Exactly.

I thought a lot of that was new? I mean, we had a hint of "demon army, now there's chaos," but I also thought the Azazel reveal went along with what Pride said in M7. Plus it reinforces the "not all demons have the same agenda" idea, which I think is new from last season.

The Azazel reveal - but we knew YED was Azazel because John used the Sigil of Azazel when he summoned the demon.

Dean didn't know that though.

John used the Sigil of Azazel

Did they say that in the show? If I knew that, I forgot it. A lot of the audience (and Dean) probably didn't know that.

Err. I'd missed that, actually. Or not paid attention. I think I was too busy watching with Bev, and it hasn't really come up on the flist analysis.

I have a hard time believing they always need to go for the book when they need to perform an exorcism -- I bet John pounded that rite into their heads at a young age, and probably had them practicing the words during road trips. They should be able to spit the worlds out in their sleep.

They were unfamiliar with it until Phantom Traveler, per the episode.

And I love the idea that the demons aren't *sure* Lucifer exists any more than humans can be sure of God.

That was awesome.

Azazel!

At which point, a ZILLION ficwriters were all, "WOO! CALLED IT, BITCH!"

Dude, they are so having hot evil sex at some point. "That little fallen angel on your shoulder..."

Dear lord please yes.

Note that the body she's in is now toast, if it doesn't belong to her native, which I doubt it does, on account of Bobby shooting her like that.

Anyone else bothered by the fact that Bobby shot a human without remorse?? I mean, demon-possessed human, but before he at least had sympathy for the people that were inside.

Me! Me!

Yeah, Bobby shooting the possessed human with a kill shot without remorse was another reason to not like this episode.

I missed the first half of this ep - came in when Dean and Demon he was trapped with were flirting. Anyone want to synopsis?

Um. They go to a town where there are some really weird random shootings, while Bobby is trying to fix the Colt.

They meet the local priest, he tells them the local bigwig kingpin dude has a bar, adn they go there. Lots of hot women in small amounts of clothes. Lots of alcohol, openly on the streets and stuff. (Basically looks a little like Daytona Beach at Spring Break.) They see a guy with a gun and they don't stop him from killing a guy, but they do stop him from shooting himself.

They bump into a hunter named Richie, who's a jackass who knows Dean from when Sam was in school. Richie goes off with the bartender chick and gets himself killed. When he goes missing, Dean decides to look for him, and Sam goes to break into the kingpin's office.

Sam is caught in the kingpin's office, throws some holy water around, discovers that neither the kingpin (general Hammond!) nor his minion are possessed, and splits, embarrassed. Goes back to the bar to look for Dean.

Dean has gone off with the bartender, but when they get there he reveals he'd been there already, found Richie's body, and set the Devil's Trap in place. So he traps her but then she causes a lot of wind and it blows away his book and he can't exorcise her, and she causes a rockfall and traps them in the basement.

From TWOP (I love this):

The Fucking Colt That Can Kill Anything Except When It Can't

And you should mention that the kingpin was Don Davis so, uh, we expect more from him.

(Or are we just seeing things from SG1 tinted glasses?)
