That scene usually leaves me in tears.

Oddly enough, my little sister was chiefly responsible for introducing me to Amadeus. When we were kids, she had a habit of taping movies during those fleeting free premium channel weekends and watching the shit out of them. Luckily, she had decent taste for an 8 year-old. You could drop the needle anywhere on Amadeus…

I'm still holding out hope that Kevin's ghost will haunt the Men of Letters' bunker.

I'm not surprised. They've passed her over for all kinds of great acting.

I don't know if I just imagined this in my angry and incredulous state, but was Kevin's name written in a cheesy Chinese takeout font? (C'mon, Metatron, he's Vietnamese, for fuck's sake.)

It was before I bought it, and I didn't even know until a friend/neighbor mentioned it. That's my only brush with Hollywood South. Meanwhile, my sister knows Brangelina's local bodyguard and has had some John Goodman and D.J. Qualls sightings.

I think the possibility of expulsion was the result of Sam not giving informed consent to be Zeke's vessel — and the fact that this is a guy who wrested control of his own body from Lucifer himself. That also raises the question of whether he could be possessed by a lesser angel. Post apocalypse, what has become of…

How many angels can die on the head of a pin?

Ah, gotcha. I thought you meant that they'd arbitrarily bumped him up, as opposed to actually giving him more lines & screen time.

I desperately wanted that to be true, even though it wouldn't jibe with the Team Free Will spirit of the show. Unless Future Dean finds some way to salvage Sam. No one ever comes right out and says that it's Lucifer possessing Sam in "The End", right?

Can you do that with actors? I thought the position in the credits was governed by the number of speaking appearances in a season. (Not that I'm an expert — my house was on Tremé, and a good friend of mine was an anonymous butler on American Horror Story, so I don't actually know anyone/thing who's had a speaking role…

To be honest, I'm a sucker for good quips and jokes in an episode, and this writing duo rubs me wrong because they never seem to summon up any. That and they don't seem to have a good grasp of the show's tone. They're also credited as co-executive producers this season, but I see about a dozen (mostly more worthy)…

In retrospect, though, everyone pissed and moaned incessantly whenever Zeke popped even for a few minutes in the standalone eps to remind viewers that Sam's possession was an ongoing thing. If "Zeke" had stayed quiet after the season opener, they'd probably be whining about how this twist came out of nowhere.

Maybe I'm being possessed by the specter of Phil, but this was C territory in my book. Admittedly, I got tired of the angel mythology a long time ago, and I'm waiting for it be set aside in favor of something fresher. Seriously, the aftermath of the averted apocalypse made for some uninspired writing way back when the…

B+. I was over the moon to see Jody back, I liked Honor a lot, a few good jokes, great motel room decor, and a nice bit of emo at the end. The de-powered god MotW wasn't anything special, the porn star bit was cheesy and unprofessional of Dean, but it didn't hit the gender studies sore spot with me that it did with…

No, that's exactly what I thought/hoped might happen, what with them both grieving for Bobby and being in a weird place emotionally so that they might go for it that one time. I still hold out hope.

I liked the idea of Amelia a lot better than its execution.

It's hard to know what Zeke could be up to because so much of the angel mythos seems to have been pulled out of someone's ass and put on the angel tablet as a convenient plot device. I'm still wondering how Kevin missed any and all references to Sam dying upon completion of the trials while Naomi knew all about it.…

Hey, cut her some slack. Good-fitting bras are hard to come by, and they aren't cheap. Maybe she hasn't been able to afford a proper one since all the porn money dried up.

A lot of Dean's hookups have been pretty cheesy and cheesily depicted, especially in earlier seasons. This ep seemed a bit like a throwback in that sense. I think viewers are looking too hard for emotional depth in his romantic relationships, even though he's always been a porn & strippers kind of guy who reserves the…
