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. :)

I didn't love it but I did enjoy a lot of it. I still find Misha's Casifer both unconvincing and irritating as a result, and I was really hating the Crowley puppy play, so I was rather glad to see Crowley back in action and all cleaned up again (even though I'm not that fond of the character generally). Lucifer in Cas doesn't seem particularly powerful or menacing, and there's no reason he shouldn't be fully juiced up this time, unlike last time when he was constrained by the limitations of an inferior vessel.

*nods* Not making any sense to me either. Why isn't Lucifer burning down the world already? (clearly I know he can't yet). Lucifer went from one of my fave bads to one of my least faves. I was actually hoping Crowley was going to kill him last night. I dread to think what they've going to do with him next. As he doesn't "need" Sam - but does apparently needs Dean, it will be about Lucifer/Cas and Dean in the future and yeah, that will make be *sigh* a lot.

I wish I could say that I enjoyed it - aside from Jensen's bit in the ring I was - I was feeling pretty meh. As I said, that could be because of the cold! ;)

Reading caranfindel's review I'd say not the cold...
