Supernatural - Season 10 *Spoilers*

The sooner this season ends the better, disjointed with no real running theme, worst season bar the Leviathan season in my eyes.

I do feel in retrospect that season 8 was probably the latter seasons peak, the whole gates of hell, angel's and demon tablets probably would have made a good finale over all, one brother sacrifices themselves to put and end to it yada yada Cas takes out Amanda Tapping and sorts heaven out etc. Season 9 and now 10 have been pretty aimless and overall not too interesting, I even prefer season 7's Leviathan to the current stuff tbh never understood the hate for it at all, you had great wit between Crowley/Meg/Cas/Dick Roman etc A serious character death we could truly mourn, the introduction of Charlie too. I often watch clips of older seasons and ep's on youtube but don't think i've rewatched anything relating to the last two seasons

I thought the latter half of Season 7 (Leviathan Season) was absolutely brilliant, but the first half was a bit all over the place and seemed like the show had lost the run of itself a bit, but they came back from that and the second half of Season 7 and all of Season 8 were brilliant.

They just need something to liven things up a bit again next year - we all know Dean will more than likely have the mark removed by the season finale, and perhaps Sam will kill Crowley, but overall there's not much exciting happening at the moment - they need a new big bad of some sort, which may require them to move away from Heaven and Hell for awhile...

Greek Gods anyone???

I can't help but feel that episode gave some closure to Castiel's character. I hope that's not telegraphing a shock in the finale....

Imagine if Dean did the unthinkable?

She can't be gone. I haven't watched any promos to avoid spoilers, but killing her just to drive Dean over the edge is a bad idea. Not because it'd be a valid reason for him to go full on evil, but because she was basically killed by a minor monster, since think this is only the second week we've encountered this family.

On another note, I'm confused about Castiel. I thought he was full angel again after getting his powers back, yet he still seems to be pretty powerless going by last week and this week.

Just thinking, what are the chances that they'll use Episode 200's version of Carry On My Wayward Son for the season finale this time?

Edit: Was just watching and they don't have the instrumental part for all the stuff that happened

Part of me was expecting Charlie to open her eyes and say psych with a big smile.

That's why I was asking if he got his full angel powers back. I remember thinking something last week about him not using his powers as well. Think was when he didn't teleport to help Claire at the barn.

And can see no reason for him having to keep an eye on Rowena. Not like Sam was always there before he told Cas and Charlie about her.

Average enough finale to an average season.

Unless you've seen some unreleased episode, the season finale is next week. Dean beating the snot out of Cas is hardly a finale worthy cliffhanger, even in the worst season...

Jesus, I thought... just for a second... yikes. Was anyone else waiting for a white light?

Great episode. I guess the Steins aren't sticking around after all.

I thought it was a pretty good episode.

I will say that they've introduced and done away with a lot of interesting characters/storylines this season. However, I doubt that's the last of the Steins. Sure, a bit of a lightning storm, and a passing knowledge of high school science, and Old Man Stein should be back on his (or someone elses) feet. Or pop his brain into young wosshisname Stein's body, the one Dean murdered, and surely he's good for another episode or 5.

I did like Cas's speech about when Dean turns, and lives for centuries, all his family will be gone, but Cas will remain, and have to be the one that takes him down.

And by fúck, am I glad to see the King of Hell get back to being a badass. Rowena was right, he's pussied out a lot lately. He's a vile, vicious, conniving, underhanded crossroads demon, that is the KING of Hell. He took over from Lucifer. He should be the one that, when he turns up, they exclaim "Awww, hell no!"

Liiiiiittle bit underwhelmed. Great seeing Death back (even though it was spoiled by the credits at the start), but Rowena is still alive, Crowley is still alive, Sam and Dean are still alive, Castiel is still alive.

The mark is gone, but they added a MacGuffin ("The Darkness") to replace it and drive Season 11.

They've done better season finales in the past.

My comment from last week still stands.

Average enough finale to an average season.

I liked how they just used both.

Pretty meh finale, I thought, but sounds about right for the season overall.

And now they'll probably do the usual thing next year where the first episode or 2 will deal with the immediate fallout and then somehow we won't see or hear anything about for another few episodes. Just reminded me of the leviathan.

And not like Dean to miss the chance to make a band reference with all the mentions of The Darkness.

Sounds like Jared's dealing with burn out.

Wow I'd forgotten what his real voice sounded like.. I wish they'd all just speak normally on the show like in the first season or so instead of doing that awful deep voice Cas seems to have toned his down recently though, thankfully.

In fairness, they've done better seasons in the past. This one was pretty bad overall.

only got around to seeing this today, both due to personal issues but also a sense of meh to the overall arc this season. Not saying the season was crap, I think there have been some outstanding stand alone episodes, but the arc with Rowena, the mark etc has been subpar.

I think back in the season 9 thread that I criticized it's finale for cleaning things up way too quickly, with both the abaddon and metatron issues being resolved too quickly

I stand by that the issues with 10 start there and lead into what they wanted to do in 10 with demon dean was just not enough leading to a big empty hole in the middle of 10 that could have been filled easily if 1 of the 2 issues of 9 was still left kicking but I imagine they hoped Rowena would fill that hole which has been a dreadful mistake.

She was a good notion initially but the horrendously over the top accent and stagnant plot has turned her into the most unlikeable character in the series.

I really hope death's not dead cause then it'sa crappy situation where death when he was first introduced was considered on par with God for power has just been killed off by a fake out from Dean Winchester


As for season 11, I am nervous, the darkness could just end up being like the leviathans all over again or the fallen angels. Great intro but in the end the pay off isnt great.

I enjoyed this weeks episode. About time the car got its own episode (kinda)
