Let the Rumors Fly

Hello Darlings,

First off, we want to apologies for being so silent for so long. Life sometimes gets in the way, but we are working on not letting that interfere with future posts as we have some awesome content and insight for you coming up!

Comment down below with your thoughts on this post, questions you may have or if you have ideas of what you think we should be covering in the future! Thank you to our readers sharing in your excitement is why we create the conversations.

With the impending finale of season 12 of the ever popular CW show Supernatural, producers teased earlier this week that in typical ‘no one is safe’ fashion a character may die. This is a compelling formula to create high stakes drama which is often an emotional roller coaster for devoted fans and casual consumers of the show.

Some shows often create a cliff hanger ending in their season final to increase their chances of returning in the fall and avoiding the chopping block by TV executives who make the budgeting decisions for their networks. This has worked out well for Eric Kripke's Supernatural (SPN), in the past and we expect something similar in the works for the final of the current season. As always with a large fan base, which SPN is famous for rumors are easily started and can come from nothing.

The producers teased earlier this week that there may be a character death and that coupled with what a fan heard from Mark Sheppard -who plays the villainous but loved King of Hell, the demon Crowley- at a recent Supernatural fan convention that he had very much enjoyed his time on Supernatural. Some are convinced Crowley, may be exiting the show this season. 

Let’s take a look; Cas was suppose to be a short feature but fans loved both the character Cas, and the actor who portrayed him, Misha Collins so much that he become a series regular and since season 4 has found his way into the collective fandom heart as the third Winchester brother. (Sorry Adam!). Crowley has had an interesting story line as the writers have brought in both his son and mother-the witch Rowena, played by the vibrant Ruth Connell. This has added some depth  to some secondary characters and allowed the writers to explore additional story lines without focusing on Sam and Dean. We are all for this as it has been interesting to learn about Crowley more this season. But my question is do we know all there is to know about the liked 'King of Hell'. This attention away from the bread winners of the show makes me hopeful that a spin off can be worked for the beloved Wayward Daughters, Claire and Alex lead by cop/hunter Jodi Mills!

This season of Supernatural has seen some interesting plot points, but a prophetic one was when Cas killed the reaper Billie when Sam and Dean made a deal with her to get out of a tight spot. Before her untimely end Billie stated that going back on this deal would have cosmic consequences. We are still unclear about what that could mean. (Officially we are behind in viewing the latest episodes), Could it mean that going back on the deal with a reaper lead the way for Lucifer's kid to exist? (There are a boat load of questions with the introduction of that story line)! Also will the cosmic turbulence catch the attention of God? Will he weigh in? There is also the British Men of Letters. This story line is not loved by most fans, personally I think it fell flat, but I understand -from their point of view- how their methods and codes could "help", and why Mary could see the benefits of working with them. This apparently may prove costly!

What of Mary Winchester? Is she safe from what producers are teasing as a character death? Yes it’s great that Sam and Dean have their mother back, but it’s interesting dynamics. She's not playing a traditional mother role, the Mary that comes back settles into Hunter mode quite quickly and she seems to be more ruthless & dangerous then her sons’.  They all are adjusting to figuring out how to deal with her being back in the equation of things. Plus her dealings with the British Men of Letters, how quickly she was to join forces with them. I don't know how much I believe that she could stop hunting. Deep down she knew then and even more so now feels like there is no way out. This doesn't change the fact that she will fight for the protection of her family-her boys- till the end. 

That’s my vote, is something will happen at the end of the season that will threaten not only the lives of Sam and Dean but all American hunters, Mary will make the deal/ sacrifice to keep the boys from Heaven and Hell. So they can keep fighting the good fight. All along SPN has shown the essential need for Sam & Dean, I don't expect season 12 final to be any different, I am excited to see what comes next though. To the departed character that may be leaving us, fare thee well.

Do you have an idea of which character could be leaving Supernatural? Tune into the CW on May 18^th, 2017 to find out!

Better the devil you know then the one you don’t!

Happy Hunting,
