Last night's episode, entitled "Criss Angel is a Douche Bag" (seriously) was awesome (other notable titles this season included "Are You There God? It's Me, Dean Winchester", "It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer" which was one of the best eps of the series).
The entire season has been terrific. No bullshit, the show is delivering week after week after week, it's really hitting for me like the X-Files did during it's mid-run peak. It's not like anything else on television, much less anything on the CW. It delivers drama, it delivers emotion, it delivers horror, it delivers subtle comedy. I'm not sure it isn't one of the 2 or 3 best shows on all of television right now. Seriously. It's that good. Give it a look sometime if you haven't already. [Reply]

In an interview with TV Guide Magazine, Jim Beaver - aka Bobby Singer - talked about his death a few episodes ago, after taking a bullet to the head from the season's big bad. From the way he's talking, and the way the cast and crew said their heartfelt goodbyes, it seems Bobby might be gone for good:
"It was the next to last day because Jared [Padalecki] and Jensen [Ackles] were not going to be on the set on the last day. They show called a safety meeting, which they do once or twice a season. The entire cast and crew from the top down to the drivers and production assistants are there. I knew something was up when Jared and Jensen were there -- they're never already there before me. Instead of playing this safety video, they played a video tribute to everything I'd done on the show. I was pretty verklempt. It was very touching. I said, 'I know now what they're going to play at my funeral.' It was a lovely moment. Coming to the end of the show, knowing I'd be saying goodbye to these cast and crew I love like family plus the pretty emotional stuff we were shooting that day. I might have gotten something in my eye."
When asked his thoughts on how Bobby's story wrapped up, Beaver said he was pleased with the evolution of his character from an early guest star to semi-regular. Plus, he went out in almost the exact fashion as his character Whitney Ellsworth on HBO's Deadwood:
"They told me what they had planned but they also told me the send off episode was going to be pretty amazing for me. In fact, one of the execs said, 'If you weren't on The CW, you'd win an Emmy.' It was a little bit of déjà vu because I had something extremely similar happen on Deadwood, where an executive producer pulled me aside and said, "We're going to shoot you in the head." ... I have exactly the same response to this as I had to Deadwood: I don't like it, but dramatically it's absolutely the right thing to do. In both shows, my character's demise was a catalyst for real dramatic shifts in the show."
Though he may not pop back up on Supernatural anytime soon, Beaver will be back on the small screen this season on the FX series Justified. He has reportedly signed on for a multi-episode stint in the cop show's current third season.

Almost everyone believes he was a police officer because that's what their great teacher, television, has taught them.
My point has nothing to do with being a fanboy. I can understand bitching about the portrayal of ness in something like the TV and film versions of The Untouchables. Whereas complaining about historical innacuracy with a genre show just makes you look like a douche. Which would I guess be historically accurate. Either way, it doesn't really have a place in this thread. [Reply]

This week's episode was actually pretty darn good.
Spoiler!
Dean's baby's momma was pretty sexy. Sucks to see your spawn die like that though. I suppose it was bound to happen. Oh well. I think the boys should rethink their views on monsters. If they are genuine, let them go, if they kill again, exterminate. If Cass was still there, they could send him to take em out with a SNAP!

That's messed up though. I already see vampire diaries and a whole bunch of new shows on netflix when this show has been out for years and they're just putting S1 up. That's bullsh*t. [Reply]

It was a simple comment and your panties are all bunched. That's a fanboy reaction. Calm down. [Reply]

I thought it made for some good symmetry with what Dean did to Jewel Staite's character. Although I don't think he was going to pull the trigger, and Sam saved his life. His daughter was totally playing him. [Reply]

Completely agree. No man could kill his own daughter. What do you think Dean is thinking. Is he going to start trying to settle down now? I mean I feel like they keep hinting him down that path or something. Can't explain it. [Reply]
