That hug from behind and that "Take care, Sammy". :3
Whoo-hoo, Donna and Mary, two of my least favorite recurring characters. At least they've both become more tolerable with time. Still waiting for Mary to die for good, though.
I'm reeeeally not liking this "Nick is a psycho" plot
Really? You have a box sealed with ANGEL magic, yet a basic power drill can get through it in 4 seconds?
Sam sure as hell didn't care about a brother being locked away for eternity with Michael when it was Adam...

Can they just kill off Nick ?
Lucifer planning the whole Nick's family murder, shocked the total of 0 people, we been knew this since the beginning. WHAT WAS THE POINT
This show is at its best when Team Winchester works together and kicks ass. In this one, Dean goes off alone. It's at its best when they communicate and work a common plan. In this one, Dean gets secretive. Again. It's at its best when they use witty dialogue to cut the tension that largely defines the show. In this one, they traded tension for angst. Lots of angst. Way too much angst.
"I didn't have a choice! Sam, you're the last person I could tell, the last person I could be aeound, 'cause you're the only one that could've talked me out of it. And I won't be talked out of it. I won't. I'm doing this. Now, you can either let me do it alone or you could help me. But I'm doing this".
Supernatural wouldn't be the same without a brief tearing-up scene at the end of an episode and without giving me feelings and feelings. Even without speaking, damn these guys, that was impeccable writing.
That last scene was all the preparation I needed. It's like when you train before running a marathon. You know it's going to hurt and it's gonna be tough, but you need to get accustomed to it. That ending was good practice for the long tear-up session I expect episode 300th to be. I'm already collecting all the handkerchief boxes I come across.
The episode wasn't perfect but it was good enough to keep me hooked. I expected some parts to turn out different, though.
Whenever there are two hugs at the beginning of the episode, you already know something bad is about to happen. Supernatural is like that. I love the boys when they finally open up, but I can't help to love when they sort of begin to stutter when they enter the feeling territory. It's the same uncomfortable feeling I get whenever face that situation myself.
Brotherly conflict in this show is a must. So the conflict at the end was absolutely necessary. Yeah, one can argue, "Dean's got that sense of hopelessness and he believes he's past the point of saving...again", but, leaving the clear Mark-of-Cain business and Sam-jumping-into-the-cage deja vus, this conflict seemed different. At least they sorted it out real quick and wasn't stretched for 3 or 4 episodes. That's progress!
I liked Dean's farewell tour. It was refreshing watching him talking alone with other cast members. And I need more Dean-Donna scenes. I always thought they made an interesting duo. I especially loved how pisses off Sam got at the end and how much he accentuated the whole situation saying it was fucked up. The only thing I didn't agree with was the fact that Dean left without saying goodbye to Cas and Jack, especially the former. No kidding. It made no freaking sense.
The fact that this storyline is similar to the Mark of Cain one can't be argued. It's an understantement. However, they seem slightly different to me. Again, maybe it's just me, but this storyline is one that I expect to be quickly resolved, at least quicker than the Mark of Cain. The characters seemed more mature and the whole situation seemed less melodramatic. Maybe it was the farewell tour, maybe it was the conflict at the end, or maybe it was that I've seen this show too many times that I can actually differentiate even the most insignificant gesture, I don't know.
Yeah, hopeless Dean insists on needing to be trapped (or worse) because otherwise the world is gonna be destroyed, and Sam keeps on insisting on finding a way to save him. Same story. Same conflict. Same old family arguments. But something feels different to me. Maybe the key is the fact that it wasn't unnecessarily stretched out.
"Since when do we believe in fate?" Sam's line was spot on. That excact sentence popped in my head the minute Dean talked about fate. Was that box really in Billie's book? It seems pretty specific, tbh.
Now, let's move on to Nick's murdering tour. Next chapter: Abraxas. Kidding aside, that encounter couldn't have been more obvious and predictable. I'm a tad mad with Mary for not pushing back and willingly going with Nick.
It was nice seeing Nick again after not having seen him for a couple of episodes. His craziness gets me hooked and he was still menacing. I enjoyed his storyline pretty much, but what can I say? Anything with Mark Pellegrino is appealing to me.
When Nick started his murdering tour I thought about him being a psycho from the get go, no PTSD involved, and that being the reason why Lucifer chose him. Therefore, I expected Abraxas to be someone. However, it turns out Nick wasn't especial at all. He was just there and wasn't chosen for any particular reason. If you think about it, it's pretty gutting and adds to poor Nick's tragic story. Now that he has achieved his revenge, there's no other possibility for him than giving his content to Lucifer. Nick's storyline isn't over yet, they've already teased Lucifer's return so..I still wonder what the hell he's doing in the Empty.
I can't wait to see how this evolves. Last episode was great, dark and gloomy, and so was this. I hope there's of the season to be like this, and giving the direction this season is going to, I expect nothing else. I can't wait for Mary and John to meet; I can't wait for John to meet Cas, and I can't wait to know how Jeffrey Dean Morgan fits in all of this. I'm guessing he'll be taking Dean's place somehow. Also, John and Mary were definitely made for each other.
This was ok. Not great but ok. I enjoyed visiting Donna. It was also good to find out what kind of cockamamie plan Billie gave to Dean. Why the heck would Dean trust her that much. She's been out for him for a long time. Eternity in a box might just be her idea of punishment. I still say pull the other Michael out of the box and rehab him.
Nick's story is also ok. I'm hoping to see him transform into a demon. Maybe a prince or a knight.
Speculation on my part.
In 2 episode it's the 300th. JDM will be on the show. Dad, John Winchester. Maybe he takes Deans place in the box?
Generally I’m a fan of episodes written by Davy Perez, but this one bored me. Mainly because I DONT CARE ABOUT NICK AND WANT PELLEGRINO WRITTEN OFF THE SHOW FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL. I also don’t care about Mary. Sam, Donna, and my darling Birthday Boy Dean were the only parts I enjoyed.

LOVE nick going crazy over finding his family's murderer. honestly enjoy it more than the michael storyline
also, maybe im dumb or something but if dean's willing to get shipped out to the bottom of the ocean to live with michael for eternity then why dont they use the archangel blade and just kill dean/michael? did they lose it or break it or something?
