Well I'd always assumed that the black eyes indicated "hey, demon!" So that bit just struck me as a question mark. I was sort of hoping to see Dean actually evince something more demonic -- like teleportation, or setting things on fire. Maybe we'll get some of that once the writers are done having him pickling his liver.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

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.

Yeah, I think the writers need to clarify that -- it's all kind of nebulous -- Dean IS a demon, but he IS Dean, and not some ages-old demon wearing a Dean meat-suit. I think they're doing some handwavium Mark of Cain stuff right now, and they're going to have to clear that up pretty quickly.
Because it's not very clear right now.

Because books.
The handwavium is thick on the ground, I think.

Apply more handwavium, -t!
I think one other thing that's confusing is Sam's injury. Because his arm was in the sling when he was questioning the tied-up girl demon, but then we switched to "Four Weeks Later," (instead of Four Weeks Earlier, which I think might have worked better). At any rate, his arm is still in the sling four weeks later, and he and Cas mention the injury, but don't really explain it.
The timeline alone was sort of a mess.

This is the interview with Jeremy Carver I read. It's spoilery, but in a big picture way.

I think I don't mind not knowing what's going on? I'm interested to see where they are going.
The Very Special Supernatural Special was fun. I'm still kind of having a hard time believing it's season 10.

EW has an interview with Jeremy Carver, (complete with spoilers), that discusses that whole "is Dean a demon or isn't he?" issue we were discussing:
I want to clarify something. Crowley said the Mark of Cain had to be sated or else Dean goes full Demon? Isn’t he already?
Crowley is saying, “I’m keeping you sharp by giving you demons to kill and that is sating the Mark because the Mark needs to be sated, and if you don’t sate the Mark, then the Mark eventually takes you over even more.” So [Dean's] on this knife’s edge of yes, the Mark has already turned Dean into a demon, so if you don’t sort of feed the beast, the Mark will potentially take you over even more.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Were people braced to be upset by jerk/bitch? It dragged a laugh out of me.
I liked it well enough. Maybe not season opener well enough, but it was strong, just not blow-me-away or anything.
I think I know when/if they get Dean back, and I wish I didn't or am wrong.
Oh! My first DCBB2014: [link] (story and art) [link] (art with snippets of story). Comments well appreciated.
Still have to put it up on AO3. And then I think I'm done. There does need to be an easier way.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
ita, is that when/if knowledge something that can be shared in spoilers?
