Can people evolve in two generations?

So why did Sam clean and dress Dean's corpse end of last season? Where was the turnaround in the scripts for him?

But...I can call when people I know act OOC (and I try to find out why/help) and fiction gives me more insight than knowing someone for a couple years does, since I get interiority and insight into unreliable narration, IF THE WRITERS ARE GOOD.

Are you saying there's no such thing as out of character? Most of the entertainment I consume and enjoy is centred around characterisation. If Dean wakes up in PJs with fluffy clouds on it next to his pregnant wife, that's not a Dean I'm interested in, and I will argue that it's OOC.

So, say, Sam didn't win at Cold Oaks (he didn't) and someone like Jake won instead (he did), how would that work with Lucifer's plan? Are Jake and Sam interchangeable? Is Jake going to battle his sister for the apocalypse? Are they Abel and Cain too? Would he have a Righteous Sibling and then someone has to break in…

But Lucifer's plan doesn't even make sense when combined with Azazel's. No one has ever explained that to me, how the Boy King and the devil's vessel were the same plot—they never bothered to tie the two destines together other than "drink blood".

You disliked seven of the nine complete seasons? Why do you torture yourself?

I have the impression that if no one told us Swan Song was, you know, that we wouldn't think alcoholic PTSD grieving Dean taken in by a woman he idealises but doesn't love, and Sam either trapped in eternal torment or lurking emotionlessly outside the window and Cas blinking out sans goodbye was a fitting end to the…

Isn't Garth off being in a werewolf pack?

That never happens here!

We had two Dobies (well, one Dobie/Lab) and a kitten for a while. The Lab mix would act hostiley towards it, and it would charge it and run through his legs and evade him. And then he'd get distracted. Not the brightest Fido. His mother though, never gave the cat any aggro, and the kitty never paid it any attention.

I have a friend who just posted that she got home from vacation and her cat climbed her standing body and sat on her shoulders. And our dogs didn't come unless they smelt food outside or we called them. Surely it depends not just on species but also on individual predisposition and training/acclimatisation?

I have lived with two dogs and three cats (long long ago) and the cats were needy whiners who kept touching me or trying to get in bed with me, and the dogs had their own lives and we only interacted with them for maybe an hour a day.

Have you never met a dog with preferences? Ours totally played favourites—they liked our live-in cousin most, then the kids, and could not care less about our parents. And it's not like that's the order of attention given. They just loved him the mostest, and he wasn't technically their owner.

Neither of our dogs would ever take the leash—it was the most effective way to get them to sit down, but I have multiple friends who walk their cats.

For me watching live for everything but SPN means starting at 10 or 20 minutes past the hour, depending on the length of the show. I might sit down on the hour, but use the time watching something else recorded.

I think Supernatural's ratings went up with the Friday shift. But they went even higher with the Tuesday shift.

There are lots of people who watched TV regularly who have a low tolerance for ads—sometimes familiarity breeds contempt.

When we boycotted South Africa in the 80s, it kept my conscience clear (not universally applicable here), and THEY ASKED US TO. Of course it negatively affected the black people too. But there was a net positive.
