Mark Sheppard tweeted "Did y'all ever consider that the whole Fergus story was BS?" and considering his history with Naomi I don't think he was /just/ a human who went to Hell. Personally pulling for him to have been an angel at some point though he's consistently identified with demons enough throughout that he…

I'd love for Adam to be a season 9 or 10 Big Bad tbh

Crossing my fingers that a future plotline will include sealing off Heaven and Bobby, Jo, Ellen, Ash, Pamela will be their inside operatives.

I got the impression from what we learned in S1/2 and at the beginning of this season that there are various Hell Gates all around the world, I guess where Hell is just somehow closer to the surface, that are generally closed but not locked so they can sort of swing open or new ones can be sort of poked through using…

definitely not hating but…it's literally not even misha as cas??

The point of the Dean and Cas's relationship is that it isn't homoerotic subtext, they have a con/textualized, mutually-shared importance to each other that far more closely resembles the romantic and spousal than the platonic, sibling-familial

Angel blade, I think. They seem to be the new Colt - kill anything and everything. Though there was an episode earlier where someone needed to kill a reaper and I think the weapon of choice was a scythe?

I think it's implied in DSotM that John and Mary are somewhere (together, as soul mates do) in Heaven. Part of me was hoping Crowley would stop Sam and Bobby from leaving and demand satisfaction in the form of an soul in exchange and John Winchester was going to get dragged back to Hell. Where he belonged - zero love…

Angels have always looked like people in Heaven (unless Zachariah's spotlight in Heaven was actually him…somehow) so though true-form demons would have ruled I think it was in keeping with the show's logic.

Good point, I always forget how important Changing Channels was plot-wise because it was so frickin' awesome in general. On the plus side, Robbie Thompson is writing and I have a lot of faith in the guy so no matter what I think it'll be better than the preview suggests

@avclub-3e89778b9ef82189a336a84b1546c976:disqus Yeah, the only reason I'd see it as slightly different is because Sam was Lucifer's vessel so I'd thought that's why he was able to track him/dream-walk where as Crowley doesn't have any sort of bond with Kevin (unless Crowley really is an angel and Kevin is his vessel…

Seriously, the speed at which she changed tactic was terrifying. I'm really hoping the little bit of self-worth Dean's acquired this season will keep him from taking her "I only wish he felt the same way" line to heart. Naomi dat was cold.

Really good question. Would not expect Bucker/Ross-Leming to be able to answer it in the least. At least the portal topside was repeatedly stressed to be a human portal but this backdoor was monster-friendly for all we know, maybe monsters just didn't /want/ to get into hell (although maybe humans getting into…

i accept this

Ooo, that's interesting, especially since angel would have access. I'd originally assumed it was Crowley but sort of in a similar vein to how Lucifer dream-stalked Sam when he couldn't pin point his location

I'm not a fan of this writing team (you may remember them from such episodes as Route 666, The Slice Girls, Heartache, Man's Best Friend with Benefits among other winners) but I thought it was overall a compelling episode. Though there was so much plot going on it'd have been hard to drop the ball too much unlike a…

literally so obvious phil didn't pay attention to the episode that they have a random stock photo of misha collins as the article image

"Maybe they won't be the only ones" - I think Moose is still holding out for his apple-pie

I think Adam was probably they're first choice (the reasoning behind Bobby being in Hell is pretty arbitrary) but Jake Abel was filming elsewhere when they filmed the episode so I hear and bringing Jim Beaver back, albeit briefly, is guaranteed to tug some heartstrings

Actually Sam hands Bobby a tablet (probably an iPad?) in Mommy Dearest to which Bobby complains 'I asked for a computer…a computer has /buttons/' and Dean is pretty up-to-date on pop culture (he referenced Zero Dark Thirty last week) I always thought of his time capsule image as a reflection of John Winchester's…
