Season 12 of Supernatural
Lucifer is traveling through vessels and the British Men of Letters....boo
I thought Rick Springfield was by far the worse Lucifer ever and it felt the storyline of it was so unplanned and boring. I mean they named the character Vincent Vincente....how lazy are you writers? Sometimes I really wonder what goes on in that writing room and who makes these decisions. In the beginning it wasn't too bad, but Rock Never Dies, is probably one of the worst episodes ever and what a bad midseason finale. Lets go to LA, be over the top, only for Lucifer to whine again that his dad left him. It was horrible, but I did like Crowley and Cas being there, but about it.
I like the set up of the premiere and I was very curious about the British Men of Letters, but things got worse. Toni brings up the "Old Men" though we never meet them. We later meet Hess, Mick and Ketch. The writers clearly wanted to have another "big bad - issue" some of it didn't translate well. My head is actually spinning with how to talk about this storyline. I did finish this season a few weeks ago. Overall I thought they build the BMOL too high, and yet they were unable to handle other things, or never trying to work with the boys sooner. And then going to eliminate all of the hunters....
Mary - it was nice to have her around and see the boys "in action" but she never wanted this for them and wanted out apparently, which is funny since she starts hunting soon and working with the BMOL. When she bailed on the boys in Ep 3 was so stupid and too early. She could've still be at the Bunker without being in an episode, they've done that with Cas, Kevin and eventually Jack. They needed to write her character "out" for sometime to explain why she wasn't around and it suffered on the character.
First Blood problem - So, Dean and Sam were locked up for six weeks and that was worse than hell apparently to them. WOW. I couldnt believe that was a written line for Dean to say. It felt like Dabb wanted a mystery of how they got out and to kill off Billie. Billie also brought up their deal and would face cosmic consequences... like what, another plot hole that was never explained or revisited? More bad writing.
The assault of the Colt - The Colt has been MIA since Season 5 and we are to learn that Crowley got a hold of it and gave it to a prince of hell and that's how Crowley become king of hell. The biggest problem with these later seasons is bringing things back from way long ago. It was nice to the boys "reunite" with it, but it was destroyed.
Max looses his mom and sister like the same "day" - Alicia's death I thought was unnecessary.
Eileen worked with the boys again and after an accident death she went back to Ireland. Suddenly, she returns to America because of BMOL only to be killed off by a hellhound controlled by Ketch. I don't understand this at all. Dramatic effect and all, but that hellhound dragging her around, I"m sorry, but I laughed out of embarrassment.
I thought The Future was the worst episode of the season. Cas betrays the boys twice and suddenly has maternal instincts. I didn't like Kelly and I felt the whole Lucifer baby storyline was silly and then I thought well this is going to lead into the next season and be the next big bad, but with the fetus showing Cas "the future" - a future we never get to see and I'm not sure will ever happen, I begin to really not like it more.
Jack's parentage - So, true Kelly is clearly Jack's mom and Lucifer gave Jack his Angel power, but isn't Jeffrey something, the "President" partially his father too? And even if he's not, the story of Jeffrey and his involvement is dropped so fast. I really expected him to confront the boys in their Prison and maybe Lucifer went into one of those SWAT guys. That would've made a better First Blood/midseason premiere imo. It would've send off Jeffrey's storyline/some kind of closure, eliminate the silly deal with Billie, and not ruin the Lucifer storyline more. Where does Lucifer go? Back into his old vessel from Season 5.... Are you kidding me??? Another stupid ass reason to keep Lucifer and Mark Pell around. So stupid. There is a reason why characters get killed off and actors move on to new things, to avoid the type cast and ridiculous plotlines. I think this is somewhat why Crowley's Mark left. What his character was doing with Lucifer was done already, how many times are you going to do the same thing. Ugh.
The season finale was OK, but it was slow in too many spots and it didn't feel like Kelly knew she was going to die in giving birth. I like the idea of an AU, but again, some of this writing and reasoning for how things happened are mind blowing and not in the good way. Rowena's phony death was eye rolling; Crowley's death I felt I was expecting, but the problem is it didn't close the rift right away. Lucifer stabbing Cas was for simple shock value.
Overall, I thought Season 12 had a lot of problems, I didn't even mention everything.
