I think that finally the angel storyline has become bearable. Before it was played with neither Dean nor Sam, or even Cas to make it immediately relevant, and now Cas has been directly involved. Now it's more relevant and interesting just for a known character being present.

In shallow news, I realized that Cas's trenchcoat has been shortened, and this seems terribly wrong. It's like they gave him a red tie just to be able to claim they rejuvenated the costume without actually changing anything.

So bored with the angels.

But I love the Trans and was thrilled to see them! Kevin being a ghost only because heaven is closed makes that totally okay to me.

Sits with Beverly and Juliebird.

I thought this episode was pretty good, particularly because Cas is back to being a warrior angel again, with a noble mission based on lessons learned from very bad choices. Much like Sam has done.

The Mark of Cain storyline has me intrigued as well. I'm curious to see how this plays out, particularly given the boys' estrangement.

Yes, we've had some stinker eps, but I'm not ready to bail yet. Not even close. Although I can understand why some might consider it.

I have long since been bored with the angel storylines. I just don't give a damn any more.

Oh, this is me. I have no intentions of giving up on the show yet. Although increasingly I find times that I'm finding more joy and comfort in fanfic than in Show.

I can't give up Show. It would feel disloyal. (I know that's weird.)

I'm hoping for some good things from tonight's episode anyway. More than Dean!beard, too!

Ghost! Ghostfacers!

That was fun. A little anvilicious with the parallels to Sam and Dean, but also funny as hell.

Now I'm waiting for the fake Facebook graphic where Sam or Dean's relationship status is listed as "it's complicated".

I miss when an episode of Ghostfacers meant it would be a fun episode.

A.J. put on an enormous amount of weight for his role on Justified. I kind of miss the lighter, slimmer A.J.

And yes, it felt like fourth grade reading class, learning about similes and metaphors and references to other themes in a story.

Oh my, that was quite dumb. Not only did I call the cop and the bus boy as the killers early on, but Dean (and even Sam a little) seemed especially stupid this time around. It was painful to watch without touching the after school special bits.

OK, that was a little heavy-handed, but I very much enjoyed the feel of returning to urban legends, even if it was fake.

ETA: but next week looks pretty bad. Not expecting much out of that scenario.

Winchester Radio interviews Jensen, and it is sort of excruciating. I listened to about five minutes, and Jensen is trying really hard to get the conversation going, but these girls have no idea how to interview.

I also just realized I can't remember one thing about the clip for the next episode (next week, not tomorrow), although it seems that Eugenie Ross-Leming and Brad Buckner wrote it, which doesn't seem promising.
