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. :)

That he she or shim phrase didn't bother me because i took it that he (It?) was talking about demons which to me don't really have a sex outside of whichever vessel they happen to be presented in. If that had been used regarding a human/trangender then yep, it would have been offensive.

Otherwise, yeah, I wasn't overly fond of this one and agree with most of your niggles - I think it suffered coming after a good series of episodes. The contrast made it seem worse than it was - if they'd given me this episode in Season 8 I'd probably have been cheering.
