AMA : Supernatural addition
Scrolls back to make sure I'm not re-asking any questions
Has there been any episode that you've changed your mind about in a positive way?
Has there been any episode that you've changed your mind about in a negative way?
If you could add in a monster-of-the-week episode with a monster we've never seen the boys fight, what monster would you bring out and why?
If Cas zapped them anywhere (to avoid planes) for a vacation, where do you think they would go?
Thoughts on Cas's grace/wing situation post fall? Do you subscribe to the headcanon that because his grace was separate he should still have his wings? (Realizing that clearly it's time to reread Only Human since i do not actually remember the answer)
You have any fic ideas bouncing around your head that are still even too early days to be called proper WIPs?
If you had to rank the seasons, how would they fall?
Thoughts on Michael and Adam?
Episode that is garenteed to make you laugh?
Episode that is garenteed to make you cry?
Know you have a lot of facinating thoughts on John, but do you have a similar amount of thoughts about Mary?
What do you think is the best practical effect that the show ever pulled off?
Any opinions related to particular the last 5 seasons (11, 12, 13, 14, 15) of the show?
Did you ever think when you started watching the show that all these years later you would be this invested in it?
Do you have any headcanons about Cas's True Form?
What loose end side plot from the show annoys you the most with the lack of closure?
Uuuuuum...What do you think is everybody's favorite color?
Okay that's all I can think of right now! Have a great day!!!
Has there been any episode that you've changed your mind about in a positive way?
Heaven Can’t Wait sucks less than I gave it credit for.
Has there been any episode that you've changed your mind about in a negative way?
Wishful Thinking is way more rapey than I remember.
If you could add in a monster-of-the-week episode with a monster we've never seen the boys fight, what monster would you bring out and why?
We’re retconning the “dragons” and letting the boys fight a real proper dragon.
If Cas zapped them anywhere (to avoid planes) for a vacation, where do you think they would go?
Dean says “Take us to a beach” and Cas in his infinite wisdom picks an icy beach in Greenland. Dean is displeased, Sam is amused.
Thoughts on Cas's grace/wing situation post fall? Do you subscribe to the headcanon that because his grace was separate he should still have his wings? (Realizing that clearly it's time to reread Only Human since i do not actually remember the answer)
Complicated. From a practical standpoint, I think it was necessary to kneecap Cas’ ability to zap himself anywhere in order to bring him into the show more frequently, because a LOT of their problems would be over before they began if Cas could still fly all the time. It’d be a lot harder to write for.
ALSO I like the idea that Cas wasn’t completely human so even without his grace he still technically could have ‘fallen’.
HOWEVER in order for that to make sense someone would have at some point had to actually have SAID anything to that effect. So.
I ascribe to the headcanon that Cas hadn’t been human enough and while he didn’t go screaming to earth on fire, he was still damaged in the fall and thus is unable to fly but as it stood in the show, they didn’t give enough of an explanation so it WAS stupid that his wings got shredded.
You have any fic ideas bouncing around your head that are still even too early days to be called proper WIPs?
Yeah, two. One with Dean and Lee and one in purgatory.
If you had to rank the seasons, how would they fall?
5, 12, 4, 11, 7, 8, 9, 10, 2, 13, 1, 6, 3, 15, 14
Thoughts on Michael and Adam?
Love them. One of the few good things in season 15.
Episode that is guaranteed to make you laugh?
Episode that is guaranteed to make you cry?
Dean opening up to “Emmanuel” in the car after Cas says “You’re not a machine, Dean.”
Know you have a lot of fascinating thoughts on John, but do you have a similar amount of thoughts about Mary?
Mary was 29 years old when she died, and therefore (casting choices aside) was 29 years old when she came back to life.
She is a 29 year old with two babies and a husband who suddenly is thrust back into the world decades later and immediately told her husband is dead and her two boys are now complete strangers she doesn’t know from anyone who are also significantly older than her.
Dean is 37. Dean is 8 years older than her. Sam is 33.
Mary died on the ceiling the same age Dean died and was dragged to hell.
Frankly she takes it very well all things considered. She’s vilified by the fandom unjustly. We’re conditioned to look at Sam and Dean and be like “they’re the main characters so only their feelings matter and she hurt their feelings so she is devil lady.” Which is stupid AF.
“You are not a child.” “I never was.” Yeah ok but she didn’t raise you to be a hunter, and it wasn’t her choice to be dead instead of raising you.
“But she made a deal with a demon and that led to Azazel getting to Sam!” She made a deal with a demon at 19 years old to save the person she loves most in the world. Dean made a deal with a demon to save Sam and he started the fucking apocalypse. (No shade to Dean.)
They’ve all made dumb mistakes, even BMoL Ramiel sized ones, we’re just choosing to ignore some because we like our boys better. But it’s putting an unfair expectation on Mary to be perfectly what everyone wants her to be and ignoring that she is human.
An aside: She wouldn’t have even batted an eye with how Jack killed Nick, and it was the most forced thing to make her hassle Jack until he snapped her into ashes.
What do you think is the best practical effect that the show ever pulled off?
Michael v. Lucifer Season 13 Finale. There is a rack focus between 2014 Dean and 2009 Dean in The End that is so seamless it is delicious. The practical side of the hellhounds tearing up Dean is pretty cool too.
Any opinions related to particular the last 5 seasons (11, 12, 13, 14, 15) of the show?
I think I like later seasons SPN more than most people (despite my distaste for season 14 because 14 is offensively stupid). I thought 15 was largely uninteresting, not actively bad. I think 13 started strong but fell off very rapidly after Tombstone into being just again uninteresting.
I think 11 had a lot of good episodes and I really liked season 12 a lot.
Did you ever think when you started watching the show that all these years later you would be this invested in it?
I honestly didn’t expect the show to last as long, but it wasn’t something that would have surprised me. If a show is really good, I latch onto it hard, and it’s reaffirmed if there are other people also as/more into it as me. So SPN still having a lot of fan attention keeps it going. I think if SPN had ended 5 years earlier, there’d be a lot less of us here now, and the interest might have died off more. I imagine it’ll drop off in the next few years.
Do you have any headcanons about Cas's True Form?
Hard to make anything out. Lots of wings, eyes, and bright brilliant flashes of color.
What loose end side plot from the show annoys you the most with the lack of closure?
Ghost Kevin. Someone better look me in the eyes and assure me Jack brought him to heaven. To a lesser degree what was up with Cas "my powers are fading" season 15?
Uuuuuum...What do you think is everybody's favorite color?
Sam likes blue. Dean likes red. Cas has not really given it a lot of thought and picks a random color when asked. (Thoughts based on vibes and oft-worn clothing colors.)
