Another trip down memory lane for Supernatural as I watched 1x19 ('Provenance') tonight and I have to say, when Sam and Dean broke into the auction house the way they did, I definitely missed the methodical approach in that execution (Sam disarming the system while Dean works the lock while wearing black gloves....we just don't see that anymore).
Also, with the way "Arrow" ended tonight (Queen vs Queen); that was awesome!! I've been waiting for that!
Just a reminder, blue font during the summarized bullets below are my thoughts during that moment of the episode...that way you get a genuine response from me.

Thanks to this 'Men of Letters' twist in the storyline, I'm loving all the possibilities that Sam and Dean could learn because of it along with the other organizations involved in it. It would be fantastic if Sam and Dean started the 'Men of Letters' again if they could first find any living Legacies against them. Plus no evil could enter right? Only those with the key could enter...or something like that, right? I can't remember what Larry said on it last week. Well I can't wait for Kevin's return next week and hopefully with it, Castiel will make an appearance too.
As for my story "More Than A Petrova", I may delay this week's update just a bit because of all the projects I have due in the upcoming week (apparently my professors want things done before reading week starts on Feb. 18th). So just a heads up there for my readers for that story.
I'll be back tomorrow with my VD thoughts...plus I believe we meet Hunter-Vaughn tomorrow too!
Night everyone!
