    I thought it was pretty great. One of those ones that the show does effortlessly. They manage to balance the content, having fun with it and stitching it all together.

    Hacker girl was rather cute - personality/characterwise and in other ways. :o

    Felt like a rake of pop culture references in there.


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 17,994 Mod ✭✭✭✭ixoy


    Great fun - They got the humour, they made great nods to the spy genre, Bobby was in it, good guest star in Felicia Day, and they also finally moved the main plot arc along!

    Best moment was when Dean was feeding her chat-up lines ("This never happened") and Sam muffling his laughter with his hands.


  • Registered Users Posts: 537 ✭✭✭angelll


    Dean & the security guard was hilarious alright :) I liked felicia day in eureka,glad she got to live in supernatural anyway!

    Hardly shocking to anyone following the numbers, but CW has now renewed it for a whopping 8th season!!

    Lost interest at the beginning of season 7... Is it worth my while catching up again over the summer (considering it has been renewed)?

    I don't see how anyone could answer your question.

    This season has been very episodic...so in a way its back to its roots. On the other hand one of the show runners from season 3-5 is back on board so it may get arc like from next season on.

    So whatever for you.

    Really enjoyed this episode. I think this might have been mainly due to Felicia Day but the ep as a whole was solid. Great banter from the brothers too. YAY! :D

    Nice try, zero charisma!

    I see Episode 21 AND 22 appear to be out. Is 22 legit? I'm meant to hold off on this if so...

    That's weird. I don't think 22 is legit, but i don't know that for fact. This season is 23 eps also so i'm guessing if they done a
    double maybe would be 22 & 23.

    Odd indeed as the episode guide websites still list Ep 22 on next week and 23 the week after.

    EDIT: Okay the Ep 22 links have all gone. Weird. Did I dream it? Or were they pulled?

    Haha I guess we'll only find out if someone starts posting here about Ep22


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,439 ✭✭✭Skinfull


    According to tv.com (my source for all things episodic!) E22 isnt going aired until 11th May.

    Meanwhile, back in E21... not sure what to make of it.
    Love having Cas back. but its a different Cas, a different character and I dunno if I like him yet.

    On a side note... how about a mass viewing of Supernatural? Seeing as its on Friday night, and we all "acquire" it sat morning. How about we set aside a time on a sat and all watch together. Posting, chatting, observing etc while the show is on, rather than after the fact. Anyone up for it?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 18,505 CMod ✭✭✭✭The Black Oil


    I'd be up for an online commentary, though I try to study on Saturdays.

    How about for the season finale?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,965 ✭✭✭Syferus


    Do people actually want to be typing up stuff while the show is on, though? I know what I want to do when when I'm watching a show or film is kick back and concentrate on just it.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 18,505 CMod ✭✭✭✭The Black Oil


    Yeah, you're bound to lose something flipping between keyboard and screen. Unless we watch it independently first and then set a time to watch it again as a group.


  • Registered Users Posts: 537 ✭✭✭angelll


    How's about we all watch at the same time so and then come on here straight after. Say 10am on sat? And then meet here at 11am?

    I have exam Saturday but that sounds like interesting idea for you to try

    Carry on my wayward son ...




    edit: wait, I thought it was the finale this week? They can't do the finale without the song can they?



    edit2: wait, the finale is next week. Thank god for that, I thought it was he worst finale ever :)

    "See you next season" :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,282 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Really underwhelmed with this season. I hope the leviathan story is wrapped up. It seems every scene with them is played for a laugh, except with what happened to Bobby of course. But how serious could they be when they name the boss Dick, just so they can make a load of jokes.
    And this week's episode didn't leave me looking forward to the finale.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    I kind of think dick is different enough from the other big bads of the series that keeps him interesting but keeps that same smugness that makes them so easy to like as baddies.

    He's kind of somewhere between yellow eyes and Lucifer, yeah he doesnt carry the same imdpending doom of ancient prophecy both of them had but he does seem to be first actual villain (crowley doesnt count) to actually cut the horse**** and just hammer his way to the top.

    I enjoyed this episode, the long running *pie* gag finally got a quality payoff in this episode, and Sam going all healthy food really called back to the first season chemistry between the two.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 18,505 CMod ✭✭✭✭The Black Oil


    Liked this one - thought it pulsed along pretty well. They're still getting a lot of mileage out of Dick, but there were other jokes in there as well. They manage to keep him interesting as a villain as his role is pretty non-combative. Most of the weapon is in hand now, but it's never that simple. Liked seeing the Alpha guy again, obvious his daughter was too sweet and innocent.

    Rabbit food!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,533 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Hmm... it was a good finale, but I didn't like some aspects.

    The traditional Carry On My Wayward Son segment made the season look better than it actually was. Bobby's final exit felt a bit flat, and I don't understand how it spurred Cas into helping. The whole leviathan story ended on a whimper too, a bit of a limp dick. :o

    Good hook for the next season though....I expect Cas has gone to find the fallen garrison to help their chances of survival, and next season will hopefully be back to Crowley/Heaven/Hell/God etc. which I'm very happy about.

    It'll be weird watching Supernatural on Thursday though.... I kind of got used to my Saturday morning session with the Winchesters.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 18,505 CMod ✭✭✭✭The Black Oil


    Shameless Impala porn. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,282 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Main reason to watch the finale is for the "Carry on my Wayward Son" bit. :)

    Personally I think that was the worst season. Was grand but not as good as I've come to expect.

    Bobby moving on was pretty low key. And was that fire really hot or was the flask just made from really soft metal?

    But looks like Cas is sane now, though stuck in purgatory. And I think the reason he decided to help was seeing them letting Bobby go and what this fight has cost them.

    Think Meg could be a bigger part next season?

    I dont know about it being the worse, I found season 3 to be a bit of a struggle to get through and that had the advantage of being smack bang in the middle of the series's main lore (seasons 1-5)

    But it was not a strong ending, perhaps they had bigger things planned before they got the a-ok for a another season so a lot of things might have got toned down.


    though

    I'd noticed they had a shot of the kitsune woman dean killed in the carry on montage, and now dean is trapped in the purgatory where he sent her. Might make for an interesting reunion.

    Oh and I really hope Crowley isnt going to be the big bad :( I like him way too much to have him be killed off. I love his Moose comments to Sam.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 18,505 CMod ✭✭✭✭The Black Oil


    I like Crowley, but the amount of times they've brought him back now is just ridiculous. He needs to be killed off, permanently, and not keep being brought back as the wild card.

    Misha Collins stood out in this one. I liked the scene when Meg, Crowley, Cas and the two brothers were in the log cabin/hideout. Not often you those 5 together, thought it worked pretty well.

    As for the demise of Dick, they've done that sort of thing before. False attempt, then bam. I don't mind.

    So Dean went to hell and was brought back and sam didn't know...then sam went to hell and was brought back and dean didn't know...and now Dean is in purgatory so i'll throw a wild card in there and guess he'll be brought back and sam won't know,yawn. I LOVE supernatural but this season as a whole was a bit blah,will keep watching though :)


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 9,689 Mod ✭✭✭✭stevenmu


    It was as good a finale as they could have for this season I think. There was some decent episodes, but on the whole the main season arc wasn't as gripping as some other seasons I think. They did play the "Carry on my wayward son" bit though which for some reason always makes it special, and they made good use of bringing the Impala back, after being absent so long I was delighted to see a return like that (though a little disappointed that it was Meg driving :)). I hope season 8 is a bit better though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,965 ✭✭✭Syferus


    It was definitely not the weakest season, and the vitality the series still has after seven seasons and 149 episodes is exceptional.

    This wasn't the best season but it was well plotted out with a good mixture of drama, comedy and story arc, they've mastered how to tie monster-of-the-week stories into the emotional storyline of the characters. We got Bobby's death, a ghost bobby and his final good-bye. Cas went from being God to dead to healer to fruit loop and the brothers continuing their numbing journey into darkness. I'm happy they didn't kill Crowley, yet at least. Better the enemy you know than the one you don't and we certainly needed a break from demons being a focus of the show.

    Purgatory has huge potential, with alot of old friends having the chance to reappear - every monster they've killed is there and it's likely demons that were properly 'killed', like Yellow-Eyes and Lilth, are there too. Hell, even Bobby is probably there. It has alot going for it that hell didn't, not least the idea that all these souls need not be evil - the whole purpose of purgatory is to cleanse souls for entrance into heaven. If season eight proved to be the final season - and on current evidence even that's questionable - it would make for a beautiful send-off.

    Argh, song stuck in my head and not Carry On...

    "Starry Starry night..."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,974 ✭✭✭Backstreet Moyes


    Is their going to be another season. Thought it ended last episode i saw they showed into the future where Dean is living with a woman thought that was the end of it.

    that was 2 seasons a go.

    They started a new story arc last season that brought the two brothers back together.

    thanks only really got into it while they were showing all the episodes on tv3 every night awhile ago and thought that was the end of it.

    Well it was done as a possible ending - it was Season 5 and sort of written as the end of one plot arc. I can see why you might've thought that.
    However, it got renewed and then renewed again and now renewed again so there's plenty more left.

    Just finished episode 10, Death's Door and it may very well be the best episode of the show I've ever seen. Bobby telling the reaper that he won't let go and die because someone needs to look after Sam and Dean is one of the most tear inducing moments ive ever seen. "I don't care, they're my boys" managed in a few words to sum up just what made Bobby such a great character. He's the emotional center of the show and his absence will be felt. Bobby has always been the best character in the show and the closest we've ever got to how I image a hunter looks. He looks liked he would be more at home sitting atop a horse in the old west.

    Bobby's final confrontation with his dad is just a brilliantly handled scene and the dialogue finially allowed Bobby to state just how much he loved his two "idjits"

    "Kids ain't supposed to be grateful. They're supposed to eat your food and break your heart, ya selfish dick! You died and I was still so afraid I'd turn into you, I never even had kids of my own."

    " As fate would have it, I adopted two boys. And they grew up great. They grew up heroes."
