Yeah - they're kinda oblivious in that this is OUR time slot sort of way. But hey, this is where investing in that TiVo HD in September pays OFF, baby!

I would hope so, but its pretty obvious the CW hates Supernatural, they won't promote the show, force the creators to write in two shitty female characters, lighten up the look of the show and tone down the darkness of it. I will watch, but in hope that things get better.

Not to be a hater, but this season has really sucked so far. I'm in to watch, but if it doesn't turn around soon I'll just wait for the season 3 dvd.

Damn! They had no competition last Thursday and could've given the show higher ratings than usual if people looking for something to watch tuned in.

But instead by running the new episode against the premiere of LOST, it's just going to get hammered in the ratings because both shows have basically the same target audience.

The group in charge of scheduling at the CW should have stakes run through their hearts and then their remains salted and burned!

Well, today does begin February sweeps so I don't think we can bag on CW too harshly. Everybody has holding what's left of existing shows (if anything) until this month.

Thought on the episode itself...

- Why was Dean so eager to kill Ruby simply because she's a demon when earlier this season (in episode "Sin City") he was sympathic to that hot demon he was trapped in a basement with (enough so, that he was somewhat upset when Sam killed her without a thought). Just a bit inconsistent for the character.

- I'm catching on to the show's unwritten rule that the hottest girl(s) in the room are demons.

- ...Speaking of which, hot demon-on-demon catfight!

- Liked Ruby's whole part in the story, particularly finding out why she is helping them. (...But I still suspect that she might turn on them at some point).

- Dean's killing of the bad demon was impressively brutal



BTW, how many episodes are left in the can?

Finally got around to watching this. A cool twist how they revealed that every demon was, at one point, a human.

I'm beginning to think that Dean is in fact going to die and go to hell, but Ruby is going to find a way to bring him back as a demon with his human memory intact. That would actually be kinda cool. Human Sam and Demon Dean tooling around fighting evil.
