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.

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

From twitter:
@jonrog1 Dug out the #cortex #supernatural rules. Um, why did no one tell me these are kind of awesome?
Does this mean there is SPN RPG or does he mean supernatural in a general wizardy way? Is John a fan, and if so can he do a Leverage x-over? ita, you have assignments.

Here, Theresa: Supernatural RPG.
Don't know much about it though.
Unsubbed copies of the anime are making the rounds right now. Come on fans, sub! Get to work!

Thanks! Also [link] looks neat. Dang, I wish you all lived closer for game.
I kinda want a goldendoodle now too.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I loved getting to see Sam and RoboSam in close conjunction like that. It was also good to see Samuel, especially in the flashback where he talked about Mary. While I don't exactly sympathize with his decision to sacrifice the boys if it meant getting Mary back, I can understand better how he got to that point.
As for the wall, I'm wondering if it came all the way down, or if what we're seeing is simply a crack hinting at future collapse. In other words, what we saw at the end of the ep wasn't the full torrent of hell memories hitting Sam, but a trickle.
I find it mildly disturbing that he has his own SuperWiki page.
I would have to agree. The dog is a cutiepie, though.

Good god, Anna was on Fringe last week, and I completely failed to recognise her.
