Supernatural - 8.23 - Sacrifice - Quotes

And season 8 is done. That just leaves our summer hiatus fun - contests, polls, articles, etc. I am not sure how our SpoilerTV Supernatural hiatus is going to start. We will either begin with our typical mini contest to crown the best season 8 episode or we will jump right into the writer polls again. I am just waiting to hear from Andy. Attached to each poll will be nominations for our quotes contest. We need to finish season 6 and do all of season 7 still. Today finishes season 8. All season 8 nominations that have not already closed, except for the last two, will close early this week to give me time to collate all the quotes. Clip Show and Sacrifice will close next week to give people plenty of time to nominate. I will not be doing daily polls until next week as I will be in meetings this week, but I will try to have at least one thing up by Thursday at the latest. Until then, happy nominating.

I'm willing to let this b** and all the SoB's that killed mom walk because of you. Don't you dare think that there is anything past or present that I would put in front of you.

Grimm - Bree Turner Interview

Grimm's season finale is this Tuesday on NBC 
at 10/9 Central time.

Bree Turner, who plays Rosalee on Grimm, is very thankful for the role and for the "committed, supportive, and protective" fans that have blown her away like nothing else in her career. Calling it a "lightning in a bottle" experience, she shared a few spoilers, her favorite things, what she would like to see in season 3, and in her own words, what it is like to "be on a show I sincerely love with people I sincerely care about."

Spoiler Warning: If you have read previous spoilers, you already know that the season finale of Grimm ends on a cliffhanger with a main character no longer 100% alive. While Turner could not reveal the person, she did reiterate in previous interviews that the zombies were targeting Nick. She added that it was "very scary" to be the person who was no longer living and she doesn't know exactly how the writers are going to resolve the cliffhanger. She also stated that fans of the Rosalee and Monroe relationship would be very happy with the payoff in the finale, which she called, "well worth the wait." Previously, Silas Weir Mitchell, who plays Monroe, hinted that the two would finally have sex. However in a somewhat new spoiler, Turner said that Rosalee "becomes more of an authority in the issue at hand." Instead of bumbling through with a lack of confidence like in her character's beginning, Rosalee is now "one of the most powerful apothecaries" in the Wesen world, which gets her in trouble in the finale. There are a lot of people counting on her and she feels pressured to find answers.  Rosalee is also more physically involved in the finale, which was a lot of fun for Turner. Rosalee knows a little bit about everything which boosts her confidence and gives her more of a sure standing in the group.  (End of spoilers)

In fact, Rosalee's steady growth into a confident, powerful, and talented part of the Grimm Scooby gang is what most surprised and delighted Turner. She feels Rosalee started as the most talented Wesen in her family with the biggest gift but she also felt the most lost and insecure. "Her talent scared her." By joining forces with Nick and Monroe, she has grown into an authority on healing. She also has enjoyed the layers of Rosalee fans have slowly been seeing, especially that her father and brother were leaders on the Wesen Council. She likens it to being Colin Powell's daughter. She is "a major authority in the Wesen world" even if she doesn't take advantage of it. Turner hopes the writers explore the Council and Rosalee's connection to it more in season 3 but she hasn't gotten season 3 plot information yet.

Another aspect Turner enjoys is the relationship between Rosalee and Monroe. She feels it embraces Rosalee's lightness and compassion. When Rosalee first arrived in Portland, she was recovering from addiction and closed off to everyone. She was in a dark place. Turner played the character as damaged and purposely made her standoffish to Nick and Monroe as Rosalee slowly warmed up to the foreign concept of working with a Grimm and getting back into the Wesen world she forsook. Season 2 was more about becoming an established member of the group and allowing herself to be vulnerable again. The relationship with Monroe has allowed her to put her skeletons and demons in the past and be a lighter character. One such lighter fare were the 3 short webisodes NBC released over the winter hiatus starring Rosalee and Monroe. Turner really enjoyed making these frothy shorts but has not been approached about doing any for the summer hiatus. (Fans should start bombarding NBC with petitions for more webisodes now or else it will be a long hiatus this summer.)

Turner credits her friendship with Mitchell for helping the Rosalee and Monroe relationship to become a big hit with fans. She feels so relaxed and comfortable with Mitchell that their scenes feel organic and she believes that comes through to the audience. When they got the finale script and read what was in store for Monroe and Rosalee, they started a giggle fit because they are such great friends. In fact, the romance scenes are her favorite because they are so fun and sweet. She really enjoys working with Mitchell, whom she says is also the leading language authority on Grimm. Whenever they have to say "German Grimm-ish words," she goes to him for pronunciation. The general rule on set is to "say it the way Silas says it." However she warns fans of Rosalee and Monroe to be on guard because nothing stays happy on Grimm for long. Their relationship is moving as "such a beautiful journey" that she feels complications are coming soon. While she doesn't know the writers' plans, Turner hopes that the complications come from her past. She'd like to revisit the drug addiction and Rosalee's past relationships.

Turner is also delighted that Juliette now knows about the Wesen and seems to be embracing Nick's role. She says it was "a breath of fresh air for everyone" when Juliette got her memory back. Turner feels Rosalee will be instrumental in Juliette's new world because she has felt responsible for Juliette's unraveling ever since she gave her the potion, spending time to get everyone on board with helping Juliette cope with the aftermath and learning about the Wesen world. Turner loved Juliette's reaction to seeing them woge the first time and thinks it will be a great friendship to explore. Personally she is also excited to have another female in the group to help balance it.

Originally, Turner had no plans to become an actress. She moved to LA when she was 18 to attend UCLA and started as a pro dancer in movies such as Austin Powers. Through that, she "fell in love with the whole process" of movie and TV production. She credits her previous struggles in the industry for making this point of her life so sweet. When she got the role, she didn't know anything about Grimm and since she had to be on set within 48 hours, she played the role mostly on instinct. The creators and writers knew who Rosalee was in-depth right from the start, which it made things easier. Although she initially thought Rosalee would have more of an attitude on the show, she says that focusing of the lightness of the character was the right choice. One unexpected twist was when Turner got pregnant with her second child. This season has been a "really wild year" both professionally and personally for her. She states that it "is so funny to think that he was in my belly during all those crazy episodes." Her son is definitely a part of the show to her.

When Turner first got the job, she had little experience in the sci-fi genre except for doing a small horror movie. She says sci-fi is different because you "really have to commit to the world you're imagining." Since there is so much CGI on Grimm, what fans see on screen is rarely what the actors see. Her hardest time is having serious scenes when people are wearing little white dots all over their faces. Her favorite Wesen so far was the Mauvais Dentes (saber-toothed tiger Weesen) of the season 2 premiere. She thought that the special effects, make up and CGI for this Wesen was one of the best in the show. As a child she was fond of Clash of the Titans and she still prefers the "animatronic quality of the original" to the recent movie. However, she wasn't really into the sci fi scene. Now since being on Grimm, she is more excited about sci fi than she's ever been. She understands the obsession people have with it and considers herself a "card carrying member" of the sci fi fandom. She specifically mentioned Warehouse 13 and Doctor Who for getting sci fi on her radar again.

Don't forget to tune into the Grimm season 2 finale on Thursday at 10/9 C on NBC. Turner describes it as "feature film quality" in effects and the story. She states that every storyline gets "blown up, exposed, and challenged." So much so that she doesn't know what else they could have put in. Plus she gets to fight zombies now that she's not pregnant and who doesn't want to see Rosalee kick some zombie butt. It sounds like the season finale is a not-to-be-missed episode. Tune in Tuesday at 10/9 C on NBC and don't forget to stop by SpoilerTV afterwards to share your thoughts.

Supernatural - 8.22 - Clip Show - Quotes

Ah, it was so good to see clips of the previous seasons. Provenance is still one of my favorite standalone episodes and "Hearts in my cupcakes," will never stop be funny. It was good to be reminded of the Supernatural I knew and loved. If only it could have been a true clip show and not ventured into stupid brother territory again. Thanks so much Dabb! Today we start season 6 quote nominations. Season 5 nominations are now closed. I will also be closing the first half of the season 8 nominations in the next couple of days in order to start processing those nominations too. I will have a better idea of the contest timetable once I see how many quotes are going to be in the competition. I am hoping for 64 but it might be 128 like the ultimate episode contest last summer. It will depend on where the natural breaks in nominations lie. Regardless, we will go back to daily quote nominations for seasons 6 and 7 by a week after season 8 concludes.


Funny/Snarky quotes:

8. Sam: "So you really think this will work?" Dean: "Dude we've got needles, we've got thread, we've seen Young Frankenstein about a thousand times…yeah, we're golden."
7. Dean: "How do you even know…" Crowley: "I have my sources. A cracking research team…"
6. Cas: "You don't understand. I need pie."
5. Metatron: "Put the virgin down Castiel. We need to talk."
4. Dean: "Oh yeah, 'cause that was the most freaky thing - was the vocabulary. What about the uh…the bloody high 5 or the…the chest burst…"
3. Sarah: "I do miss the old haircut though."
2. Dean: "Well that was weird…with 3 exclamation points."
1. Dean: "Son of a b**." Crowley: "Son of a witch actually. My mommy taught me a few tricks."


Story-moving quotes:

12. Crowley: "So from here on I'm going to keep everything hell related…demons, etc…anyway from you lads. Safe side and all that. Plus I just thought it seemed fitting. From what I understand, Sammy took that bird's breath away."
11. Dean: "Not even close. You see the uh…the Men of Letters kept files on every demonic possession for the last 300 years. I mean we've got uh…Borden, Lizzie all the way to Crane, Ichabod."
10. Cas: "So you know the trials to close heaven." Metatron: "I wrote them down. It's not something you forget."
9. Crowley: "You want to keep those people alive. I want complete and utter surrender. The tablet, the trials…you'll give them up or we'll keep doing this dance. Your choice, my darlings."
8. Sam: "Dean everything in those folders - the possessions, the deals…all of it, we've seen them before but that…that was all new. Yeah it's worth the drive."
7. Dean: "Alright, let's roll. Not you." Cas: "Sam is more damaged than I am." Dean: "Yeah well you know, even banged up Sammy comes through." Cas: "Dean I just want to help." Dean: "We don't need your help. Just stay here and…and get better."
6. Crowley: "I'm gonna gut one person every 12 hours until you bring me the demon tablet and stop this whole trials nonsense." Sam: "We don't have the tablet. Kevin took it and…" Crowley: "I took Kevin. Then someone took him back. Word from the cloud is it wasn't heaven so either the cutest little prophet in the world is with you two lugs or you better find him tout bloody suite because time, she is a wasting."
5. Sam: "Look I know this is…insane but insane is kind of what we do. We'll keep you safe." Sarah: "Okay." Dean: "Okay? That's it?" Sarah: "You've done it before."
4. Sam: "Is that a devil's trap?" Dean: "It takes up half the room. These chains…there's spell work etched into them." Sam: "So we have a dungeon." Dean: "Finally."
3. Crowley: "They're your life's work and I'm going to rip it apart. Piece by piece. Because I can. Because you can't stop me. Because when they're all gone, what will you have left?"
2. Sam: "What are you doing Crowley?" Crowley: "Oh Moosey, isn't it obvious. I'm killing everyone you've ever saved. The damsels in distress. The innocent whippersnappers. The would be vampire chow. All of them."
1. Metatron: "Exactly, which is why we've got to shut down heaven."


Emotional quotes:

6. Sarah: "No you're not. You're not the same. Look it's been years and I can't even imagine the things you've been through but I don't know. You seem more focused, confident. Like…like you know what you want. You grew up Sam."
5. Cas: "Dean, I'm sorry." Dean: "For what?" Cas: "For everything." Dean: "Everything? Like uh…like ignoring us." Cas: "Yes." Dean: "Or like bolting off with the angel tablet, then losing it because you didn't trust me. You didn't trust me." Cas: "Yes." Dean: "Yeah, nah that's not going to cut it. Not this time. So you can take your little apology and you can cram it up your a**." Cas: "Dean I thought I was doing the right thing." Dean: "Yeah, you always do."
4. Crowley: "Well I think the people you save, they're how you justify your pathetic little lives. The alcoholism, the collateral damage, the pain you've caused. The one thing that allows you to sleep at night, the one thing is knowing that these folks are out there, still out there. Happy and healthy because of you, you great big bloody heroes."
3. Dean: "Well short story is uh…Sammy there's going to take whatever shredded your friend and every other black eyed b** out there and he's going to get rid of them…for good." Priest: "He is? In his condition?" Dean: "Father over the past couple of months I've seen him do cr** that I didn't even think was possible. I mean sure he's miserable and he's hurting, but you know what? There's not a doubt in my mind that he's going to cross that finish line. Not one. So will you help us?"
2. Dean: "Dude if anybody else…I mean anybody, pulled that kind of cr**, I would stab them in their neck on principle. Why should I give him a free pass?"
1. Sam: "You heard Crowley. He's not going to let one near us and without a demon all we can do is sit back and watch people we know…people we saved, die. Like Sarah." Dean: "So what're you saying?" Sam: "I'm saying…maybe this isn't one we can win. Maybe we should just take the deal." Dean: "We'll figure this out. We will and we'll get it done. We'll kick it in the a** like we always do. Are you with me?"


Quote Awards:

The "Now That's a Catchphrase" Award: Sorry Charlie, but yours plain sucks. These are much better.

Abaddon: "Morning sunshines."
Crowley: "Hello boys."




The "Would Have Been Nice if Jeremy Carver Would Have Remembered This Earlier" Award:

Supernatural - 8.21 - The Great Escapist - Quotes

Changing the format around a little for this one, mostly because I don't want to watch the episode again and I have less time because of work right now. I've put story moving and emotional quotes together and put in my least favorite lines as a category instead of Quote Awards. Feel free to give your opinion about this new format below. I can go back to the original format for my last two episodes if people prefer it. Just let me know. Also attached are the last nomination forms for season 5. All of season 5 nominations close shortly. We will proceed to season 6 next time and finish nominations during the hiatus. The nominations will most likely be attached to the first set of polls we do similar to how we did it last summer when nominations began. Once all nominations have been tallied, we may have a run-off for the last quotes to make it into the contest but it should begin sometime in June.


Funny/Snarky quotes:


8. Crowley: "Naomi, darling…miss me?"
7. Crowley: "How'd you figure it out?" Kevin: "Ah it started when they forgot the secret knock. Really it…it was the way they acted. I don't think on their best day Sam and Dean would go into own and get me a BBQ dinner. Not…not when there are leftover burritos in the fridge." Crowley: "So…my demons were too polite." Kevin: "Yeah."
6. Dean: "Come on man, it's me. Now it's wet me." Kevin; "You forgot the secret knock. What's the point of a secret knock if you don't use it."
5. Crowley: "Those guys aren't half bad." Brown Noser Demon (BND): "No sir. You chose well." Crowley: "Of course if I wasn't running everything, I could have played Dean myself."
4. Server: "I swear to God Lance, the guy just disappeared." Lance: "You on that crack again Perry?"
3. Dean: "They taught word of God at Stanford?"
2. Crowley: "This is the king."
1. Crowley: "I was born to direct."



Story-Moving/Emotional quotes:


8. Dean: "So you…get a ruffle in your feathers and just decide to disappear. Go stick your head in the sand forever? You've got no idea what's been going on out there." Metatron: "Nope, that's the whole point."
7. Dean: "We thought we lost you kiddo." Kevin: "I'm good. Second half of the tablet and I got it. 3rd trial. I didn't tell Crowley."
6. Crowley: "You, Fake Sam. If you're going to tip our hand, I'll have to scrub Kevin's short term memory again and that's risky so watch the patois in there." FakeSam: "Patois?" Crowley: "Your slang. "Special K, nose to the Godstone." That's the way Dean speaks. Sam is…more basic, more sincere. Remember I want 2 distinct, authentic characterizations." Fake Sam: "Yes sir."
5. Crowley: "Hi C as. That's right Cas. I've got me an angel on the payroll. It's that kind of universe these days."
4. Crowley: "You think I can't make you tell?" Kevin: "I know you can't. And you do too." Crowley: "You know what? I've already won. I have the angel tablet, you little smudge and I've got deals and plans up the jacksie. I don't need you."
3. Kevin: "There's only one reason I wouldn't. Which means if you're watching this then I…then I'm…I'm dead. I'm dead you b***. So screw you, screw God, and everybody in between."
2. Kevin: "You know the Winchesters are up to the third trial. That they're going to shut the door on hell." Crowley: "I'm not worried kid." Kevin: "You have no idea what's on this demon tablet. Think of the power you could have gotten with this if you weren't running around like a chicken with its head cut off."
1. Crowley: "You like it? I had my R & D people melt down one of your angel blades. Cast it into bullets. Seems to do the trick." Naomi: "How dare you?" Crowley: "I'm the daringest devil you ever met luv."

9. Metatron: "I'm the scribe of God. I erased it." - Why not throw paint on it like earlier? Argh!
8. Cas: "How…how many times have you torn into my head and washed it clean." Naomi: "Frankly, too damn many. You're the famous spanner in the works. Honestly I think you came off the line with a crack in your chassis. You have never done what you were told, not completely. You don't even die right do you?" - There goes canon.
7. Naomi: "I'm just going to have to pull you apart aren't I?" - Did Amanda tick off Ben? Terrible lines!
6. Sam: "We're heading somewhere….the end." - Yeah right Sam. You've got at least 2 more seasons.

Let's face it. This Arrow episode was filled with memorable scenes. Since I have no idea what people will vote for and I'm too lazy to narrow choices down today, I'm breaking my rule of not having too many choices. So…here is almost everything that happened in The Undertaking. You still only get one vote though; happy voting!

Supernatural - 8.20 - Pac Man Fever - Quotes

Supernatural is back from hiatus so that means we are back to highlighting the best quotes. This episode had a lot of quotables and to my surprise, many of my favorite lines came from the more emotional side. Generally I am all about the snarky lines and there were plenty of those too. I ended up liking this episode more than almost every episode so far this season because it had heart, laughs, and most importantly the Winchesters finally got a win. Woo hoo! Don't forget to hit the comments to share your favorites. We also have the next nomination forms up for season 5. We will finish season 5 next week and all nominations for season 5 will close in 2 weeks. Below is an overall nomination form for all of season 5 if you missed an episode. The contest will start as soon as we have nominations in for all episodes and I can organize the thousands of nominations we have received. Between the hiatus and when the contest starts, we will be doing writer polls and probably some character quote articles. Also don't forget to do your Supernatural rankings as we should start those articles sometime after the quotes contest ends.

Season 5 nominations

Words to Live By:

Charlie: "If it's any consolation, having read your history, there is pretty much nothing the Winchesters can't
do if they work together."

-If only the writers and Jeremy Carver took their own advice. How awesome would these trials be if both brothers were able to participate in them? How much grief could have been spared if they had just said Sam looked for Dean but was stymied at every turn? How much more fun would the season be if the Winchesters got to be the heroes of their own story instead of being pretty wallpaper while the 3rd extra from the left got the win? Oh what season 8 could have been. What a letdown it has been!


Funny/Snarky quotes:

 12. Charlie: "I'm a wee bit obsessive…if a wee bit means completely."
11. Charlie: "I will pick us up some grub and unlike you Sam, I will not forget the pie."
10. Charlie: "So about that childhood trauma you experienced earlier…"
9. Charlie: "I hate that thing but I want one."
8. Dean: "You want to tell me what happened back their Boo Radley?" Charlie: "I'm sorry. I froze. I couldn't Control-Alt-Delete my way out. Real life role playing is hard."
7. Charlie: "Is he leaving? He's leaving." Sam: "That's alright. I stole your car. I think I know where he's going. Come on." Charlie: "Cool. Wait….you stole my car?"
6. Dean: "Come on man. Don't quote me to me."
5. Dean: "Okay, alright I'm going to need to go to sleep fast so uh, punch me. Look man I know you don't want to okay…" (Sam punches Dean but not out.) Sam: "Ohw, ow." Dean: "Well you're a little off your game there cause that was…that was pretty…" (Sam punches Dean again, this time out.)
4. Charlie: "That's my boys. I love you." Dean: "I know."
3. Charlie: "So the boys say they saw something on his arm before it covered them in years of future therapy. Said it looked like a blue handprint."
2. Dean: "That's why we don't have nice things Sam."
1. Dean: "Man I'm telling you, give me 5 minutes with some clippers and…" Sam: "Ah shut up."


Story-moving quotes:

10. Charlie: "This isn't my happy place. This is a recurring nightmare of mine."
9. Dean: "She seem a little off to you?" Sam: "Since the second she got here."
8. Charlie: "Maybe you should go first this time?" Dean: "Uh huh, back on the horse kiddo."
7. Dean: "One way to find out." Sam: "What are you doing?" Dean: "When I called you from her phone, I turned on her GPS."
6. Dean: "This poison, it's designed to put your mind into an endless cycle while your insides turn to mush okay….and its fuel is fear. Now call me crazy but I think the only way to break this cycle is to let go of the fear and stop playing the game." Charlie: "You don't know that."
5. Sam: "It's from Charlie. 'In the neighborhood. Found you guys a case.' Found us a case?" Dean: "In the neighborhood? How the hell she know where we are?"
4. Charlie: 'You know you're going to be okay right? Those books portray you as like…one tough customer. If anyone can get through the trials Sam, it's you." Sam: "Thanks. You know you really should come back and dig through our archives. You are definitely a woman of letters." Charlie: "I like the sound of that."
3. Dean: "Djinn usually send you to your uh….your happy place. Now no judgment but you've got a really strange sense of happy kiddo."
2. Sam: "Huh this place must be in some kind of like Bermuda Triangle." Dean: "Wait. Are you saying we can make and receive phone calls from here and nobody can track us? Man I love this place."
1. Sam: "Okay look you were right. I…I should have laid low. I…I know I should have hung back. I'm glad I was able…." (Dean hugs Sam.) Dean: "What do you say we find our prophet?"


Emotional quotes:

6. Dean: "Sam?" Charlie: "Is this my nightmare or yours?"
5. Charlie: "Must be nice having a brother, having someone to always watch your back."
4. Dean: "You've got one hell of a daughter Mrs. Middleton. I promise you I will find her."
3. Charlie: "Going to go back to the hospital. Gotta let go right. What about you? You going to let it go?" Dean: "Never." Charlie: "That's my boys."
2. Dean: "I know that your fear is creating all of this but you're not afraid of those super solider vamps out there. You're not afraid of this game and you're not afraid of what it did to you. Hey, look at me. You're afraid of losing her. Charlie she's already gone."
1. Charlie: "I just want to tell her that I'm sorry and I love her and just have her hear it again. I just need her to hear that one more time but she can't. She…she can't." Dean: "I know. Believe me I know but you've got to let it go. Game over kiddo."


Quote Awards:

The "Words That Should be Banned from Winchester Lexicon" Award - "I'm fine."

Dean: "You okay?" Sam: "Yeah, yeah I'm fine."
Sam: "I'm fine. Dean I can still go out there. I can still hunt." Dean and me: "Really?"

-Anytime the Winchesters say they are fine, you know something bad is happening. It's their favorite lie - dad and sons. Unfortunately it's been their go-to lie since season 1. Time to retire it. If they really wanted to make the Winchesters mature, they would never utter this phrase again.


The "No Kidding Sister" Award -

Charlie: "That never happened in the books."

-You tell them Charlie. For the majority of 6 years the Winchesters have been both smart and capable. Now they can't do anything right. Secondary characters have to save the day. They need to be spoon-fed answers. Perhaps because they forgot the canon that presumably is in those dreaded books.


The "Are You Kidding? Sam would Never Say That" Award -

Sam: "Anyway that's our skinny."

-I did a second take when I heard this the first time. While this may or may not have been okay dialogue in Bitten, there is no way Sam would ever say this. I think someone's teenage years are showing and they are not Sam's .


The "Signature Line that Just Needs to Go Away" Award -

Charlie: "What's up b**?"

-Most recurring characters on Supernatural have a catch phrase. Charlie needs to change hers.


The "Worst Filler of All Fillers Summed Up in One Word" Award -

Charlie: "Montage."

-Dean watches some lady clothes shop. Really? Really? And this makes it to scene? Who the heck is editing these episodes? Talk about the biggest filler of all filler. Did Robbie Thompson not have enough material to make a 42 minute episode? Pointless, stupid, and a waste of my time. For the first time in my entire life, I turned off a Supernatural episode. I rewatched Arrow instead. Apparently the Winchesters are no longer interesting enough to watch for 42 minutes. We have to have a Charlie montage complete with her theme song instead. Bah!


The "Nooooo! We Promised to Never Mention that Travesty Again" Award -

Charlie: "I also found these series of books by Carver Edlund. Did those books really happen? Wow! That is some meta madness."

-Okay Jeremy, if you are going to completely screw over canon then it ought to work both ways. You are banned from bringing up the drek if you murder the good stuff.

Supernatural - Late Night Rant - Drinking Your Way Through the Last 3 Episodes (or How to Awaken in a Hospital Room 3 Days Later with Liver Failure)

The sneak peak thread on SpoilerTV turned into one hot mess this week, to quote Lilith, but I saw it mostly as a release for frustrated Supernatural fans. Let's just agree that this season of SPN has been divisive at a minimum. For me, shocking waste of time is more accurate. Out of the thread came the idea of drinking our misery away with a drinking game. Now usually Lilith is the drinking gamer of the partnership since I haven't had alcohol in over a decade. This time I needed to jump in because my frustration is at an all-time high so if you can't change anything, you might as well get blotto and forget it ever occurred. Well not really but you know my sentiment. Below is my all-out, written in the wee hours of the morning when I should have been asleep, rant. It sums up my ire. It is majorly complaint-filled. It's probably not an interesting read but it flowed so quickly out of my bile that I needed to post it to purge it. Feel free to ignore, especially if you are happy with season 8. And if you are, then I am jealous and I hope Supernatural lives on for several more seasons so you can continue to enjoy it.

Speaking of ire, Google has decided to forget its secret plans to rule the world and officially announce their dictatorship so I can no longer get Disqus comment boxes on my posts. This will assuredly inspire another middle of the night rant but I am too tired to do it now. Plus I have to babysit in 4 hours. Therefore if you would like to vent your own frustrations or create your own rant against my negativity I can be reached on Twitter @dahne1 or by e-mail at dahne@spoilertv.com. If there is a lot of response I will probably compile the feedback and write a follow-up article. Until then, may you approach the final 3 episodes of season 8 in whichever manner gets you through.

RANT/RANT/RANT/RANT/RANT

I am taking this entire thread as a fun, snarky salute to frustrated Supernatural fans. Therefore I do NOT drink to brother wars but I most definitely drink to the utter suckage that Jeremy Carver has made out of this season. I drink to the wildly out of character Sam who didn't look for Dean because Jeremy said so. In my head canon, Sam has turned into a Naomi controlled robot and spouts utter nonsense that inside he is raging against....as am I. I also drink to Sam becoming Sam again because this Sam is not as much fun as RoboSam was and I miss RealSammy from earlier seasons. I need Real Sam back. Now!

I drink to the wrecking ball that decimated canon so much that I no longer recognize the show. What exactly is this story about these days? Who are the heroes? Only copious amounts of alcohol can make this mess coherent. Flo the continuity fairy has now relocated to Argentina and is looking for an angel to memory wipe her former association with SPN. I am assured that before undergoing the process, she will let me know where I can get the procedure done too. I also drink to making up canon on the spot and then declaring it was there all the time. Bonus points for having every character who has ever been in the show remind us ad naseum that this is indeed canon as if saying it over and over again will somehow make it true and make us forget 7 years of Supernatural that came before this fiasco.

I drink to the ever increasing boredom I get from watching these standalone episodes. I used to look forward to them because some of my favorite episodes were standalones. Now I barely remember them 2 days after watching and considering I have to rewatch them to do the podcast, etc. That is sad. Of course some like Portia the dog lady do stick out but only because the world's supply of brain bleach has dwindled to where I can no longer afford to down it.

I drink to the pacing issues which have seen this season even worse than previous ones. Let's face it. Supernatural was never good at pacing out mytharc even in the Kripke years. Still for ALL the flack Sera got, Jeremy Carver is no better. In fact, for me he's worse but that may just be because Sera's standalones were a whole lot better.

I drink to Jeremy Carver and the writers purposely antagonizing the fandom. No, it isn't an accident anymore. I drink to him purposely baiting fans. I drink to him saying that he doesn't care what we think. I drink to him not being able to admit he made a mistake and then fixing it. I drink to his self-created dictionary that changed the word "mature" into something unrecognizable in the English language. Mostly though, I drink to him going back to his Becoming Human job or getting another one.

I drink to the writers who apparently have not seen any episode they didn't write...if they even saw those. I drink to the rollercoaster of inconsistency in the characters. I drink to the never ending brother rift that was ABSOLUTELY pointless. I drink to the transparent plots in most episodes. I drink to utter filler material in others. I know, I will drink to the tune of Walking on Sunshine to get in the mood. Perhaps I'll even recap what I was drinking 3 seconds after drinking it. That will be fun. More importantly, I drink to their wallets because surely they got paid extra for bringing back their pet characters or at least mentioning them EVERY SINGLE time they got paid to write an episode.

I drink to the secondary characters. After all, they are the only people to have interesting story lines this year. Let's drink to 3 college/high school kids and the great siesta Jensen and Jared got. They needed their rest anyway. I drink to high schoolers who are better at hunting than Dean and Sam and can hit high pitched squeals of indignation to boot. Talent like that shouldn't be wasted. Let's drink to the Bobby replacement who only got more annoying as each episode continued and then was mentioned in almost every episode after hiatus. Let's drink to all the secondary characters who saved the day. I think the brothers got the unqualified win maybe 3-5 times this entire season so they had to do a lot of heavy lifting. Why pretend the show is about two hero brothers fighting the good fight when we can make some random character we will hopefully never see again do the job? And hey, since the idea is to be comatose before the episode ends, I drink to the dog lady. I didn't think Lucky the dog boy could get worse. Season 8....taking things to whole new lows. At least they succeeded in something.

I drink to Taxi Driver. It is the epitome of everything that is wrong with season 8. I drink to clueless writers, bad throw in the kitchen sink pacing, unlikeable characters, and the shattering of everything that happened in the first 7 seasons of Supernatural. I know the exact moment in season 1, episode 3 that I fell in love with Supernatural, when it became my obsession. I drink to the fact that I know the exact moment when my love for Supernatural was strangled to death. Season 8, episode 19. Thanks a lot Jeremy and writers. I never thought it could happen.

And finally, I drink to me. I drink to the copious hours a week I have devoted to Supernatural. I drink to the voting, the poll making, the blogging, the recapping, the podcasting, and of course the promoting. I drink to all the money I have spent on Supernatural. All the time and energy. I drink to the utter lack of satisfaction I have gotten out of it this year and the feeling that hundreds of hours this season were wasted in the hopes that things will be better. I drink to my frustration, my grief, my disdain, and my anger at the powers that be. I drink to all the things that have been thrown at my TV screen this season. I drink to my status as a now fallen cheerleader and the memories this season has poisoned.

I drink to forget that this season ever happened. I drink to the hope that my joy and love of Supernatural can be regained through time and selective memory. I drink to a huge part of my life being salted and burned. It's an Irish wake to the once great Supernatural and my love for it. Time to party through the pain!

END OF RANT

We now join our regularly scheduled life in progress.  Have a great day!
