![]() ![]() I don’t know what this says about me, but I’m going with Jared Padalecki’s superb acting of Sam’s defiant, grief-stricken endurance of pain. CometCas (or as someone said online, “Casteroid”), Dean and Mary on the bench, and Sam throwing his head back in pain are my top three. Nightsky: There are so many (which indicates the high quality of this premiere). You wanna get mad, you wanna get mean? I've been tortured by the Devil himself. How about I pick a quote though, just to mix it up? The winner for me came from Sam: “You can ask me any type of question you want, but the answer is gonna be the exact same. Dean’s realization of what was going through Mary’s mind as she gazed at the back seat, pretty damned priceless. It’s up there when Dean unleashed his baby after keeping her in storage in Supernatural Season 6. That was easily the best scene of the whole episode. and Dean's totally uncomfortable reaction.Īlice: I’m with Christine. (Full disclosure: is owned by CBS, one of the CW's parent companies.Christine: I loved a lot of little moments during the hour, but I think the best had to be Mary's reunion with Baby, and that longing look at the backseat. Supernatural airs Thursdays at 9/8c on The CW. And that's not the kind of story that gets wrapped up neatly in sixty minutes or less. Right now though, this is a story about a mom and her sons reconnecting after decades of loss. There is new, looming danger on the horizon: Lucifer is free and leaving a trail of corpses across the midwest Heaven and Hell are plagued with infighting (as usual) and the UK Men of Letters draconian approach to human-monster relations is certainly going to play a large role this season, given Dean and Sam's own struggles with whether to kill first or look for the humanity in the vampires, werewolves, and other creepy-crawlies they come across. That isn't the case from what we've seen in Season 12 so far. Supernatural is very much at ease with being a serialized story, but too often, each season can feel isolated from its brethren. So often, the show has given us a premiere that ties up the strings from the previous finale far too quickly. "Keep Calm and Carry On," was a slow starter, as far as Supernatural premieres go - but that's okay. Sam was very clearly bored through the whole ordeal. There's literally nothing Toni can do to him that will break him at this point, short of pumping him full of demon blood, and even then, results may vary. He thinks his brother died stopping the Darkness. ![]() For being so much better and smarter and in-the-know about all things supernatural, I'm having a hard time swallowing the idea that Lady Toni and her merry band of monster-murderers have no idea what the last few apocalypses entailed.Īnyway, Sam Winchester spent a century sharing a bunk with Lucifer himself. Something about the Colonies' Men of Letters sucking, the Winchesters being monsters/frauds, and.I don't know. ![]() Why is she torturing him again? I honestly don't remember. ![]() A woman with Mary's experience and background can handle these sorts of revelations and keep functioning with only a pause here and there to reflect on OMG COMPUTERS ARE SO SMALL NOW and WOW THE MEN OF LETTERS ARE REAL? and WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY SONS ENDED UP BEING HUNTERS ANYWAY?Īlso, Dean was conceived in the back seat of the Impala? Is that what was going on there? With the smirk and the Official Dean Winchester Shudder of TMI? All I have to say to that is: well of course he was.ĭuring all of the sharing and caring with the obligatory undercurrents of death and disaster, Sam ( Jared Padalecki) was in fact shot in the leg at the end of season 11's finale, tossed in the back of an SUV, and whisked away to the latest forgettable basement torture chamber by Scowly Spice herself, Lady Toni (Elizabeth Blackmore). She's been dead for over thirty years and recently resurrected by God's sister as a kindness to Dean ( Jensen Ackles), since he helped her overcome that pesky bloodlust murder-machine shtick she had going on. She knows what's out there, and that the monsters under the bed don't always make sense. The show wasted no time on rationalizing this latest weird development to the formerly departed Mama Winchester, a decision that worked to the series' credit. Here's the thing about Supernatural's big old season 12 premiere: we knew that Mary Winchester ( Samantha Smith) was going to emotionally slay us - and we showed up anyway, because that's what this show has conditioned us to do after all these years of scary-sexy man-angst. ![]()
