As promised, the blog you have been waiting for! Supernatural! "Love Bound"! Yep, that’s last week’s episode, which hey, this week’s episode already aired, but that blog will actually be on time! Promise! Guys, this cold though. I can’t tell you how awful this cough is.
 
So, You have Moose and Squirrel hunting for any info on Amara, only they can’t find any. Moose does find a story of a murdered baby sitter, with her heart torn out, on Valentine’s Day. Romantic? Baby, this whole episode is about love! Well, once they get there, and we see everything, it’s totally not a werewolf. While the boys were convinced it was a shifter, I was like ‘nah, it’s something else’. Because, come on, it has to be something else. The while thing about the dad being in love with the babysitter was kind of gross, especially with his wife knowing.
 
I loved the spin they put on it with the White Witch, or so she claimed to be. I was shocked to find it being a curse gone wrong. I mean, in the ‘that’s kind of original’ way. I loved how the curse went back to the wife who cast it in the first place. Look, magic is a dick and sometimes its going to screw you over. If this show has taught me anything it’s that magic will always find a way to beat you.
 
Seeing Dean’s true desire, also known as Amara, wasn’t a surprise at all. We all knew that was going to happen,. However, Dean admitting to Sam that he saw Amara, and that there is some weird pull thing between them, that was a really strange moment. The boys almost never open up to one another, let alone about actual stuff like that. Still, Dean did come clean, and Sam wasn’t at all shocked In true little brother fashion, Sammy was supportive in this ‘I’ll totally kill Amara for you’ way. Which, good for you Sam. Maybe the Winchesters are finally learning a thing or too.
 
Things missing from this episode included any snark from Crowley, because, seriously, where is our King of Hell? Casifer is also not around, which cannot be boding well, for literally, anyone. And Gabriel is still playing dead. Yes, playing. Because if Chuck is really god, he’s not going to let Gabriel stay dead forever, I outright refuse to believe that.  Even with these missing parts, this episode had that earlier seasons feel to it again. I’m really enjoying that. Yes, there is a ton we still need to resolve, but at the same time, it’s nice to just have a case to solve and then that’s it. The bigger plot lines are intermixed, of course, but our main focus is the single case. And also, nobody we love died, which makes it all that much better.

Guys, whatever sickness is going around, I caught it. It starts as a cold, and then just gets worse from there. Thankfully on day four of this evil thing, I’m finally well enough to get back to work on both fronts. I know it’s been a quiet few days on my end, so I’m sorry for that. I promise my Supernatural recap is coming tomorrow, which is way later than normal, but listen….this cold thing….it’s the devil.
 
Anyways, let’s talk about The Walking Dead. Yes, you got John’s epic blog of epic, but I’m here with my reactions, because, well, I can’t not talk about it. So, I started Walking Dead at my parents house and then later finished it at home. Downside to being called in early and then sick as a dog. But, I have to say this mid-season start was everything I wanted it to be and more, except for one thing, Glenn. Stop trying to kill my Glenn! Enough is enough! I get it, nobody is safe, but the constant death threats of my poor Glenn are really starting to get under my skin! Seriously! What is going on with that!? I don’t threaten to kill off your favorite characters! I don’t even know who I am yelling at. Knowing Glenn was saved by Abraham really did make everything better. And also, Maggie is saved! Yay Maggie!
 
Daryl will forever be a bad ass, seriously, he killed so many people and walkers with that RPG, he deserves a medal. Or cookies….in the very least some cookies. Daryl saving the day twice just goes to show he’s a fan favorite for a reason. Our badass took a knife to the back and still got rid of an entire motorcycle gang. How awesome is that? Still, at the end of the day, though, the threat of Negan is ever present. I will forever think of him as John Winchester, but my mom pointed out he was also Denny on Grey’s Anatomy. Yes, I’ve watched Grey’s Anatomy…..I stopped after they killed off my favorite character, who was not Denny, coincidentally.

Sam dying was, I suppose shocking, but who didn’t see that coming? I feel we all knew it was going to happen, we all just expected it sooner. Still, while the actor is adorable, Sam was dumb and he had to go. Jessie and Ron biting it in the process was just an added bonus. I’m sorry, that was so heartless, but seriously. Jessie was the enabler of that little brat, and Ron shot Carl, so he had to go. I’m still shocked at Carl losing his eye like that…for the love of everything that scared the crap out of me. I knew he wouldn’t die, but still….
 
Leaving Judith with Father Gabriel was risky. I would not do that. The guy has proven to be as shady as a shadow. He did step it up though, which was a long time coming. I have to say, the most shocking, aside from Carl Poppa being shot, was the Wolf. Say what you will, but even after being shot by Carol he tackled a Walker and saved her life. If that doesn’t redeem you, well, nothing can really redeem him. In the end, Morgan grew up and finally put him down. Which, come on Morgan, I get that life is important, but you have to know when to just kill the bad guys. Which happen to be people trying to kill you and your friends. Maybe Morgan finally got through to the Wolf, or maybe he had a thing for Denise… I don’t know.
 
And then, of course, the massive fight scene at the end where Rick and everyone take on those Walkers, that was pretty intense. Not to mention, needed to happen. So far, nobody else we love died, it was mostly just people standing their ground and murdering these evil monsters. Sam still has me angry though. Like, seriously kid? There’s a bunch of monsters and you’re just going to stand there and whine until they come eat you? You had it coming.

This season Supernatural has really been stepping out of its usual repertoire and giving us episodes that remind us of the earlier seasons. There has been a lot going on, especially with last week’s episode. Still, time is slowing a bit, and the show is pacing itself with episodes like the one that premiered Thursday.

Sam and Dean are respectively dealing with their own things. More so, Sam is finally coming to terms with what happened in the cage. The long awaited apology has finally happened! Sam finally acknowledged the elephant between the two of them. Sam admits his guilt for leaving Dean in purgatory and not looking for him….Dean has long since forgiven Sam. But, our little Moose has a tendency to hold on to things.
 
Especially when it comes to his big brother Dean. For once, our Winchesters talked about their feelings. Well, a bit. Sam opened up at some point and that was a nice change of pace. Otherwise the whole episode was filled with that classic feel. Hunting a Banshee in an old folks home while a few not important side characters got murdered violently. Lucifer is roaming the earth in Castiel’s body, which hosts a whole other bottle of issues. Like where is Cas? Is he okay? What made the little idiot decide to do that? Stupid baby in a trench coat. I need Gabriel to come and save them both! Or Chuck….
 
I loved the feel of the whole thing. This really was a lovely dose of nostalgia. Of course Sam and Dean save the day, well, actually it’s an old woman who saves the day. But watching her hit on Dean the entire episode was fantastic. And the deaf girl hitting on Sam was utterly adorable. Though, guys, Cas and Dean’s conversation? What even. I’m sitting there yelling at the TV the whole time, like what are you even doing Dean! I know he doesn’t know that Cas is really Lucifer, but come on! You can tell Cas is a bit off! He even tells Sam that he thinks something is up with Cas!
 
Okay, so Luci is plotting, Sam and Dean are actually getting along. And, well, Dean is of course holding his feelings in…Dean does seem to have a thing going on with Amara…..and I feel that’s going to end badly.
