Is it me, or does anyone feel like The Observers are very similar to the members of The Adjustment Bureau? (i.e. making sure things stay on the "right" path.)
@jaxgirl71 - Just checked out the seven princes of hell and boy does that sound even more intriguing. A plotline like that makes me even more excited for the season!
@Doe-Rae-Me Unless it has been all secretly kept quiet, nothing really happened between Janet and Franco besides a simple moment that could have led somewhere (and the times he came to help out around the apartment.) Other than that, I'm pretty sure it didn't go any further. It's just something that Tommy continues to drudge up.
@T Jeff - I have never seen the original series. The idea that Belko being the actual killer for caring for Rosie too much makes perfect sense. I imagine that the American version changed a few things up so as not to be an exact copy of the original. And I know it sounds cheesy about Richmond's greater connection, but it would seem silly to incorporate so much time to his character if there wasn't more to be learned about him. Once this season is over, I should check out the original as it sounds like a very good series. Thanks for watching and reading!
@bbzip - I merely meant that Raphael's strong personality and presence remained the same throughout all of the forms he had taken, rather than a comment about the strength of a particular gender. After all, Supernatural has given viewers some great female characters (i.e. Ruby, Lillith,Ellen). Sorry for the mix up!
I'm excited to see how Season 7 deals with Castiel's new powers. Even after the finale, there's still a lot to think about. Bring on next fall!
@kamja - I think the full extent of the scene will be explained next time around. For now, angel or God, Castiel has become extremely powerful and a force to be reckoned with. Yes, the way Dean tried to talk him down was great.
@james - I think there will always be someone or something attempting to have power. It's unfortunate but true. Hopefully the brothers will eventually be able to find a way to counterbalance and keep the side of good on the top.
@ Aries93 - Welcome! It's great to hear from everyone about Supernatural. I'm sure Castiel has some reason as to his connection with Crowley. He wouldn't team up without a reason.
@Marie - I enjoy when Supernatural uses real music so that was certainly a treat in this episode. It hasn't been used as much lately in favor of score music.
@ Nin - For a couple minutes, but it really didn't last long. They picked up where last week left off at the start of this episode. Sam was in coma mode and then after a little he came to. They decided they should avoid memory lane from now on.
This show never ceases to amaze me. The scenes can feel so realistic at times, that I forget that I'm watching a scripted show. It's definitely something to look forward to every week.
@ LightsOutFan - I agree that television has become a war zone and it's become extremely hard for shows to stick around. Look at Terriers. That was a well crafted show that took its time, developed its characters, and hit its marks. It was cancelled. It is hard for serialized shows to compete with the likes of viewership towards shows like Housewives or even Jersey Shore.
I enjoy Lights Out and I'm not looking for a bow wrapped ending for every episode. It's a unique brand of series with some relatively interesting characters. I'm just hoping to see a little more chemistry and pep from the characters. As for the wife, I'm simply disappointed that she refuses to support her husband on any level.
So, even though I have a few complaints about Lights Out, it doesn't make it a bad show. It certainly has a lot to offer and overall, I look forward to seeing Patrick's comeback.
@SeanMcKennaisanimbecile: Everyone has his or her own opinions about “The Walking Dead.” Some choose to stick around and watch, while others simply find a different channel. I’m glad you were able to read my review, but I’d rather you refrain from insulting viewers and myself with derogatory comments. Instead I welcome insightful thoughts and discussion about the episode. I wish you the best of luck in finding a show that you too can enjoy.
@ Bill: Betty was played by Lana Parrilla. She's been in shows like Lost and 24.
@ John: The song is called "Sending Me Angels" and was sung by Delbert McClinton, John Oates, and Kathy Mattea. It was written by Frankie Miller and Jerry Lynn William.
@ Matt: I think what I was trying to say was that as much as I truly dislike Lori for getting with Shane, (and a weird sex scene), it certainly makes for an interesting conflict for when Rick gets back. I agree that I prefer when adaptations are made, that writers, producers, etc. try and stay true to the source material because more often then not, its great stuff. That being said, because I have not read the graphic novels I can't truly comment on the original writing. Hopefully the way she is being portrayed doesn't compromise her character. However I hope that fans of the source material don't get too bogged down by comparisons, even if the original work is fantastic, and rather look at this show as a great new experience for television. Although it is often interesting to hear from fans how the television show varies from the graphic novels. Ultimately, this is a new and exciting series, with the author of the novels, Robert Kirkman as an executive producer and writer. I have a feeling that for now at least, the show is in good hands. I do hope that they continue to do the original work justice and I look forward to watching each new episode.
@ Matt: As much as I dislike Lori for being with Shane, she technically isn't cheating on Rick if she thinks that he's dead. (If the affair started prior however, that's a different story.) Sure I think maybe a little more time should have been taken before finding a new lover. However, with a zombie apocalypse, things are a little more ramped up. Her finding comfort in someone is plausible even if we don't like it. Love triangles on TV always make for great drama and I can't wait till Rick finds out what happened!
@ Matthew: I've never read the comic but I do think that straying off the path to explore other characters is a good idea. Some will work and some won't. For example, I believe Morgan Jones plays a smaller role in the comic, yet after seeing him in the pilot, I enjoyed his portrayal. He was a great character. Ultimately, different types of characters allow us to see how they will affect the stability of the group. As long as they are useful to the storyline and create drama and tension it’s a good thing. That's what this show is truly about. Here's to the next episode!
@ Bens Halloween Mask - I agree with you about the Cas and Balthazar relationship being more in line, I didn't ultimately think of that. I was thinking about how the Samuel Campbell storyline will mix with this angel one.
@ Rylin - Hasn't Cas always kinda been pompous and out of touch with human emotion? I'm pretty sure I'd be stressed out and distracted if I had to deal with a broken and rebellious Heaven. But yeah, he definitely should have answered Sam when he came back. After all, Sam did stop the apocalypse.
@Wendigo - Do I like that Sam has changed? No. Do I think its good for the storyline and his character? Yes. Characters are always changing, learning, and developing. If that didn't happen the story would become monotonous and people would complain nothing new is happening.
If you want the old Sam back, do you mean the Sam that was going to college to become a lawyer? It was being forced back into the hunting world that changed Sam into becoming more interested in his family and the supernatural.
That being said, I am certainly looking forward to finding out what is wrong with him because everyone's roles seemed to have changed, including Dean's. It just happens to be Dean who is the first to start working to get back to his old hunter ways.
