Cain's hair! All the emotions, Dean admitting to Sam that he's scared. Cas's blade slipping out of his sleeve when Cain threatens Dean, Cain's curse (all I could think was yay! Now we know Dean won't kill Sam cuz Cain says he will!) and Sam's last line speaking volumes in his facial expressions if not the actual words, mirroring all of Dean's facial expressions earlier so we can really SEE how these guys are suffering, even if they don't talk about it.

Also Rowena. She is just wonderful! I could listen to her all day!

Haha! Cain't hair was epic!!! I loved Cain - Timothy O was perfect. So commanding and convincing as Cain.

It was a solid episode. The directing was outstanding, as were the performances. There was a lot going on. I think it's going to take me a while to absorb it all…

Brilliant episode, pretty much perfect in my book. ♥

[etoile-etiolee.livejournal.com]

Great episode. The only thing that didn't work for me were the Crowley/Rowena scenes. This storyline is soooo boring.
But yes, it was an great episode, the music score and the cinematography were fantastic, and long live to Timothy Omudson's awesomness (beard, hair, talent, eveyrthing)

First time this season I checked the first choice on your poll. I loved this episode for the boys and the point made they would stop at nothing for each other. I've missed these Winchesters.

The angels/demons/witches were only a blip on my screen, not paying them much attention lately but even they can't influence my adoration for Sam and Dean right now. Berens outdid himself for brother fans.

Looks like the big bads are finally coming into play in the coming epis, about time!

It's the first time in a long time I've gone for awesome. I will admit that I don't like the Rowena/Crowley scenes, but for the promise of Crowley returning to dark, I will forgive it. I thought Timothy Omundsen kicked it out of the park as Cain. Now, I want some real darkness to descend when the hiatus is over - some evil Crowley and some Sam going dark for Dean along with MOC Dean would do nicely.

This was my feeling too, about Rowena and Crowley. And I love those characters! Honestly, Mark Sheppard seemed really lifeless in this episode, not sure why. But that's my only major gripe. Apart from that...KITTENS AND ICE-CREAM AND CHAMPAGNE AND WARM CUDDLES!

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

WHAT ANNIE SAYS. EXACTLY.

[frozen_delight]

I agree! ♥ I'm utterly in love with it - in an omg-i-got-punched-right-in-the-feels-how-am-i-meant-to-survive sort of way.

[frozen_delight]

It's funny - this episode was the first one where I didn't mind Rowena's presence. :)

[kassidy62.livejournal.com]

I THIRD THIS.

[ladykorana.livejournal.com]

I totally agree about the fab directing. I particularly loved the shots from the backseat of the Impala.

[sam-dean-lover.livejournal.com]

my grade's a C. it was ok

[fufaraw]

I liked most of it, I did. But I remembered I'd forgotten to do something during the longest Crowley-Rowena scene. I didn't bother to pause the feed while I took care of it, and missing whatever part of that scene didn't bother me a bit.

Cain was spectacular, though. And I couldn't take my eyes off either Dean or Sam throughout.

[jessm78.livejournal.com]

LOL, I agree with all of those who are mentioning Cain's hair. This episode was pretty intense IMO. Dean admitting to Sam that he's scared, his reaction when Cain tells him he's going to end up killing Sam, Sam hugging Dean and Dean just falling into him.... GUH so many emotions.

And the end, with Sam telling Cas that Dean's in trouble. :( I am kind of scared that Dean will try and kill Sam at the end of the season, though I really, really hope not. They've cheated destiny before, so I'm hoping that if it ever gets to that point, it'll be like Swan Song when Samifer was being up Dean and then Sam broke through.

[chomaisky.livejournal.com]

I want more Sam in an supposedly important episode like this.

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

So strong! Slightly light on Sam, for I'll forgive that because I adored that end scene, with Sam seeing straight through all of Dean's bravado. Heartbreaking in a beautiful way.

Timothy was awesome and I'm actually gutted that he's gone.

They're hinting at future dark Crowley and I'm ready for that. I'm more excited and more nervous about the future than ever before, but boy, am I looking forward to it!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Everyone's raving about this one! It was well written and directed. And had some lovely SamnDean moments. :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yes, it was a very strong episode. :) the Crowley/Rowena scenes didn't interest me that much either. I think Rowena adds a nice spark - and the actors have a nice chemistry -, but I do find myself switching off in those scenes.

I have to admit the music kind of bothered me - as in, I really noticed it. I'm not exactly sure why. During the fight scene it felt incongruous to what was on the scene. Almost like elevator music in a fight scene. I'll have to watch it again because there's been a lot of praise for the music and I figure that's because it was going something deliberate. I don't know. I'm still trying to work it out. I've never noticed the music as much as I did in this episode.

Timothy O was outstanding. He really made this episode for me. He was mesmerising. :)

[meus_venator]

I'll Second this!

Omundsen was kick butt awesome as Cain, I didn't want him to die, he was so compelling, I wanted another chance to see the darkness and intensity he brings to the show with his relationship with Dean.

Somehow the Rowena/Crowley scenes are not doing it for me. I find them, like Castiel's road trip boring. I LOVE Crowley and normally he's to be looked forward to, but in combination with Rowena, not so much.

[bluestar3317.livejournal.com]

I've watched it 3 times already. Does that make me lame? (if it does, i don't care)

Yes! I loved this episode! Jensen's performance was outstanding. Jared was great as well. And I loved the music they used, as it helped make it pretty darn epic. ;)

[vyperdd.livejournal.com]

Ditto!!!!

[chomaisky.livejournal.com]

I feel like Sam only reports to Dean and gets talked to. I know that's been going for a long while and I shouldn't got used to it already, but the two important moments, one where Dean says he's scared and one Dean gets hugged by Sam, we don't have reactions from Sam... yeah Jensen's an excellent actor but, you know... maybe it's just me!

[vyperdd.livejournal.com]

It ain't just you. I feel exactly the same about Sam's silence and, it's almost like he's invisible too much of the time.

To add to your two excellent examples, I'd throw in not seeing how Sam was reacting to having to listen to Dean and Cain fighting and not being able to do anything to intervene, to protect his brother. Even when we do see Sam after the fight, he looks way too calm. I would have liked him to rush straight to Dean, to check him over, to see how badly he's hurt.

I've come almost resigned to the fact that SPN is now the Dean show with Sam as a secondary character but yet can't help but get my hopes up that maybe, just maybe, Sam (and Jared) will be given something substantial to do in the last 9 eps of this season that will go some way to restoring the balance we used to see in the earlier seasons.

[chomaisky.livejournal.com]

Yeah and that made the fight less dangerous than it should be. This discrepancy jolted me so hard I couldn't fully sympathise with Dean.
I know that I really shouldn't be saying things like this, because it's something that's been discussed much before, especially after tebtosca's comment on Carver, but it's so obvious in this episode I just can't ...
Hugs!!!!
