I'm very glad you enjoyed this episode - I did too. It was funny, though - while I was watching I was all like "Wow, this is great!" and when I thought about about it afterwards, it occured to me that a lot of it doesn't make sense in the context of this season, but hey, who cares? I still enjoyed it.
More Microsoft product placement. As a somewhat frustrated Windows 8 user - who on earth would ever use that in a professional context???
(And speaking of warding, DID SAM GET HIS TATTOO REDONE YET??????) You know, this is what I've been wondering the whole time, too. If Sam suddenly gets possessed by Abaddon or Crowley in the big season finale because he doesn't have a new tattoo, I SWEAR TO GOD...
And speaking of foolish reveals… “Oh, hey, Dean, remember we were gonna kill Crowley?” HE’S RIGHT THERE, SAM. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE SMART ONE. (Facepalm) (Also? Why would you kill the one thing that’s distracting Abaddon from you?) Haha, oh yes. The whole time they let Crowley walk around without handcuffs or anything and I just kept saying to myself "Boys, don't underrate him just because he's an addict." Sam and Dean have both had their own share of addiction so they really ought to know that it doesn't make people completely harmless. And then apparently they think he's so utterly that they can just discuss offing him while he's standing right behind them. Apart from Abaddon, what's the point of killing Crowley? They had him imprisoned in the bunker for ages. Because they thought that they could get information out of him on how to close the gates of hell and get rid of all demons a different way. But that was so many plots ago, the writers and the Winchesters seem to have forgotten all about it.
I know after watching Dean methodically kill the bad guy in the previous episode, many think the Mark is turning him into a cold-blooded killer. But if that were the case, would Sam have to remind Dean that he was planning to kill Crowley? Wouldn’t he have done that all on his own? Good point. Dean seems really reluctant to kill Crowley.
/Sorry for rambling away here. But this episode was so intriguing and you made so many interesting points that I simply couldn't resist.
