Can we have a moment of silence for the magnificent Special Agent Victor Henriksen?

Why does this show kill off all of its best supporting characters?

Same here. Man, that was a shock.

I'm very disappointed that they killed him. I really am. I saw great potential for him as a recurring character. I thought he'd probably even become a hunter.

Overall I was a little let down. Maybe it wasn't such a great idea to show this after an awesome episode like "Nightshifter." I don't know. There were plenty of things that I liked but overall? Left me a wee bit flat. And for me to say that about an episode that features Dean copiously bleeding is kind of a shock.

I was shocked, and I hated to see Henrikson go, but it was a powerful and terrifying introduction of Lillith into the story. Such a sweet little girl, until those eyes rolled over white. She scared me.

I'll admit that blowing everyone up was a good way to bring in Lilith but I'm unmoved by her big reveal. Little private school-looking girls in outfits from the Talbots Kids collection are strangely unterrifying to me...why are creepy little kids always dressed up like they're on their way to dinner at the Yacht Club?

Dude I thought he could be a kinda cool, if sometimes clumsy hunter. Damn it this is the same crap Stephen King pulls: he gets you all attached to a minor character then kills them off. :(

Well, that's better than John Irving, who gets you all attached to a MAJOR character and then kills them off. The Hotel New Hampshire was one of the few books I ever physically hurled across a room.

Not sure if you saw this in my posting today, but it might be of interest to you/some of your friends list. :-)

I admit I recognize a bit of myself in here, yesssss...

Great article. I enjoyed reading that. Thank you.

[oselle.livejournal.com]

Good lord, how did you read that so fast!?

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

I'm a fast reader. Always have been.

[caoil.livejournal.com]

Hee hee! I know whereof you speak...

[oselle.livejournal.com]

Don't have time to read that right now but it looks like it was written by none other than big_pink.

Am in mourning over Agent Henriksen. Only bright spot is that maybe, one day, Ruby will suffer a similar fate.

I just want Bela to drive off a cliff already. Enough.

Ah, but did they find the body?

/is in denial.

And speaking of bodies, they didn't really find Ash body either, did they? Just that arm with the watch, could be anybody.

/is in double denial.

That child is super creeepy.

[oselle.livejournal.com]

I'd be in denial too, but I don't think even the mightly Henriksen could have survived the immolation of that police station.

I'm so, so sad about him. And Dean is so lovely in his shock and grief...

[oselle.livejournal.com]

Dean's pretty much lovely all the time, isn't he? Did you notice how pale they made him look after he'd been shot? Nice touch, show!

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

I did. :D Even then he's breathtaking.
