I loved the Sam and Eileen stuff, (AND DEAN TOTALLY SHIPS IT, TOO!) and Dean being a badass, but the whole BMOL "look at how evil we are, even though the ways in which we are evil make do freaking sense" has crossed the WTF Event Horizon. They're cartoon villains, I can't take them seriously.

It's too bad that Mick was killed off just when I was kind of liking him, but the truth is, he died like a dumbass. My friend and I were sitting on the couch, yelling at the TV for him not to be THAT stupid, but he was.

Dagon is lying is the only thing that makes any sense, but even then it only makes a little bit of sense, because Kelly thinking she's going to get out of this alive = Kelly who's not ACTIVELY looking for a way out. I mean I guess Dagon is powerful enough that she doesn't have to worry about Kelly trying to make a break for it, but still, why make trouble for herself?

(Although even if Cas had told her, it seemed pretty clear that Lucifer mind-whammied her in the hotel room, so she might have run anyway?)

Crowley being stupid and underestimating Lucifer is really frustrating; it seems like a betrayal of his whole character so far.

I don't want Eileen to be killed, but I'm worried it's going to happen, anyway. And I'm worried about all the hunters we know: Mary will have no suspicion of Ketch, and I think he might be the one to kill her (or maybe his feelings for her will stop him? Or make him hesitate just long enough for Mary to get the drop on him?) But there's also Jody, Claire, Donna (not sure if she would "count" enough to be on the BMoL's radar) Cesar and Jesse (I don't think the BMoL would care much about technicalities like "they've retired") and the witch twins. Killing some no-name hunter who we've never heard of is one thing, but if the BMoL are to be taken seriously as a threat, they'll have to off somebody the audience cares about, and who the audience knows is competent enough NOT to be taken down easily.

There's been too much buildup for the LuciFetus NOT to be born. Although like Lucifer's return in "Lucifer Rising" its birth may be the season-ending cliffhanger. (That or Sam and Dean facing their executioners.)

Cosmic consequences may get held off for next season, too. But I really hope that, whatever they are, they include rumors of Billie's death being greatly exaggerated.

The WTF Event Horizon. Hee.

If the Old Men turned out to be eldritch horrors who feed on the souls of dead monsters and run the BMoL the way they do for shits and giggles, I would applaud the plot for finally taking a sensible turn.

I think Mary is safe from Ketch, if only because I think even this writer's room would realize Sam and Dean avenging their fridged mother AGAIN is not a plot they want to rehash.
