I think Dean's favorite beer is ... beer , honestly.

We know Benny is dead for sure--we don't know if he's dead for good.

Okay, too much sinus meds this week, clearly. I forgot that Dean beheaded him, and when it happened it had not occurred to me that it was going to. Death is so fucking fluid in this universe!

See, whereas I was all "Dean's gonna ask someone else to suicide for Sam, isn't he? AND THEY WILL DO IT." How is Dean every going to learn he's crazy if the world keeps bowing to his neurotic co-dependency? I wonder if I have to up my sibling game now that my sister has seen this (luckily Merle in Walking Dead is still a douche). It's also funny when I have to explain why Dean is right about stuff, when she's trying to tell me Sam is right. I don't think we've both tapped into sibling issues so strongly in the same show before. Movies, maybe, but not TV.

She does think that Sam's anger wasn't played hard enough in S5--I do think that after Sam, Interrupted that they were better about it, but it kind of came out of nowhere for that.

Man, I'm gonna miss Benny, and how Jensen's accent goes all southern in scenes with him. I'm a little pissed at Sam that it took his own skin on the line to come around about him, instead of believing in Dean's faith and trust in him(it's not like Dean has a track record for putting his faith in bad people. Gordon lasted all of an episode).

But man, this ep was way too rushed. Sooo many things that went unexplained or happened in too quick a time-frame that seemed to negate the epic proportions of previous similar attempts in regards to getting into Hell, out of Hell, out of Purgatory.

I was so sure that Dean would attempt to contact Cas about getting Sam and the innocent soul out of Hell.

I'm curious about Kevin, and whether Crowley has him or not, because the windows that Crowley supposedly blew out were intact when Sam and Dean cased the boat at the end.

I'm assuming that if Crowley can project his voice into Kevin's head and make it past wards and devil's traps, etc, and though to tidy up, there are even mundane explanations for getting a glazier in and fixing the windows.

I just like the Mark Sheppardservice less and less.

I was wondering much the same thing Julie, and for the same reasons. There's a good chance that the Crowley we saw at the end was all in Kevin's head.

Also, is anyone else kind of worried that Naomi now has access to a potential hostage with proven strong emotional connections to the Winchesters?

Hasn't she had that all season?

Hasn't she had that all season?

This one has less wherewithal to go on the lam or stand up to her.

On one hand, the establishing shot of the boat with Kevin screaming says that Crowley is really there, and his demon subordinate succeeded somehow in locating Kevin and overcoming the wards. But then Kevin was screaming at the beginning of the ep as all his limbs were torn from him, and that turned out to be an illusion. So, I dunno. Set dressing oversight or clue?

This one has less wherewithal to go on the lam or stand up to her.

But she had Cas kill 100 Deans before he provided any useful resistance. He was her bitch for 2/3 of the season. If she has Kevin, not only does he have different wiring (since she re-installed Castiel's OS) he can't actually sustain much pressure.

Now, if Naomi learnt anything from Cas, I think that would be cool. But I think Kevin's only advantage is that he can read the tablets.

Naomi also presumably has Mary and John at her disposal should she need hostages to motivate the Winchesters, as well as Ellen, Jo, and Ash. I don't think acquiring Bobby would significantly strengthen her hand in that regard.
