Supernatural Season 9 Finale Roundtable --
Ten Supernatural bloggers gather to discuss the hits and misses of season 9

In many ways, the Mark of Cain arc was the culmination of years of false starts and abandoned storylines for Dean. He and the audience were directly confronted with his fear of becoming a demon as far back as Season 3’s ‘Dream a Little Dream of Me,’ and we were teased with the lingering effects of his time in Hell and his talent for torture during the fantastic ‘On the Head of a Pin,’ but the repercussions of his time downstairs were never fully explored – one of the show’s most egregious missed opportunities, as far as I’m concerned. Dean’s role as Michael’s vessel was also squandered, and while his time in Purgatory managed to reaffirm his passion for hunting, that plotline, too, was discarded far too early. It has often seemed like the show doesn’t know what to do with Dean when it comes to including him in the larger mythology, despite the myriad aforementioned opportunities to do so organically. The Mark of Cain felt far less organic than being Michael’s vessel or Hell-induced PTSD might’ve been, but given the show’s preoccupation with dysfunctional sibling dynamics, Cain and Abel’s story did seem ripe for a Supernatural twist.”

“In our midseason roundtable I stated that I felt Dean’s mytharc was as it always has been: a study of Dean’s emotions,” Vinnie said. “I stand by that. The difference this season was the unlike previous seasons that explored Dean’s love, devotion, responsibility, and the like all because he had so much to lose. This season explored what happens when Dean feels he has nothing left to lose because it (Sam) is already lost to him. So in a way, Dean’s mytharc was introduced quite early in the season and built to a head in the last few episodes.”


Jensen Ackles’ strength has always been being a pillar of acting talent on Supernatural and this season — particularly this season — was no exception. “[The Mark of Cain storyline had] phenomenal acting from Jensen,” Lynn said. “I have no clue how he does it, but I swear I can read every emotion Dean Winchester is feeling in his eyes and on his face without a single word being spoken. He can break my heart with one look at his brother. I also think he did an excellent job of portraying Dean’s ambivalent feelings about becoming more and more addicted to the Blade – when I asked him about this story line a few months ago, he said he was playing it as an addict, and he did. That ambivalence is a significant part of addiction, as the person realizes that they’re playing with fire and a part of them knows there will be consequences.” Danielle concurred, saying “Ackles has proven time and again that he is a true actor: able to put you in his character’s mind by the expressions on his face. He can do a lot with a little, and the writers have often written to those strengths.” Finally, Nikki added that “he’s really taken on the story and a lot of his talent has everything to do with facial expressions and not the lines themselves. While in some spots, I felt like I was watching two seasons thrown into one, Jensen kept Dean level and his character was consistent with the goings on around him.”


Despite Ackles knocking it out of the park acting-wise, the group of us did have several problems with the Mark of Cain storyline. Not surprisingly, a lot of them revolved around pacing (which you’ll see is a common complaint for the season as a whole).
“While I think Jensen did pretty well with it, the Mark of Cain stuff felt very rushed to me, almost like an afterthought at times. The actor who played Cain sold it pretty well, but Abaddon or no Abaddon, Dean was entirely too quick to take on the Mark,” Mike pointed out.

Lynn further explained “I think it made sense given his emotional state at the time – Dean was vulnerable because he was hurting, his perceived rejection by Sam leaving what Jensen described as “a gaping wound” in Dean that he didn’t know how to fill. He was also consumed with guilt and self-loathing after the debacle of allowing Gadreel to possess Sam and the death of Kevin as a result, so he clearly didn’t care about the consequences. He didn’t even want to hear them. He just wanted a path forward, some way to ‘make things right’ and to get revenge on Gadreel and Metatron and Abbadon. It was a reckless thing to do, but it made sense to me that Dean would do it.” While I agree that Dean leapt into the situation without thinking of the consequences (something both Winchesters have done time and time again), I agree that the pacing in terms of how the story unfolded was the real problem.

“I do wish we hadn’t had to waste almost half a season on Dean deceiving Sam and wringing his hands with guilt over it – that storyline should’ve been truncated by at least a couple of episodes (a potent reminder that post-Season 5, I’ve often felt the show would benefit from a cable-length season of 13-15 episodes to cut out the filler),” Laura said. “Considering it took a few episodes for the Mark to even come into play after ‘First Born,’ it would’ve made more sense for the Mark and the First Blade to be introduced earlier to really give the writers and Ackles a chance to explore their developing effects, without trying to cram all that story into the last few episodes (which were already overflowing with plot twists).” Marisa agreed, saying “given the importance of the mark, it was a bit of a risk to only put it into play so late into the season. Part of me wishes we had a whole season dealing with it — in some ways, it feels like Dean’s real storyline of the season was dropped on us out of nowhere in January — or, even dealt with more immediately versus having ‘filler’ episodes. But the pacing has felt a little off the entire season.”


“The Mark of Cain story arc was the most compelling, and the few episodes that focused mostly on it were stellar (the Cain episode, the one where Dean first touches the blade and kills Magnus, for example),” Lynn said. “But too often the Mark of Cain story got lost among all the other story lines that were running simultaneously. The angel war, which I stopped caring about a long time ago, kept interrupting the story arcs that I wanted to see, which disrupted the pacing of both individual episodes and the season as a whole. Instead of listening to Metatron monologue, we could have had the Mark of Cain story play out gradually, building the tension. Sam’s demon blood addiction, for example, was played out more gradually and thus we felt like we understood both Sam and Dean’s reactions to it better. The impact of undertaking the trials on Sam was also played out that way, so that we became increasingly concerned as Dean did. The Mark of Cain story, in contrast, we only saw in snippets here and there – and we never saw much of Sam’s POV on it, so we had no clue what he was thinking. Why was he not more concerned about his brother and the Mark? Why was he still having oddly flat conversations with Cas like ‘gee, I think maybe the Mark is changing Dean’, when it was almost the end of the season? I value the character of Sam for his smarts, but he seemed oddly clueless and unconcerned when it came to his brother wearing the Mark of bloody Cain!”


Tina admitted. “The addiction element has been dealt with before. Jared did a great job with it in the demon blood arc. And Jensen has been amazing with the Mark of Cain. But they are two different actors so while many of the touches were similar it didn’t feel like the same story. I wish they had had the time to have Sam really tell Dean how he feels his pain. And talk about what he went through in season four. And that they could work together to figure it out. Unfortunately a little bit of that came at the end of the finale when Dean was already dying.” Lynn went on to say that “I saw it as an intentional mirror of Sam’s season 4 storyline, yes. In Season 4, Sam was vulnerable after Dean’s death and descent to hell, in unbearable pain and unable to deal with overwhelming loss, in the same way that Dean was vulnerable and in pain in Season 9. Sam blamed himself for Dean’s death, since it was a result of Dean’s deal to save him, so he had that same self loathing that made him not care what happened to him, and that same laser focus on revenge (killing Lilith) that gave him a reason to live. Sam didn’t care how he did it, just as Dean didn’t in S9. And Jared played Sam’s demon blood craving as an addiction just as Jensen did with the blade. S4 Ruby = S9 Crowley, able to manipulate a Winchester because they were so compromised and desperate and uncaring of the consequences. And in both seasons, the addicted brother alienates and hurts the other, just as so often happens in real life addiction scenarios. Both those seasons ended with Winchester “failure”, with the message that the addiction and the lust for revenge are not what actually saves the day. But both also ended with the Winchesters aligned once again, clinging to each other.”

“Interestingly, the show has always set it up that Dean handles the elements that deal with heaven more closely, while Sam handles those that deal with hell,” Danielle pointed out. “It makes sense since Sam was the one who had demon blood in him and the one who opened the Devil’s Gate. Sam was supposed to undergo the trials and close the gates of hell forever, while Dean was raised out of hell by an angel, supposed to say yes to Michael, and here, took on the Mark of Cain. Sam has his curse, and Dean has his. It’s balanced, even if ultimately those two sides are supposed to be at odds with each other. Maybe we’ll get back to that someday, maybe we won’t. But watching Mark of Cain Dean change because of the power surging inside him be reminiscent of Sam’s experience with the demon blood made sense because of that parallel. It seemed intentional, even if a little bit on the nose.”
Laura pointed out that each brother, while traveling a similar path, did so for different reasons: “While there were obvious similarities between Sam’s demon blood addiction in Season 4 and Dean’s bloodlust brought about by the Mark, I didn’t find Dean’s storyline repetitive or overly familiar. Both decisions were arguably brought on by the trauma of loss, but while Sam and Dean were both mislead into pursuing power by a couple of manipulative demons, Sam’s addiction was driven by pride, while Dean’s was driven by insecurity – and those opposing motivations made for very different consequences that were equally fascinating to watch.” Meanwhile, Vinnie pointed out a big difference between Dean and Sam’s storylines, and it’s one that also speaks to the lack of focus in the season as a whole and continues on the path of Laura’s thinking: “I will say that while I understood why Dean took on the Mark of Cain, both emotionally and as a means to an end, what I don’t understand is what happened after that. Dean’s initial intent was to destroy Gadreel, then a handful of episodes later Gadreel ceased to be a priority because Dean became obsessed with taking down Abaddon, then it felt like midway through taking out Abaddon he was already fixating on Metatron with Gadreel being almost literally a mere fly to sway away. So while Dean’s current story mirrors Sam’s mytharc during season 4, it takes away the fundamental aspect of what made that Sam chilling: focus. On the surface Dean seemed focused, but really he was homicidally fickle.”
The big question now is ‘what happens next?’ One danger, as Danielle said, is “it certainly seems like season 10 is being set up as yet another parallel story with Soulless Sam and now whatever Dean will be. I hope parallel is still the right word come Fall 2014, but in all honesty, it might just be ‘repeat’.” The other danger is Mike rightly hoping “let’s just hope they don’t drag out the reveal [of Dean being a demon] forever, like they did with Dean telling Sam about ‘Zeke’ possessing him.”
It appears there’s a lot of cautious optimism on where this particular story could go. While there’s definitely big missteps that could occur with repetition and endless delay in revealing plot points, there’s also curiosity as to how Dean being a demon will impact his own character (particularly since my biggest fear is that it will throw Dean into an endless period of self-hatred), how (and when) the storyline will be resolved, and how it will impact the brothers’ relationship. Perhaps the resolution of this storyline — particularly if Sam is able to essentially “save” Dean — will be the final piece of the puzzle, bringing us full circle from Sam not saving Dean from Purgatory at the beginning of season 8 and finally allowing the two to work out their differences and emerge stronger for it.

Season 9 as a Whole: Poor Pacing and Too Many Storylines, Season 9 did not have a plan

The relationship was different and Dean didn’t trust Crowley like Sam trusted Ruby. In a way, Dean used Crowley just as much as Crowley used Dean. It was often a mutual extortion.”

I think the point was for Crowley’s addiction to parallel Dean’s addiction – one was to being more human, one to being less. 

think we’ll see an interesting relationship develop between Crowley and Dean in season 10. Crowley wants Dean as his Knight of Hell, sure, but I also think that Crowley has a soft spot for Dean. He wants a companion, someone who can ‘howl at the moon’ with him. He wants a buddy for that buddy comedy road trip he keeps talking about. Crowley was downright emotional about Dean’s transformation, like it was so important to him that he was afraid to hope for it.” Nikki also pointed out that “I wouldn’t go so far as to call Crowley Dean’s Ruby. The relationship was different and Dean didn’t trust Crowley like Sam trusted Ruby. In a way, Dean used Crowley just as much as Crowley used Dean. It was often a mutual extortion.”

see more actual communication from the boys next season 

why it's apparently impossible to service both Winchesters with plot and emotional growth simultaneously 

the writers figure out the magical formula to balance the brothers

it's been for Dean to finally drive the plot instead of simply serving as an emotional echo chamber

X men: Days of Future Past 變種特攻:未來同盟戰

明星眾多, 但不會為了平均戲份, 而胡亂加戲, 做到了演員去配合故事, 而不是故事為明星服務. 動作場面不算多, 但故事舖排井然有序, 游走過去將來, 亦不會覺得混亂堆砌. 主題清晰, 反戰意味濃厚 !! 戲份集中在Charles, Erik, Raven及另一位教授身上, Wolverine出鏡多, 然而只屬於輔助故事發展, 不算突出. 我最喜歡兩場是Charles Vs Charles, 在飛機上Charles Vs Magneto , 好有張力!


喜歡動作刺激場面的FANS, 這部未必符合期望, 但對於我這個喜歡多點故事性的觀眾, 我喜歡這部X MEN.

Supernatural season 9 season final

上星期CW Upfront, Jensen , Jared, Misha劇透.
Misha: "disturbing", Jensen"驚訝", Jared: brotherly love. Fans不斷揣測結局, 他們好有創意亦好期待, 我都好期待. 結局是....有些FANS猜中了, 亦有些FANS的創意比編劇更好.


"死亡"在SPN習以為常, 每季兩兄弟總要死一個. 今季輪到Dean, 亦是FANS預料得到.如果沒有看三位主角的劇透, 我估FANS 最多只會猜Dean殺Sam, 或是Sam殺Dean. 我不相信很多FANS會估到Dean 變成Demon. 這就是Jensen " Oh my god " 的原因.  



今集故事明顯拖沓, Metatron說話過多, 戲份太重, 但沒趣味. 相比起來, Crowley無論表情及說話, 更帶喜感. Dean變成Demon, 若然跟Crowley合作, 會帶來更多歡樂, Dean跟 Crowley一起的場面擦出不少火花. Sam, Castiel Vs Dean, Crowley令故事有更多發展空間, 因此我很期待第十季. 見到FANS不滿Dean轉變成Demon, 摧毀了SPN原有精神. 我認為SPN如果不作出這樣轉變, 真的沒路可走了. SPN凡事皆有可能, Dean是demon反而令故事不用再重複, 為故事帶來新方向. 首先, Dean究竟轉變了多少, 剩餘了多少人性? Sam, Dean關係會如何改變? Sam, Cass會否醫治Dean?  Dean會否繼續hunting? Crowley會否利用Dean剷除異己, 管理地獄, 甚至Mark of Cain 令Dean 變得powerful, 跟Crowley爭做地獄之王. SPN的故事變數更多.


今集我最喜歡當然是Dean, Sam兄弟情.Dean
正如大家所料, 寧願死, 也不要當殺人機器
"It's better this way. The mark is making me into something I don't want to be.”這是令我傷感的, Dean一生saving people, hunting things 犧牲了這麼多, 最後變成了demon, 對Dean而言, 是殘忍的. How can he live with that! 他如何面對自己呢? 他可以接受這樣的自己? 或是Mark of Cain令重生的他, 已經不在乎自己是什麼呢?



而我本人, 覺得Dean對Sam的遺言:"I'm proud of us.", 真的催淚. 想到這是Dean作為人類最後的一句話了, 往後他是demon, 沒什麼可以proud of, 還有從來都是自卑的Dean, 終於肯定了自己所做的事情.

The Mentalist S6, season final

對我而言, 沒有什麼驚喜, 因為製作人Bruno叔很早已表明今季結尾是"愛情故事". 而且當時CBS沒有公佈The Mentalist續訂消息, Bruno叔就滿足一班jisbon shippers, 來一個happy ending. 本身不是shippers, Jane, Lisbon能否在一起, 不太在意. 我只是為了Simon, Robin的演出而感動, 他們的交流及演出, 實在令人動容. Jane的角色, 愛以嬉皮笑臉來俺飾真實感情, 要向Lisbon表白, 那種帶點困窘, 迫切吐露真情的表演, Simon演出到位, 而Robin喜極而泣的表情, 真的像等愛的女人, 等待了漫長歲月, 終於等到深愛男人向自己表白. 還有, 在blue bird hotel那"老套"橋段, 但Simon, Robin令人心痛的演出, 又再令觀眾忽視了. 橋唔怕舊, 最緊要演員功力厚 !!


第一至第六季, 正如CHO 所說, 我覺得Jane, Lisbon似是兄妹多一點. 六季以來, Jane愛跟Lisbon開玩笑, 但沒有什麼曖昧舖排. 事實Jane忙於捉RED JOHN, 那有心情談戀愛.而這麼多季, Jane嘗試跟Christina Fryer約會, 亦對Erica感興趣, 還有Lorelei....看得到, 他對她們, 跟Lisbon有點不同, 她們亦不是Lisbon那類型. 6X08捉完RED JOHN之後, JANE 跟LISBON 好似兩年沒有見了,  最後數集才急速加入PIKE, 來成就 Jane, Lisbon的愛情故事. 只可以說, 我投入不到這種節奏的愛情故事.


觀眾普遍都期望劇集男女主角談戀愛, 特別是警匪片, 男女雙方出生入死, 互相支持, 很多美劇警匪片, 愛走這種模式, 吸引很多shippers, 網上熱鬧討論, 增加劇集迴響, 甚至拉高收視. Bruno這樣安排無可厚非. 反正這也不是硬逼出來的一對. Lisbon是Jane最信任的人. 記得第三季, Erica Flynn那集, Jane說擇偶條件, 其實Lisbon是符合的, 知道Jane的過去及缺點, 又可以包容Jane, Lisbon完全做得到. 坦白說, 如果Jane要找另一半, Lisbon真的最適合他. 不僅是愛情問題, 而是一位可以跟自己走到老的終身伴侶. Lisbon可以容忍, 包庇Jane這麼久, 必定含有愛的成份.



看了六季, 我最喜歡的Cliffhanger就是Season 3, Jane殺了假Red John. The Mentalist最好看是Simon Baker的演技.

Arrow 第二季Season Final

睇CW " Arrow", 我不期望有什麼大場面及特技, 打得不錯, 已經收貨. 投資有限麻! 不過, 我喜歡Arrow 文戲的舖排. 今個Season Final, 跟第一季一樣, 喪鐘故事完整完結, 不用為cliffhanger等待數月. 只是最尾, 帶出第三季會有關於Oliver跟Amanda認識的經過. 今集, 我覺得喪鐘跟OLIVER五年前後的對打對照, 拳拳肉搏, 很不錯. 而Oliver "unthinkable"的計劃, 雖然令很多Olicity粉失望, 但這點子不錯, 不用殺死喪鐘, made Oliver become a hero not a killer. IDEA不算特別, 但絕對符合我期望. 還有在沙灘上, Felicity講到幾乎信而為真, 而Oliver: We both did, 簡單地打完場, 為粉絲留下了希望. 今集讓我們知道第三季, Roy會是紅箭, Diggle當爸爸, Thea會黑化.

Supernatural 9x22

首先, 我上網查了reaper定義, 原來都有angel of death 的意思, 所以Dean說 "I like you ,Tessa. For an angel", 是可以說得通. 可惜的是,  回顧 2x01, 4x15, Dean跟Tessa的關係是良好的, 今回Tessa卻要死在Dean的刀下, 有點殘忍吧! 故事真的瞎扯, 而Dean, Cass友誼絕對是今集最大亮點. 粉Destiel必定愛看.儘管Dean不大信任Cass, Cass仍然為了Dean, 放棄所有angels. Dean, Cass友情比Dean, Sam兄弟相處更好看. JC 帶領下的SPN, 劇情亦只是一般, 今季除了mark of cain, 沒有什麼吸引力了. Dean, Sam 的關係歷來最差, 編劇忘了,SPN 原本最吸引人, 就是兄弟情, 今季蕩然無存. 猶幸編劇沒有放棄Cass, 保持了Team Free Will .



"We are not a Team , This is a dictatorship", Dean 還是首次如此對Sam發施號令. 對那女醫生angel : "Honey, there ain't no other men like me! " 這兩句都好狠. 然而感覺上, Dean真的是比較燥及嗜殺, 但看他跟Tessa, Cass, Sam相處, 他的人性依然存在.
