Since this article was published, another panther was struck and killed, bringing the total to 25 killed by vehicles out of 31 total deaths.

Excerpt from this story from the Tampa Bay Times:

A 10-year-old female on a county road in Hendry County.

A 2-year-old male in Collier County.

A 4-year-old female on a busy Interstate 75 in Broward County.

These Florida panthers were each killed by cars this year in one of the deadliest spans for the endangered animals since 2018. Through Friday, 30 panthers had died, and 23 were caused by car strikes, state data show.

Four of the year’s panther deaths are listed as “unknown,” and a male panther was hit in February by a train in Glades County.

The most recent panther death was announced Monday night by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The remains of a male panther, likely 3 or 4 years old, were collected Friday on the side of State Road 29 in Collier County, the agency announced. That was just five days after a female was found dead off Interstate 75 in Lee County.

The suspected cause of death for both panthers? Car strikes.

The number of panthers killed by vehicles so far this year is similar to recent years, with 25 deaths in 2022 and 21 a year before that. The peak was 33 car strike-related deaths in 2016, according to agency spokesperson Lisa Thompson. Historically, as the panther population increased, the number of panthers killed by collisions with vehicles has also increased — but it’s hard to draw conclusions with a year’s worth of data, she said.

Environmental groups were quick to attribute the grim milestone to the blistering growth and development in southwest Florida, where the vast majority of the estimated remaining 200 panthers roam the wild.

2x16, Road Kill

Critical theory: Hope, and what it means to haunt. 

Discussion question(s): Once again, how does this connect to our themes and motifs? How would we compare this episode to the two that we’ve already discussed this season (No Exit and Playthings) in which the ghost is not ‘killed’? Why is this episode more satisfying than those (particularly Playthings)?

Key quotes: Sam, “Some spirits only see what they want.”; Sam, “Doesn’t really matter, Dean. Hope is kind of the whole point.”

Further reading: Change of pace, not all ghosts are evil (@cockworkangels)

The Winchesters are ghosts themselves. (@mornyavie) (slight caveat of. As discussed in 2x01 Dean was going to move on, he had accepted his death and was going to go with Tessa.) 

Even if it is full of love, all a ghost can do is haunt. (@baneofambitions)

Discussion: A good episode. We liked the structure, like an episode where we kind of arrive midway through the hunt. Iga thought Molly was the ghost as soon as the car was gone, but then doubted. Unfortunately Sam had some points this episode—she wasn’t ready to know, and hope is the whole point 

Julio, “haunting is when your presence is unrequested and disturbs the peace of other people.” and ���some people don’t even know they’re haunting, alive people also, and they can make that choice.” 

Re: Playthings. Gives us a new view on Playthings, because maybe reuniting was their way of finding peace, and they could stay because that’s all they wanted in the end. But this was different. Molly had autonomy, and had the choice to move on. She also in a way made the choice to stay. Dean was given the choice in 2x01. Maybe all the ghosts make that choice, and maybe that’s why Dean doesn’t have much sympathy for them.

Re: reading 2. We’ve talked about Dean’s need to take a holiday, but because of Sam’s insistence to stay (his refusal to let go) he has to stay. 

A nice addition to the motif of ‘are all supernatural beings evil’ 

Iga: She wasn’t evil, but she did cause the deaths of others by being unable to let go. She did hurt others, but her crime was loving her husband too much. 

Another motif of being ‘stuck.’ They’re both stuck. Dean with the job, Sam with his destiny. Dean with Sam, Sam with Dean. The ghosts are stuck, the supernatural creatures are stuck. 

Finale speculation. Lot’s of thoughts. Maybe Dean has to choose between killing Sam and dying (he chooses to die, of course). Maybe they let something awful happen because the only way to stop it is killing Sam. Revisiting Dean finding a way to swap his life for Sam. Many options. 

Star student: Juice on haunting.
