oh no....that wasn't nice! Frickin Lucifer.

I think when the devil says, "I will never lie to you. I will never trick you", he is fucking LYING.

OH HELL YES.

Okay I totally read a Spuffy fic of next weeks episode from that teaser. They stole that from NautiBitz.

I always figured Sam was supposed to be the vessel. Or Dean, actually, depending.

The guy playing Lucifer is really good. And it was SO good to see Adrianne Palicki again.

Jeremy Carver clearly really loves Dean, but I think he really gets both boys very well.

I'm having fuzzy thoughts, but I don't like Show's dogma that predestination is inevitable; that Sam was damned from the time he was 6 months old because his mother made a deal with the YED. He spent years fighting against the demon-blood infection, but it doesn't matter. Once he started using the powers that he thought came from the blood he used them to battle for The Good, but it doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter what he does or why he does it, even if he hadn't gone so far as to sacrifice NICU nurses, he is damned. Now if he consents to be Lucifer's vessel I could see more argument to the he's bad and he deserves the punishment, but as it is I don't like they way this has been playing out.

Also, I am not happy with Dean's whole "yippee skippy" I'm so happy now that I don't have to deal with my brother attitude. Yeah, I know, when they were growing up he had to look after Sam. Ya know what? Thousands and thousands of older siblings have to look after their brothers and sisters. And when Sam didn't want to be tied down to all his family drama Dean insisted he was selfish and bitched endlessly at him.

And I'm feeling particularly grumpy today, so it's possible I'll retract most of this tomorrow. But I doubt it.

Dayenu!!! HAH!! OMG, I love Dean!

Dean is full of crap and Castiel knows it. Early in the episode before Cas showed up, the way Dean looked over at the empty seat next to him in the Impala gave it all away.

And also the moment he left at the end. And how he spent most of the episode trying to wedge Castiel into that hole.

I don't think you can deny that Dean, for whatever reason, has always been way too tied to his family. Some of that's his upbringing, some of that's his own damage. I'm not going to begrudge him feeling a little bit freed right now - especially since it's about 80% bullshit.

Sam doesn't deserve what he's getting, for sure. That scene with Lucifer was brutal. And there's going to be fallout from demons spreading the word to the hunting community about what happened. (And who the hell knows what they're saying *did* happen anyway. Not like the truth isn't bad enough but still.) Gah. He's just a big open wound right now.

I'm really not sure about the whole matching vessel set thing, though I'll withhold judgment for now.

I'm very suspicious of the bar girl. I don't believe she is entirely what she seems. I watch this show!
