Sam: She’s struggling.
Dean: How do you know?
Sam: Years of experience.

It makes perfect sense to me that Sam could read what Mary was feeling so easily. She’s so much like Dean and Sam has been studying Dean his whole life. He could teach the master class on Dean Winchester. Be an adjunct professor. Write scholarly publications and have them evaluated by his peers. So of course he knows that she’s having a hard time before Dean does. Because a lot of the time Sam knows Dean better than Dean knows Dean and he’s certainly seen Dean do the “bury yourself in hunting and ignore the pain until it goes away” thing a hundred times before.

BTS report from the gas station scene of The Foundary by jholden

-Getting Jared in the right angle, the director started telling Jared, ‘lower’ as he leaned on the Impala and (didn’t) pump gas.  Jared got lower, and then he said lower, over and over as Jared found himself crouching behind the Impala and laughing knowing he’d been had.  He then pretended to crawl up the trunk of the car making the people around him laugh.

-At one point Jensen walked up behind Jared bent over the Impala and smacked him in the ass with the shopping bag causing Jared to laugh and wince.

-While they changed set ups at one point, Jensen joined Jared in the back of the car where they hung out and did their thing.

-Jensen was ready and raring to get the Impala going.  With it fired up he revved it a few times for the benefit of the crowd. In the scene where they pull out in the car there’s an extra that is supposed to walk on the sidewalk. She also walked behind the car in the earlier scenes.  When they called action the first time she started to walk and Jensen, possibly showboating a bit for the fans, pushed Baby a little hard and fishtailed the back end as he pulled out of the driveway.  They had held traffic so he didn’t have to worry about that but I can tell you on the 2nd take the extra walked a little slower.

-The 2nd take they did Jensen took it a little slower and managed to get out without squealing the tires.  However on the way back someone pulling out of a side road didn’t look and came within inches of getting into an accident with Baby.  

-When they got back, Jensen pulled the car back in (perfectly for the shot, I might add) and when Jared got out he put his arms up and had everyone applaud Jensen for his driving.

Also me, in Mamma Mia, if Lucifer could regenerate his face like that, why can’t he do the same when he was in Nick? I mean that’s the only reason they won’t bring Mark back is because his vessel decayed right? Ugh i do hope it gets better.

No clue. Also were Lucifer’s eyes ever red before? I don’t think so. He’s not a demon. He’s an angel. I was reading some of the responses to my last answered ask and some of them are really good. Someone said maybe Lucifer couldn’t go into the cage in a vessel this time because they didn’t have the rings to open the portal and someone else said it might be because it was so heavily warded. But as good as those answers are, I have to ask myself: are we as a fandom twisting ourselves into knots trying to come up with plausible answers to excuse the continuity and canon errors of bad writing? I think that’s very possible. It’s sad really. That doesn’t mean I don’t love this show or that I won’t continue to watch it, just that I sincerely hope the writing improves FAST. 

Something i just realized in 12×01. Why didn’t they just use a tracking spell to find Sam? They used it a lot before with the spell that burns a map.

I don’t know. I don’t know anything anymore. They forgot so much canon and it got worse last night. Why would they not be able to put Lucifer in a cage if he’s in a vessel? That was literally the whole plot of the end of season 5: Sam letting Lucifer in his vessel so he could jump in the cage. I’m just going to chalk it up to terrible writers and hope it gets much better soon.
