Whoa, such a sausage fest on those options, way to go.
From those, Gabriel is a no-brainer. I have really missed him.
But I really want Anna back, she was always such a fascinating character and I felt her arc was too short. Besides, with the angels back on business, It could be part of a bigger arc.
Bela as a demon is something I've always wanted!
And of course, Ruby, she was a lot of manipulative fun.
OH Wow, this was hard. I want them all back except for Adam. Would have liked to see Alastair on the list. I voted for Benny and would LOVE a spin off of Benny and Castiel.
I loved Bela and would love to see her back, but Lauren Cohan's on The Walking Dead now so probably wouldn't be available, even if they wanted to bring her back.
Got to be Trickster/Loki/Gabriel for me! Love the character but love the episodes he's in and the meta-ness he inspired even more! Benny's second for me. Really enjoyed the tone of that character.
In truth, none of the above because most of these characters are dead, or supposed to be locked away in a cage. I'd like to see the show move forward, not keep relaying its greatest hits.
But actually I wouldn't mind seeing Balthazar again. I think there could be a strong case made that he saw Cas' attack coming and faked his death.
Even though I would have picked none of the above if that had been an option, I voted for John with mixed feelings. I imagine the John we'd get now would be very different from the one in season one.
I am of the secondary characters that die should stay dead thinking. Therefore as much as I love Bobby and Gabriel, every time someone comes back from the grave they cheapen death a little more of this show. Let the dead stay dead. Therefore I am going to twist this poll around and pretend that the Michael being talked about is the kid in Something Wicked, not the archangel. He and Death get my vote although I would be good with having AlphaVamp back if only to fulfill last year's promise.
If she hadn't died, I would go for Bela too. I didn't mind her. In season 4 I was wishing Bela came back instead of Ruby, whom I disliked since the moment she walked out of the tree.
If the show hadn't cheapened the whole notion of death as much as it has I would agree with you. But if they insist on killing the boys so often and not keeping them dead, then all bets are off (the first time for each was maybe okay -and I would actually challenge Dean's because of Mystery Spot). Dying is past the point of being a big deal on SPN so I don't care. If I can get a favourite character back, then I'll take it.
This is a tough poll. Bobby is always welcome, I've been waiting for John to return since Season 2 finale, Gabriel/Trickster is always welcome, and Death just commands your attention with his presence so he'd be cool to have back too.
And someone mentioned Missouri, from way back in season one, above. Every so often, i remember her and wish she'd come back, but isn't she on some other show now?
Too many. Off the list: Bobby, Adam (just to get him out of Hell or know he got out somehow- even if it only was to return to Heaven), John, Death, and the Alpha Vampire.
I miss Gabriel and others too though. I think it would be cool if there was another afterlife - not Heaven, Hell, or Purgatory, but some other place that held dead angels and demons. It would be interesting and allow visits to many dead characters without bringing everyone back to life (death needs more meaning on this show).
As much as I love bobby and death, my vote has to go to the trickster. Every episode he's in has always been amazing and he's just such a great character.
Yes! I never actually thought of Balthy's death that way. not to mention we never did see his wings as with other angels like Gabriel or Anna. I'd love to see him come back
He was a slippery one and Cas wasn't being very stealthy. plus, there's precedence. When we first met him we learned he had previously faked his death. His humor would be welcome about now.
I voted for The Trickster/Gabriel; my first choice is Bobby but I think the show will bring him back if there is some feasible way to bust him out and the same goes for Benny. The Trickster is a longer shot because either "God" would need to resurrect Gabriel or the "Real Trickster" (played by Richard Speight, of course) would be found alive.
Much as I'd like Bobby back, his character is supposedly at peace and Jim Beaver is very busy, my first choice is the undeniably cool Death.... especially with the current storyline, I'm sure Death has an opinion on both the gates of Hell getting closed and Naomi's machinations in Heaven.
Oh, I know how you feel! I loved her! She could've been something if the writers knew how to use her in the episodes right. They had to dumb down the Winchesters instead of writing her as being clever. Irritated me, but Lauren/Bela was fun.
From this list, I choose Death. I always love the way he verbally bitchslaps Dean. Makes me LOL. And he's pimp. I second the Bela choice. If only they could unscrew up what they did to Ava and bring her back. I was a hardcore Ava/Sam shipper. God, I was throwing things at the end of season two's finale. Bastards.
I liked the Ghostfacers too. I wouldn't want to see a whole episode around them again, but I did love that little moment where Sam found them giving hunting advice on a website.
I wish they had never killed Bobby, I really, really do. I kind of hate that they are trying to make Garth the new Bobby. and I really like the character. But, he isn't a genius and the guy taking Bobby's place should have more than good intentions. However, since they did kill Bobby, I don't want them to "bring him back". He can do another cameo or flash back.... but it wouldn't feel right really getting him back.
Two of the deaths that I just hated that I think could be reversed without totally breaking canon are the Trickster and Balthazar. Balthazar faked his death before, and so did the Trickster. The Trickster could have just been trying to stall Lucifer long enough for the boys to get away. Then, he wanted to stay out of the way because he provided the Winchesters the information that could help. So, now he is back in witness protection. Same thing with Balthazar. I really hate that these "eternal" beings gave up their life to help the Winchesters.
That's a hard choice, there are a lot of characters I like on that list. I would like Balthazar back most of all, but from the list I went with The Trickster.
The only ep that is lower on my list than the Ghostfacers is Bitten. I stopped watching Psych for the very reason I don't like GF, because I can not stand grown men than act like 12 year olds. ;)
^^; I don't really know...he just never stood out to me as a character. I never hated him or whatever, I just never really cared too much if he lived or died or don't really care about seeing him back. I found it hard to get close to someone everybody call ''Sir! yes Sir'' every time. I get it that he tried his best to raise his sons and needed to prepare them/train them (Adam died cause he wasn't prepare), but don't think it would've kill him to show some affection at some point in his life. I never found the ''it's not my fault, its cause my wife died and I'm so devastated and I need revenge'' a reason to justify everything and feel bad for him/want to hug him or whatever. But like I said, I never hated him, just didn't care about his fate.
I liked John, maybe because I LOVE JDM, but I know just what you mean, this is the way I felt about everyone in Secret Circle..just could not get attached to any of them.
I done this quite a while ago if I saw meg died earlier I would of put her in. I forgot Bella but I love Ellen and Jo but they should not come back it would be too original. I still hope ya'll enjoy after all death or the vampire is .more likely to come back I was just thinking logically ;)
I think your argument doesn't really hold up, because then there's a bit of a double standard if you're excluding Ellen and Jo, but you are including Trickster!Gabriel and Bobby and John.
And there were various other female options, Pamela too for example... Rachel... Atropos... the lack of women on the poll is quite glaring and there is no real way around that IMO.
I've compensated by creating another poll with females. I haven't wiped them out of my mind I simply forgot to put them in, and I didn't add all of the male characters either so I would think you can see my point, it was a disorganised move.
You didn't add all the male characters, but in a pool of characters you ONLY chose males.
When that was pointed out your argument was that the two more popular choices were too obvious, but then again you had no problem including the most obvious male options in the poll.
Compensating with a poll just for women doesn't change the fact that, as disorganised as you may or may not have been, when you sought out to make a generic poll you diss-included women.
Well let's discourage anyone else from making a poll. The only thing that should have been added was an other, for people that were not happy with the ones listed.
Discourage? Hardly not. How about making people more considerate of what they should be aware of when making polls? And I don't think SPN will have any problems from getting polls on the USD POLL roster because of this. It would be nice however to see the polls submitted be a little less prejudiced....
I would have said John [JDM] before they made a habit of assaulting their own canon. So now I say Death because I figure they can't screw that guy up too much.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
Of course Trickster! I miss Gabriel so much ;(
ReplyDeleteAdam. I'd even settle for someone on the show to even mention in passing that they have a brother still in lucifers cage.
ReplyDeletenot the most popular choice: Bela
ReplyDeleteWhoa, such a sausage fest on those options, way to go.
ReplyDeleteFrom those, Gabriel is a no-brainer. I have really missed him.
But I really want Anna back, she was always such a fascinating character and I felt her arc was too short. Besides, with the angels back on business, It could be part of a bigger arc.

And of course, Ruby, she was a lot of manipulative fun.
Ruby and Meg.
ReplyDeleteOH Wow, this was hard. I want them all back except for Adam. Would have liked to see Alastair on the list. I voted for Benny and would LOVE a spin off of Benny and Castiel.
ReplyDeleteAfter Cas, Anna was my favorite Angel.
ReplyDeleteTrickster!!! and Death, also Jo and Bela!
ReplyDeleteBela, Joe, Bobby...
ReplyDeleteJo!!! Bobby and John...
ReplyDeleteGabriel/Trickster...
ReplyDeleteFrom this list, Trickster/Gabriel.
ReplyDeleteI loved Bela and would love to see her back, but Lauren Cohan's on The Walking Dead now so probably wouldn't be available, even if they wanted to bring her back.
ReplyDeleteJo, Alastair, and either Ruby or Amy
ReplyDeleteBobby! But my favourite to return would be Lisa and Ben, I miss them sooo much :(
ReplyDeleteI would have voted for her! Loved Lauren Cohan!
ReplyDeleteThis _is_ rather a sausage fest! So favorite women I'd like to see back? Sheriff Mills, Bela, Meg, Jo, and Anna!
ReplyDeleteMissouri Mosley aka Lorette Devine. So much unused potential
ReplyDeleteGot to be Trickster/Loki/Gabriel for me! Love the character but love the episodes he's in and the meta-ness he inspired even more! Benny's second for me. Really enjoyed the tone of that character.
ReplyDeleteWell for me its a tough choice between Gabriel and Death, but either one ofr them will do for me XD
ReplyDeleteWell I went for the Trickster/Gabriel but other than that I want JO <3
ReplyDeleteJo and Jody are my 2 favorite human females.
ReplyDeleteThese are all great, but John would have to be my first choice. I would love to know what he would think of everything that has happened.
ReplyDeleteAzazel. And Jo and Ellen.
ReplyDeleteIn truth, none of the above because most of these characters are dead, or supposed to be locked away in a cage. I'd like to see the show move forward, not keep relaying its greatest hits.
ReplyDeleteBut actually I wouldn't mind seeing Balthazar again. I think there could be a strong case made that he saw Cas' attack coming and faked his death.
Even though I would have picked none of the above if that had been an option, I voted for John with mixed feelings. I imagine the John we'd get now would be very different from the one in season one.
ReplyDeleteBobby ofc and Lucifer,Michael Pellegrino portrays him brilliantly IMO.
ReplyDeleteDeath! Yes! We need more Death!
ReplyDeleteI am of the secondary characters that die should stay dead thinking. Therefore as much as I love Bobby and Gabriel, every time someone comes back from the grave they cheapen death a little more of this show. Let the dead stay dead.

ReplyDeleteJo and Bobby.
ReplyDeleteGabriel, Jo, Ellen, Balthazar, Bobby, Benny
ReplyDeleteBasically I just want a lot of people to come back...
Oh look, they're all dudes. What a surprise.
ReplyDeleteANNA MILTON please and thank you.
I'm still holding hope she'll show up again eventually. It might be in vain, but that she's not dead is rather comforting.
ReplyDeleteIf the show hadn't cheapened the whole notion of death as much as it has I would agree with you. But if they insist on killing the boys so often and not keeping them dead, then all bets are off (the first time for each was maybe okay -and I would actually challenge Dean's because of Mystery Spot).

Voted for Trickster, but would really love to see Balthazar again!

ReplyDeleteI would like to see Bobby, Bela Talbot, Meg, Death, Lucifer, John, Gabriel and Benny back! :)
ReplyDeleteShe was on Grey's Anatomy, but I don't think she is anymore, but she has been doing well in movies, which really ups the cost of getting her back...
ReplyDeleteTrickster definitely!!
ReplyDeleteAnd then John and Bobby, but I still hope to see Gabriel coming back!
I loved Bela!!!
ReplyDeleteToo many. Off the list: Bobby, Adam (just to get him out of Hell or know he got out somehow- even if it only was to return to Heaven), John, Death, and the Alpha Vampire.
ReplyDeleteI miss Gabriel and others too though. I think it would be cool if there was another afterlife - not Heaven, Hell, or Purgatory, but some other place that held dead angels and demons. It would be interesting and allow visits to many dead characters without bringing everyone back to life (death needs more meaning on this show).
There's a lot of guys on the show, so the list reflects that.
ReplyDeleteI see it the same way and keep hoping and hoping and hoping
ReplyDeleteBobby and Benny :)
ReplyDeleteNever been a fan of John
As much as I love bobby and death, my vote has to go to the trickster. Every episode he's in has always been amazing and he's just such a great character.
ReplyDeleteI want balthazar back and john bc i want to see more flashbacks about the winchesters childhood and so on. With JEOFFREY DEAN MORGAN. :'(
ReplyDeletewhat a surprise, no female characters on this poll.. *rolls eyes*
ReplyDeleteBELA FTW
Sheriff Mills!!
ReplyDeleteand the comments reflect a lot of popular female characters!
ReplyDeleteFrank Deveraux/Donald Stark/Maggie Stark/Ghostfacers
ReplyDeletealso Ash!
ReplyDeleteYes! I never actually thought of Balthy's death that way. not to mention we never did see his wings as with other angels like Gabriel or Anna. I'd love to see him come back
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see all of these come back. But I voted for Trickster. I miss him alot and there is so much potential in that.
ReplyDeleteBut I'd love to see Ellen and Jo, or even Bela come back, maybe as a demon. That would make a nice twist.
He was a slippery one and Cas wasn't being very stealthy. plus, there's precedence. When we first met him we learned he had previously faked his death. His humor would be welcome about now.
ReplyDeleteYou're kidding, right? This is like a list of the worst characters on the show.
ReplyDeleteI voted for The Trickster/Gabriel; my first choice is Bobby but I think the show will bring him back if there is some feasible way to bust him out and the same goes for Benny. The Trickster is a longer shot because either "God" would need to resurrect Gabriel or the "Real Trickster" (played by Richard Speight, of course) would be found alive.

ReplyDeleteJodi Mills is coming back in the finale (8.23).Yay!!! Let's hope the she doesn't die and can be brought back for future appearances.
ReplyDeleteOh, I know how you feel! I loved her! She could've been something if the writers knew how to use her in the episodes right. They had to dumb down the Winchesters instead of writing her as being clever. Irritated me, but Lauren/Bela was fun.
ReplyDeleteRight on. Never did like Ruby. With either actress playing her.
ReplyDeleteFrom this list, I choose Death. I always love the way he verbally bitchslaps Dean. Makes me LOL. And he's pimp. I second the Bela choice. If only they could unscrew up what they did to Ava and bring her back. I was a hardcore Ava/Sam shipper. God, I was throwing things at the end of season two's finale. Bastards.
ReplyDeleteAlastair as played by Christopher Heyerdahl? YES.
ReplyDeleteI was about to say the same thing!
ReplyDeleteI liked the Ghostfacers too. I wouldn't want to see a whole episode around them again, but I did love that little moment where Sam found them giving hunting advice on a website.
ReplyDeleteDammit. No female options.

ReplyDeleteLOL, I don't even think about any of the other ones, only Chris.
ReplyDeleteBalthazar!!! Jo!!! Gabriel!!!
ReplyDeleteJohn but senior not junior. John all sweet is nice but my preferred John is JDM the rough tough wounded warrior.
ReplyDeleteOh I agree, I do love the older rougher John, that gave his life for his son. Huge fan of JDM.
ReplyDeleteJo, Bobby, God, Adam, Death, Gabriel, Balthazar, John and Michael. In that order.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't you like John? I'm curious because I never liked him either and caught shit for it constantly.
ReplyDelete^^; I don't really know...he just never stood out to me as a character. I never hated him or whatever, I just never really cared too much if he lived or died or don't really care about seeing him back.

ReplyDeletebela or jo
ReplyDeleteBenny.
ReplyDeleteI liked John, maybe because I LOVE JDM, but I know just what you mean, this is the way I felt about everyone in Secret Circle..just could not get attached to any of them.
ReplyDeleteOur beloved Bobby!
ReplyDeleteI want to see THE amulet again. I know ,Dean threw it away ,but it would be very good.
ReplyDeleteAh I knew I forgot some one do'h!
ReplyDeleteThanks
ReplyDeleteI done this quite a while ago if I saw meg died earlier I would of put her in. I forgot Bella but I love Ellen and Jo but they should not come back it would be too original.

Why bring back Bobby when he was just on the show? Why not bring back the guy we haven't seen since the end of season 2?
ReplyDeleteMary Winchester!!!
ReplyDeleteI voted for Bobby, but really my choice would be Jo.
ReplyDeleteAll of them (plus Jo, Ellen, Pastor Jim and Caleb).... but I voted for Bobby... Cause you know... It's Bobby, and he's on the list.
ReplyDeleteExcellent choices....
ReplyDeletePreach on the lack of women options...
ReplyDeleteI would have said John [JDM] before they made a habit of assaulting their own canon. So now I say Death because I figure they can't screw that guy up too much.
ReplyDelete
