I just need to start off by saying Thursday’s episode had so much of the humor that makes Supernatural also enjoyable.

I mean, “Spirit in the Sky” playing as the background music as Sam & Dean stroll into Demon Central, for us only to discover that the song’s actually playing on the radio of one of the abandoned cars? “Gonna recommend you/To the spirit in the sky,” indeed.

And even when Bobby became all morose, his demanding Castiel “lay his hands on” him to heal him provided some much-needed comic relief. And Cas having to call Sam on his cell phone to find him? Too perfect.

But to the point of things:

We met one of the four horsemen and we have pretty much all the hunters together. OK, except Sam, who’s hiding out now when he’s needed basically more than ever before.

I understand why Sam feels he needs to pull back. His extreme desire for demon blood could cause serious problems. But would the problems be any worse than what is already happening? I mean, we ARE talking about the Apocalypse here. Hear that Sam? THE APOCALYPSE. End times. End Of Days. You know, with the Four Horsemen, Satan, Hell On Earth? Sound bad?

I also love how Dean, despite completely accepting Demons, first had a problem accepting the existence of Angels and now has a problem accepting that there is a God. Reminds me of the joke about the dyslexic agnostic insomniac who stays up nights pondering the existence of Dog.

And given that this is Supernatural, whose creators seem to delight in turning Catholicism on its head while being actually rather reverent, I somehow believe that God, once we meet him (or her – don’t rule that out!) won’t be quite what we expect.
