The Executioner’s Song (2023) Artist: Dwayne Booth (Mr. Fish)
I agree with you that SPN season 10 is among the worst, quite boring and the Mark of Cain arc definitely disappointing. Not to mention all those useless subplots, with inconsistent characters like Cole, Claire, the angels etc. But the character of Cain is, in my opinion, really interesting. Also because the actor is really good. He would have been a fantastic villan throughout the season, but they only used him for a single episode. A wasted opportunity. What did you think of "The Executioner's Song"?
Cain was a such freaking wasted opportunity! Instead they wasted the mid season finale on an insufferable teenage Claire Novak. A Thousand Flipping Birdies to PROMO DEPARTMENT and Thousand Years in Jail for inflicting SIX more episodes of the Golf Princess for the next THREE years! *breath deeply*.
So, "Executioner’s Song". Ever since he gave the Mark of Idiocy to Dean, Cain went back to his murdery ways. Naturally Dean must kill him. Naturally Cain took issue with that. From here, this is how the rest of season 10 should have gone.....
Missed opportunity 1, Cain meeting Sam.
Cain killed Abel to "save" him from Lucifer, similar to John instructing Dean to kill Sam if he can't save him. Imagine all the confidence Cain had that he did the right thing for six thousand years, until he meets Sam. Slowly Cain start to have doubts that he actually saved Abel and it breaks him and that's what re-starts Cain on a murdery path. Colette stopped him, but it's Dean's own Colette (Sam) who unstops him. Which leads us to..
Missed opportunity 2, Cain as season 10's Big Bad and kills Claire Novak because he's "saving" her from a lifetime of danger from hunting. Dean still thinks he can save Cain until he kills Charlie Bradbury to reunite her with her mother in heaven. Now Cain has crossed the line and Dean has no choice but to put Cain down.
Missed opportunity 3, Cain decides that Dean will be the last person he "saves" because Dean is living his life in reverse. Dean will kill Crowley first, which will be conflicting for him, then Castiel, which will be difficult, but killing Sam will be the act that Dean will not survive. Cain taunts Dean that he's doing him a favor because Sam will be safe and free of Dean to finally live the life he wants. Cain's words have an impact on Dean and he seriously considers the idea that Cain is right.
The last missed opportunity is a second musical to show us what Cain did before he met Colette in Galivant
Not Despair, Misha? Good to know! 😂😂😂 I'll keep this one on file.
Love Tim's answer.
