Okay Goodbye Stranger was a funny episode. Thank God that it was. That's the only reason I watch Supernatural anymore. If it gets too serious, then I get bored. Why is that? Because the only time it gets serious is when it's about poor darling Dean. After episode 10, the episodes have been a whole lot better. I haven't missed boring Amelia or boring Benny. I don't know which character I found more boring. And the saddest thing of all, is I find Dean the most boring out of all the characters on the show. He never changes at all. He's still exactly the same. His hair, his clothing, his attitude. Everything. He's so static and it doesn't matter what character he's interacting with. The scenes with Castiel and Dean were boring and I've seen that same crap how many times now. How many more times is Castiel going to punch Dean in the face and beat him up? I guess Dean probably thinks Castiel beating him up is a sign of love or something. After everything Castiel has done since he first appeared to Dean, I'm still surprised Dean thinks of him as family. Castiel has done nothing but lied to Dean and used him and Sam to get what he wants.
I'd think good stuff is coming up for Sam with these trials, but I doubt it. It will all be about Dean and how he feels about what's happening with Sam. Not how Sam feels about anything. Then, I bet towards the last couple episodes it will turn to Dean's story and what is going to happen with him and continue into season nine. I'd only be interested in Dean, if he finally gets to show his dark side and I know he has one. Then I'd be interested. They've never really explored Dean's dark side and he certainly has one. He loved hunting and killing stuff in Purgatory with Benny. He thought Purgatory was pure. Why? Because he could just kill and not care about who or what he was killing. He tortured souls in hell and loved doing it. So, Dean certainly has a dark side that he wants to forget in his self righteousness. That makes him even more arrogant. Sam has faced his dark side and come out stronger for it. While Dean and Bobby tried to forget their darkness by sucking down a ton of booze.
I have some theories about Naomi and I wish they would be true, but I'm probably not even close. And I'm still hoping that boring Amelia never shows up again because as long as she's gone, I'm going to pretend that she wasn't even real and was all in Sam's head. I still think there was something strange about all that happened with Sam. Just thinking about everything that Sam did and said with Amelia gets me hoping that she was all just in his head. That maybe she was a real person that Sam met, but everything that happened between them was all just being played out in Sam's mind.
Here's some dumb things about the show that I've noticed. I love how the angels and demons resort to punching and physical contact when they all have a ton of powers and can just use them to kill whatever they want. And they can use those powers to torture as well without even touching anyone. If Naomi wanted Dean dead, then why didn't she just kill him herself or have Castiel use his powers to kill Dean. How did Crowley know that Sam killed his precious hell hound? Who told him or how did he know? Or was the stink of his hell hound all over on Sam. Sam and Dean took off and let Meg die and it was like they could just drive away from Crowly as fast as they could, when Crowley if he wanted, could just appear in their backseat. I think the writers of the show forget all that they've had angels and demons do. They have powers that are way beyond normal humans perception. Castiel sitting on a bus. You gotta love it. It still makes me think he's God.
I've read some stupid spoilers that won't spoil the show in any way. Benny coming back. Yuck. I hope he dies. Please let him die. Maybe that will be the next trial for Sam. To kill a vampire. Or maybe they need Benny to get to the Alpha Vampire and that's who Sam has to kill or whatever. Who knows? I'm still waiting for Bobby to show back up. I still think he's going to come back just like Gramps Campbell and Adam. If the angels can bring people back to life, then they can bring him back.
Just felt like writing this. I've been enjoying the show and I hope it continues to entertain me. I've been laughing at work thinking about all the crap. It makes the day go by faster.
