Quick Reaction: 12x21 There's Something About Mary
Alright, so, let's just be honest right out of the gate:
I hated this episode.
But, I have a rule around here, and it's that you HAVE to find the positive in a thing - and the rules apply to me too. So, yeah... yeah... let's see what I can do here.
( Live through this and you won't look back... )

One of my coworkers kind of watched intermittently this season, mostly because he didn't like the baby storyline. (And he doesn't like the long elaborate stories) He came to ask me what was going on...he was so confused! He didn't even know what the "before" segment meant. He was all "Where's the baby? What happened to the demon? Why didn't the spell work on Crowley? How did the British guys get so much power? Why is their mother working with them? Where's the angel?" So many questions, and I really didn't have any good answers. So their repetition wasn't too successful at catching up the non-viewers either.
During the shootout at the bunker, all I could keep thinking was "They have no problem shooting the minions! JUST SHOOT THE MONOLOGING VILLAINS TOO!!!" It's a classic mistake that I just don't think Sam and Dean would make. (These particular writers though..? Yup.)
My positive is that the season will soon be over, and we can move on to season 13. Lucky 13! I think it will be amazing. (I hope so, anyway.)

And yeah, that was kind of my point with the repetition - it's absolutely pointless, because the only people who will understand what is going on will be people who watch regularly, and THEY don't need the repetition - so it becomes obvious that it's in there just to fill time, because they couldn't think of an actual worthwhile scene to have instead.
I can buy that Sam and Dean wanted to keep Ketch and/or Toni alive in order to find Mary, but A)they didn't need both, and B)Once Mary was there, they should have just popped them off. Yes, Mary may have shot them, but honestly, just shoot her hand or something. She'll forgive you.
But yes, that's a good positive - it'll all soon before and maybe the writers will stumble into a plot that actually works. *rolls eyes*
