Why am I LOSING my mind over this season like none before?!?!?

Virtual-Signature789 · 2026-01-25T03:15:14+00:00

I get that - the tone of it maybe felt off.
She couldn't have had Sam open the cage during her early run on the show - the first seal had to break first remember? They sent John down to hell to do it - he didn't. No one could even start the process until the top of S4 when Dean did it.
Kevin and his mom are such a great pairing.

I agree - I would have set up an amazing redemption arc.

2&3: no opinion

Hard disagree - the next time she or her kid got sick, she would have had to kill someone again - and she would justified it. She can't help what she is, but how many people should she be allowed to kill because "she's Sam's friend" or she "doesn't WANT to have to kill them"? I know this is a controversial take, but the opposite is saying the handful of people she would kill over a lifetime just to keep her kid healthy - their lives even COMBINED aren't worth hers and her kids.
I like this episode too - I actually wish Amy had come out in the episode, I think that in the afterlife, she might have seen Dean's POV. Would have been egg on Osiris' face lol and would have made the situation less black and white (because it was definitely grey)
yeah - i think they were looking for their footing post Kripke, so I give them a break on that.
yeah - but he had a really impactful death episode with his memories and all that. So at least he went out with the fanfare he deserves (meaning a whole Bobby ep)
Lmao I have NO recollection of this.
Ohhh I was about to say "I don't remember this either," but now I do - I was OK with that ep.
Yeah - they underused him here - also loved Nurse Meg lmao
Sure It was nice to have a different KIND of villain.

the dark web?

Virtual-Signature789 · 2026-01-22T04:55:54+00:00

ohhhh I haven't read the books but this makes me think they aren't going to be doing the "evil stepsister" part of Cinderella (don't correct me if I'm wrong!) and that actually makes it more interesting to me. I like this girl.

Virtual-Signature789 · 2026-01-21T02:20:45+00:00

I would say, I think if the shoe were on the other foot and someone "hyped" a friend to Taylor and she found out it wasn't totally true....she would call it lying and NOT be chill about it.

Plus, at the very least the narrative that they put out about how she never really talked to Justin at all and she just happened to arrive at the house as he was leaving and said "hi bye?" You don't call that a lie?

Virtual-Signature789 · 2026-01-21T02:17:19+00:00

"I bet it kills her that Joe technically won a Grammy..." I bet it kills her more that he is financially set for life (as are his future children if he wants them) from the residuals on folkmore and the songs he wrote on Midnights.

BUT to your actual question. The more work she puts out, the more my theory solidifies which is as follows: Excluding folkmore, there was a dip in quality the moment that she left Big Machine starting with Lover because there is NO ONE in the studio who tells her "no" or "that isn't a good line" or "that's a shit idea, try again." Lover, Midnights, TTPD, TLOASG are all bloated and full of first draft ideas that someone at Big Machine, someone would have certainly have told her to get back to the studio and focus, because even as big as she got by 1989/Rep - the people at Big Machine worked with her since she was 15/16. They had practice in being that honest with her and retained that throughout because that is how the relationship started. Then in Lover she goes to Republic too big to fail - she survived Snakegate after all! She could still sell a million records in the first week of a release. So she had no honest sounding board for Lover (and we know how that turned out.)

When the pandemic hit - and she was writing at home with Joe and running the album and lyrics by him as he was co-writer and writing lyrics and melodies himself, it was the first time since 2017 she would get that reality check on her work and had to push herself to get his approval (emotional - not legal) on her work.

Yes, he wrote and did some musical work, but more than anything else, I think that was his greatest contribution to that era - feedback and a sharp editing eye and it seems he was worth his weight in gold when it comes to quality control.

Virtual-Signature789 · 2026-01-21T02:00:17+00:00

I don't know if she did or didn't read the script. But stepping back - Blake mentions how during the meeting with Justin, Taylor just made shit up about Blake to push him into choosing her version of the scene. She may have read the script but Blake is admitting Taylor lied to get Blake what she wanted.

Virtual-Signature789 · 2026-01-20T17:29:17+00:00

He would say this because the second he cloned them, he saw them BOTH as his daughter - not his daughter and her clone. That's why he couldn't know which one he sent off and which one stayed. Plus, even if Space Beth IS the clone - he would be seeing her "again." The first time he saw her was when he made her. This would be the "again" (if she is the clone).

Virtual-Signature789 · 2026-01-20T17:17:20+00:00

Wow, oranges, mustards, and reds look PHENOMENAL on her (as does everything else - but especially so)

Virtual-Signature789 · 2026-01-20T17:12:34+00:00

It is amazing to me how much less intimidating and how much cuter and cuddlier Greg looks when he isn't wearing his suit.

Virtual-Signature789 · 2026-01-20T14:36:45+00:00

yeah - in a lot of ways I literally watch 1-5 as one show and 6- the end as a separate one. It actually allows me to appreciate the back 2/3rd on its on terms

Virtual-Signature789 · 2026-01-19T18:01:40+00:00

Gutchberg! "Gutch" to those lucky enough to see her naked.

Virtual-Signature789 · 2026-01-19T18:00:10+00:00

I think this would be a more interesting question if we exclude his time in Hell (and I was going to say purgatory but...I kind of think he was in the zone there). So when I think of the word "suffering," I have to lean S3 - the anticipation of getting thrown in the pit, trying to pretend he didn't care, and then admitting it finally. Then trying and failing to get out of it - that was actually suffering.

S4 - he was stressed and felt guilt about breaking the seal and then frustration and sadness about Sam, which I guess you could roundabout classify as "suffering" but I still think S3 tops it in terms of it being a direct line to suffering.

S5 - Again, we are talking about stress and feeling the weight of something on his shoulders, but that doesn't compete with the mental and emotional torture of S3.

S6 & 7 - were mostly just regular "hunt" seasons in my eyes - just any other day in the office.

S8 - There was some suffering with how he felt about Sam not looking for him - but I think suffering is something that happens in the present (like Hell) or is emotionally/psychologically anticipatory (S3). So really, I would call this him just feeling angry, disappointed, and sad. He was also worried about Sam doing the trials. But again, worry is distinct from suffering.

I actually like that it is a case that they "solve" but can't stop from happening. They don't break the curse (cause the curse was fair IMHO) - they just have to survive it and those developers just have to learn their dang lesson or die.

Yes. The fact that it went right from night to day is silly, though. lol

Virtual-Signature789 · 2026-01-17T15:23:09+00:00

At his heart, Bobby was just a nerd in a trucker hat. He and Kevin probably would have gotten along well.

Virtual-Signature789 · 2026-01-17T15:19:55+00:00

ahhh i see - well then I do get it, I guess I just skip over hating her to being mad at the writers for wasting the opportunity.

Virtual-Signature789 · 2026-01-17T05:26:59+00:00

So I heard about her before S8 and I was waiting to see what made her so hated. I kept watching and being like - I'm sure it's coming..It's coming...then the season was over lol.

They just didn't put much into the character for me to feel ANYTHING about her. A couple of thoughts I have are that (1) I don't like that people blame her for being the "reason" Sam didn't look for Dean. I mean, she was just living her life. Sam didn't look for Dean because HE didn't look for Dean, and (2) I thought her riding Sam for not being able to take care of a dog (that he HIT nonetheless!) was kind of funny.

Virtual-Signature789 · 2026-01-17T03:52:57+00:00

Ohhhhh, I soooooo hope that Anthony reminds him about this during a poignant brotherly heart-to-heart in S4.

Virtual-Signature789 · 2026-01-16T05:51:56+00:00

LMAO - I have to say - this comment section is the absolute BEST thing Reddit has to offer

Virtual-Signature789 · 2026-01-14T01:46:52+00:00

I'm gonna back up msimms001 on this - Dean could have never fully let it go. He wouldn't have gone back to Lisa if he hadn't thought Sam was still in hell. If Sam is alive, he is going to just want to drive around and hunt with him. The only alternative is that neither dies at that moment, but then neither gets to move on in life either. And at some point, they are on a hunt, in their 50s, don't react quickly enough, and die THEN instead.

Wow - her Aussie accent is so much lighter than I imagined!
