Kripke felt that Jus in Bello was a better "season ender" if it had to be - or "hiatus starter". . as it is.

Jus in Bello is more cliffhangery, I agree, but getting my heart torn out by Mystery Spot would have been pretty awesome.

There are ways to have an opinion that are nicer than this, though.

True. I apologize.

I do like the white eyes, though. If the hierarchy is, as they've led us to believe, black-eyed random low-level demons, red-eyed crossroads demons, yellow-eyed higher-level demons, of whom we've only seen Azazel, now this potential ruler of hell has singular blind white eyes. It makes me wonder if a demon is born to a level or a class, in the SPN mythos, or can work its way up through the levels of hell.

The ep's up on iTunes.

Eeeeeeenteresting (from here [link]

The rules of jus in bello (or justice in war) serve as guidelines for fighting well once war has begun. Some maintain that morality does not exist in warfare, and therefore object to just war theory. War is hell, the argument goes, and one is entitled to do whatever is necessary to ensure victory for one's own side. Just war theory, on the other hand, sets forth a moral framework for warfare and rejects the notion that "anything goes" during times of war. Belligerent armies are entitled to try to win, but they cannot do anything that is, or seems, necessary to achieve victory.[1] There are restraints on the extent of harm, if any, that can be done to noncombatants, and restraints on the weapons of war.[2] These restraints aim to limit war once it has begun.

Ha. Zap2it called last night's episode the "season finale." That's not good.

Tagline from the TWOP recaplet:

Or Assault on Precinct 21 Jump Street

I like the character of Bella- straightforward

I don't trust Ruby, demons seem to evil and only evil. they don't even go as low as mundane.

Dean and Sam made the only choice they could have made and keep their humanity

Can't really believe Mr. FBI is dead.

I read an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer today that I swear, if Sam had read it whilst sipping coffee over breakfast in a diner somewhere, he and Dean would be rolling into town to check it out. If, you know, they weren't fictional. It's about three churches being vandalized, and newcomers to the area introducing themselves to the priests by demonic names. Interestingly enough, the people involved are not teenagers, who might be expected to be doing this as some sort of prank, but people in their 40's and 50's.
