The recent Facebook fiasco reminded me of a conversation I had a few years back with a couple of my teammates.

'You are not on Twitter?' one of them had asked.

'No'

'Facebook?' asked another.

'Nope'.

'You don't want to share photos of your vacations with your friends?' this was accompanied by a look which screamed the unasked question - 'which planet of a far far away galaxy are you from?'.

'Why would I want to?' I arched my eye-brows the way Mr. Spock (of the Star Trek fame!) does when he hears something particularly fascinating (or inane!).

'And you don't want to see photos posted by your friends?' I think by now my teammates were imagining a non-existent green antenna popping out of my head, right in between a pair of extra eyes.

'Again, why would I want to?' Don't get me wrong. I love all my friends but that doesn't extend to spending time looking at them and their family frolicking about at their latest travel destination.

'Oh'

To this day, I am not sure if they simply ran out of arguments or gave up this exercise as a futile one.

Needless to say, the recent brouhaha convinced me (not that I needed any convincing!) that I was right in steering clear of the so-called 'social networks'.

I don't trust Arthur Ketch an inch, do you? I think his latest adventures are nothing but a ploy to get Jack from the Apocalypse World and hand him over to Asmodeus. Given the fact that Sam can be fooled by even a 5-year old, I wonder why Dean left him behind. At least he could have called Castiel and Rowena for backup.

I have a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that when Dean and Arthur get back with Mary and Jack in tow, they are going to be greeted by the sight of Sam & Gabriel, bound and gagged, with Asmodeus holding a gun to Sam's head. :-(

Supernatural, S13, E16

I don't know what to make of this episode. I really don't. First it was the killer stuffed dinosaur. Then a TV that sucked the Winchesters inside. And as if that wasn't enough, they were sucked right into an episode of Scooby-Doo! Have the makers of the show forgotten the fact that the series is being telecast in other countries as well? And that most of the audience is not candy-popping, popcorn-munching, cola-guzzling 7-8 year olds? :-(

It would have been much more interesting to watch how Castiel got the fruits from the Tree of Life.

P.S. Why is taking so long for the evil counterpart of that girl Kaia to catch up with the Winchesters? Is she waiting for the Season Finale to make an appearance?
