OMFG

MARK SHEPPARD--AKA BADGER--IS CROWLEY

I SHRIEKED

AND LOST THE ABILITY TO PUNCTUATE

BEELZEBUB HAS A DEVIL PUT ASIDE FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

...okay, seriously, what is up with Castiel's ridiculous voice? It's gone from endearing to annoying to lolworthy. "The demon Crowley is making a deal. Even as we speak, it's...going...down."

Or maybe I only lol'd because I'm reeeeally immature, or because I needed a lol and have a feeling there won't be a lot to lol at later in this ep, or because the image of Castiel, with his trench coat and intent expression, watching two guys make out just plain merits a lol.



...why did Dean just call Castiel "huggy bear"? Anyone?

If Crowley drives a Bentley I will absolutely die. He's already got the dapper duds, the gadgets, and the smoothness, if not the good cheekbones. I'm going to pretend this is canon!Crowley in a different host body. Yes.

Jo/LBD = the real OTP. Oh, and there's demon-slaying. But mostly Jo in a little black dress.

Crowley's too cool to step into a circle, guys. And don't go messing up his impeccable interior decorating.

So, Crowley wants them to kill Lucifer so Lucifer won't kill anyone else. And...is in Carthage (heh), Missouri. I will laugh myself sick the episode the Hardy Boys get wind of some apocalyptic shenanigans going on in a town not accessible via Impala. Why is all this going down in the Midwestern U.S.? Other than the fact that it's apparently got a dazzlingly homogeneous population.

God, the Harvelle ladies are badass. And Alona Tal's bone structure is to die for. Guh. Castiel doing shots reminds me of my first effort to get really smashed.

I don't like it when the boys make their voices all husky and gravelly to show their intensity. It makes it hard to take them seriously, especially after the cosplayers doing bad impressions of them.

Hai thar, Jo's ass. And hai thar, Jo's awesomeness. You don't need to fall into Dean's brawny arms just because the world's ending.

Awww, photo time! Way to not make anyone want to smile for the camera, Castiel.

Subtle, "Anti-God is Anti-American" poster. Nice shout-out to the fundie wankers, Kripke.

Wow, when Castiel said the town was full of reapers, I thought for he second he said Reavers. That would be kind of cool. Should I even bother asking why all the reapers are old white guys?

Meg's voice makes me want to punch her. So do her soliloquies. And I thought Azazel was her father, or was she only referring to Lucifer as her father in a metaphorical sense?

Jo with guns! Jo with...holy crap, lots of blood pouring out of her. I wonder what would happen if the team were ever to hole up in a general store that didn't conveniently stock salt.

Love how it's okay for Dean to show emotion for Jo now that she's hurt and on the way out. That's mighty...convenient.

So...Lucifer's going to unleash DEATH? Capslock-lovin' Death? Good times. I hope he's cool. War was kind of a letdown.

Ellen calling Jo by her full name never fails to make an impression.

"Everything we need?" *cue Sam's "a-dur?" face*

"To build a bomb, Sam." *cue Jo's "I sincerely hope you're only pretending to be this obtuse" face*

And maaaaan, it doesn't take a genius to see where this is going. Eep.

...yeah, I don't like this. What the hell is the point of it? Take the ass-kicking ladies and make them go up in flames? WHY? Because they aren't cool enough compared to the Winchesters? Because any recurring female presence is a threat to fans' self-insert fantasies? Because they're going to come back as ass-kicking angels or zombies or werehyenas? I'm not holding my breath on the last one. But hey, at least it's an honorable death and they're sacrificing themselves for the greater good, right? Ugh. Just ugh.

Just. I really hope Jo was dead before the bomb went off.

I am, however, glad that she didn't hook up with either of the Winchesters. That would have spoiled her a little bit for me. I need to know that some females are at least partially immune. I adored Pam, but even she was getting her grope on. And, right, she also freaking died.

This show needs to be less predictable. Have a genderfuck episode where a spirit turns them into girls or something. As opposed to, y'know, aging Dean or giving Sam the clap. Or would that kind of emasculation be a little too intense?

Awesome, Dean. You shot the devil and nothing happened. Way to go. This episode's lulz are, like, in the negative zillions now.

I know this has been said before, but...less speechifying demons, plz.

And finally, burning the photo seemed both unnecessary and in very poor taste. If it was meant to be a tribute, it was a crappy one and read a lot more like, GUISE, LET'S BURN THE LAST MEMEMTO WE HAVE OF TWO FELLOW HUNTERS WHO JUST BURNED TO DEATH.

And also doubling as a way to send very clear message: Jo and Ellen are out of the picture. Literally. Also unnecessary and in poor taste.
