Supernatural - Refusing to Watch
So, I haven't watched a new episode of Supernatural since the last episode in December since in my head at the end of Death's Door Bobby could still live and I'm dreading having to deal with Bobby's death. At some point they have to have lost enough.

Supernatural - 7.01 Meet The New Boss
Castiel takes his new position as The Lord.
One of my favourite episodes of the series which pulled off the near impossible feats of making me love it while it may have killed off one of my favourite characters. Kudos to Misha Collins for portraying three characters in the same episode so effectively. Hopefully Leviathan Castiel gets to stay around for a while as he seems extremely entertaining. There were so many possibilities hinted at in episode and so many great moments. It nicely illustrated why a highly interventionist God could be a bad thing. Every time Dean meets Death I am left with the lingering feeling that Dean is being groomed for a position or task by death, sort of like with Gabriel and Sam. Bringing back Lucifer made the tormented Sam scenes tolerable. My only real problem was the preview for next week had no information about the storyline I'm interested in.
Ten out of ten.

Supernatural - Season Seven
What do I want from Season 7?
1. Keep Castiel alive and involved. Castiel and the celestial storyline is one of the main reasons I kept watching and became obsessed after season three.
2. Get poor Adam out of the Cage.
3. Dean possessed by Michael. I still feel ripped off that we never got to see Jensen Ackles do Michael. I'll happily even take an alternate timeline.
4. Where are John and Mary Winchester's souls?
5. Keep surprising me.

Supernatural - What's Wrong With Sam?
The below is all speculation.
I rather liked the "Sam is still Lucifer's Vesel" theory until the "Third Man" episode as I think Castiel would mention that to Dean, no matter how rusty his people skills are, especially given Cass' position on resuming the path to Armageddon.
I'm assuming Sam is Sam, otherwise this whole season is rather a cheat.
1.Sam hurt/abandoned/killed Adam while in the cage, possibly to earn his release. The guilt is eating him alive and he can't confess to anyone, particularly not Samuel and Dean as both would find hurting family extremely abhorrent, especially Dean in the context of Sam hurting their younger brother. Sam is once again intent on becoming the best hunter in the world in act of penance. (His current behavior, including the obsession with hunting and willingness to sacrifice people, is rather similar to his behavior in "Mystery Spot" after Dean's final death). Sam is subconsciously hurting Dean because of his presumed inability to forgive Sam the unforgivable.
2. Through a Hell time paradox (time works different down there), Sam was one of the souls or the only soul Dean tortured on the rack. Explains why Sam didn't want Dean around and is willing to risk Dean's life so casually. Would explain Sam's personality issues around Dean and why he spilled the beans to the Campbells about Dean being a torturer in Hell.
3. Sam still has "demon vision" from the pit and Dean is at least partially, if not completely, a demon. Explains why Sam didn't want Dean around and is willing to risk Dean's life so casually.
4. 2 & 3
5. Dean never made it out of Hell.
6. Dean's been in a psychiatric hospital since Sam died in season 2.
7. End of the series reveals it was all Dean's hallucinations since John left him alone and he went off his meds.
8. Dean's been catatonic or suffering delusions since Mary or Sam died in a house fire Dean lit when he was four.

Supernatural - 6.01 Exile on Main Street
A year later, Dean is still living with Lisa and Ben when he begins to suspect something strange is going on in his neighbourhood.
First off, a disclaimer: I'm a Dean girl which is rather odd as all logic says a should be a Sam girl.
Which of those tests Sam did on himself eliminated an archangel? I think some holy oil action was called for just to be sure Lucifer wasn't on board. Has anybody tested Gramps?
What were Sam and Bobby thinking letting Dean stay with Lisa and Ben for almost a year? How wasn't that doing more harm than good for everyone involved? Sam, come on, you know how messed you were when Dean was in Hell, so why would you think it would be better for your brother who sold his soul to get you back from the dead? I'm starting to suspect Dean is the smarter Winchester.
So what was with Gramps capturing the Djinn instead of killing it? Is he experimenting on creatures or letting them go?
As for the episode, I didn't like it as much or felt it had the same amount of visual or emotional impact as "Lazarus Rising."
Eight of out ten.

Supernatural - 3.04 Sin City
Sam and Dean visit a town over run with sin while Bobby attempts to figure out the Colt.
I loved Dean's conversation with demon in the basement and the fact it may have been more insightful than any of their previous conversations with demons. I also liked the beginning of the Lucifer mythos and the battles between Heaven and Hell. I wish we could have seen this demon again as her sympathies towards Dean and Sam were intriguing. I liked Bobby's arrival with the Colt.
Surprisingly, watchable for an episode lacking a lot of action or suspense and a lot more interesting for the concepts it lays out in retrospect.
Eight Colts out of ten.

Supernatural - 3.03 Bad Day at Black Rock
Bela's first episode. I enjoyed this episode more than I remembered and to be honest, I always liked Bela.

Thursday AKA Apocalypse Night
After finally watching the season premiere of Fringe, I am wondering how many shows about the Apocalypse can fit into one evening, let alone one time slot. Any chance of a Fringe-Supernatural crossover? Could be fun watching Walter argue with Castiel.
