I liked this episode (and as always I love your reviews) but there were some things like the shifting of the shifter that botherd me too. But all in all it was one of the better ones this season! And I am very curious if Sam is ok, too! If he really was, why would they have made this scene at all? But on the other hand he seems to be ok in the preview of next week... (but I really wish that something ist wrong with him ;) ).

I have to say, I'm just rewatching season 1 and the show was so much creepyer and so much more fun in the past! When did we see the last simple evil creepy ghost (aren't there any left?)? I really think they should go back to basic in the next season (I thougt they wanted to do so this season?). And I still don't get whats wrong with Cas. Why can he be hurt so easy? Why is he so week? I really want the good old badass warrior angel back! Think of his very first scene when they shot him and everything and nothing could harm him at all. He got his grace back so I really don't get what's still wrong with him. His wings are broken since the angels fell, aren't they? Just his or of all the angels? I'm confused...
And I really miss Crowley and Rovena! And Mary is getting on my nerves...
