Got home and L&O LA was on. Chuck is the suspect! (So far, I'm about 10 mins in.) It took me a moment to recognize him all suited up, but right away my reaction was "that guy is kind of squirrely."
Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

OMG, the way that JA said "squirrly" last night was hilarious. What a freaking awkward word.

I think they made it pretty clear that she's the big bad. From the beginning of the season we've been hearing about purgatory, and now there's evidence that demons have not only found it, but also have instructions on bringing something to earth from there. And then we saw them raise her. Seems pretty cut and dried to me, anyway.
Yes, I used poor grammatical choices when I picked the pronouns in my paragraph. We know about the Mother of All Monsters and have every reason to expect her to be the Big Bad. The Winchester Brothers, however, do not yet know about her, so as far as they are concerned they are still in a holding pattern waiting for a Big Bad to be revealed. In the meantime they can continue to go on saving people and hunting evil sons-of-bitches.

I enjoyed this last episode because it was kind of nostalgic to have the motw back.

You just reminded me. That was one of my favorite parts. Its cuteness factor is right up there with, "I like him. He says Okie Dokie."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, they haven't come face to face with her, but they certainly know she's going to be a problem.

There was one last week, wasn't there?

The "dragons" were more directly related to the Big Bad though. So kind of like Meg in Season 1, though we didn't know it until the end of the episode.

Since when can ghosts possess people on this show?
Since Dirk the Jerk in Afterschool Special. Hope for continuity's sake they remember the ectoplasm.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Plus racist trucks. Don't forget about them.
Though there the truck was the ghost, so it was a little different.

I guess what with them having to hunt down fairies and skinwalkers and the like I hadn't noticed a lack of monsters of the week.

Because books.
The "dragons" were more directly related to the Big Bad though.
I don't think that matters.
I think we've been conditioned (maybe thanks to Buffy) to equate a season's arc with a specific Big Bad, when it doesn't really have to be. There has to be a central conflict, but making it one specific entity is simply convenient. Even in S1, the arc was about finding Sir their dad, and learning about Azazel just happened to come out of that.
Same with S3. The central problem was getting Dean out of his deal, and the focus narrowed down to Lilith when it seemed she was the one holding the contract.
This season, the central *external* problem has really been why everyone is so interested in purgatory (and the internal, or personal, one has been learning to work as a team again, when Dean has been living a completely different life for a year and Sam has been walking around soulless). The Mother of All is clearly going to be a problem, and easy enough to call the Big Bad, but I would be willing to bet whatever's going on with purgatory could stretch into next season, no matter what happens with her.
