A Guy’s Point Of View — What the heck man?! I wanted some horseman action…. This epi was all talk no bueno..
One thing I really didn’t like was that they so happened to find the demon who killed Jess. Idk I just didn’t care one bit. Sam should be totally over by now it was YED hatched up plan and he’s gone now so drop it.. While we’re on Sam talk, I think the writers are trying to show us once again how Sam is fragile, not strong as they pushed it, err force fed us to believe it. Sam is always thinking that he’s strong enough but how many times has he gotten in trouble it seems like he never ever learns his lesson, and now it’s gonna bite him in the ass once again! lol I think it’s especially funny that a demon doesn’t even trust Sam. That would be like being a crazy in prison not even the badest felon would mess with an insane-o lol
Onto Crowley. He’s another example of the past repeating itself and a lesson never learned! Never trust a demon! I know he’s just gonna backstab everyone like Ruby. I don’t buy for one minute that Crowley wants to trap Lucifer. If Luci wanted Crowley dead he would’ve already had done so… He did just wipe out all other gods last week lol so what’s one more demon? I think Crowley has a plan to get both boys and bobby handed to Luci on a silver platter and what better way to get close by helping them find these rings? lol And with both bros handed over, Crowley could stand to be Luci’s number one in the end. Screw all that he’ll wipe out all the demons, it’s a good reason to believe it but like I said earlier don’t trust’em lol. The only way to get Sam to break is to break his family and since Dean is outta the question being forever immortal the next best thing is to go after Bobby and yeah bingo was his name-o lol
I’m also thinking I don’t like the Coins either… its like a supernatural GPS LOL and I’m betting it’s probably going to show up again…
HELL HOUNDS! Its probably the cheapiest cheesiest fight I’ve ever seen but I’m still diggin’ it! LOL I can just see the FX artist say “hmm how do we show an invisible demon dog fight? and still make it totally kick ass.. OH I know lets just move crap around and splatter cg blood!” but it totally worked lol!
Oh and Nevahda? -Its just odd hearing it that way Lol
Short, sweet and to the point! PeAcE OuT!!

#520 Review By Jenny
A Girl’s Point Of View — This episode really was just like a staging set up for the next two… I was expecting more from it as there were only 03 episodes left before the finale… Anyways… The whole episode was clearly centered on how to get Pestilence’s location… And hey I get, it takes time to find the guy… But I sorta wanted to see some ‘Horsemen-Related’ action last night, I wanted to see the boys facing Pestilence in that episode… And according to the #521 teaser, in next week’s episode the boys are facing Death… So I’m sorta wondering about when they’ll find the time to kill Pestilence… Maybe they’ll kill both of these dudes (Death & Pestilence) in the same episode (Next Week’s episode?!), how awesome would that be?! Anyways…
I’m gonna start off with my fave secondary character of that episode:
Crowley- Can this demon be more awesome? I mean seriously I’ve never liked any demon the same way that I like him! ‘THEY ATE MY TAILOR!‘ hahaha!!! I’m guessing this is TOTALLY connected to the way Mark Sheppard plays that character… What can I say? I’m a total Mark Sheppard fan!! Anyways… Even though that’s weird I gotta admit he’s the only demon that I TRUST! I know he wants Luci back in his cage and I’m SURE he’ll do anything to help the boys succeed in their mission… Not because he likes them, no… He clearly doesn’t care about them… But he knows he needs these guys to put Luci back in his cage, in order to protect his own ass… So like I said, I’m sure he’ll do anything to help them! Oh and what about the deal with Bobby… He told Bobby that he’d give him the location of Death in exchange for the “temporary” loan of his soul… Now the 64-million-dollar question is: Should Bobby Seal a Deal With Him? He said it’d be temporary, that he’ll give it back… But can we really trust him on that? I’m willing to say yes, but I’m scared for Bobby… I mean it’s Uncle Bobby’s soul we’re talking about right now… Is that a risk we’re willing to see him take?! I don’t know actually… Now I wanna talk about the hellhounds scene: I LOVED Crowley’s Hellhound ‘Mine’s bigger!‘ haha! THE DUDE’S GOT STYLE! I think that’s enough about Crowley…
Brady- Eric Johnson blew me away! Loved him! I couldn’t help but smile each time that he was! I also liked his theory about Sam… So… Do we think he’s right? Do we think Sam can’t stand the demons only because he feels like he has a lot in common with them?! Speaking of Sam…
Sam- What an amazing actor! I mean com’on have you guys seen how he was completely going outta control when he saw the ‘Brady’ dude? That was awesome… Oh and what about his plan? He wants to control Lucifer inside of his meat suit? Is he f***ing insane? How does he intend to do that, seriously? I agree with Bobby, he’s already having trouble controlling himself, so how can he possibly imagine -even for a second- that he’d be able to control Luci inside of his body? It doesn’t make a lick of sense… BTW- I loved that scene! You know the one where Sam & Bobby are talking on the phone about this plan? It was pretty intense!
And last but not least…
Dean- The scene where he’s running away from the hellhound has instantly brought me back to episode #316 “NRFTW”! It was painful to watch! And it’s all Krip’s fault! He’s the one who traumatized me with the hellhounds 02 seasons back! Haha! Ever since that f***ing episode aired, I’ve been terrified each time I saw Dean and heard the barking hellhound in the same scene! Oh and I also liked the scene where he decided to go with Crowley without Sam ‘What can I say? I believe the guy!‘ I was like ‘Yeah I get it Dean, I trust the dude too!‘ haha!
Gotta run! This was a good episode, I just wish there were more action scenes in it…
See ya next week guys

Not much to say here…great set up episode.
Hello Pestilence..calling Pestilence..I expected to see him here. But now I am wondering if Death will hand over Pestilence as well, if the terms are right. This is going to be one expensive deal. Bobby’s soul, that may be part of it. If Bobby says yes, he won’t get it back. Why? Crowely.
Speaking of the devil…LOVE HIM!! How good was ‘They ate my tailor’? My second favorite line outside of IATPC.
So, is anyone else worried that they may not actually finish all this up in the next two episodes?
I am! But they said they’ll end up the Angels/Lucifer/Demons/God in the end of the season, so who knows?!
wasnt too impressed with the episode, AGAIN (i guess thats still because the 100th was crap in my eyes)
seriously, does Sam (and Bobby) actually think they can trick the Devil? LOL. Does Sam really think Lucifer is gonna fall for it? LOL.
and as to the story arch ending – as I said before, I think it will end with Dean & Sam saying yes. and I pray that it will cuz I would lose faith in the show if they actually manage to defeat the freakin DEVIL.
Totally agree here with you. All this time struggling with saying yes or no and finally no??? It’s like, that’s all? everything was a dream? At least one of them should say YES: Sam (with ALL his story behind… please, the boy has to say yes to Luci)
yay someone agrees with me
i think if they make someone say yes, then i think itll be sam, but he’s so determined to make things right, he’ll say yes by accident (like when trying to get luci back into the cage). i doubt he would do it by choice, because he wouldnt wanna disappoint dean again. but i can still see dean sayin yes, he seems more realtically thinkin than anyone else.
It was an ok episode. Parts I really like & parts I didn’t. I think now I’m more on epi was good in moving story along. Crowley is a great demon, he nails everything he does. Only Mark Shepard could make that part and the episode work somewhat with what he was given. The same goes for Jensen, Jared and Jim. They were great in spite of the script. I love Crowley period. Loved his hellhound. First time I was happy to see (hear) a hellhound. Never thought I’d say that statement. Can’t wait for next two.
They have to say yes. Could Dean make a deal with Mikey..say dean says yes and Michael puts Lucifer back in his cage?
he could make a deal to save bobby’s soul?
hahaha id love that.
it would make so much sense for something to go wrong at the end. killing lilith to stop luci — ooopsie now he’s free; trapping luci in the cage to stop the apoc. — oopsie, now sam is evilicious
OK, can’t believe that I did not ask this before NOW…but who the hell IS Crowely? He has his own Hellhound…..any guesses?
@Niki I’m guess he’s one of those Demon Dealers because I thought dealers collect with hell hounds but Meg had her own hounds too so idk maybe just an upper level demon.. what you think Niki
Well, if I were a betting woman, I would bet that he is a bit more than what he seems. Is he just a Crossroads Demon? Nah. He has a house, a tailor, I mean HAD a tailor. Could he be Azazel’s replacement? The new demonic “leader”. Lucifer would throw a serious wrench in the plans of any major player trying to take over. This guy likes humanity the way it is. And..ding, ding, he had the Colt. Remember back in Season 3, in MM, the witchcraft demon said the new leader was rising in the west and that HE did not like Sam very much. What if she was never talking about Lilith. The boys assumed it was Lilith and Ruby confirmed it. Also, Casey in SC seemed to allude to their being 2 camps – believers and non-believers (in Lucifer).
So, Crowely could be legit. He wants Lucifer out….but why is the real question.
There not their…
The thing bout MM and the HE…The writers RARELY screw up dialogue and Lilith was in the works from the start. I think that we have met our arch villian for next season.
wow u do know this show by heart, dont you? you know what, you could totally be right
I have one of those sick memories…and this is what I use it for…
