The poll so far: The front half of season 15

[caranfindel]

Well, friends, it's a new year. Is getting back to the episode polls one of my resolutions? Perhaps. Is it doomed to fail? Likely. But how about a poll on the front half of season 15?


[Poll #2098024]

I always adore your polls!

> Dean's well-established canonical inability to sing

This isn't well-established canon, merely well established fandom myth. Fandom is apparently unable to judge whether a person is on pitch when there's no backing track. #whatswrongwiththis?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZOEfYvA7Fw

> How do we feel about Cas and Dean's wee tiff?

I'm mortally afraid it's setting up future Destiel fan service : /

I've missed your episode polls! I found the first three episodes disappointing, but once it moved on from the dreary little town things improved. I think the saddest loss was Benny, as he wasn't back for more than a few minutes and only in a vision, not with Dean. But perhaps they'll reunite in purgatory!

I've generally liked this season. The second episode was a bit slow, but I've been happy all in all, maybe I'm just easy.

I don't think Sam and Eileen have consummated the relationship, at least not since she's been back. All of his reactions say to me that he's not thinking about having sex with her. I'm 50/50 as to whether they actually will "do the deed" . I can see Sam not wanting that kind of connection. I can see the show wanting to kill Eileen off and giving her a Sam as a sendoff present. I can also see the idea that the writers are going to go with Jared's stated favorite ending and kill off Sam and Dean at the end and Eileen will be pregnant with someone to carry on the Winchester/Campbell line. They could also be planning on giving Sam a happy ending and have this be the start of giving him a life to settle into.

I don't know about Jess coming back. They have name checked her, so I'm guessing they would LIKE to have her back, but I don't know what Adrianne Palecki's schedule looks like and where The Orville is in their filming schedule. Bringing her back would be a nice callback, but I suspect some of that is based on things out of the writers' control.

I always thought that if Chuck was God then God was, if not a direct villain, then he was an antagonist. Much of the goodwill I had toward Chuck was as a poor shmuck getting stuck with visions and a need to write them down. In that case he was a brave soul doing the best he could to help stop the Apocalypse. As God, he could have stopped it at any time. He also didn't have to leave Sam and Adam in the Cage once the story was over, but he was willing for Sam to be tortured for all eternity, so yeah, basic antagonist. I had no problem with a God who was the "prime mover", who got the world going said "have at it" and then let us do what we wanted. But to come back, become actively involved and still do nothing is a villain move. As a series ender, God is not a bad choice for final villain.

Your polls are always the best of the best!!

I keep getting tripped up by the lack of continuity. The whole "you've been to hell so you can't go to heaven" is such BULLSHIT. John came out of hell and went to heaven! It's such an arbitrary rule, made up to ratchet up the stakes. I like Sam and Eileen but I worry they're going to stick to the fuck-Sam-and-die canon.

There's some things I've enjoyed about this season but more that I haven't. I really hate God being the Big Bad. It was so powerful in earlier seasons when God wasn't there and didn't care. Now I feel boned, like all of the apocalypse plot was robbed of its meaning. Seriously, screw Chuck.

I counted in the final season that there would be more brothers ((

A reappearance of Jessica Moore would not make me at all happy. I mean, I get the symmetry of having her bookend the series but I'm just not a big fan.

I was thrilled for the re-appearance of Adam but it was not unexpected, I knew about it, so I didn't check the box for him. He's been my favorite so far because of his amazing performance, but I do love me some Becky. I even said earlier in the season 'Maybe they'll give us an older, more chilled out version of Becky', so I have had one wish come true this season.

MEG OMG MY KINGDOM FOR THE RETURN OF MEG. Except that I don't think Rachel Miner can work, really, and I'd hate to see someone else in that role, even Meg 1.0 lady.
