Agreed about the overall ep. Better. Not great, but much better than the last two, and much more logical, which helps. I feel like they're missing the heart of the show a little bit - which is Dean, ironically. By cutting him off from Sam and Cas they're making everything feel empty. I hope this is on purpose and will pay off when all the lies come to light, but part of me thinks it's just shitty writing and they won't take advantage of it. :(

I think when angels get skewered they cease to exist. That's always been my impression before. I want to know where they go when you use that symbol on them. :D

Yeah, I sort of boggled when Crowley did that too - I know they kept referencing his breakdown in the previews, but I wasn't buying it. I don't know that I'm buying it now, either (I prefer my Crowley clever), but it will be interesting to see where this goes.

I love Cas in this ep a ridiculous amount. I didn't really get the point of the whole Abbadon thing, but I don't caaaaaaaaare because ABBADON. :D :D :D :D

ABADDON! Yes, we didn't really need to see her in this ep, aside from being reminded that she exists, but it made me happy. :)

I don't know that I'm buying it now, either (I prefer my Crowley clever), but it will be interesting to see where this goes Right? Like, I'm hoping at best that he thinks he's putting one over on them somehow with that move, but will secretly get hoisted on his own petard. Cross our fingers.

I want to know where they go when you use that symbol on them. YES! That too. Because I think the one thing we can say definitively in this canon is that no one doesn't go anywhere, you know? You always go somewhere.

I feel like they're missing the heart of the show a little bit - which is Dean, ironically. By cutting him off from Sam and Cas they're making everything feel empty. Good point. Yeah, since so much of what keeps the show hanging together is the emotional threads spinning out from Dean, seeing him shut down and lie is totally what's making it feel cold. Which feels like probably something they've done in previous seasons but I have amnesia about everything that happened after ~Swan Song.

Ha, Sam did kind of have chemistry with Crowley here. It's interesting to remember occasionally how much Jared is overshadowed sometimes. Not to mention how little he has to work with, continuity-wise, with Sam. Sam is always someone else or affected somehow; he's never just himself. I feel like I underappreciate Jared sometimes.
