Supernatural 12.16 "Ladies Drink Free" Comments

Supernatural's werewolf ep, a story that's been done before but this one was meant to have a twist, with the girl in the hospital, Hayden (Abby Ross) being killed by Mick (Adam Fergus) cos Men of Letters: ridding every monster off the face of the earth one at a time.  But also keeping that from the Winchesters in not telling Deano (Jensen Ackles) that the girl, Magda (Paoloma Kwiatkowski) they saved in 12.4 American Nightmare, was actually killed by Mr Ketch -Up (David Haydn-Jones) (yeh Dean needing a ketch up here on what's gone on in the past with them not to be trusted) hope we get a conclusion to the Men of Letters: Brit Chapter pretty soon, but they're so widespread that they'll always be around.  I mean kill one and another will take their place, as we know.

However as said this plot was done before, let's find a cure for Claire (Kathryn Love Newton) cos she's one of Jody's children now and she won't be too happy about losing her, especially since she's been lying to her about hunting, instead of hunting for unis, just as Sam (Jared Padalecki) was at uni and came into the hunting 'game' cos of Dean and his search for Dad.  Also Jo (Alona Tal) did the same going behind Mommy Ellen's (Samantha Ferris) back and hunting when she was abducted by HH Holmes in season 2.6 No Exit.  (Yeah the Supernatural eps and title just roll off the tongue for me, it's my useless memory stores everything ha!)  My sister said I should go on Mastermind and choose Supernatural as my selected topic!  Ha.  Then embarrass myself when the mind loses the plot and can't answer a damn thing!!

No mention of Sam and Madison (Emmanuelle Vaugier) from season 2 Heart either and how she had to be shot by a silver bullet to be free of her transformation, no hope of her being saved even if she was one of Sam's loves. Not even considered and Dean being the one who wanted to do it for Sam but Sam insisted he should end it for her.  In that respects they were in a sense on the same path/wavelength as the Men of Letters, killing the only option available.  Claire went through the same motions as Madison in wanting to be killed and begs for Mick to do this, bit of course Dean already warned him off doing this.  Dad had a cure for werewolf-ism in his journal where he believed that if the werewolf who turned the Vic could be killed, then this would save them.  However this was a failure and didn't work.

Here it was find the one who turned her and there may be a cure.  Going back to 6.5 Live Free or Twihard ep where Dean was bitten by a vampire and was in danger of becoming one himself, especially if he drank human blood and turned someone.  However Dean actually ingested blood and wasn't actually bitten.  Again same storyline here (yes we remember, at least most of us do!) Secondly there was a cure for this vampirism, find the one who turned him too, so nothing different to this werewolf storyline.  That's how they chanced upon the Alpha (Rick Worthy) vampire too.

(Going off by one's lonesome only leads to being saved by Sam and Dean, as mentioned see Jo et al.) Here Claire did the same when she walked away from Sam, come on Jody would've found out sooner or later she was hunting and not for unis, they always do.  Seems new writers should've come up with something at least a little different to what's gone before and with a bit of different exposition.  Perhaps the title should've read Ladies Write Better eps!  ha.  Sorry I know the experiences of Garth as werewolf were already shown but Claire shouldn't have gotten off so easily and then what does she do, carry on hunting, which was to be expected.  In many ways trying to make her the epitome mirror image of Sam.  He wanted to be stop hunting, then continued and now it's his life's blood (no pun!)  There is more to life than hunting yes and she'd have plenty of time for this later.

As you have guessed not too enamoured with Claire!  Was waiting for a Cas (Misha Collins) appearance, but also no!  Since Claire was Jimmy's daughter and he would've had a vested interest in seeing her safe.  But he's got devil spawn to hunt!
