That's true. Yeah when I was young I always even associated the 20th Century music with Star Wars - that *was* Star Wars music to me, haha. It was a great feeling seeing the Star Wars logo and the scrolling text on the big screen. I saw it on opening night so emotions were really high in the theatre, and everyone cheered when the movie started. Of course people cheered a lot when Han and Chewie came on screen, when C-3P0 came on, times like that - and also when the Millenium Falcon first showed up. That was great! "The junk will do!"

You make a good point about Snoke's age; now I'm wondering what he was up to back then! Also I kept wondering why Hux looked so familiar to me and then I realized he was Charlie Weasley.

Yeah Phasma was heavily advertised but she barely had a part. I'd be surprised if she didn't have more to do next time. My guess is that it was a combination of being so guilty about what he had done, and also keeping her safe (i.e. away from him). Some people are also wondering if she's a relative of Obi-Wan; I mean, who knows what he was up to between episodes 3 and 4; maybe he had a kid that would become one of her parents. Another idea is that she's a Kenobi and a Skywalker although I think that's pushing it a bit. I was also thinking she might be a Solo throughout a lot of the movie, but then a daughter was never mentioned by Han or Leia so I think that's the least likely explanation. Poe was pretty great too, hopefully we see more of him as well. C-3PO wasn't really needed other than completeness I think. I'll always think of C-3PO and R2-D2 as an old married couple . I was really hoping that Ackbar might say "Maybe it's a trap!"

I'd forgotten about Harrison wishing that! Ahh well my brother saw a picture someone had taken from the movie theatre of the scene where Han dies - the moment the lightsabre went through him. He saw the movie several days after me so he kept asking me if it was true or not; he didn't want to believe it!

The trailer for the next episode is freaking me out... Cas is really losing it. I hope that when he hits Dean he starts to snap out of it. And YES MORE CROWLEY AND CAS AND MEG! It looks like a great episode. Not a happy one though, of course .

Yeah I hope so too, about Meg.

Also: I've got a HUGE spoiler on a particular someone who's going to be back in episode 19 hehehehe!

It was filmed during episode 19 filming. They're in a demon's trap, in the middle of a crossroads, and the ground is dug up in the centre... maybe they tried to trap Crowley. Or someone made a deal...

True, true . That would be AWESOME. Speaking of the finale apparently there'll be a big cliffhanger. Yeah not very long! Whoa you're right!

Looking forward to next episode, finally they'll be getting back to the Leviathans. And Felicia Day is a guest star

Yeah I was sad about Benny and Dean. Hoping Amelia doesn't get back in the storyline...

The last episode was hilarious XD I LOVED the Braveheart scene at the end! And the episode was so lighthearted. Loved Dean geeking out over the whole episode - he really is a nerd at heart

Yeah I wish he didn't die too! It was the whole episode was funny! And it was finally based in Vancouver!

Yeah, and within a few episodes only. I have to agree with you. I mean, don't get me wrong, I still enjoy watching the series! But it's not as good; the Leviathans are so one-dimensional. Compared to villains like Crowley (and yeah he's one of my favourites now too. I love his random anger management problems ), they're just really flat. The story's been slow on progressing; there are too many filler episodes. I wonder how the season finale will be, because so far none of them have disappointed me!

I'm probably going to be all caught up by tonight - in time for the new episode

Yeah that's fair!

Or Arrow. Not sure if you've been watching it but it's really, really bad now. They use the words hope, light, and darkness every few lines! . Yeah I was wondering about what the Men of Letters were up to, like during the Apocalypse, and why we've never heard of them until now. I agree about Lucifer, he's been used so much already and with such great people to play him earlier I'm afraid this Lucifer in the next season will be disappointing.

Yeah, effing Metatron . I didn't expect at all that he'd be the new Big Bad for next season (or, one of them). Cas must feel even more guilty now. It's kinda too bad though that the last time we've really heard about how Cas is feeling, he said he felt so guilty that he was feeling suicidal (in 8x08 Hunteri Heroici), but there's been no talk since about how he's been doing.

The final shot was beautiful. I mean, the effects were beautiful - one of my favourite shots of the series, I think - but also so tragic! I wonder what will become of the angels now. If there's any way of reversing the spell, and if they'll lose their powers or if it's just Cas who's human now. And JEEZ Cas is human now! :'( You could just see the sadness and loss in his face at the end there as he watched all his brothers and sisters falling. I could see Cas becoming human though; Misha being a regular was a big implication. I wonder how they'll deal with his humanity now - if it'll be a big storyline thing, or if it'll be pushed to the background.

I really hope that Naomi's not dead, but doubt it. She was one of my favourite additions to the series. I loved to hate her . I'm sad she probably won't be around to see season 9, especially as she kinda redeemed herself right before she died. Sad what she said about the angels forgetting that their mission was to protect humans. And too bad about Abaddon losing her vessel - I liked her too. Wonder if she'll become the Queen of Hell now, in place of Crowley.

And good idea about Crowley becoming an ally! I can see that. Mark Sheppard nailed his scenes. I felt so much for Crowley as he became more human. Funny how his accent started to change to a more American one as he humanized, since isn't his vessel a New York stock broker or something? Nice touch, Mark. But really, yeah I wonder if he'll go back to his demon self since he wasn't completely cured, or if he'll be a semi-demon semi-human, and if now that he remembers what it's like to be human, he'll become an ally.

I was initially shocked that Dean and Sam stopped closing the gates of Hell of all things, considering that the whole season has revolved around the trials and tablets and stuff, and it was at first glance at very similar situation to Swan Song. But where that involved saving millions/billions of lives, closing the gates of Hell was more of a clean-up kinda thing (i.e. not a necessity for the survival of humanity), and they really do have a lot more knowledge to fight demons with. I could understand Dean's reasoning.

Lastly, I liked the cupid scene in the bar . And the shock on Dean's face!

No wonder the next few months are called the Hellatus.

Definitely seeing Star Trek 2 (Wrath of Khan) added to the experience of watching this new Star Trek 2.

Yeah, there's a lot they could do with his character. Yeah, so relieved they're both alright! And that Cas has his angel powers back. I loved that! Me too. Do you think archangels will get resurrected at some point? Or gradually, something like that. I liked the idea of the four horsemen, especially Death.

Also, what do you think about Chuck disappearing at the end? And how he was dressed all in white, how Joshua said God was on Earth and they wouldn't be able to tell it's him... and how he said "Mistress Magda" over the phone by accident when Dean phoned? Similar to Mary Magdalene...

Yeah! I think something bad will happen to him but it'll be alright in the end, considering he's a regular next season. I think he'll either be an angel trying to clean up Heaven, or he'll be a fallen angel with the boys.

So I won't tell you! .

Yeah! I wonder what he's doing right now. Just chilling in Heaven maybe... since it's just him up there with all the human souls... or if he's plotting something big.

Me neither. I think they would still have most of their powers, but would gradually lose them if the Metatron situation isn't dealt with soon. Yeah, Cas looked heartbroken. I would love that for Crowley too . Exactly!

Probably! They've done Romulans, a human/the Federation, so next has got to be Klingons. I'm not sure how I feel about the new Klingons; they look pretty cool and sleeker but they're unfamiliar to me so they don't feel very Star Trek-y, if that makes sense.

Definitely! I think... it was better than him getting arrested...

Ahh you did! . Yep Rick does. Though Lori doesn't die before the prison...

AND CASTIEL IS HERE! :awesome:

Expectations are a powerful thing

1. Black Museum: definitely my favourite. The ending took me by surprise and it was pretty satisfying. I liked the format of how they showed the mini-stories throughout the episode but still tied them all together to make a compelling story. The guy who played Haynes was picked perfectly.

I don't know how to order Arkangel, Metalhead, and Crocodile (2-4):

Arkangel: this was one of those episodes where right from when they introduce the technology you can already guess the "bad" aspects that will happen and predict the ending, but at the same time it's technology that does seem like it could be invented in the future. I liked the parallel of the mother losing her daughter at the start, because she wasn't paying enough attention, vs. losing her daughter at the end, because she was paying too much attention.

Metalhead: When I watched this one I initially had no idea what to think about it. I don't think I really "got" it . But I talked to my brother and I think it grew on me. I think I'm used to Black Mirror episodes being used to show technology usually in social applications, whereas the robot dogs were assumedly some military tech gone wrong? So tonally it seemed pretty different. And on the surface you might think it's stupid for these people to risk their lives just to make the last moments of a dying child more comfortable, but I think what they were going for was showing the purely cold and calculated nature of the tech vs. the depths of human emotion and compassion. I liked the episode a lot more by thinking about it this way.

Crocodile: okay, the guinea pig at the end being used as a witness when the technology was already shown to be pretty shaky even when used on humans was kinda stupid. But otherwise I really liked this episode. It was kind of like Shut Up and Dance where the whole episode just keeps going downhill and even when you think it's done being dark it just gets even darker.

5. USS Callister: this one was a bit of a let down for me. I felt the design of the game was really poor and it was just because of that that the characters were able to beat him the way they did. I would have thought he (as the game's designer and player) would have way more control over what happens in-game than he actually did. It had the potential to be a really good episode though.

6. Hang the DJ: I think San Junipero was a way better take on romance and the light aspect of technology. Sometimes the reveal of "this is all a computer simulation!" is kinda cool but here it felt more like a disappointment because the whole purpose of the simulation was just for some dating app.

He will be coming back anyways XD. Same with the Ghostfacers. But if I recall correctly there is another person who will be coming back.

I find him annoying. But at least the Leviathan storyline will FINALLY get moving. Hopefully. She's mainly known on the internet, like on youtube, I believe; she created/stars in a comedy "The Guild" which follows the in-game and regular lives of a group of avid gamers who play MMORPGs. Very nerdy

I wasn't too surprised by Zoe's death, well I mean I thought that she was getting too unruly and unpredictable and that he would have to do something about. I still cheered for Frank when it happened

Lucifer back! That would be interesting. I'd love for Gabriel to come back somehow.

She didn't. Unless I have a really bad memory!

That whole sequence with him and Shane going to get medical supplies never happened

:facepalm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpwrP65iGMYhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sCnv4RmOEw&feature=fvwrel I actually watched the whole music video

Those are all good points. I can certainly see why they wanted to do it in a montage because I can't think of where they could have fit in the time to go more in depth. I think it's more just personally I was really interested to see more of how they decoded it and was let down by the quick summary of the actual decoding.

Yeah, I wondered that too. Maybe she thought Quinn, while terrible, at least was able to protect her, and she would be kept safe/alive since Quinn knew he was relying on her for the treatment? I can tell
