My best guess on the killings is that some of them (the father, the hangman) had sold their souls at some earlier date and the demon was using Gunnar to move up collection, the way that one demon did in Season 7 Time For a Wedding. Then there was Shawn who was killed because he said no and I have no idea if they got his soul or not. I mean if soul can be stolen that easily, why bother with deals? It's not like demons are squeamish about killing people?
I really hated that Gunnar's murdering people was so glossed over. Once he killed Shawn, "you were a guy who made a mistake" went out the door, for me. Yes, it's nice that that he decided to save Dean, but really? He's a serial killer, since we know there had been more murders before The Hangman.
I'm not convinced the Hands of God can only be used once. Two is not a large sample and way to small to prove anything other than SOME HOGs can be used only once. So I'm holding off on that for now.
This was a fun poll...I mean, yours always are, but this one cracked me up more than usual, for some reason. :D
The only thing I cringed over in this episode was my second-hand embarrassment for Dean and his wrestling theatrics. But that's a 'me' thing, not anything the show did. I liked this one better upon second-viewing and yanno? It was cute! I loved the howling of the hellhounds at the end--felt like old-school SPN--and Gunnar being brave enough to face them. The aspirin toss, Sam's delicious gray coat, and can we have a HALLELUJAH! for his hair this season? I think we can.
I think Misha is still a little hammy in his depiction of Pellegrino's Lucifer, but he gets better every time, so I'm cool with it. I'm actually finding myself on Team Crowley, here, even though he's a nasty, nasty man. I'll never forgive him for Sarah and almost-Jody. But hello, demon.
Annnnywho, decent filler ep with touches of mytharc!
I am seriously freaking the fuck out over lack of news about season 12. I just have this bad feeling, not that they'd be cancelled for ratings, but that Jared wants to quit. I mean, he's doing commercials and investing in a local Austin bar. He's said in the past that he doesn't want to be working so much when his kids are in school. And this season is pretty much the biggest showdown they could have. I hope I'm wrong, because I am not ready to let go yet.
Also Creation is selling 2017 cons already, and not just for Hawaii. What if they're trying to sell as much as they can now, knowing that interest in cons will wane once the show is off the air?
I looked up when the upfronts will be and the CW goes like dead last, not until around the 3rd week of May.
I'm sure I saw one of JPs recent facebook live chats and someone asked him about season 12, and while he said he didn't know anything, he didn't seem concerned and sort of implied that if they weren't getting it they'd have to know soon because they're shooting later season eps now, and would need to start 'wrapping up' or something? *bites nails*
Does the fact that I hate entertainment wrestling (sorry if I offend any fans) render my opinions on this ep (other than the ones praising Sam's hair) invalid?
