Are you bitter that they killed Rowena off?

I am still gutted that she was the one they decided to murder. It makes me very angry that we were just getting to know her and many even liking her even though at first many thought her accent was very annoying. I liked her from the start and saw her potential very early on. Have they shot themselves in the foot in killing off Rowena, or do you think she will be back? Even though we've seen her charred body does this really mean the end for her character?

I am mighty pissed she's gone, how about you ...

This is a show where, literally, anything goes. If they want her back, they'll think of a way to get her back. I kinda liked her, she had her moments, mostly in combination with Crowley.

Well as I said in my other post - I AM EXTREMELY UPSET - not only that they have killed her as she had a lot left to offer but in the way they did it. I think it was very disrespectful to Ruth to do it off screen. I don't think she will be back and I don't think Crowley will be back but I am not surprised so much with Crowley as they were really not giving him good story lines and Mark is a well respected actor so he won't be worried and may even have asked to get out.

Very upset with how they did it. She deserved an on screen death.

[–] Bella-UK (1288) 8 years ago

I agree with all of you, she deserved a much better send-off than what she was dealt. Crowley is already back which many guessed would happen. I hope they find a way to bring her back. As Icarus said above she still had a lot left to offer us. I found her to be different from other characters that have been on the show, and that the Witch element offered something to help the boys in a crisis. Now they don't have that extra back-up who's witchcraft skills will help? Crowley knew of his mother's skills and admitted he didn't have them. Have the boys lost something very valuable in her?

Yes with Rowena, I think they have lost something.

Because like it or not any action she made could be turned on a dime yet the woman wore her heart on her sleeve. You never knew who she was for and what she was willing to do and once they allowed Ruth to drop the pantomime aspect of her, Rowena was really interesting. Every bit of magic Rowena did wasn't a deus ex machina, her magic was hard won and came with a price - someone usually died.

But I always thought it that Rowena just truly wanted to be loved, respected and safe and to her that meant being powerful. But in regarding Dean she showed more motherly instinct than Mary had in that scene with Dean, yet she still was also playing it as she just wanted a favour and she tried to walk with that book. It was complex and heartbreaking and she was great all at the same time.

"Crowley is already back which many guessed would happen." Sorry Bella but what do you mean here, Crowley killed himself on an angel sword?

[–] CluelessDrifter (884) 8 years ago

Shhhh. She hasn't seen it yet. She's watching it tonight.

[–] Bella-UK (1288) 8 years ago

Not bothered about being spoiled. So he's died a second time>>? YIKES!

[–] CluelessDrifter (884) 8 years ago

Yeah, and I'm pretty sure it's for good this time.

Yes Bella I'm very bitter. They could have at least showed the start of the fight. But I'm glad they didn't show her burning and screaming. R.I.P. Rowena (hope u come back)💋

[–] Bella-UK (1288) 8 years ago

I am doubly depressed, as I love both of them. Darn ....

[–] AaronSynn (284) 8 years ago

I'm sad. I liked her character.
A fight scene would've been cool, but maybe her schedule made it not worth her while to show up for a brief cameo.

[–] Idahoforspn (61) 8 years ago

Or she didn't want to appear in an episode to be killed in seconds.

[–] louise897 (30) 8 years ago

I won't say I'm bitter, but I am disappointed that Rowena is gone. I really liked her.

On the bright side, remember how Abaddon was burned, but a demon used a spell to resurrect her meat suit? Max is a witch and he has that book of dark magic, so you never know... Rowena may be back.

It would be funny, if she ended right back in hell. Now she is one of her son's demons. I tell you like God, she's one of my guilty pleasures.
