totally enjoyed your review - especially the part of the local sheriff finding or researching stolen cars..... when I visited last year I took a whole bunch of pics from the Heaven's Gate playground and I wished they would use that tangled net thingy - and now they did! Even had a shot right through the hole in the middle (and why hadn't I taken that pic too??)
Interesting thing is both this Heaven and the one with the Axis Mundi and Joshua and his garden were written by Andrew Dabb.
I totally agree about the Dean and Crowley scene - i love that they are these mirrors of each other - a man who's a bit demon and a demon whos a bit human. And i love that it really takles that trope of the hunter and the hunted being flipsides of each other and so know each other well - and take it to the logically absurd place of them ahving a drink and trading life advice!

OH NEAT! I wonder if Dabb pictures it the same way I do - with the "mall" and the "employee area of the mall" :P

Yes! I think it was the villains actually getting their comeuppance that made me love this episode - that happens so rarely on Supernatural :P
I loved everything you mention too. And I have all the same questions as you!! Definitely an episode that sets up the last 6 episodes REALLY well and makes us desperate for more!
(And will we ever see the fallout from Sam finding out how Dean messed with his stuff? (Why tape the buttons on the old telephone? Surely Sam uses his cell, why would he ever use that antique?)I think the phones are used for inter-Bunker communication. Yes, they could just use their cellphones, but I think you can call between rooms. But, it IS true that the bit of tape is a minor annoyance and would really only be a prank if Dean is planning to call Sam's room in the middle of the night when he is too groggy to figure out what's happening and why the phone keeps ringing. But, even that might not work, considering we saw at the beginning of the episode how fast Sam goes from sleep to completely-prepared-for-anything
( ... )
I loved the ep as well. All the scenes were awesome and the best for me is Dean scrunching up his hair and winking to the bartender :D I think you are right about Dean being a bit more demony than he would usually be by taking that watch. That is more what Demon!Dean would do than normal Dean :P But, then he goes and does that speech about family to Crowley so, interesting! The letter from Bobby to Sam was also awesome and warns about what terrible thing Sam might do and how much it will cost him :(((
Dean's definitely a mix of regular!Dean and demon!Dean at he moment, which is why that scene with Crowley worked so well. I think at this point, both Dean and Crowley are a human-demon mix (to different degrees) and they're both struggling with it.
Love reading your episode insights as usual. I'm not a huge fan of Dean-Crowley scenes either but this one was so well done...with bonus Crowley using a pitchfork cocktail stirrer, hee!
I'm sure mentioning Lucifer was just a tease, but what possibilities...
Exactly, what I like about this show is that you never really know what's a tease and what isn't, because there's really nothing outside the bounds of what the boys will do for each other.
