The Mid-Season Finale and its Aftermath...
***** Contains Spoilers *****December 06, 2013The plot certainly advanced in this episode! It's no real surprise that Ezekiel turned out to be a bad guy - there's been something fishy about him for a long while - but the extent of his treachery was breathtaking! Kevin gone - eyes burned out of his skull - killed by someone he trusted implicitly when he thought he was safe in the Men of Letters Bunker! Except it wasn't Sam of course...
So Ezekiel is actually Gadreel, the angel God blamed for letting the Serpent into the Garden, allowing humans to be corrupted? That came out of left field but Metatron was his usual oily self, trying to recruit angels for his evil purposes again! The surprise is that angels seem to be taken in by him - first Cas and then Gadreel - but then again, he seems to unerringly find angels who are very trusting, even naïve. Gadreel should have known from Sam that Metatron isn't to be trusted but either he's forgotten that small fact or maybe he didn't scan all the knowledge locked up in Sam's head?
Whatever, I thought Gadreel seemed reluctant at first to join forces with Metatron and fleetingly I even thought he might still turn out to be a good guy and oppose the Scribe but things are never that simple in Supernatural!
So, Sam's gone, locked up inside his own body and Dean is left with the knowledge that he couldn't keep either Sam or Kevin safe. The last scene, where Dean looks utterly broken and is left calling out Kevin's name was heart-breaking. His look of despair was so genuine, so well acted by Jensen that for me it even eclipsed the way he looked in Season 5 after Sam couldn't shake off Lucifer's control and then when he threw himself into Lucifer's Cage.
I think Jensen acted his socks off and Jared was excellent in his portrayal of being possessed by Zeke / Gadreel. I've come to enjoy seeing Kevin again. I enjoyed him when he arrived in Season 7 but he seemed to change for the worse in Season 8. This season he's been back to his old self again so it was doubly sad to see him go...
R.I.P. Kevin. We'll miss you!
(I'd love to see Kevin back but that's probably wishful thinking rather than a serious plotline!)
The only flicker of light in the darkness is that Cas has his angel mojo back now - well, not exactly his mojo, it's another angel's grace - but it's enough to make him a Celestial again. Maybe he isn't quite Cas any more but he's close enough and I'm sure he'll help Dean to rescue Sam from Gadreel. Even that's not clear-cut however as it seems necessary for Crowley to be involved... And Crowley's price? - To be freed from the Bunker of course...
How will Sam ever forgive Dean? I look back to 'I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here', remembering that Sam asked Death to make sure that no-one could bring him back, no-one else could get hurt to save him, and now Kevin's dead and Crowley is due to walk free...
What will Sam's reaction be, if - when - he is himself again and realises what Dean has done? Will it happen next episode? - I don't know; it might hold over to episode 9.11. Will he forgive Dean? Whatever Sam feels, Dean won't forgive himself for what's happened. There'll be a separation I think. Something tells me it will be Dean leaving this time but we'll have to see...
I thought this was an excellent episode and while I am so sad about Kevin, I think it was the only way to ratchet up the consequences for Dean's decision to allow Zeke / Gadreel to possess Sam at the start of the season. I loved it.

Approaching the Mid-Season Finale...
November 29, 2013
Well, Season 9 started off with a bang! I think Sam's possession by an angel is a good opposing symmetry to his possession by Lucifer in Season 5 and I like the ironic twist that although Dean agreed to this reluctantly - again - his brother is unaware of it even now. Ezekiel - if that is who he is - may not be Lucifer but it seems like he's hiding some secret from Dean at the very least - maybe something to do with Metatron or even Castiel. It's been shown time and time again that the angels aren't on the side of humans so Dean's trust, however grudgingly given, may have been misplaced but the extent of any betrayal by Zeke remains to be seen.
Sam seems to have been a pale imitation of himself so far this season - his apparent failure to realise something's off with him shouts that out to me. I think this is likely deliberate and directly attributable to Zeke's possession but I've enjoyed seeing the scripts allowing Jensen to play Dean with more character nuances than we've seen of late. I expect Sam will return in full color once he realises what's going on and Dean's part in all this and while I want a resolution to this part of the plot, I'm also dreading it - I feel like I'll be looking through fingers over my eyes when this scene plays out!
Cas as a human has been handled well I think. His interaction with Dean has been excellent - just as good as in the earlier seasons - but enough is enough for me and I'm eager to see him return to being an angel - as soon as possible!
We've seen a different Crowley this year and it's been intriguing, although whether he really wants to be human now or is faking it is another delicious question hanging there...
I think the shifts in character, yet still keeping it within the known Supernatural-verse has added to the freshness of this Season and the plotlines seem both complex and obscure.
All in all I think it's been a lively half-season so far, with lots of promise for next year but first we have to see what next week's episode brings...

A Supernatural Spin-off?
September 09, 2013
A "Supernatural spin-off" show is in the works! This was mentioned during Comic-Con in the summer but more details have emerged. Mark Pedowitz, the CW president, confirmed that the new show would be set in Chicago and will be planted in the show's upcoming ninth season at the Television Critics Association Summer 2013 press tour.
Executive producers Jeremy Carver and Robert Singer have already said that the spin-off is currently scheduled to be introduced to viewers as Season 9, Episode 20 in a "backdoor pilot" but Carver told Entertainment Weekly that if The CW picks it up, the show will “explore the clashing monster and human characters" and "have main characters who are both human and monsters.” Singer added that the spinoff is "much more of an ensemble than 'Supernatural'".
Although Pedowitz said that he didn't think there are "any plans for [regular] characters on 'Supernatural'" to be on the spin-off, Carver and Singer told Entertainment Weekly that Jensen Ackles and Jared Padelecki will be a part of the Chicago-set spinoff but there will be an entirely different cast of characters.
As for "Supernatural", which is currently the CW's longest-running series, Pedowitz said he sees the show continuing to a Season 10 and perhaps beyond.... "I would love 'Supernatural' to continue for as long as they can continue, as long as they have great stories to tell," he said at the Television Critics Association press tour.

Gabriel Tigerman (Andy) Needs Our Help
June 22, 2013
Baby announcements from our favorite show's cast have been a joy to hear about!
However, once in a while, there is a complication. That's what is happening to Gabe Tigerman and his lovely wife Kathryn.
Here is a information released through Creation Entertainment, purveyors of the wonderful Salute to Supernatural conventions:
SUPERNATURAL FAMILY MEMBER NEEDS HELP
A member of the Supernatural family of stars, Gabriel Tigerman (Andy), needs all of our help. Gabe has been a guest at many of our Salute to Supernatural Conventions and he is certainly one of the nicest, most giving celebrities we have had the pleasure to work with over the years.
Many of us have come to feel that Supernatural fandom is a family of friendships between the audience and the stars we love to watch on television. The celebrities have all been so generous in their appearances and have made the conventions joyous occasions that we all look forward to. Gabe has certainly been part of this experience and as many might know he and his wife (Kathryn Fiore) have recently welcomed a new baby girl named Alice into their lives. Gabe's wife experienced some major difficulties during the birth and now faces a long recovery.
He has asked for help and we now are asking you, our great and loyal Creation friends, to join in assisting this young couple as they overcome this unexpected challenge. Please take the time to visit https://www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/qmg2/kathryn-and-alice-support-fund and give what you can to make this road an easier one for them to travel.
Thanks,
Creation Entertainment
We all appreciate Gabe (for SPN, for his other work, and some of us have great pictures and fun memories of his terrific personality from the conventions) and we wish him and Kathryn the best. If you are able and willing, please visit the donation site and help out.
Thank you!
