Supernatural Season 6

[Cichy]

I'm glad they are going back to what seem right now a simpler story line, the angel story never reached a satisfying conclusion in my opinion and I dont know if they even know what to do with it.

[Talus]

I though the episode was pretty good but...

Spoiler: show

Oh yay! Another young, terrible actress in an important recurring role! But maybe I'm being too quick to judge her. We'll see.

Spoiler: show

Thankfully for us, the Mother will probably hop into another, less attractive, but better-equipped with acting chops, vessel. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt though, because a) she's hot and b) the writing didn't really give her much to do in that scene.

[Uzor]

She only had 1 line, how can you judge her acting ability from that? >.O

[Julian]

Where did you get that?

After watching a few reruns I have a little question I don't remember the answer to, did the angels ever tell Sam specifically not to kill Lillith? Or was it ever stated why it wasn't brought to Sam and Dean's attention that that would be the final seal?

[Eaglestrike]

Two possible answers:

1) They still wanted Lilith and the apocalypse to happen, at least some of them. And who knows which side the person "in charge" was on at the time.

2) Final seal involved the person who breaks it not knowing they break it. So they'd be going against what God planned by telling them. I think I recall this being said at some point.

Both of those were explained in the episodes. A lot of the angels wanted the Apocalypse to happen, if I remember it right. And Cas probably didn't know about the last seal, otherwise he'd prolly have told him.

I think Cas knew all along. I think he bonded with the boys though, and was going to tell them. Near the end of season 4, there was the episode where Cas calls them for something important, but instead they find Cas's vessel Jimmy Novak. By the end of the episode when Cas returns to Novak's body, and they ask what he wanted, he says that he learned his lesson or something like that, and walks away.

Then in the next episode, he lets Sam out of Bobby's little bunker room, so he could go meet up with Ruby and subsequently kill Lilith. He also helps Zachariah keep Dean hostage in the waiting room, until Dean finally convinces him otherwise.

Aaa yea, that makes sense. I knew a lot of the angels wanted the apocalypse, but then Cas was on their side. So it didn't make sense to me why this little bit of knowledge wasn't shared with them.

Good episode. Nice way to introduce a new big bad at least.

Answers all of the 'what now?' questions.

Dean and Bobby had some great moments in this one. The whole sword bit was awesome.

[Selamis]

Excellent episode tonight,

Spoiler: show

the last scene really got me wondering how long it'll be before Sam destroys himself with his memories of Hell.

[Selamis]

So I had a discussion with a friend last night about why Dean can handle his memories of Hell, but it's implied that Sam can't, and I wanted to get your guys opinions as well. I personally said to my friend that perhaps being tortured every day by just demons isn't as scaring on one's soul than being tortured/abused by Lucifer and Michael, the two strongest angels. Dean had said that he was torn apart piece by piece each day while he was in the pit, plus he also tortured people to get off the carving board. Cas said that Sam's soul felt like it was skinned alive when he touched it, after Death replaced it. What do you guys think?

[Lexa]

Was a pretty okay episode, nothing horrifyingly sucky, nothing amazing capslock worthy.

However:

Promo for next week:

Set photos from 6x18:

The promo + the set photos, leads me to believe that

Spoiler: show

the Impala's in trouble?! The Mustang's wearing the same license plates that the Impala was wearing for seasons 1-2.

If they kill Impala, I quit the show.

[Talus]

Spoiler: show

METALLICAR NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! It was bad enough seeing Robo-Sam drive around the black Charger, but at least justifiable since Dean had the Impala under a cover at Lisa's garage.

[Eticket]

I can't see how they'd do anything to the Impala considering how important it was for the Season 5 finale.

The only explanation I can see is what you mentioned above which is Lucifer and Michael being the strongest angels + they dint really have anything else to do but torture Sam. Dean was a VIP in hell too so I imagine he had it very tough also but I guess Dean always been portrayed to be stronger than Sam. Also, maybe the writers just dint think that one through well enough.

[Uzor]

well, Dean wasn't in hell for as long as Sam was either, no? Dean's sould was in there for about half a year if I remember right, while Sam's was in there for a year. Dead wasn't tortured the entire time either - he caved in and tortured in order to avoid being tortured. Dean wasn't tortured by Lucifer and Michael, either, he were tortured by much weaker demons.

[EternityEnd]

Sam was in Hell for half a year, right? (Dean was with whatsherface for a year and a half, and Sam had been alive for one year when they met up again.)

Regardless of time spent, I think the point is that Dean was being tortured by a mere demon, whereas Sam was tortured constantly by the two archangels. Don't forget that Dean wasn't tortured the entire duration of his stay in Hell, either; at some point he agreed to be the torturer.

[Iono]

Sam was in Hell for half a year, right? (Dean was with whatsherface for a year and a half, and Sam had been alive for one year when they met up again.)

Even when Sam's body was out his soul was still stuck in the box. It was "about a year" (Sam's words), until he met up with Dean, and whatever time it took to get the soul out after that.

[FNH]

and time is different in hell they've said. like a day on earth is a year in hell or some shit.
