I love it.
I am growing ...Megatron... evil muppet. I love it.<br /><br />I am growing a bit disappointed with the ... well, um... character idiocy that seems to be going on with our guys of late. It kind of feels like the writers aren't caring like they used to. I hope that things pick up. I look forward to some more good stuff on a television series on which I've invested nine and a half seasons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-35069148335523504622015-01-22T21:01:04.693-05:002015-01-22T21:01:04.693-05:00Re Claire: You may not have been so up on taking ...Re Claire: You may not have been so up on taking help from an angel if he had been responsible for your father's death. <br /><br />And, I love your characterization of Metatron as an evil muppet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03576935823414983221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-19245115564950299312015-01-22T20:40:48.331-05:002015-01-22T20:40:48.331-05:00Billie, I'd like to address Claire and her mot...Billie, I'd like to address Claire and her motivations and why they are spot on. Like Cas, I am an older first-time single parent with a teenage daughter as my first parenting experience. In my case, I fostered a runaway teen girl. All I wanted to do for her was to give her the home and the chance she never had in her previous life. Safe home, check. New clothes, check. Playstation (well, new laptop computer), check. College, check, whenever that happens. <br /><br />It didn't happen. She ran away back to the street after a month. She was happier in her comfort zone of homeless runaway grifter than she was in a warm safe bed with every advantage.<br /><br />It doesn't have to make sense to us, Billie. It makes sense to the teen, and Claire's portrayal was the most honest thing I've seen in the show.<br />puckladynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-70770543097227939332015-01-22T14:14:18.117-05:002015-01-22T14:14:18.117-05:00I really don't care about Claire. She's wh...I really don't care about Claire. She's whiny and she bores me. <br /><br />I also figured that the first thing the boys would think of when it came to removing the MoC was...well...CAIN. It seems obvious.<br /><br />As to Crowley (my favorite character)...I also find this storyline kind of unbelievable, insofar as Crowley believing a word she says. While learning about Crowley's background via their conversations is interesting, I just want to stab Rowena in the face. She's sneaky, manipulative and treacherous, and I can't wait til Crowley ends her (I mean, he's going to get her soul anyway, so if he wants face time with mommy, he can get it after she's dead.) I seriously cannot believe that Crowley would fall for any of what she's saying, or that he wouldn't put two and two together...could he honestly believe that every damn demon in hell is plotting against him, and he just didn't see it until she came along to point it out to him? Crowley has proven himself to be much smarter than that in the past. A touch of humanity wouldn't turn him into an idiot. Plus, he's not one to underestimate his opponents, and I think he definitely sees her as his opponent. <br /><br />I have faith in Crowley. He will prevail.LadySidhenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-36667088584019875662015-01-22T12:21:05.748-05:002015-01-22T12:21:05.748-05:00I like Rowena's accent, but I do agree that th...I like Rowena's accent, but I do agree that the way she speaks and acts is a bit over the top. I'm constantly torn between annoyance and amusement when she's around.<br /><br />I think the biggest problem with her is that she is way too obvious. It seems impossible for anyone to fall for her crap, let alone Crowley, who is supposed to be a smart guy. So either he's playing her (which would be a relief), or he's incredibly stupid (which would be a huge disappointment).<br />Maybe his human feelings and his need for love are blinding him ("I deserve to be loved!"). Ugh. Please, anything but that.<br />It would be so much better if she was more subtle, more ambiguous, and more discreet. Then she would be a plausible match for Crowley, and it would make the whole thing much more interesting.<br /><br />I liked Claire in the previous episode, but I didn't really care about her in this one. <br />And what was the deal with this couple anyway? At first, with all those suspicious smiles, I thought they were like Randy, looking for a lost kid that they could manipulate. Or maybe demons.<br />Then came the axe. <br />So what, they were just two random crazy people looking for an opportunity to axe someone? How does that make any sense?<br />I did love the scene with Claire and Dean, though. Jensen Ackles looks really good with an axe (or without it). <br /><br />As for Metatron, I don't like him. Never have. I actually <i>growled</i> when Castiel brought him back.<br />Why did Castiel have to get him out, anyway? Couldn’t he question him in his cell? Having him out made me nervous. <br /><br />I would have preferred if Cain had been the one to tell Dean that he could control the Mark if he really wanted to. Since he is the only one who knows how it feels, it would have been more appropriate. <br />But maybe it's just because I can't wait to see him again.<br /><br />Congratulations to Guthrie, who joined the team of the cool-demons-that-died-way-too-soon.

Hers just seems so over-the-top that I thought she had to be a non-Kelt doing a caricature.

I certainly hope that they turn Claire around -- the writers should know that troubled, traumatized teenagers are a penny a pound and that fans of the show will get annoyed if she puts her own angst above and beyond common sense. And if Crowley is not playing his mother, I will join in the howls of fans everywhere -- "you're good, but I'm Crowley" needs to count for something more than just a cool line.<br /><br />The next issue: while I love Dean, I'd like to see this issue addressed and turned into something more meaningful than just another "I hate me" issue for Dean. Maybe he can come to grips with the good he's done or something and live with the idea that the world exists in shades of gray -- boring white paladins are also a penny a pound. I do hope that the writers are going to go somewhere good with this, because it deserves intelligent treatment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-28448929606960818052015-01-21T11:36:46.052-05:002015-01-21T11:36:46.052-05:00I can't stand Rowena, her accent is overdone, ...I can't stand Rowena, her accent is overdone, she is overdone.<br />Claire/Cass bore me so much. I really really don't care about it. Claire is so badly acted, it is scary. Her story is boring boring boring. I still don't buy that her very religious mother would abandon her. They really don't know what to do with Cass lately.<br />I stop wanting to watch/ear Metratron after Metafiction.<br />Why oh why Sam and Dean didn't kill him, I am afraid that it is because we will have to support an other of his scene where he likes to hear himself talking.<br />This season I have only one word for Crowley, it's pathetic?

I find their complicated relationship fascinating - I get why she's mad at him, and at the same time, it's pretty clear that he could help her, and she also seems vaguely fond of him on some level (she was his vessel briefly, I'd love it if they brought that up again).<br /><br />Crowley and his mum bore me I'm afraid, but at least they don't take up too much time. And I hope he's playing her too.<br /><br />Every time I see Curtis Armstrong on New Girl I think "Metatron!" and every time I see him on Supernatural I think "the Principal!"<br /><br />Dean's red shirt towards the end reminded me of Spike. But then, lots of things remind me of Spike.<br /><br />I love the Castiel stuff, am reasonably interested in the Winchesters' stuff, and don't like the Crowley stuff.
