It did strike me that hellhounds are a fairly bush league threat compared to prior confrontations Ellen has survived against the Second Horseman and Azazel, and their inclusion rather than the usual possessed thugs (who can be exorcised) seemed tailored to ensure that someone had to make that last stand.
I don't see them as bush league, though. We've seen hellhounds target at people very rarely, and usually fatally, with the fatalities including Dean, as ita references. They're not smart or cunning, but they're effective and tenacious.

They also don't forget your scent. You can't throw them off for long, I guess.
Yeah. They're like bloodhounds crossed with sharks! You can't reason with them or trick them, for they are MINDLESS KILLING MACHINES! MWAHAHAHAHAHA! BLOODHOUNDS! SHARKS! WITH FRICKIN' LASER BEAMS!
Ahem.
In some respects, I think an enemy that isn't thinking is scarier than a thinking one.

Oh, I agree.
Hey! In S6, they could fight SHARKS WITH FRICKIN' LASER BEAMS ON THEIR HEADS!
They could! In shagadelic costumes!
Dean asking if people are horny would not be out of the realm of believability, either.
Once Jo was mortally wounded, I wonder if Dean regretted his end-of-the-world seduction schtick. He definitely regretted a lot.
I would imagine so. Especially given the way he kissed her forehead first.
I loved that Jo said no to him -- that crush was obviously long outgrown.
I basically agree with almost everything said here: [link]
And the thing for me is this: I think the show gets gender issue demerits *all over the place* in the generalized sense, but in *this specific instance* it doesn't with Jo and Ellen. (My gender irritations were all Meg-related in this episode.)
