First off, doesn’t it sometimes seem like an episode of SPN is there just to hold a place for a Very Special conversation between those pretty Winchesters in the last five minutes? Secondly, these past two episodes should have been full of wonderful revelations, snappy dialogue and awesome brotherly angst, considering what has happened to our fair Sammy and what’s up with Crowley, and blah, blah, blah, but I can barely remember what happened. And third, the dog actor in this most recent episode was the best thing in the whole episode – and yes, I thought he was even better than Mark A. Sheppard.

Okay, so Sammy doesn’t have a soul, which is vaguely interesting only because No-Soul-Sammy is more fun and compelling than en-souled Sammy ever was. I understand Dean’s trepidation with the whole thing, no one likes driving around the country with someone who could give a rat’s ass about you, but if he could just relax a little, maybe things would be fun again for those two beauties.

As much as I loves me some Mark A. Sheppard, this whole idea of him being in charge of the boys could get real old, real fast. Crowley was a great cross roads demon, all sneaky and mean, but so far he makes a pretty lame King of Hell. I understand the motivation to capture the Alpha monsters, but he sends the boys off to get the Alpha werewolf, which turns out to actually be a skinwalker, who isn’t even anywhere close to being the Alpha of the pack… I mean, really? This is one of the trickiest, smartest demons our lovely boys have come up against, and he is that wrong? Not even close? I say, BAH!

So I am not even coming close to recapping these past two episodes, because all anyone needs to know is that Sammy has no soul, Dean is freaked out by it all (and I continue to say the Jensen deserves Emmy love for his acting chops, even after two shaky episodes), and Crowley became kinda dumb once he became the supreme ruler of Hell (unless he’s super extra sneaky and this hold Sammy’s soul ransom plan isn’t his plan at all – which is possible).

I have been busy with my NaNoWriMo extravaganza, and so I was looking forward to some Supernatural to entertain me this week, and while the previous episode was okay, this one was a real disappointment. Then, the promo monkeys at The CW got me all excited for next week’s episode about faeries! Here’s hoping we get a nice, palate cleansing, silly, silly episode with some good horror thrown in, like the beginning of the season had.
