Grumpy Mom Bored with Sons
11 October 2023
So Mary Winchester gets brought back from the dead by The Darkness, and almost immediately she is complaining about being alive. Her happiness at seeing her two sons lasted about five seconds, because they were not the children she remembered. Now they were a couple of thirty year old alcoholics.

Another oddity is that Mary was under 30 years old when she died, yet she comes back way into middle age. How do you get old and wrinkled if you died young??

Instead of taking off on a cruise with Mom, or a trip to Europe, Asia, or Alaska to have fun and spend quality time with Mom, they hand her a flashlight and a cellphone and start hunting critters. Mom is not familiar with computers and the internet, so her sons look at her like she is a loser.

Generally, Mom and her kids have less than zero chemistry, and I have to wonder who picked the actress that plays Mary Winchester? She looks dreary, depressed, and miserable in every episode that she ever appeared in. What a drag.

So it is no surprise when Mom tells her kids that she is moving on, because she needs "space and time," to get over the fact that she cannot stand to be around her two sons, and keeps hoping that she was dead again. Good times, sadly scripted by really bad writers.
