Supernatural : General Discussion/Appreciation (Spoiler Tags req for S15)

[JessM]

I agree Has anyone heard any news about the talks yesterday evening? I was listening to the radio on my way home from work yesterday and it sounded like both sides wanted to reach an agreement. I'm not all that optimistic though.

[OobeDoobBenubi]

There is rumor that the strike will end early December &

Oh, that would be great if it was true. Maybe we wouldn't end up losing too many episodes then. Crossing my fingers that there is some truth to it!

And the dancing Sam and Dean elves are cute Heehee

[twinchaosblade]

I also keep everything crossed that allowes crossing to get maybe even the complete third season as it was supposed to be. So I'm cautiously optimistic about the negociations.

[JessM]

I was at another SPN forum just before... someone mentioned Kripke being quite confident that an agreement would be reached and that they may still get a full season out of it (or maybe only lose one episode). Here's hoping.

That would make me so happy if that turns out to be the case. My fingers are definitely crossed.

Same here. Apparently there's a bit of a media blackout as far as the talks are going. Only precious little snippets seem to be coming to light. I hope we do hear something more soon.

That makes sense, actually. I would guess that extensive media coverage wouldn't really help with the negociations, especially since the media will certainly be interested/concerned with the result.

Just a reminder Folks that while the writer's strike is very pertinent the TOPIC of this thread is the show itself.

There are threads discussing the writer's strike over in Both General Discussion AND in the News Folder

What I'm most interested in from here on in, is what direction Kripke and company decide to take Sam. His storyline regarding his resurrection really intrigues me. And, of course, what lies ahead for Dean.

[twinchaosblade]

I would guess...

Spoiler:

that we will see "the downfall" of Sam during the rest of the season, that YED was right about Sammy turning towards evil but not out of choice, rather out of necessity to prevent something even worse, like Dean dying. That we'll see him cross the line too often, even though his motivations to do so are good and noble.
I would compare this perhaps with The Lord of the Rings

Spoiler:

in which Boromir is determined to do good with the powerful master ring of Sauron,

but still his fine intentions are corrupted because of the evil that inherits the means he has to use to achieve what he wants. And that eventually aids in making him what he has always feared to become.

And I guess that one day this will lead to a devastating confrontation between the brothers when Dean finally can't shut his eyes against the reality any more that his brother has gone too far, that Dean will finally be able to see what Sam denies to admit to himself because he finds an excuse for every single slip. But then, out of that confrontation, I think Sam at last gets the point home and starts fighting for his humanity, desperately trying to prove YED wrong.

Apologies if I seem rather dim here but can you post a link to one of these threads? I tried to find them in the News area (I'm guessing you mean Stargate news since I couldn't find a general News thread) and in General Discussion, but I couldn't find them.

Also did a search and nothing pertinent turned up. I must be doing something wrong...

Writers strike affecting Season 4?

Strike-o-rama

WGA Writers Strike!

[JessM]

Thanks for posting these. I don't know how I missed them the first time. Looks like there's not a whole lot of news, but then again I guess they don't know anymore about it than I do...

And now back to SPN (sorry for that little tangent there )...

I would guess...

Very interesting points...

Spoiler:

I don't think I'd ever see Sam turning evil out of choice... it seems to be almost out of desperation, in this case to save Dean. I could see all of that starting to bother Dean, but he tries to turn a blind eye to it until he finally can't any longer...and that would probably lead to a confrontation between them.

I would love to see Sam start fighting for his humanity and prove YED wrong.

Yep, I'm really hoping something positive comes out of Monday's talks, too.

In the meantime, I have some artwork to share. I've always done Stargate artwork and now I've started branching out into Supernatural I've made a wallpaper and some icons. They're all for #3.03 Bad Day at Black Rock, so I put them under spoiler tags.

Hope you like.
