Tara(from Buffy)?
Wow, she appeared 5 years ago. Nice to see her again…for awhile.
Wow.
I did not see that coming.
Looks like Crowley is this years top villain, then.
I choked back laughter when Castiel (trying to be helpful) explained he had a sore rash when Dean explained to the woman outside the doctor’s office why they needed to see the doctor. I noticed that Dean looked highly uncomfortable when the woman (assuming they were a couple) told Castiel to get some cream from the drugstore. Okay, my sense of humor is juvenile.
By the way, it was quite clever for Dean to drink the phoenix ashes, knowing that Eve would bite him.
And the “I’ve never been in… your…” line nearly had me rolling on the floor.
I’m picturing the writers sitting around discussing, “So what else can we do to encourage filthy fanfic?”
He’s a Jefferson Starship!
It’s so cute how Dean looks so proud of himself when he says something he thinks is hilariously clever. (The posse joke, too – his expressions were funnier than the joke.) It’s sweet of Sam to humor him and spend the whole episode calling the monsters “Starships.”
That was also cool when Cas was casually wiping all the blood off his hands. I don’t even want to know where he stuck them in.
I knew the boys were Little Tiffanys.
I’m glad to see Crowley back in that I like the actor, but this show is getting like a soap opera in the “death as temporary inconvenience” theme.
Do you think Castiel summoned Crowley when he was in the room alone with the Jefferson Starship cop?
The actress playing Eve- initially- was terrible. I’m glad she morphed into Mommy Winchester, who actually could act. Mother of all monsters needs to be more exotic- someone multiracial and with an accent at very least. Eve just seemed like a pissed off cheerleader from a mediocre squad.
Loved the “beat me with wire hangers” line, among others.
Have I mentioned that I’m in touch with a doctor in Nigeria who says that with just 12 operations he can make me where I’ll be able to conceive Misha Collins’ babies?
Yes, the innocent snuggly kids were too obvious. Also the “We don’t care if millions of people’s lives are endangered, we’re gonna drive these kids who remind us of us to a safe place” was a bit annoying. Although it would have been cool if their decision had literally come back to bite them. The kid’s feet could be all bloody from running barefoot at superhuman speeds over thirty miles of asphalt, and just as the danger seemed over the kid would crash through the diner window and fasten his teeth in someone’s throat.
That was just a meatsuit the dragons acquired for her to wear.
I was pretty surprised that they managed to gank her and set Cas & Crowley up as possible new big bads. No wonder Rachel tried to angel-stab him.
Ah. Pity they didn’t find one that could act.
Since they’ve already resurrected more dead than The Rapture is supposed to I wonder how long before they bring John back.
ETA: The show’s been renewed for a 7th season btw.
I also assumed that they called in Mommy Winchester when they realized that the actor they’d hired to play Eve wasn’t up to delivering any of that dialogue. She has all the menace of a kid on My Sweet Sixteen whose parents bought her the silver Benz instead of the red one. So glad she’s dead.
And so glad Crowley isn’t, and I don’t care how they justify it. Also glad to see Castiel returned to his proper place as an actual player, and not just the boys’ get-out-of-hell-free card.
I haven’t been watching the show for that long. Is Castiel becoming more ruthless, or was he always like that?
Does he not eat and drink? It looked like he was the only one at the diner not ingesting anything, but maybe he just doesn’t like greasy fries served by demonspawn? I’m thinking I’ve seen other non-human characters chowing down. Maybe the angels don’t eat?
Yep, they basically fired the actress. That’s how it looked.
-
Castiel is good. He is becoming desperate and ruthless; at least, that is how it looks. He has a war in Heaven going on and he has to win.
-
He can eat and drink, but I do not think he has to. He once drank an entire liquor store in order to get drunk. He has definitely been shown eating, though. He can even get stoned.
I know Castiel made that up about suffering from an “itching, burning sensation” or whatever he called it, but I couldn’t help imagining that he’s been engaging in behavior all along (in the serious pursuit of his duties no doubt) that would have led a mere mortal to contract all kinds of naughty infections, and the symptoms started showing as soon as his powers were suppressed. I’m hoping there are episodes that go into great detail about this, and that I will soon be able to catch up on watching them. Instead of spending my whole weekend writing progress reports for my students. Whom I love. In a different, appropriate way. 
I think Castiel used to be completely black and white: if one of the archangels had said “Kill every kid under 2 years old in this city” he’d have done it without a moment of remorse or questioning. Since he’s known Sam and Dean he’s become a bit more likely to question or to not follow orders he disagrees with, but apparently his “thinking outside the box” also lets him do things that the old Cas would have balked at as being unthinkable and immoral. “The ends justifies the means” is a two edged sword and not always right, but to somebody who spent thousands of years never questioning it can be especially dangerous.
As for eating, Castiel doesn’t have to eat but his vessel, Jimmy Novak, is still susceptible to human emotions and needs from time to time. Once Jimmy started craving red meat when a supe was causing people to experience gluttony and Cas went on a feeding frenzy to satisfy him.
“I have a…painful, burning sensation.” I love Castiel/Misha so much.
“This isn’t a computer.”
“It IS a computer.” Obvious advertising - less cool.
Dudes, you have to know by now that it’s ALWAYS the kids. I thought Castiel was on the road to hell with all his good intentions, but what is he doing working with Crowley? Stranger and stranger.
I really have no idea what to make of Crowley chiding Cas for having to keep cleaning up his messes. Was Crowley working under his orders to bait Eve in order to draw her out and get rid of her, or something else?
They should have waited a week and aired that show for Mother’s Day.
I’m wondering how dead Eve is, considering that everyone else keeps popping back to life.
Do angels and demons just disappear when they die? They can’t just go to heaven or hell right – they were already there. I guess there is a category of “mostly dead” where their battered, diffused spirit floats around in a lonely corner of the afterworld waiting to see if they will be written back into the story.
Didn’t they say a couple of seasons ago that things like the demon-killing knife actually obliterate the demons, not just send them back to hell? It makes them dead dead dead?
Yes. The Colt and the knife make them dead dead dead. Exorcism just sends them back to Hell. Not sure about Sam’s old demon ganking powers. It looked sort of exorcismy, but the way the demons acted about it made it seem like something more than a trip home.
To answer xoferew, even with the dead dead dead methods they don’t just disappear. There’s a bit a of a lightshow, and then the meatsuit turns into a dead body.
