I like that. But I don't think that was where they were going.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I can't begin to parse it, because I'm so influenced by fic, which basically equated losing grace to becoming more human. Needing sleep, needing to shave, shit, becoming more enslaved to bodily needs. This exhaustion is new and inexplicable to me. It seems like Show is equating "losing one's grace" with dying from sleeplessness (which, now that I think of it, was what Sam almost died of that one time when he was remembering Hell).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We've seen Cas been "simply" human after having had his grace removed, and there was no pain involved. I think this time, the pain, the exhaustion, the dying, was related to how it was acquired.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
For that matter, Metatron talked as if the removal of Cas' grace somehow imbued him with a human soul-the former expected to see the latter again in Heaven after life as a human and hear his stories.

I wonder if the first time he lost his mojo he was downgraded to a soul in a similar fashion?

Kneel before Glod. ~Stephen Colbert
Perhaps it was a result of the spell Metatron cast when he removed Cas' grace, and not simply the removal of his grace. So... kill a Nephilim + acquire a cupid's arrow + take a warrior angel's grace = jettisons angels from Heaven and makes the warrior angel a human soul.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Wow, last night's show pretty much just threw Anvils of Parallelism at our heads for an hour. Jaysus.
I think Dean's undemoning was way too easy and way too fast. I didn't want the entire season to be Demon Dean, but, really. It's too little pay off to too much set-up and too much afterplay.
ETA: I cannot believe I spelled "threw" as "through." Posting before caffeine is more dangerous than Ambien posting.

Because books.
I agree -- Demon Dean was a wasted opportunity. Three episodes isn't anywhere near half the season -- they could have drawn it out a few more episodes, made Dean harder to find, something.
That said, I loved seeing regular Dean, too, so.
The parallels were right there, but I don't know if we're supposed to think Dean and/or Sam registered them. I'm assuming Kate was Sam and Tasha was Dean, but I could be wrong.
I've been singing "Werewolves of London" all day, too.

(I love "Werewolves of London.")
And I think we're supposed to think Dean and Sam registered the parallels, all right. How could they NOT? I mean, they're having the brofeels talk in the car, and the parallels were super anvilicious. Even the FauxSto(ic)Bros got it.
