplyDeleteIn at least the last 2+ years, Sam's biggest moments tend to get overshadowed by Dean's except in a small handful of episodes... For example, even though Sam had a great part in On the Head of a Pin, the big reveal about drinking demon blood and killing Alistair was totally over shadowed by Dean being forced to torture Alistair and ending up seriously injured... Also, in that episode, the writers totally skipped the scene that I wanted to see most. Every time Dean is in the hospital, I want to see Sam there when he wakes up.... Instead we saw Castiel. I loved the "Miracle! Now!" with Sam and Castiel, but why couldn't we have some conscious Dean with Castiel AND Sam? I would compare that time to all of the times that Sam has been hospitalized, but we haven't had any.
Even if Sam is afraid of scratching at the wall... I want to see his fear... especially if I am not going to get any more information about his time in the cage... Heck, I want to see Dean worrying about it also. I have really missed protective!Dean... I just don't want to have to guess at Sam's motivations any more.
I liked your post, especially the last paragraph. Talking about guessing at Sam's motivations was kind of what I was getting at. I liked the character development of both characters in seasons 1-4, even though there were some pretty big holes. For example, I'm still not sure they explained whether Sam's connection with Lucifer was all about the blood, or whether, as Ruby said, he didn't need the blood - he had it in him all of the time. And if it was Sam and not the blood, why? He's obsessive and sometimes angry, but so wasn't John, and John was the vessel for Michael. He's a little prideful but no more than most people I know. Why was he the obvious ruler for Hell? I'd like more clarification on that, as well as on what was really the deal behind all of YED's talk about Sam leading the army and the visions and all that. If YED's endgame was always that Sam be Lucifer's vessel, all of that extra prep with Sam and the other children seems like overkill since all they had to do with Adam was trap him in a room with Michael. Maybe the show will revisit this, but it's also possible that they'll just move on from here.
ReplyDeleteIn season 5, the story and the character development shifted more toward Dean, and that made some sense in terms of the story arc. Sam's last big character development (prior to the plunge) was the realization that he had let Lucifer out, and this was all dealt with in the beginning of season 5. The rest of season five dealt with Dean's doubts and decision whether to say yes to Michael. My main criticism with season 5 as far as Sam's character development goes is that when Sam considered saying yes, we saw very little of his his internal struggle with the decision to jump into Hell. Instead we saw it mostly from Dean's perspective. What we saw was Dean's struggle with whether to let Sam do it.
People are saying this season is about Sam, but it's really about the mystery of what happened to Sam, what the thing is that was walking around calling itself Sam, and Dean's reaction to all of this. Likewise, season 1 was about the mystery and aftermath of Mary's death (Jess's copycat death, John's disappearance, etc.), but I wouldn't say the season was about the character Mary. Someone made a comment in another post that we're grouchy because of the Hellatus. RoboSam, with his lack of empathy and lack of social skills, didn't do anything for me, so I passed grumpy somewhere around November. I was OK with Sam fading into the background for a while in season 5 as long as he came back again, but we're 11 episodes into season 6 and we've still gotten nothing in terms of Sam's perspective.
The common assumption among fans seems to be that Sam is going to be back to old Sam when the season starts up again, but there was a comment I read somewhere (I think it was the TV Guide article) that hinted that Bobby has doubts as to whether it's the real Sam back. Since Bobby has good instincts, I'm interpreting that as Sam still being off in some way, and the show milking the mystery of what Sam is even longer. This promo that Sam is going to start off his return by sleeping it off seems to back up what I was thinking. If they intend to keep this mystery/film noir feeling going the whole season, we might go the full season before seeing what's in Sam's head. In hindsight I probably should have worded my original comment, "He's ***ing sleeping?" rather than making it a Sam vs. Dean thing, but it's done now. And for those who say it makes sense that he sleeps, he was awake when we last saw him, and the writers could have easily set up the new show so that the story takes up about ten hours later when Sam wakes up.
This is awesome! The show is going to pick up right where it left off! I hope Jan. 28th gets here quickly! I am so excited for this episode to get here!
ReplyDeleteWhen Dean got pulverized in On the Head of a Pin he was right back in the game the next episode... During In My Time of Dying, Dean was on life support, but was still the primary character through the entire episode.
ReplyDeleteSam finally has his soul back and some of us are hoping to see a lot of real Sam because we have been starved for some Sammy time this season. If the writers leave him flat on his back for too long, I will be very disappointed unless Dean is at his bedside for a good portion of it.
When was the last time anybody can recall an episode that runs for more than 5 minutes without any Dean in it? I can't think of one in Season 6 or 5, but in Season 6, there have already been two without any Sam (Samarra he didn't appear till about 9 minutes in and Main Street 15 minutes). Then, of course there is the nearly 10 solid minutes of only Dean when he went off to find his "maker" in Twihard. Sam and Samuel had to stay back in the hotel because they smelled like food...
I couldn't find one example in all of Season 5 or Season 6 where Sam had 9 consecutive minutes without Dean... Although I guess it would be possible in Free to Be You and Me because that was a balanced episode that spent time with both brothers one at a time... However, if there is a 9 minute segment of Sam only, there would be a 9 minute segment of Dean to balance it...
The writers just don't seem to do that... I would think that
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm a very detailed oriented person and I have problems getting my point across with the proper tone all of the time. I love writing posts nearly as long as small books on just about every topic and people think I am "ranting" when I am just trying to have a discussion or gather information.
ReplyDeleteI am a person that keeps stats on many of the episodes that I use for Trivia contests that include things such as whether the Impala was in the episode and who was driving, the name of the diners, motels, color schemes... Whenever I am running through an episode I always try to grab another quote, detail, or statistic.
Yes, it may seem like I have too much time on my hands, but my kids are grown up and I am a computer professional. Databases are my life and I am always playing with metadata trying to find a better way to accumulate information. I used to concentrate on my book collection, but Supernatural is a lot more fun and many of the fans know even more than I do about certain details. I then use some of the techniques I develop on the job.
I completely agree. PHEW. (Dean is my favorite, so I don't object to Dean-centric) And I love my Sammy too (it would be IMPOSSIBLE to watch this show if you only liked one of the brothers), and I'm glad he got his soul back. Can't WAIT for the rest of the season.
