Season 10, Episode 18: Book Of The Damned

Is that a sword?

Charlie!

Whoa. Funky

This is spooky

That doesn't sound good

Charlie!

Oh boy

He turned it off because you like it

I got confused for a second

Buddy. You've been human for all of two seconds

Does he ever shut up?

Ew

Please?

Yay

Exactly

That was satisfying

Dude. Shut your trap

Thank you, Cas

A lot of things

Oh yeah, Sam doesn't know 😂

Maybe

Dean.

Oh, Charlie

Well that's comforting

I did know that, actually

The bunker is as safe as it gets

Good for Charlie!

Hunches are good

Like a curse

That's a lead

Their tracker probably doesn't work past the bunker's wards

That's less than a day's travel by interstate from Lebanon

Absolutely

Nice!

HECK YEAH THIN LIZZIE

Aw, Dean

Sam! How dare you turn it off

He's hopeful

Sam, don't be mean

That's true

Unfortunately not

Ah, yes. The beach dream

Great question

That's a horrible feeling actually, but I agree with the sentiment

Seriously? You gave him waffle?

Shut up, you narcissistic pathetic excuse for a celestial being

Dude.

Not really

Absolutely not. Cas is nothing like him

Never.

But you didn't know he would be!

Sic 'em, Cas

Suck it up, buttercup

Don't fall for it

Uh oh

Same

Sleep is good

Darkness, huh?

Ooh, fun!

Dean. Are you okay?

Maybe someone else should take the book

Yeah...

Good idea

Ew

What happened to him?

Yikes

Interesting...

Of course

Research time!

Something like Navajo code?

Hah!

Cheerleader Dean

That was weird

Yeah...

Uh oh

This is concerning

That's just sad

Scary

Okay then

Scavenger hunt!

No, you may not

Fall in love?

So, Metatron's favorite books: a title about madness

Dean...

So he found it

I didn't want to think about it

Sam, you have no idea

That's freaky

They're not gonna do it

That's debatable

Until he goes insane

This sounds familiar

Oh, Dean...

He shouldn't have left. Something's wrong

Not really

Nope

With celestial intent

He's a Winchester.

Probably a lot

Why do you care?

Well that's fantastic

I wanna punch him in the face so bad

Don't open that can of worms, Charlie

Got it on the nose

Oh, Charlie...

She had a whole future ahead of her

Heh. That didn't happen

Yeah, something like that

Do you?

So do you understand now?

Death and taxes.

That's not good!

Hey!

Nope

Tilt at windmills?

He's back!

His wings...

Uh oh.

Here we go

This is not gonna end well

Pocket change!

Crazy coincidences

Oh, buddy, you have no idea what you've just gotten into

Dean's not a friend

Gummy bears!

What makes you think he'll spill?

Crazy coincidences

Does it?

Not really

Dean...

That won't work

Get him in the head!

Well crap

Unfortunately

Great question

He's gonna burn the book

He's not gonna do it

Oh no

Go for the head!

Come on, Sam

Sleight of hand

I'm surprised that worked

Hmm.

That's still a win

About that...

Fangirl moment

Everyone thinks that. He just spends most of his time with giants

Unfortunately not

Probably

I think they did

Pizza!

Right...

Guys. Don't lie to him

I'm sorry, what.

This is nice

He's talking to Rowena

I knew it

Dang it, Sam

Yeah

Called it

They're lucky this aligns with her own ideals

[correct-hermitcraft-quotes]

Zedaph: This is rule five- four? Five! Rule five is; Aways belittle anything you have on a lead, it's the only way.

Skizz: Okay...

Zedaph: You gotta, assert dominance, you know?

[witchinatree]

making a list of my favorite quote/ones that stuck with me from each season 1 episode because i feel like it

(i'm starting this after episode 4 but it will be a WHILE before i post it)

episode 1: "bones are a lie peddled by Big Milk" - alice

i love this one because it's a great introduction to alice i think. also it radiates spiral so i hope we get avatar alice not dead alice (isnt there a podcast called alice isnt dead?)

episode 2: "If I wanted to clear the canvas, I would have used turpentine." - statement

this one was just fucking powerful and caught me so off guard like 😶

episode 3: "What would I do without her?" - statement

the norris statement <3 it feels like martin asking what he would do without jon which makes mag200 a lot sadder and i love them

episode 4: "Perhaps you shall prove a stronger will than I, and will yet find it within yourself to destroy this hungry thing of wood and cat-gut." - statement

augustus sighting #1 and we immediately get jonah magnus expressing that it may be possible for gwen bouchard unknown family member to overcome the eye's hunger spooky violin

episode 5: "Voyeur needs to be seen to be believed." - statement

i feel like this one is pretty reflective of how the seasons gonna go? like if you explain the events of tma (mag200 specifically) no one's gonna believe you, it must be seen to be believed!! and also seen!! like the eye!!!

episode 6: "Not sca- This isn’t some poxy blood test, some little pinprick, this is hundreds, thousands of razor sharp points pushing into your flesh." - needles

i love needles so much and i thought this was really funny because it was like "you dont find me scary!! what the fuck!!!" just kind of toddler michael energy

episode 7: "It’s not like we’re wrestling with tape recorders and manila folders." - celia

STOP IT. celia you can't say that you just cannot!!!!!! you Know™ too much maam i cant with you

episode 8: "Pleasure to meet you both. I’m Gerry!"

RAGHHHHH OH MY GOD GERRY!!!! i love him so much and idk how to handle him being alive in the tmagp universe!! gertrude too but idk we got so much of her in tma and not nearly enough of gerry

episode 9: "And honestly, it’s kind of compelling by this point." - sam

they got him 😔😔 the horrors got sam 😔😔 also i found this to be an interesting contrast to jon's heavy resistance in season 1 like he was being compelled but he wasn't going to let anyone know that vs sam "its kinda compelling to trauma dump on this paperwork :]" how is he somehow even more victim material

episode 10: "Gosh you’re sexy, here’s a twenty for your trouble.” - alice

does this count as a quote if shes also quoting what she thinks sam should say? idk anyway i love her i would say that to her if given the chance and it was very silly. i will not be addressing bonzo i am scared.

episode 11: "...Thank you, Alice" - gwen

dyhard dyhard dyhard dyhard dyhard. okay also, the way she CRUMBLED at the idea of anyone doing anything nice for her please someone give her a hug and let it be ME. this series is tossing me back and forth between sam & alice (what is their ship name) and dyhard but this put me back to dyhard

episode 12: "You know it's rude to have absolutely no game?" - alice

she's so fucking funny i need her to be okay so badly!!!! i don't think even tim made me laugh as much as she makes me chuckle and this one really got me. it's hard to write such a comedic character in a podcast since you only have the voice but they really nailed it i adore her

episode 13: "Is it my fault?" - gwen

each of these episodes just reveal a little bit more about how loving and soft gwen is and idk i love her so unbelievably much so seeing that she felt guilt about the bonzo stuff just made her so much more real :(

episode 14: "Christ, they’re in the walls…" - statement

theyre in the walls!!! theyre in the goddamn walls!!!!! anyway that got me because i realized the hole before the statement said it. made more sad than scared tbh

episode 15: "Babies are cool!" - alice this entire interaction between her and sam & celia was so awkward, she is so obvious and i love her anyway

episode 16: "It’s not like I was holding doors open for Mr Bonzo or anything." - gwen my wife is so so so stupid but i adore her AND this gives room for character development. i wish she did not do that though. i love when characters are flawed and have depth but i struggled to get past THIS flaw of hers

episode 17: "Thanks, I guess. Not exactly the same, though, is it?" - celia shes talking TO JON IN THE COMPUTER. SHE KNOWS. i lost my damn mind i love her i love her. get the gay people out of the puter please queen

episode 18: "Why would I need to talk to you? Your work is satisfactory. Unless you have a work-related issue I could assist you with?" - lena solidified my opinion that lena is the best boss to ever have, i adore her and i would want to work for her if she wasn't the boss of Creepy Establishment #1

episode 19: "You’re going to throw it in the fishtank, aren’t you?" - alice colin's behavior is like really worrying BUT i'm glad he's back. i was not convinced he was still alive

episode 20: "I suppose it’s too late for remorse, isn’t it? And why should I be sorry? This is what I deserve!" - ink5oul/statement they reminded me of jon a lot, like especially his season 3/4 transformation when he doesn't quite know everything but he knows he isn't who he was in season 1 anymore, i hope we see more of their life and they can be helped :(

episode 21: [Tape Recorder Bites Ink5oul] - audio description i know it's not technically a quote but this is just so fucking funny. why does it have teeth. what does this mean for the lore. holy shit.

episode 22: "Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood" - celia. knawing at the walls of my enclosure i am so not okay. i'm not okay. wtf. wtf. wtf. they're real. wtf.

episode 23: "I had a favorite mug. It said “love you, bitch” and had a picture of a drunk dog on it." - alice. okay i just love this entire interaction because gwen got to open up a little bit and my dyhard heart is so full

episode 24: "I am told that children like me, and I’ve always held the opinion that the world would be a better place if everyone just thought more." - basira. once again this whole interaction was so fun but like idk i loved hearing basira somewhat happy and in a safe place :] my wife <3

episode 25: " I am trying to help, to save us from this goddamned fucking nightmare machine!" - colin. MAN I REALLY WAS ROOTING FOR YOU!!! I WAS SO CONFIDENT YOU WEREN'T GONNA DIE!!!! it's over

episode 26: "I was worrying for a moment that you were Magnussing." - alice. MAGNUSSING BEING CANON MADE ME SAY IT EVEN MORE I'VE SAID IT LIKE TWICE ALREADY

episode 27: "You didn’t tell me the room was labelled, “Archivist.”" - celia. oooooh somebody's got TRAUMAAAAA LMAO

episode 28: "So you’re telling me you know nothing about an OIAR external contract being found with the bodies of two tattooed thugs who met rather grisly ends?" - TREVOR HERBERT???? anyway. ink5oul mention!!!!! i hope they stop killing people it's really rude

episode 29: "Alice, er… we’ve got to talk. It’s important." - teddy. i knew it was over for him but i didn't think it was gonna be THIS bad??? bye babe i guess??? 😭

episode 30: how do i even pick. the whole fucking episode. i can't. i am in a state of shock. i need to lay down for 30 years.

[softcannoli]

my insane “watch all of supernatural in a month and a half” project is starting to wear me down a little, to the surprise of probably no one

[totally-ikea]

I’m so normal about rendog I swear guys

[daniclaytcn]

i'm just glad it was a cable network and not a streaming service that picked it up

[iinryer]

i have so many things i could say about how wild and fun 706 was but i just keep getting stuck on how much i wish the amnesia guy in the vents call had happened in 705 instead of as a flashback…

[irradiatedsnakes]

i think? it's been said there's going to be more exploration of the teen/aya vers of the characters in the pnf reboot and i am dreading that for a number of reasons but especially the relationship between a 17/18 year old and a 26 year old whose fucking idea was this

[isagrimorie]

I just read a post about wanting shows to swing for the fences and to always subvert expectations.

And, you know fair! I also want shows to swing for the fences!

But reading 'subvert audience expectations' gave me such a knee-jerk flinch and horror flashbacks of all the shows since Game of Thrones that have done 'subvert your expectations' and liking maybe a handful, or less of all the times a show tried to 'subvert' my expectations.

(Game of Thrones is the prime example of Doing. Subvert Your Expectations. Wrong. Westworld is IMO, the second example. Nolan learned all the wrong lessons from Person of Interest and this is why, IMO-- Person of Interest is still way better than Westworld.

And then, for a time there were shows and movies playing the 'subvert your audience expectations game' and I remember hating it because they were doing it wrong).

I'm great with a show just being able to do a lot but also I'm hoping for a show to do both.

There's been some talk about not wanting world and universe-ending threats. All. The. Damned. Time. And, I partially agree with that.

On the other hand, that was almost always the season finale end for Buffy and I didn't mind it.

But, I think, that's because there was room for stand-alone stories along with the universe/world-ending plots.

And, in that space, epic, swing for the fences stories were made.

Also, I 've now binged 911 (first of all why did no one talk about how this show has a variety of stories that's not just the procedural elements. THERE ARE HEIST STORIES IN THIS? C'mon guys, more than hot people and ships, that's my jam. There's halloween episodes? THERE'S ORIGIN STORIES???? Angela Basset and Casey McCall of Sports Night??? Jennifer Love Hewit and Chimney Han???). Also as far as I've watched there's only 18 episodes, long enough for the kind of stand alone character centric, relationship building stories and time to breathe, and some pretty ridic arc stories-- which yeah its a standard procedural but there's also a lot of swing for the fences episodes.

Person of Interest LOOKS like a standard procedural but it's a trojan horse for a fantastic cyberpunk ASI vs ASI story with brilliant character developments and relationships.

[wheucto]

the entirety of BFDI so far is 16:10:39 (hours, minutes, seconds). assuming the average sleep time is 8 hours, then that's a little more than typical waking hours

[roychewtoy]

right right just quickly. something so tasty. So evil about the elevator to logans apartment being so similar to the elevator in the club in prague, that has become synonymous with the dog cage story. they aren't getting pulled back in. they never left!

Day in Fandom History: June 28…

When a prehistoric beast snatches Mabel’s beloved pet pig Waddles after Stan puts him outside the shack, the Pines, teaming up with Old Man McGucket out of the blue, to rescue the pig before it’s too late. “Land Before Swine” premiered on this day, 10 Years Ago.

[anyroads]

What's interesting to me about this discourse is whether or not it holds any place for how many series have been cancelled without an opportunity for a satisfying conclusion because of the very producers the WGA is striking against? If you think writers don't want to finish telling their stories, then wow are you confused about why they do what they do. As opposed to the networks and the AMPTP who don't care about story for a second, they only care about the bottom line. If their threshold for a show is 3 million viewers and it's only got 2.8 million, then that show gets cancelled, and don't think for a second they think twice about the 2.8 million people who don't get to hear the rest of the story they've committed to. They don't.

The writers not only don't owe you their labor, but most of them WANT to finish telling you the story. It's just that if they don't get reasonable pay and healthcare, then they aren't able to. And the guy who could be telling you a story in five years won't even get a chance to start it. That's what they're fighting for.

The big discourse on twitter right now is that writers going on strike or cancelling their own series are breaking an invisible “contract” they made with their fans and all creators owe their fans a satisfying conclusion to their stories. Actually if a creator says “I don’t want to perform this labor anymore,” then regardless of the cliffhanger that leaves you with, your only response should be “take care! Thank you for all your hard work!!!” :)

I don’t love Liv’s hair in season 18, I don’t hate it, but it’s meh, maybe if it had more highlights
