I actually quite liked this one. I wouldn't put it in the annals of great episodes, but I would put it WAY above last week's. I always adore Garth, I thought J2 did an AMAZING job handling the tension between the brothers throughout the episode, the direction was steady and careful. Little moments like Sam catching Dean lying about having info

Honestly? I absolutely love your review, because I pretty much agree. So many of my friends seemed to hate it, call it a "train wreck", hate Garth, hate what Sam said at the end, etc. I'm like you - I like Garth, and I just like the fact that the boys DID talk in the end.

Ooh, that's a really good thought. It would be pretty cool if Garth would be a regular in the spin-off. Oh wow, really? Yeah, I could see Garth maybe being one of them, then.

Though I have to say that the thought of end!verse actually happening kinda scares me. I know there's no way this show would end on good terms with the boys riding off into the sunset, etc. But I just think about how painful it would be to see Sam as Lucifer's vessel and Dean having to kill him. Though if we do get a 10th season, wouldn't that stretch beyond 2014 unlike The End? Eh, still something to think about I suppose.

I was definitely enjoying Dean's extra-long stubble. Yum! I have a feeling I'll have to keep some more pillows on the floor for all the falling over I'm sure to do next week when we see Sam in one layer. :D

I'm glad I'm not the only one who liked it! When I first posted this review, I felt like the lone voice in the wilds saying she thought it was good, but I've seen a few more positive reviews since then.

But I just think about how painful it would be to see Sam as Lucifer's vessel and Dean having to kill him.

Oh, lord, that WOULD be terrible. I don't think this crop of writers would use it as a way to end the show. (I'm of the opinion that it should never end! :-) ) I do think it would be cool, though, if Dean met himself from the past and Lucy turned out to be right when he said no matter what they did, they would always end up there. But then maybe Sam could overpower him, or Dean would have some spell up his sleeve, or something, and the world could go back to (relatively) normal--by SPN's standards. Because you're right--not only could this show not continue if one of them killed the other (permanently, anyway), but the spin-off couldn't exist in that world, either.

Ah, and another lover of Dean's delicious break-up beard. ha, pillows! :-D
