I figured the trickster was going to be involved because of the previouslies. they really need to be more subtle with those.

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
I missed the previouslies, because I was dicking around trying to get the tape set up, so I was really surprised.
I'm also glad that I wasn't the only one who saw zombies in the preview. My IRL SPN friend says that she thinks that they were demony minions like we saw at the end of season 1.
I thought it was interesting that they showed footage of both the Trickster and the WIAWSNB genii in the promos. The promo gave away the twist of the episode, but I didn't know which supernatural entity was going to be at fault.
i'm pretty sure that's what they were, sumi, but when they first showed them i thought they were zombies and i was going to have to watch from the hall.

Exactly. I thought it would be something new. Maybe an amulet. :)
see? black eyes and demon smoke about :27 in.
This. I like him and thought he would die.
I like that there does seem to be an awareness on the part of the writers about how difficult it would be to kill a freakin' god that can manipulate reality at will. Sam, Dean, and Bobby talk about it as a trickster, like it's a case of termites in the basement that someone needs to call Orkin for, but the show seems to respect the fact that this is Coyote or Loki or some similar figure out of myth and legend.
Yeah, he is THE Trickster and not so easily gotten rid of. There was an excellent post about what the Trickster was doing over at TWOP. I think I need to read up on Tricksters and what their purpose is.
(Didn't the Trickster episode make it clear that he wasn't dead?)

Right?

Yes.

It's the ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE. (Except, yes, they're probably more like very groggy demons.)
