Crowley thinks the boys are getting dumber due to blows on the head!
Our theory has been vindicated!

Hey! Neither Sam nor Dean whined about their issues last night! YAY!! Though now we finally see what the Mark of Cain does and apparently it makes Dean's arm glow with the same CGI they used on Sam during the trials last season... And also makes him snarl and breathe heavy and have ominous music play when he holds it. Esp. after he knocks someone's head off.
Hopefully this will turn into something more interesting later... But I still won't be holding my breath. I'm assuming the Mark and the blade will make him want to kill Sam at some point in time. Except they've been having the bros piss and moan at each other so much, it wouldn't really take any old timey Biblical mojo to make Dean want to slay his brother. I wonder if Cain will pop up again and tell Dean, "Yeah, Abel was just as whiny. Go for it, kid!"
They have so much potential with the Men of Letters (surely they weren't ALL wiped out and left no legacies to pop up the way Sam and Dean did) But whenever they revisit the MOL lore, it always turns out more lame and complicated instead of how cool it should be.
I can't believe they've spent so much of the Season with so little Abbadon!
And is Crowley all cured of his addiction now? If so, well that was fast. So being human to a demon means crying over Casablanca. And being human to an angel means eating toothpaste and complaining about having to pee. Good to know, show.

I'm still trying to figure out just how Dark!MarkofCain!Dean is any darker than Hell's Best Torturer!Dean.

I'm still trying to figure out just how Dark!MarkofCain!Dean is any darker than Hell's Best Torturer!Dean. I've just given up trying to make heads or tails of this show anymore. What's happening, now? Abbadon's taking over hell and the WHINEchesters are supposed to care because...? OH WAIT. Then there's the angel stuff that's... Where? And the MoL thing get even lamer as time wears on? I'm just trying to find a storyline I can care about. haha. I haven't done that since... Wow. Show is now making me pine for the Leviathan days? Gawd.

Damn, they actually had a good episode last night! Sam got to do something proactive for a change, and interacted with the guest stars, Crowley was deliciously evil, and I loved seeing Henry again.
The only downside was too much focus on Dean's emo manpain and boozing.

Finally! A genuinely GOOD episode!! And I actually missed it on the night and had to watch it the next day. Hmmm... maybe that' the key. Skip it and it will be good! LOL!
But anyway, I loved the Grandpa Winchester flashbacks and the backstory on Josie. It's odd, but I always thought she got possessed the night of the MOL Massacre- it makes much more sense that she would have been possessed long before. Though, no demon warding in the MOL club? Damn they really suck, don't they?
Sam was smart for a change. LOL!Exorcism App!! Beautiful! Though he's done lost another phone. I loved the flashbacks to Soulless Sam (God how I miss Soulless Sam!) and heck, just the acknowledgement of a past plotline coming to make sense and be helpful to the current plot. Someone actually took the time to watch the Show they're writing for I see!
And even though Dean was super mopey/ pouty- I loved him with Crowley. Crowley's constant innuendos are so spot on and fun. Never kill him off, guys! Dean, though, was mildly dumb, which is disappointing. The scared wittle newbie hunter was SOOOO obviously a demon. Though I like to tell myself Dean knew and was just letting Crowley 'think' he had the upper hand... But at the same time, I don't want them to get the upper hand on Crowley- 'cause I don't want them to kill him. I don't want Dean being dumb all the time either though. The boys can be super smart and still tricked by the likes of Crowley. So I hate when the writers keep making them extra dumb and that's why the bad guy wins.
Still, overall, excellent episode back to old school SPN goodness which has not reared its head in a very long time. Is this the episode Misha directed? If so, he's awesome. The pacing was great, nice close ups and angles. It was almost like an old Kim Manners ep (RIP). So if this was Misha's directorial debut, they need to hire him for more episodes. Like lots more! Castiel doesn't do much anyway so it's not like it would be that hard to pull double duty.
Next episode- well I won't spoil the plot but it looks like there might be a flash of Nekkid!Dean. That's rare!

I've blocked the Leviathan/Dick (haha clever) season out completely. Not gonna lie, the Dick jokes always made me simultaneously chuckle and roll my eyes. I think at least something was happening at the time? haha.

UGH! This show! I won't go into spoilers in case some folks haven't watched it yet- because there is a pretty major *surprise!!*. That said, the SURPRISE was something that made me oh so happy for the first half of the episode- like near Tom Cruise couch jumping happy... But by the end of the episode I was confused, disillusioned and thinking my time would have been better spent watching 'Sharknado'. Yeah.
Why do I bother with you SPN?!?!? And why you gotta do something SOOOOOOO awesome and happy making only to take it all away again and go right back to sucking within the span of 40 minutes. OY!
