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-I'm just taking things without paying for th... In what twisted dictionary is that stealing?

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. :)

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
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.

Art Crawl!!!
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?)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I figured the trickster was going to be involved because of the previouslies. they really need to be more subtle with those.
Right?
(Didn't the Trickster episode make it clear that he wasn't dead?)
Yes.
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.
It's the ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE. (Except, yes, they're probably more like very groggy demons.)

We knew, but the boys didn't.
I don't think they're going to be actual zombies, but I think they're trying to invoke the zombie-esque kind of terror. (See also: Croatoan.)

(Psst: it's Assault on Precinct 13, except we've secretly replaced the usual Scary Unwhite Urban Youth with Folger's crystals. Let's see if anyone notices!)
The treatment of race, considering the history of the entrenched-white-defenders genre, will be kind of key to next week's episode.
ETA: sorry, sorry. Screen embiggenation my fault.

Because books.
But Victor is black. So ... I'm not sure where you're going with that.
