Castiel's back !

9.5

By Elendil, May 14, 2012

At last we see our Castiel. Not the sel centered dick he's been since the beginning of this season, but the funy angel who whatchs porn and tries to understand it. To be honest, I really don't like this new season, but I'm watching it because of Castiel.

It was a terrific episode with some good laughs from castiel who finds a thrill in watching porn and dean mocks him for having a boner, altogether it was a really good episode with a surprise appearance from meg and a twist at the start where you wonder which person is the crowly. i rate this episode a ten out of ten, because it was funny and it had a great sense of suspence and it made you wonder what was up with castiel, with his odd makeout session with meg, keep up the great work writers of supernatural!moreless

The best

10

By UltraStrata, Oct 21, 2011

This episode is, I believe, the best one of this season. The winter finale was awesome, but I think that this one topped it. If it had a problem, I believe that it was the manner in which the Alpha Shifter was killed off. This show seems to have started the fan-unfriendly habit of building up the hype and then killing it (in the most anti-climactic way possible) with one discussion or one five-minute scene (like how in season 5, Dean was played up as the true vesse, and in the end, Adam was made it in an offscene dialogue or how the Michael/Lucifer thing was made to be so important and in the end, it was solved by a discussion from Dean). No more war preparations for him, I suppose (though it would have been good to see what he looked like in reality for once). The demon alliance with Sam and Dean made for a very good episode and throwing an ANGEL in the mix and setting it in monster Gitmo was SPECTACULAR work on the part of the writers. The boys have the demon-killing knife back (though I don't recall how they happened to lost it). Several plot strides were made. Sammuel is revealed to be a self-serving butt who's willing to sacrifice his own grandsons for his daughter back. He's now out there somewhere (perhaps in hiding because of Dean's threat) and likely doesn't know that Crowley is dead and that the demon will never be able to make good on his deal to bring back Mary. Crowley is now officially dead (as is Christian [who I never really liked anyway], who Dean shanked in hilarious fashion), a move that I thought Bobby should have made the moment he had oqwnership of his soul back. And finally, Sam has made his decision regarding his soul- he doesn't want it back. It seems that because of the likelihood that its mutilated state will kill him (because of how Michael and Lucifer are hate-banging it out of frustration and boredom), Sam has made the executive decision that he no longer wants his soul.... And we know how good he is at protecting what he wants. Let's see how this plays out next episode.moreless

Back on track!

I was so worried that Dean was going to start liking his Grandpa. I knew he was a bad guy from the first episode and I was hoping Dean saw that too! I loved when Dean told "Grandpa" that the next time he saw him that he would be dead. That is the old Dean the Hell defying rough neck that kicks a**, even his Grandpa's. Samuel will hopefully get his a** handed to him in one of the next few episodes. Then I will be fine with never seeing him or his nieces or nephews again. I was so happy that Dean and Sam's extend family are no longer going to be in the show. I hated the idea of Dean and Sam riding around, hunting with them. That would have sucked.moreless

Sam, Dean and Castiel try to find Crowley after they learn he can't get Sam's soul back.. they get some help from a familiar face as well

9.0

I think Supernatural might be immune to that whole theory that a show gets worse over time. Some people might still believe the earlier seasons of this show are better than its later ones, but personally, I think they're all on an equal level. This season started off slow and has built into just as interesting of a plot as any other season before it.

In this episode, Sam and Dean continue working for Crowley but grow to doubt that they'll ever get Sam's soul back. Dean's ready to give up but everything changes when Meg, an old familiar face that stretches all the way back to Season 1, returns to try and force the brothers to give Crowley's location. They don't know it, of course, but they realize they need Meg's help as much as she needs their help. So once again, the brothers team up with a demon, this time to destroy another more powerful demon.

And there's plenty of supporting cast here. We get Castiel, the closest thing the show has had to another main cast member, to try and help them sneak into Crowley's base, which they learn the location of via Samuel, their grandfather, who is one of the most irritating hindrances the show has seen to date. Mitch Pileggi is a fantastic actor, and I love him in The X-Files, but boy, he gets on your nerves in this show. His reasoning for doing everything is honorable, but Dean is right: he's choosing demons over family, even if it is family he's trying to save by doing so.

By the end of the episode, things are in turmoil: Sam decides he doesn't want his soul back because there's the possibility that it's damaged and will destroy him for good, Castiel disappears once again, not before killing Crowley, who was one of the best guest stars the show had. This season has evolved pretty quickly, from one that felt hesitant and lackluster to one filled with classic episode after classic episode. Let's hope the last episode before the winter break will be just as good.moreless

- Alpha Shapeshifter: It's Purgatory. All I know is that I go there when I die. It's not like I can draw you a map.
  Crowley: I happen to know you can.
  Alpha Shapeshifter: You're wrong.
  Crowley: My sources are unimpeachable. You're the father of your entire species. You're really not pulling off this dumb blonde act. I hope you appreciate how much effort I've gone to... to find something that can actually hurt you. Yeah, my tinkering has got several lesser shifters their lives. Iridium. Rarer than hell. Would have been cheaper to drop a castle on you, but I think we all agree, worth it. So... you start talking, or I start chopping off all the bits that stick out.

  Dean: Whoa. Look at that, Sam. Demon trying to be funny.
  Sam: Oh, is that what just happened?
  Crowley's Demon: Goodnight, girls.
  Dean: Wait, wait, hold up. Are we ever going to see Crowley again, or he is just going to keep sending his demon extras to pick up his laundry?
  Crowley's Demon: I'm sorry. I know you're speaking, I see your lips moving, but I can't understand what you're saying because I don't understand Little Bitch!

  Castiel: It was there.
  Dean: You don't watch porn in a room full of dudes. And you don't... talk about it. Just turn it off! (Castiel looks down) Now he's got a boner.
