I wasn't really taken with that episode I have to confess. I started writing up why and it sounded like sour grapes so I've decided to just say that even though it had some funny moments (Jensen and his physical comedy being a highlight) and a couple of cute bro moments (Sam ribbing Dean while watching the wrestling), overall it left me feeling pretty flat and disappointed (and a bit squicked tbh). It might be that I'm feeling flat today due to a cold, so I'll watching it again to get a better perspective (though I will have to skip the Lucifer & Crowley scenes and the torture scene *meep*)

Happy to discuss in comments if anyone wants to chat. :)

"Blank" sounds about right. As that was what my mind was like after watching. I know what the problem was but really can't find the words to explain it. I'll just remember this episode for Dean being funny in the wrestling ring. And with blinkers on I now look forward to the next ep. ;)

Yeah. It's the next day and thinking on it overnight (yes, this damn show seeps into my half wake moments!) it comes down to clunky writing. As much as I love Jerry Wanek for his set design, I think he needed a tighter reign over his actors. They were calling the shots in this, not him. Also, I think it was just a badly timed episode. Sam and Dean just found out that Lucifer is out of the cage and they've been given no time to react to that.

And then there's casifier. After saying last week he was improving, this week he went back to playing it clownishly (the difference a director makes…;D)
