I think that Death is probably fairly ambivalent about the rogue reapers. As long as they are reaping souls they need to, I don't think he cares what they do or where they coyote the souls too.

Ugh, but sh'e just the worst. She can't even say bagel right.

She really was the Britta of this show.

Actually Tracy isn't a retconned hunter associate, she is just a new hunter Sam and Dean have met,Irv is the one with retconned back history, and well he was killed.

Tracy was taken immediately after she killed the vamp, there was no time to change her clothes. I can't really seem to think of any other female characters that were represented as "sexualized," in anyway. Unless you're talking about how Pamela Barnes was kind of a letch?

It's a Hammond organ actually.

You're not old, I'm 27 and do not understand the appeal of them.

Motel rooms, HBO, downtime, etc…..

I thought she was fine, and her introduction did end with her chopping off a vampire's head. So I'd say she was portrayed as fairly strong and competent.

Considering they've shifted episodes 5, 6, and 7 around, that's when the'll get into stand alones. Although episode 4 is the Men of Letters flashback one, but I think it'll have less to do with the overall season mythology.

Eh, Crowley is evil though, it's within the parameters of his character to say that.

Carver did mentioned that the theme of the season was consequences, at first I thought it was the consequences of keeping Hell open and how Dean saved Sam.

There were two the police station little girl, and little girl who's family she was "living" with while on vacation.

Metatron's spell was specifically to expel the angels from Heaven.

Plus they spend a lot of time in motel rooms, law of averages would suggest that they see fairly new movies from time to time.

I took that as more of a Star Wars reference.

Dean can never fully shake off forty years of torture, and torturing people in Hell.

Get a blog dude, there's no need for another review in the comments.

At least they aren't just reusing photos from season six, like they did for the season seven and eight posters.

She mentioned she wanted to take over Hell, make the demons stronger, set them free across the Earth.
