Rubys knife is bad rear end but I wish they had lost it. Around the time of the horsemen episodes they just started stabbing the gently caress out of every one and everything. It was around the "war" episode that I started to notice it.

So now they have the angel blade that can kill, demons, angels, reapers, probbaly shifters, vamps and everything else too. Everything is going to die.


What I really want to see is more non-American supernatural stuff. Get some monsters really steeped in voodoo. maybe some things from out in Japan, New Zealand, hell Mexico is right there, get some of those.

Right? They could get three seasons out of Southeast Asian monsters alone. Maybe an episode where they run into a Penanggalan and can't stop puking whenever they look at her.

An episode where they actually chase a beast and not a humanoid would be pretty cool, like a Phoenix or some equivalent (e.g., the Chinese Fenghuang). I'd think it'd sorta be like that episode of Fringe in Season 1 when they try to capture that Chimera.

I've always wished the brothers would leave the US, to really jumpstart a different feel to the show. Probably too late now.

How would they communicate with people? Leaving the US and still talking in perfect english with everyone is kind of not really leaving the US. Different locales are hard to do well, although I agree that foreign mythology would be nice to work in more.

They could probably ship over to Montreal for France scenes though.

You should check the 'Coyote's Kiss' novel. The boys got wrapped on an investigation regarding aztec deities and travel to Mexico. Pretty entertaining and uses souless Sam like a pretty clever plot point.

I liked this episode but then again I shamelessly love anything Supernatural.

So apparently there's a spinoff in the works and an episode this season will serve as a potential backdoor pilot? Please be awesome and give us plenty more seasons of awesomeness. :pray:

I'm still disappointed it's not Supernatural's Oz.

I don't think their cover would fly if they were posing as Federal Agent of (enter name of country here) with an American accent. Although bad foreign accents would be part of the fun (for us).

This would have been a terrible episode had it not been for a few clever jokes and gags that made the bad jokes and gags tolerable.

I think the answer to this is budgetary in nature. See for example how all monsters look human, including ones called "Leviathans."

Yeah I know (and that was actually to the show's benefit in the first two seasons; poo poo was scary!) but I'd like just one episode of something *really* weird doing something, even if you only rarely see it (like the Ice Warrior episode of Doctor Who from last season I guess).

I suddenly thought of a Dr. Who crossover where the boys spend the entire time trying to stab him and find out that Angel Blades do work on Daleks because they were one of Gods "side projects"

They could just be US agents overseas. NCIS and the FBI have lots of overseas offices. There was a serial murder case in Europe in the 90s where a German couple (I think, that's the country where it started, may not be their nationalities) was killing US and other tourists in Europe and stealing their passports and identities. That involved a lot of cooperation between police forces of different countries. Not that it'll ever happen...

Two overseas hunters pretending to be local law enforcement can help them "sell" it but they finally have their cover blown when they refer to themselves as Agents Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

Samandriel was played by the same dude that was the weird bug kid in "Bugs", and I think the girl who plays Robin in next week's episode is also another actor.

Recasting isn't uncommon, though it seems like they've been doing it a lot lately.

I figure "Steve" is an identity Dean forged for Castiel because there aren't many convenience stores that hire people right off the street with no social security. So he might have at least done that for him

No, Dean was surprised by the new name.

But seriously, not even bothering to set up Castiel with a place to live? They've always avoided mentioning how Sam and Dean pay for stuff outside of 'credit card theft' but making Castiel a transient with 1 set of clothes seems pretty extreme. I was thinking Dean would send him off with a satchel of weapons, holy oil, and a couple grand to get started but not kick him straight out to where Castiel is sleeping in a tool shed and owns 1 pair of clothes.

Also, am I the only one seeing the weird overtones to Castiel being the savior/messiah of the angels via sacrificing himself? The whole "the angels need someone" and his grace being used to power the spell indicate pretty heavily that even though Crowley says the spell is irreversible that's only what Metatron wrote and might not be true.
