There was tiny spoiler or rather non-spoiler? How do you call it when something is said NOT to happen? in the latest Ask Aussiello
Usually I wouldn`t bother posting it it`s so insignificant to any plot-issues going on but I LOVE it and I hope it`s true, now and always. Again reading that would likely not give anything away about any plot or real character issues, it`s more an extreme side-thing (though still important to me :)

Question: Do you know if anything will ever happen between Dean and Bela on Supernatural before we run out of new episodes? — Katrina
Ausiello: If by "anything" you mean "knockin' boots," the answer, per series creator Eric Kripke, is no. " Sorry, no Dean-Bela hookups. They hate each other too much. If anything, Bela becomes more antagonistic."

Please, please, please, let that always remain the case. They had Bela do things way too much over the line that I would buy Dean overlooking them - other than giving her the clichéd little redemption. She is near sociopathic, you already half-way write her that way, now drop the cutefying of it and it might actually work. Sociopaths aren`t cute and the heroes don`t think they have "style".

I can't say I'm sorry about that! Or maybe I'm a bit dissapointed by the loss of the opportunity to see Jensen shirtless... Yes, I know, shallow... *blushes*

Also, you wrote that: "Yeah well, I`ve generally lowered my expectations this Season - and then some. Sad but true." And I was wondering: you really don't like this season? I know a lot of people are dissapointed in it but I really like it so far. I know some episodes weren't that good (RSAM and Sin City didn't really do it for me) but the rest's just great for me. I like to have people's opinion on this season. :)

Unfortunately compared to the last Season at this point Season 3 is not really doing it for me. To be fair though I don`t like both the deal - hated it in the Season 2 Finale - and the Boy King storyline since I find storyline about terminally ill people dreadfully boring, especially when it`s their own fault (I had little to no sympathy for the people in Crossroad Blues), and I'm overdosed on Chosen One stories.

So for the overall themes of the Season I`m incredibly meh. If they can give Dean an actual active, plotty storyline from this that ends up about him and if Sam (or Dean) doesn`t end up some literal Anti-Christ figure maybe but so far I fear I`m out of luck.

The first two episodes I was majorly disappointed, with the first half of "Kids are alright" suffering from atrocious writing. Bad Day was funny but ultimately forgettable. Sin City was better but could have been really good if the town had been an actual Sin City. Bedtimes Stories was solid but Gaygate didn't need to be in it. RSAM is the lowpoint of all three Seasons for me. Fresh Blood could have been perfect if not for the Bela-parts that made no sense whatsoever. And the Christmas one had a few issues with terrible exposition but was otherwise good.

Thus all in all the last two episodes are the only ones I really care to rewatch much. After eight episodes in Season 2 the only two I did not like were "Simon Said" and "No Exit". Which makes it a ratio of 6 out of 8 and now it's 2 out of 8.

Sorry to be a downer but this Season has just not brought the squee to me. :/

I can understand that if you're not really into the deal storyline, the season must be less attracting than the others. I really like it because it brings some very emotional scenes between the boys and that's enough to make me happy. As for the Boy King one, it has been there for so long that I don't even pay attention to it anymore!

I like your analyse of each episode. Fresh blood is definitely my favorite so far (Gordon was a great sociopath, though I understand that they couldn't have continued to bring him back again and again. Still, I will miss him!). I just have the feeling that I don't have the necessary hindsight to be more critical, maybe that's why I like this season so much. It's the first time that I have to wait each week to see the episodes as I haven't seen the 2 first seasons on TV, so my joy to finally see the episode tends to cloud my judgement! ;)

Anyway, thanks for giving me your opinion. As the last 2 episodes were the best so far, we can hope that the new episodes will be even better! Well, if they're finally aired one day, that is....
