      Exactly, Crowley, like Castiel, was one of the characters they introduced without realizing they were adding a character that really improved the show immensely - and thus became a regular character. They should have just rolled with it and given them both permanent roles on the show. Sheppard dominated the episode whenever he showed up. Brilliant acting :)

      which is funny that you say that, because mark has talked in cons about how one of the reasons why he was phased out was because they gave plotlines written for crowley to castiel. one of the reasons why they dropped demon dean with no mention later on is because they were going to start limiting crowley’s friendship with dean to focus on castiel plots. i felt like they really dropped the ball with castiel’s human plot-would’ve been way more interesting to see crowley deal with humanity like he had in the trials season. castiel was always way more interesting as an all-powerful being trying to understand and protect what is largely an inconsequential race of creatures in the span of eternity.

The story was over the place, the plot points they made contradicted with previous established lore... Seasons 6-11 had faults but were overall well done. Season 11 would have been a good place to end the show as a prebiblical threat is probably the best threat to have after enduring a literal apocalypse in season 5.

    Near the end, Crowley lost a lot of what made Crowley.... Crowley. Crowley is most often the smartest guy in the room. In later, seasons, he often got outsmarted. Crowley is a great character because of his brain. At the end of Season 10, it looked like Crowley was going to get a big resurgence as King of Hell to instead he basically became a babysitter to Amara at the first half of season 11. Then played second fiddle to Lucifer most of the season. It's not Mark Sheppard's fault. I still enjoyed his acting as Crowley, but the story wasn't great for his character. I would have also liked to have seen Demon Dean and Crowley's relationship go longer.

      I think it was prefect because as you see his character change for the better, his personality changes. The reason he was always the smartest man in the room was because he was evil and only had his self interest in mind, but as he became closer to Dean and moose he began to grow some humanity and hence started to b be more like the 3 idiots. That's my take on it.

    I always wanted to see a Crowley & Cass spin off that we got glimpses of in the show where they went off either on a independent hunt or a side mission from/for the boys. The two are just hilarious. Others have mentioned it but a spin off or even mini series of Crowley guiding Dean through the process of becoming a demon which they teased in the show happened but only gave us a brief glimpse of it at its end would be great too. Crowley was awesome, I was very upset they killed him off but because I was afraid of spoilers I never followed any behind the scenes or convention stuff until after the series was over, so like a moron I spent 3 seasons wondering how and when they were going to bring Crowley back :'(.

    Mark Sheppard is honestly amazing, and it happens he has been in the majority of my favorite tv shows (special shout-out to his short but memorable turn as Badger in my all-time favorite show.). It's like a series may be good, but then Mark comes along, and it turns iconic. (Firefly and White Collar were lucky enough to have him in the pilots, so they started off iconic, to me.)

      See also Chuck, Doctor Who, Dollhouse, BSG, Warehouse 13, Leverage (Sterling!)... There was a rule in our house called the Law of Mark Sheppard; the longer you watched and got invested in a cult show, the probability of Mark Sheppard appearing approaches 1 (and will eventually hit it).
      I remember positing this to a housemate and she thought it was ridiculous, until she decided to rewatch an old show called 'The Invisible Man' (remake in the early 00s) and then in one episode he showed up in a bright yellow shirt as if to say, 'HAHA GOTCHA!' She just turned to me, blinked, and had to turn the TV off for a minute.
      I told her not to rewatch Charmed, Sliders or X-Files.

      Yeah Crowleys first 3/4 seasons, switching between ally and big bad were done really well, and then as demon deans best bud, but you could tell after the human blood thing didn't really know what to do with him and handed him the idiot ball, plus Sam having this axe to grind was weird, Meg literally tried killing them and their dad several times, and killed Ellen and Jo, but they were able to move past that and realize she was chill, but they NEVER appreciate Crowley or give him any credit when he was constantly helping them out haha, and all he wanted was some appreciation.

    I was actually so mad they didn't bring Crowley back. I kept expecting it and it didn't happen. Mark truly brought that character to life, and I highly doubt the character would have come back so many times had it not been for Mark. His absence in the final season, in particular, the last few episodes, totally changed how it went down. Really unfortunate how dirty they did Mark.

    • @bradtorville5526
      @bradtorville5526 Před 2 lety +4

      Felt the same, particularly when so many of the characters have died and been brought back repeatedly. To be honest, the show ran at least 5 seasons well past its prime. There were so many episodes where nothing at all happened for literally minutes at a time, characters just sitting there, staring off into space, clearly because the writers didn't have a clue what the hell to write for them and they needed to fill up air time. The entire British Men of Letters thing too slowed down the pace of the show. So many other episodes just had the boys hanging out in the background as if they were guesting in their own series.
      No show should run 15 years if they don't know what the hell to do with the story. God bless Ricky Gervais. He knows when to wrap things up and move on to something new. Usually two or three seasons and then he admits he doesn't have any more new ideas left and just ends it in favor of trying something new. But SPN tried repeatedly to spinoff new shows which failed miserably and even now Jensen and his wife are pitching The Winchesters, an origin story, except they pretty much covered all that in several SPN episodes so what's the point of rehashing all that all over again? *sigh*
      Miss you terribly, Mark. You were shafted big time, buddy.

He replied with something along the lines of "not remotely true, I won't be coming back, was permanently removed from cast by Dabb"!

Scoobynatural is an awesome ep, and s14 has some highlights with Jensen in the Michael arc, but that's about it for the last few seasons imo...
      What they should have done with the final season is had Lucifer and Michael team up WITH the Winchesters against Chuck. And Crowley! Everyone else was coming out of the Empty so why not him? I don't know whether all the good writers left or they were just under Dabb's thumb, but the whole team just lost the ability to tell a good story.

I hoped he would be brought back somehow after he was actually killed in the show but, it is what it is. Crowley would have made the remaining episodes more fun though.

    When he left I think it was one the most heart breaking I mean when Jared and Jensen's ending was shown I cried but Crowleys ending is just ahhhh nooo 😥 crowley made you know when a good part was coming

    Every hero needs a great villain and he was theirs. His best work was in the earlier seasons where he was a legit bad guy but because of his great charisma people began to love him. The writers and studio saw that and were like “they love that character… let’s make him a comedic heel.”. That lead to more and more goofy plots that watered down the character from a proud owner of hell hounds to a lackey.

    Crowley got the shit end of things. He sacrificed himself so Sam and Dean could escape the apocalypse world and entrap Lucifer there. But it was in vain since Lucifer grabbed Mary AND killed Cas before the rift closed. He deserved a better chance at redemption sacrifice.

    I find myself constantly rewatching The Devil You Know. It's such a great and damn near perfect episode. We all missed you Mark and the show was not the same without you.

    As a Brit myself I have a flag to fly for Mark. He’s an awesome human, awesome actor and speaks from the heart.

    Well Supernatural's loss was Doom Patrols gain. I absolutely love, love, love him as Willoughby. He was fantastic in Battlestar Galactica as well. Big fan of this guy and his roles

    I was massively upset when this happened. I consider Mark Sheppard to be a ‘character’ actor. In my opinion, great character actors are the best actors. A storyline could be complete garbage but character actors make the entirely believable. I follow their careers for years and even decades because I know that they will make it believable. Mark is easily in my top 10 character actors

    Well i loved you and missed you on the shows. You played so great to the boys and you made me laugh. I loved the scenes with crowley and castiel. Only on supernatural could you have the king of hell and an angel workin together. Mark best wishes in whatever you go after next and know we love and missed seein you on the show. Great things are out there for you so keep fightin. Love and peace
