    Yes, and it looked like they were going to get out of the life and survive, which was nice.

    On the other hand it bugged me a bit that yet another hunter we'd never heard of had Bobby's cellphone number, since the gang were supposed to have burned all their numbers months ago and be changing them frequently.

    And I didn't exactly get the point of the lunatic giving Dean an inspirational speech.

    I wonder what Dick is building. I hope it's nothing lame like a people abattoir.

    I was mildly amused by Gwyneth Paltrow being a Leviathan. Because, let's face it, we can all imagine hear eating a little plate of beans and sprouts, then swallowing Apple's nanny whole.

    So tonight it's meeting Eliot Ness.... in 1944.

    OK, I know Ness didn't die as soon Prohibition was over, but '44 still seems odd.

    I'm sure there will be important, plot-related reasons for Dean's time traveling. This is surely not just an excuse to have Jensen Ackles dressed up in a fedora and trench coat.

    Maybe Ness started hunting monsters once he couldn't mess with mobsters any more?

    That's my best guess.

    We'll see how it goes -- I almost think it would be funnier to have J. Edgar Hoover as a dedicated hunter, but maybe it wouldn't work, given all the resources he could bring to bear on the issue.

    Maybe it's the other way...Ness has to deal with Hoover ignoring monsters the way he ignored the Mafia, or maybe Hoover's some kind of demon himself.

    Well, that was fun. The "Bobby" woman was a nice touch, and it's always kind of fun when Dean geeks out.

    My wife and I had already commented on Dean using the computer for research, not porn, so it was extra funny when Sam mentioned it. (Isn't the smut "hentai" though, not just "anime"?)

    Still bugs me, though, that although they stay in abandoned houses to stay off the grid, apparently everybody still has their phone number.

    All in all, though, awesome.

    Not only did sheriff Jody show up, she survived the whole episode. Yay!

    I thought it was a fun episode, even though I feel like they've gone to the time travel well more than enough times. And it was nice to see Krycek again.

    I also like that there's quite a bit of consistency regarding god-killing - it always seems to be some kind of wooden stake + some kind of blood.

    Yeah, but they burned him -- of course, they've always got some recon around all the rules.

    So Dean finally gets some action again, and it turns Sam-gets-some-action bad. He can't catch a break.

    By and large, the episode left me kind of "meh". Nothing seriously wrong with it, but kinda pedestrian and predictable.

    And Dean didn't even call any of those bitches "bitches" that I noticed. What's that about?

    so apparently tonight it will be making fun of Chuck E. Cheese, and Sam's afraid of clowns?

    Those have got to be two of the laziest tropes on television, so I'm not optimistic. But we'll see, we'll see.

    Sam has always been afraid of clowns - they mentioned it way back in season 2. I think I saw an evil unicorn in the preview, too. So there's that.

    I don't know what I liked more - the evil unicorn or the shark in the ball pit. There were quite a few funny lines, but over all the episode was mostly random.

    And Lucifer's back next week! Yay!

    The unicorn with the rainbows streaming out of its butt was OK, and so was the off-the-cuff bit about Fred Savage being a Leviathan.

    Mostly though, yeah, a throw-away episode. Odd during Februrary sweeps.

    There was no decent explanation of how Mr Sensitive developed his powers, and the throw-away Canadian actors of the week seemed more than usually weak.

    Killed time, and that's about it. I still say Chuck E. Cheese jokes and riffs on grown men being afraid of clowns are crutches for lazy writers.

    I think the idea-well must be running dry for those guys. I can't imagine that they ever thought the show would last this long.

    In fact, I think Kripke specifically intended for it to end after five years.

    Then the dump trucks full of money started showing up.

    Oh my god, it was a legitimately creepy episode. I don't even know how to respond to that any more.

    Better episode than most of the recent ones, but still frustrating that the season arc has been shuffled to the side for so long. Glad they finally remembered that they changed their phone numbers.

    How did the Devil's trap get on the ceiling?

    Finally a new episode tonight, but from the description, looks like another monster of the week. Are we ever getting back to the arc?

    Some time around the first Friday in May, I would guess. Can't say as I'm overly-keen on getting back to Leviathans vs. Borax, myself.

    Well, yeah, there's that. But I think it's bad form for them to admit, even tacitly, how lame their arc is.

    So the M.O.W. was a MacGuffin, and it really was an arc episode. Unfortunately, the arc still sucks.

    But...was that Cas in the next week preview...?

    So my power was all wonky last week and I didn't get to watch until now. That felt like two episodes that got squashed together because nobody felt like fleshing either one out. Which is sad because the ideas were decent, and the execution was so lackadaisical.

    I'd be bummed about Frank being mincemeat, but he was the one stupid enough to be a supporting character on Supernatural.

    I totally knew they wouldn't kill Cas permanently.

    Yeah, pretty much every episode lately has just been hitting the marks, nothing special.

    I guess we'll see what tonight brings.

    Well, I dunno. Still seemed kinda off.

    Why did the psych ward have worn out old beds like in a Forties movie?

    And it just my wife and me, or is that the worst actress to ever play Meg?

    Maybe the show's just rub its course for me, I dunno.

    Garth is actually a competent hunter, he just gets on the nerves of the Alpha types. it's funny.

    And yeah, Bobby's there. But somehow not detectable. I can't say I'm really looking forward to how they retcon that.

    I'll admit I cried like a bitch when Bobby showed up. I'm thinking he's lost a tooth, or bled on something somewhere along the line. Maybe even on that flask. Who knows?

    And one more lovely lady falls victim to Sam Winchester's Death Wang!

    I liked this episode, because I like haunted houses and creepy ghost things. Which reminds me, I ought to see if I can catch Cabin in the Woods this weekend.

    Jamie Luner is, indeed, lovely. I've had a crush on her for forever, and I was really excited to see her. I was also a little confused, since she came off as a recurring character, and I was really worried that I'd missed her along the way.

    Also, I highly recommend Cabin in the Woods.

    I missed last week's, and I'll be missing this week's. I'll have to have a mini-marathon to catch up on all the "exciting" "plot" "developments".

    I am really not digging the performance from the actress playing Meg, and am not sure if it's all her choices, or how she's being directed.

    It's like she's in a 40's movie playing a tough bar maid with a heart of gold, and everybody else is in a 2012 TV show where she's a slutty killer demon.

    Eh, I like her. She does have a bit of an odd cadence to her line delivery, but still. I'm liking the way they all play off of each other.

    So, who do we think is going to bite it (again) before the end of the season? I assume that Bobby's flask going to have to get salt-n-burned. They probably want to keep Krazy Kastiel around for next season.

    Yeah, probably. I'm having difficulty caring, to be honest.

    We're almost up to "Wayward Son", and they're going to have to really step it up tonight for the song to work at all.

    You'd think the rest of the world would notice that America was on drugs, though.

    I'm not gonna sweat it too much. It's just a convention of these shows, it's the only way they can work. Otherwise, the forces of evil would just go "Hey, the Chosen One never leaves the States. Let's just unleash Armageddon in Uzbekistan!"

    It's been the case on Supernatural for years now. All the demons and angels have had a bizarre fixation on backroads America.

    I have no idea what's happening in the finale tomorrow, I jsut want them to get the Impala out of mothballs.

    Castiel was really not kidding about that whole "not good luck" thing, was he? In fact, I'd go so far as to say that was putting it both mildly and gently.
