  1. Ooh, I like this.


    I do not anticipate the meltdown from the Dean/Cas shippers, though. This isn't going to end well.

  2. Ain't that the truth.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Of course the shippers will say something just to be negative.

    ReplyDelete
  4. At last!!!Perhaps now the destiel shippers will stop with their extremeties??

    ReplyDelete
  5. Maybe they will, at some point, get back to whacking monsters.

  6. You're drinking the djinn juice my friend but keep hope alive. Keep hope alive.

    ReplyDelete
  7. W00t Castiel getting some...you go you studly angel you.

    ReplyDelete
  8. And the fandom explodes....which might be more entertaining than anything Jeremy Carver has show runnered so far.

    ReplyDelete
  9. He's not an angel anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  10. That word takes on a secondary connotation that they also need to stop with.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I guess I'll be skipping 9x03. I wish the writers would stop pushing love interests on us. They should know by now it doesn't work, considering how well all the other love interests worked out.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Keep playing to your strengths, Carver--pissing off fans.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I hope this poor actress has been warned about all the hate she is about to get...Hope they pay her extra for that.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Poor girl...this cannot possibly end well for that character.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Cue shippers denying the possibility that Castiel can be attracted to anyone other then Dean.

    sounds interesting and weird (not being a angel having human feelings and desires) but ultimately awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  17. The writers sure know what the fans want more than anything...another love interest. Because it's worked so well in the past.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Love interests never work on this show. They always fall flat.

    ReplyDelete
  19. The only good I could see coming out of that is if Cas were to sprout a second head. (Jimmy) Would LOVE to see what Crowley would have to say about that.

    ReplyDelete
  20. SHHHHHHHHHHHH! It's nappy time for the writers!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'm gonna miss her thorny beauty.

    ReplyDelete
  22. At least this will be interesting. Castiel hasn't had this kind of feelings before.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Everyone is complaining about Destiel shippers... Yet I don't see any Destiel shippers causing a fuss in these comments... I wish people would realize that not all fans who ship Destiel are crazy extremists. Yeah, I'm a little disappointed about this 'love interest', but I can still appreciate that Cas is getting his own, major storyline.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I wonder what had happened with Immanuel's (?!) wife all this time? Did Cass ever get back to her? O_O

    ReplyDelete
  25. Yeah, I am a Dean/Cas shipper and yeah I'm not happy with this news. That doesn't mean I'm going to be sending hate to anyone about it though.


    For the people that are happy about this, I'm really glad for you and I hope the show/episode will really please you.


    Just because I ship a male/male couple and want them to be together doesn't mean I'm a monster, but from some of the comments you see on this site sometimes, you would think that was the case. I know there are Destiel shippers that will overreact and be hateful about this news and I am just as saddened and upset by that as anyone else, but that doesn't mean that every shipper will act that way. And I personally think we have the right to be upset about this if we want to be, just as if it were some other spoiler that people didn't like then they'd have the right to be upset about that too.


    So go ahead, down-vote my comment and attack me for not being thrilled about this or being upset by it. I'll never stop believing I have a right to my opinion (as long as I'm respectful and polite and respect other people's opinions too) and I'm not going to disappear or stop providing my opinion just because other people don't agree with it.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Not sure how that's new, except for the fact we have the character and actress' names (and the episode she's appearing in)


    We already know Cass was getting some action and there was no way we would see some Dean-Cass sex scene and kisses and stuff. I think we heard somewhere too it would be with a new character anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Combat pay and self-exile from all social media, then she might get through the experience.

    ReplyDelete
  28. She's in the third room from the back in the Cave of Dropped Plot Points with no hope of escaping any time soon.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'm finding it extremely amusing that the D/C haters are hooting and hollering about shippers being mad while the shippers sound the sanest in the comments. Way to make yourselves look like a bunch of monkey asses guys.

    As for these spoilers, what's her role on the show again? A love interest? Is that now considered a function in a plot? Makes total sense in a show about monsters and the eternal war between heaven and hell. You need at least one inane character every season to keep one or more of the boys "interested" while the world falls apart around them. Once you have bored the audience long enough you can drop her in the pit of Forgotten WTF Characters where famous names such as Amelia, Lisa, Daphne, Cassie and Amelia Novak reside.

  30. Supernatural, the family business,

    Two brothers who journey across the US, hunt evil and and save lives, urban legends, gore, horror. Well that's all gone and we're left with Carver's pitiful efforts, gleeful canon-trashing plus his obsession with useless and badly written 'love affairs'.

    Poor Spn!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Maybe we could send in a team to rescue her. Poor forgotten soul. I'm sure Castiiel would want her freedom. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  32. wooohooo awsome love Shannon Lucio

    ReplyDelete
  33. which means the possible love interest in episode 7 is Dean's?

    ReplyDelete
  34. since a Cas love interest is unlikely to affect the over all plot of the season and only be charcter strudy related its actually easily shippable if you're not interested. I know I'll be fast forwaring.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Yay, good for Cas! Can't wait to meet her! :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. If you go to the original article at TV Line, all the Dean and Castiel shippers are having an absolutely insane meltdown. They are threatening to never watch the show again, and proclaiming Dean and Castiel's love for Dean. So no, the shippers are not all being sane. I for one, am looking forward to this new storyline. I enjoyed the actress on The O.C.

    And please don't use that romance doesn't belong on Supernatural excuse. If it was Dean and Castiel in a romantic relationship, you shippers would suddenly say it does belong. Calm down, and wait to see what actually happens in the episode.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Wait, the Destiel thing is real?!! Thought that was just a myth, kinda sad when you think about it. I know I am going to get down-voted for this but still! Not as sick as the Sam/Dean shippers out there!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I really don't like this.


    Look at every other love interest, they never end up good. I mean, just look at Amelia last season! They just bring them for cheap plot with no intention of actually developing them as characters and not really that much impact on the overall plot. And that really doesn't work for me outside dhows that are about dating.


    I'm still so pissed about Amelia, I liked her a lot, but at the end of the day it just feel all these women are replaceable and it just makes me so angry.


    Don't even get me started on Sarah Blake.


    I really want to think this is going to be a character with even a little of self agency, but... sigh.


    PS: I've always liked the idea of Castiel being more attracted to older women (Ohhh, Anna Torv would have been so amazing for me)

    ReplyDelete
  39. He's not saying that romance doesn't belong on the show, but any character that their ONLY function is to serve as a love interest has little chance to matter.


    Why haven't they introduced a female character that actually has impact in the plot AND is a love interest? Because then they wouldn't be so disposable.


    So when they define the character as "love interest" you know how it's going to be.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I was going to say not all shippers are like that cause I don't feel that way, but then I realized, tho I do like the idea of them, I wouldn't call myself a shipper; cause there are many other aspects of the show I prioritize.

    ReplyDelete
  41. That might be the waitress in episode 5. I'm still holding out hope that Nora *isn't* a love interest and maybe that start of an awesome friendship with Cas. She'll probably last longer if they don't tote her about as one.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Well,you can't expect two grown up,handsome men,3 now because Cas is human to be alone all the time.They ARE men and they have needs both emotional and physical.THEY ARE NOT PRIESTS and they need to get "Action" from time to time.It's absolutely expected and logical.

    ReplyDelete
  43. AMEN i am also a shipper of destiel, and i don't not like how everyone is assuming that all of the shippers are going to attack you and the writer for not making dean and cas together and allowing a girl to be his new love interested. i know some of you are not destiel or shippers fans doesn't mean all of people who do love it are going to attack or hate on you because of it so please don't assume things of us, make me very angry to be stereo-typed into this catagories of crazy fans,

    ReplyDelete
  44. Yeah . . . Megstiel would have been great!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Kiersten Hagins :-)24 September 2013 at 16:40

    Guys, maybe she's not actually a love interest for cas but maybe just the person hes supposed to have sex with. I mean there was an article about season 7 for dean having a love interest and it never happened so maybe this could just be his little one night stand partner! And yes i saw that website with the article about this and people are being way too dramatic about it and also the people are saying they wont watch the show anymore because Dean/Cas wont be together.... What a load of crap, thats the stupidest reason to not watch. What about all the other storylines?? I just hope this girl lives! I dont ship destiel as a romance couple, but i do think they are like brothers and best friends but never a romance couple. I will always watch spn but those people need to get there heads out of their asses and focus on waiting to see what the whole season brings us and not just getting upset because they dont like one little detail about not getting there precious dean/cas romance. Sorry if it sounded harsh its just most destiel shippers seriously piss me off, not all, but most. Can't wait to see what S9 has in store!

    ReplyDelete
  46. ''If you go to the original article at TV Line, all the Dean and Castiel shippers are having an absolutely insane meltdown.''

    ^^;; Wow....I seriously never believe there was people who were really thinking Dean would be Cass' love interest/person he'll have sex with this season. Some people are mixing fanfiction and reality again. It was kind of obvious they would never film kising and sex scenes between those 2

    ReplyDelete
  47. You should have seen the other thread. They're ignoring this one because it's actual news and not speculation...

    ReplyDelete
  48. I saw that too! "Dean said he loved Cas on the gag reel so it must be true."
    Okay . . . as someone else pointed out, if we're using the gag reels as evidence, then Sam and Dean are in love too.

    ReplyDelete
  49. As are Bobby and Cass for the looonnngggg repeating of ''Touch it? Touch IT!'' in the S6 gag reels ;)

    ReplyDelete
  50. im not botheredby the fact that dean and castiel didnt get it together (dean isnt gay) but what pisses me off is that they are changing the very thing that made me fall in love with castiel his awkwardness his innocence and his dorkyness .why cant they just keep him the way he is .

    ReplyDelete
  51. Talk about a huge dumbass idea with the ultimate silver lining. :)

    ReplyDelete
  52. Do they bottle that for home consumption now? I can't find it at my local watering hole. :)

    ReplyDelete
  53. Ha! Show runnered. :))

    ReplyDelete
  54. Is there a connecting tunnel to the MoL bunker? Or maybe a backdoor from Purgatory? That wouldn't be so hard to find, right?

    ReplyDelete
  55. Adds meaning to the term "All good things..." Huh? RIP Spn.

    ReplyDelete
  56. So sad, but I think you hit the nail on the head.


    The only thing I continue to watch for now are the brothers; the Winchester saga really tugged at my heartstrings, but the rest is a come down, I'm afraid. :(

    ReplyDelete
  57. I think Cas should let her be right now. After all, Sarah was in the Cave of Dropped Plot Points before Carver sent his team of assassins after her. She saw the light of day and immediately croaked.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Apparently Purgatory is littered with plot holes so she could fall right through if she's really unlucky. I still maintain she's better off forgotten than brought back at this time. She'll last longer.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I had to come up with a new word since I've now run emoangsty into the ground. Kind of like Carver has done with the show.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Djinn juice - it's for times when the Kool-Aid just isn't enough. Therefore it's only available in that nebulous world where the lines between life and TV blur.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Not to mention some- not all- Destiel fans have spamming JMichael's/AGlass/RThompson and other writers Twitter accounts angry at this spoiler and their Dean/Cas OTP stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Yeah, (/sarcasm) the show must planning on making "Wincest Canon", too, if what's on the Gag Reel is taken as future 'Supernatural Canon'. It's called the Gag Reel for a reason ... the actors make dialog or action bloopers/mistakes and then decide to have fun for a few moments to absolutely poke at themselves and the wincest and destiel fans.

    ReplyDelete
  63. That was a riot! Are the fans crying CANON! "Bobby loves Cas - Cas loves Bobby. CABOBBY, my OTP"! from their "performance" on the S6 Gag Reel? Nope.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Me too. I loved Cas/Meg

    ReplyDelete
  65. I can't stand Destiel. But totally up for Cas/Meg shipping.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Good thing I finished my coffee first or I would have spit on my keyboard from lol-ing hard at yours and Daphne's exchanges (wipes tears of laughter from my eyes).

    ReplyDelete
  67. We are terribly sorry for any damage to your keyboard. I'm sure the near miss has traumatized it. We will, of course, pay for therapy. :)) I'm sending a Kleenex gift pack your way cuz we're far from done. :))

    ReplyDelete
  68. This show is not about an eternal war between Heaven and Hell. It's about two brothers fighting evil--which sometimes has included both Heaven and Hell. Brother fighting evil. The family business.

    ReplyDelete
  69. They haven't stopped whacking monsters, it just isn't the be all and end all of the show anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  70. If you don't like him then don't watch it anymore. I thought you had given up on the show anyways.

    ReplyDelete
  71. That's where he left this viewer.

    ReplyDelete
  72. True. The show does have to evolve and the characters need to grow and develop. I just think more attention needs to be put toward the mytharc and history as the characters will grow with this.


    And it also depends on how big you want the bottom of the pyramid. The writers have Dean, Sam and the mythology to focus on. Developing more of the supporting characters may take away from the overall quality of the story.

    ReplyDelete
  73. He's technically not watching it. The new season hasn't started.

    I got in a fight with the destial forum so I ain't gonna say anything to trigger anything :) but this info came at the right time not in regards to the shippers of all sorts but to make more excitement before the premiere!. I hope she lives is my only concern, but besides that its interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Go visit the tv line.com article where this news was posted. they all are there ;)

    ReplyDelete
  76. True. But purgatory is also filled with Abercrombie rejects so maybe she could have some fun before she falls?

    ReplyDelete
  77. Love interest's are ok if they actually do something for the character. Amelia was a disaster for Sam maybe they might get this right?. I am never sure that SPN is the type of show for them but we shall see.

    ReplyDelete
  78. I know, right? They're just joking around and having fun on set. That's all.

    ReplyDelete
  79. They can't fit it in between all the contrived melodrama and angst. Angels are the new black. Gotta give the fans what they want, right?.... Wait.... :/

    ReplyDelete
  80. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that time is now. Maybe you can mix it with the Kool-Aid to give it that extra punch. I'm on the next bus to Nebulous World. I'll bring back refreshments. :)

    ReplyDelete
  81. Into the ground, through the crust, past the mantle and trapped in the inner core. I feel all geological suddenly. I'm sure it's somewhere near Hell.
