I was glad they brought Castiel back near the end of Season 7 ‘cause I thought killing him off was the biggest mistake the show made and a lot of ‘Supernatural’ fans did too which is why he was brought back and funny enough I recently heard Castiel wasn’t originally meant to stay on after Season 4 and it was supposed to be Anna who was going to stay on as the angel that helped Sam and Dea and she would have also been Dean’s main love interest but the showrunners decided to keep Castiel on and eventually kill Anna off ‘cause Castiel was so popular with fans and I think they could have kept both of them and had Anna as somebody who occasionally dropped in from time to time. I liked Balthazar too and I think Season 7 would have benefited from keeping him but I think they wanted Sam and Dean to be alone in that season to make the Leviathans a bigger threat to them.
I would have liked it if they had kept Ellen and Jo around for more seasons too and before they made Bobby a bigger part of the show Ellen basically had his spot but for some unknown they cut Ellen and Jo’s roles after Season 2 and only brought them back in Season 5 to kill them off and some fans say it was ‘cause Jo was meant to be Dean’s love interest and it didn’t work out but I think she would have been better with Sam and Jo would have been better on the team as a friend and not a love interest for the brothers and I don’t get why that diminished Ellen’s role. One character I am surprised hasn’t been seen again is Krissy Chambers (who you may recall was played by the same actress who played Evelyn in ‘Arrow’) and I thought they would have got her back for ‘Wayward Daughters’ ‘cause Krissy was training to be a hunter like Sam and Dean and her Father and they made it look like she was going to return again in later seasons.
I had almost forgotten about her until we recently re-watched Season 7 and 8 and it is kinda like how they had the Antichrist (Jesse Turner) appear back in Season 5 and then he was never seen again and they gave Jack the role of Lucifer’s son later. I was surprised they killed Garth off ‘cause I thought he would have lived until the end and just been a character they brought in every now and then to help Sam and Dean and for comic relief but I heard the actor’s busy schedule made it difficult for him to be used and they had plans to use him a lot more but he was too busy so they killed him off.
GARTHS DEAD!!!
*checks wiki*
*sigh of relief* NOT FUNNY DEB!! Garth is alive you cruel soul he's just a retired hunter turned peaceful werewolf, he's fine, FINE I say, give me a bloody heart attack with this chicanery an bullshit woman.
Yeah writing of Jo & Ellen was crappy, I liked Jo & Dean's flirtatiousness and honestly I think had they kept them around it could have been a fun element to play with, they could have had them be flirty for years, jealous over each others hooking up with others, Dean being macho to show up Jo's boyfriend or something would have been fun for an episode because it's not like making the guys look like tits isn't one of the shows charms, but I said it before I think Supernatural has had an issue when introducing characters meant to be longterm characters they go a little to heavy handed, which is why the best and most beloved ones are the ones not meant to be focal points of the series like Bobby, Cas, Crowley, Gabriel and such, their not written to be loved 12 episodes down the road but right away so that if they do kill them off in 4 episodes you still give a shit.
Yeah they went kill crazy in those seasons I think because they kept expecting the show to end, S5 was the intended final season for Kripke but the CW just kept renewing them, and I don't think they wanted too many loose ends left if the show did get cancelled, where as now with universes being such a big deal they don't care because anyone left alive could be spun off into their own shit so who cares, I just wish they brought back more of the older characters from apocalypse world, why couldn't we get apocalypse Jo & Ellen, Apocalypse Rufus dammit I want it.
I never really liked the Krissy character, they kind of replaced her with Claire and gave her a more prominent tie to the guys where as Krissy didn't have one, also wasn't her end off about her going to try and live a normal life, I think you need the odd character like that who doesn't fall into the life to kind of sell how consuming it is for these characters who do, and that anyone who looks at it properly wouldn't actually want to have their lives.
Are you sure? I thought Garth did die. Unless I’m getting him mixed up with another character in the show I could have sworn there was an episode of ‘Supernatural’ where Garth was murdered and the writers used that to write him out of the show ‘cause the actor was too busy to return. I am not sure but what I do remember is they said there were originally plans to use Garth a lot more on the show and he was going to take Bobby’s spot but the actor’s schedule got in the way of that and they could not do half the things they had planned for him. I am surprised he was so busy ‘cause I haven’t seen him appear in that many movies or shows outside of ‘Supernatural’ and Misha Collins’ schedule does not get in the way of Castiel appearing and neither did the actor who played Crowley.
Sorry for the confusion.
Yeah. Supernatural has long had an issue with a lot of the characters they have brought into the show and were planning on keeping and I often wonder what they would have done going forward with Ruby if Katie Cassidy had stayed on ‘cause from what I read Ruby was never originally meant to turn out to be bad and that was something that was changed when they changed the actresses and that must have meant they had bigger plans for her in the future and I imagine the show would have been very different had she stayed. One of the problems with female characters in ‘Supernatural’ though is when they have written them to be love interests for Sam and Dean you have crazy Sam and Dean fans hating on them nonstop and even attacking the actresses on social media and I think that has strongly contributed to a lot of them being killed off. Fans like that were one of the main reasons I stopped writing on ‘Supernatural’ forums before ‘cause they were insane and I remember there was one actress that appeared on an episode back in Season 3 or 4 whose character slept with Dean and they were calling her a slut everywhere saying how they never wanted to see that stupid slut again or they would never watch the show again and every time there was an episode with one female character that so much as looked Sam or Dean’s way they had meltdowns over them and would all gang up on the character together. In some ways they were the same as the extreme Felicity fans with their obsessive behaviour but unlike them who wanted to see Oliver and Felicity get together they don’t want Sam or Dean with anybody else apart for them and I could just imagine how angry they would be if they gave Sam and Dean love interests now.
I don’t think we will ever see Sam or Dean getting love interests anymore unless we only see them in the final episode and they flash forward to the future ‘cause ‘Supernatural’ has showed the brothers are meant to be alone and it is part of the price they pay for the lives they lead hunting demons and saving people and just like Jack Bauer in ‘24’ most people that have gotten close to them have ended up dead including Castiel who has died a lot of times and was brought back. Having Apocalypse Ellen and Jo would have been fun and there were a lot of characters I would have liked to have seen come back with Bobby and Charlie but I don’t think they wanted to bring back too many and they chose to have Bobby and Charlie ‘cause they were the two fans complained about the most being killed off and now they can keep them in it.
