I like these little episode previews that the CW has been posting. I wish more shows/networks would do this.

Looks like a Cas centered episode.

Looks good. But they better not off Cas when all is said and done.

Really loved tonights episode. It was a great way to wash the taste of shit left behind by tonight's episode of Smallville. I really like how they tied everything together but I still feel they should have put all this front and centre throughout the series. Eve and Gramps just weren't interesting enough to carry a whole season. Really looking forward to the 20th.

I don't see how they could. I'm sure when they first started this thing the brothers were what it was all about but not anymore....the Cas character is just as important to the show for me now as anyone in terms of keeping me coming back for more...of course I would still watch but it would be like killing off one of the brothers to me (and this is coming from someone who just recently got into the show) but as always.....who knows.
Loved tonights show.....it stood on its own and was a very quick hour the 20th can't get here fast enough.

Both last week's and this week's episodes have really improved this season immensely with the surprise twist back towards Crowley and now about Castiel's deal with him. This season has finally started coming into focus and seems to be setting up a great season finale.

There's one very good reason this episode was so great:
Written and directed by Ben Edlund. He really is the savior of the show at this point. Poor Sera Gamble.

I think the first half of the season was far too rocky. The second half has been much better. But the highlights have been the Edlund episodes.

Good episode and I'm looking forward to the finale.
I'm still out next year though. This season was mostly bad and a real chore to get through.

Reminds me of when what's-her-name took over Buffy. The two female show runners I am aware of taking over a show I love, I have hated.

This was on OK episode but ultimately disappointing because they didn't set it up well over the season. They should have built up the war between the angles more and created a more focused and solid A storyline for the boys to follow while this played out behind the scenes. They didn't have to dropped hints of Cas's secret but they should have at least setup a few mysteries that his reveal would explain. And by that I mean more than just "What's Cas been up to?", but some unexplained events or mysterious characters. Speaking of which, they also need to get a few more recurring hotties on board after killing off so many of them the last couple of seasons.
