See that's all I knew was the phone call....but I'm a little surprised they spoiled everyone with the preview for next week.
With that said...JOHN!!!1!
eta: Now I guess the CTV interview with Jensen is safe.
[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 was spoiled that JDM would be back, but i didn't know how or why.
I had NO CLUE
I'm still bouncing over the John news--they probably figured they couldn't keep it secret another week. EeeeeE!
That said, I have to exhale in relief that the scene with Sammy screaming "Letmeoutletmeout, ohgodletmeOUT!" wasn't actually in tonight's show. Just watching it on the CW site made my heart hurt. Yeah, you can beat up Winchesters all you want, but no way should Sam EVER scream like that.
I've got to say that, though I really enjoyed it, I'm almost a little disappointed that it wasn't more scary! I mean, there were a couple of "ooh, booga booga!" moments, but even the birthday scene wasn't really that creepy.
I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I was really worried from the clips on the website that they couldn't carry the humour. The serious was also unexpectedly good. I guess my expectations were so low that I just had a good time.
However, my expectations based completely on the preview shown is so freakin' high for next week.
Okay, that was fun! A nice blend of the humorous and the serious. What has become their normal amount of gore was dispensed. None in a way I found overly gorey tonight. And we get John! Next week! John!
I enjoyed the ep, but the beginning sans Sam and Dean carried on for too long, and I'll echo the sentiment that after the long break from the show, this is not what I'd want to come back to. Maybe if it had been next weeks ep I would have appreciated it better?
I liked it because I didn't have to try to pump up to an artificial level of "Oh, noooees!" so quickly. Gave me just enough Sam and Dean to enjoy, a reminder of Dean's fate and just a good ghost huntery classic story. Next week will be soon enough to try and peg the "Boys!" meter.
Hmm. I found that mostly fun, not particularly deep, and a bit dodgy with regards to the sacrifice of Corbett. Who I think is the first gay male we've actually seen on the show, if I'm not mistaken. Pity he had to die in order to save everyone else, even the guy who found his love distasteful. Pity the only other gay character we've seen, the lesbian in AHBL1, also died.
Oh, Edlund. I bet you think you're being coy.
Show, if you make frequent homophobic jokes, and then when you have a gay characters, kill them off immediately, that doesn't actually say a lot for your attitude about people who don't share your heterosexuality.
And yet despite that, Sam and Dean didn't make any tasteless homophobic jokes, and Maggie survived and was a bit snarky (I'm trying to ignore the "oh I'm scared please kiss me" business), and Sam and Dean were smart in the end. If a bit unkind to these well-meaning amateurs.
