Sigh. Last week's episode was so great- shoulda known they'd go straight back into suck mode! Not that this episode was so terrible in the grand scheme of things (no dog collars at least) But it was boring- and it could have been really cute with the whole Clue set up. At least the brothers were working together and Sam actually told the snobby dude that he liked his family (which is only Dean). But then they went back into 'Oh are you being all demon-like again?' 'No, I just wanted to kill the shifter extra hard! Fine, fine, everything's fine!' I don't care if Dean turns back into a Demon or if the MoC turns him into a murderous, soulless asshole... I just want the brothers to stop TALKING about it all the damn time! The final scene looked so weird and photoshopped- did anyone else notice that? Like they couldn't afford or ran out of time for a shot of the car driving down the road so they tried to CGI it... BADLY. It was weird and wrong looking. I agree on all counts (and had a devil of a time trying to remember all six weapons in Clue). I think the CGI money now to The Flash, 'cause I was reminded of the passing scenery from "Fan Fiction" episode. Aand now I can't get "flames, flames on the side of my face!" outta my head.

Another dull episode. At least it didn't have any boring Angel politics.
If that was meant to be a back-door pilot, I don't think that Kim Rhodes can pull off the lead role, and the actress playing Donna got really annoying really fast.

You know, if they had combined the set up of this episode (Jody and Donna meeting at a Sheriff's convention) with the premise of the Clue one (folks dropping dead at preordained gathering so everyone's a potential victim and a suspect!!) they might have had a pretty good episode.
Ridiculous amount of set up of dick Doug for him not to wind up with his throat torn out by the end (Then Jody and Donna could have REALLY bonded)
I'm pretty sure the barn they wound up tied up in was the same barn they wound up tied up in the Werewolf!Garth episode.
And were they hinting that Charles Manson was a Vampire? I was thrown off because when Dean made a 'Burning Man' crack and the Vampire said 'No, Woodstock!' I totally thought she meant Woodstock '99. The actress they picked didn't have enough gravitas in her aura for me to believe she ever lived through the 60's so I didn't connect the Manson Family timeline at all! Not even with the Woodstock reference. Because that actress couldn't see her ancient hippie status well enough for my brain to believe the words she was telling me... and now I can't even remember exactly what she said about her dealings with 'Charlie'.
If it is a backdoor pilot, I can't see it making it past the pilot episode. Jody's a great character, but not a strong enough one to carry a whole series solo- and as for Donna... Well, they've already made a Fargo so... Nah uhh.

I don't ask for anything beyond Sheriff Jody surviving her encounters with the Winchester boys. She's the luckiest female on the show.

Pardon my double post, but a while ago I heard some internet rumblings of a Supernatural Christmas Album. As a proud owner of the Star Wars Christmas Album (on Vinyl!!) I at least perked my ears up a little. I should have paid more attention because it turns out it's actually just an album of Christmas songs that happen to feature SPN cast members singingSilly me, I was expecting stuff like 'Deck the Halls with Bags of Rock Salt!', 'Rockin' Around the Devil's Trap' and 'Here Comes Yellow Eyes', etc. So, I'm mildly disappointed... I can see why just the SPN cast singing would get the fangirls squealing, but I still see lots of missed opportunity for some true cheese here! (Off to hum 'What Can you Get a Wookie for Christmas When He already Owns a Comb')

Especially coming so soon after the "musical" episode.

Egads that was excruciating!
Sam got about 30 seconds of screen time, more boring Cas drama, and Dean turn evil again - what a surprise. The only good thing was Crowley's chagrin at his mother trying to sell him for only three pigs.

If ever there were a house full of men who deserved to be slaughtered, it was that house. Dean should be thanked.

If only SPN would make episodes like this all the time! They finally tied up a significant loose end and answered a long hanging fan question (so yeah, Jimmy Novak is in fact dead and Castiel's just wearing his pretty reassembled corpse). Loved the actress they got to play Claire! She had just the right amount of indignant sass without being annoying about it. The Mark of Cain got used in a good way- but I'm thinking the reason for Dean and Sam's upset isn't so much that those particular dudes didn't need killing- (they did) But fear of the Mark taking over and that Dean might again become something he doesn't want to become.
Now that said, since they have already shown us that what the Mark makes Dean become is a karaoke singing drunk with slightly more womanizing tendencies than Regular!Dean, it's hard to get too upset. But maybe there is some evolutionary track that Dean feels deep within and Karaoke!Deanmon would one day metamorph into some black eyed, winged terror that would make Lucifer crap his pants. *I'D* think that was completely hot and wonderful... but I could see how it would be a source of worry for the characters.
The Crowley/ Rowena stuff, I don't really care about right now. If they team up and do something awesome later, that'd be great. But right now, it's just demonic politics. Boring and tedious as angel politics except with more guts involved.
