Supernatural S10E18 - The Book of the Damned

This week on Supernatural everything is perfect and amazing. Cas and Metatron take a road trip to find Castiel's grace, while Charlie gets back to Sam and Dean after finding the Book of the Damned. Let's discuss this!


This episode is so awesome, I love everything about it and I have a lot to say about it.

So Charlie has been all over the world searching for this book. Huh. Usually this show is so USA-centric. And she is being followed by creepy guys. Also, Charlie, you have a sword looking thing as a weapon? That is so cool.

Castiel and Metatron's road trip to Castiel's grace is surprisingly hilarious. I love how Cas is getting so tired of Metatron's constant chatter that he calls Sam to ask if he can kill the bastard. Just punch him unconscious, that will help a little.

I like that Dean comes clean to Sam about what Crowley and Rowena told him. And he even apologizes for not telling Sam sooner! If only Sam could return the favour. But more on that later.

Sam's right, it has been a while since we saw Dean relaxed and singing along to the music while driving. It is a beautiful sight. I really hope Dean gets to take that vacation at some point.

Also, they have never been on a beach?? Dean, I believe, but Sam.. He lived in Stanford for a while and never went to the beach? I may not know a lot about California, but aren't there beaches everywhere in there? I find it hard to believe he never went.

The diner scene is awkward. Metatron is very annoying here and I wish Cas could punch him again. At least Cas is as annoyed as I am. And I love that he is holding a grudge because Metatron killed Dean. It doesn't matter that Dean's not dead anymore, Cas will never forgive that.

And here we go again, Dean is being so honest about the book's effect on him and on the Mark. And he is so desperate to get away from it so he won't use it to create more evil. This whole scene is so great. For Sam, the end justifies the means. As long as the Mark comes off, he's willing to pay the price. Dean, on the other hand, is fighting to keep himself from causing any harm until he can't fight anymore. It's just like season 9, except reverse.

I hate to admit this, but Metatron has a point. Cas doesn't really belong in Heaven anymore, he is not like other angels. So what is he going to do now? But this obviously distracts Cas enough to forget that Metatron is a douchebag who needs constant supervision, which allows him to do some kind of spell or something on Cas. Seriously, what the hell did you do to him??

Sam and Charlie's talk is amazing. She is wonderful in her ability to get the Winchesters open up. Also, Sam seems to have taken Dean's usual role as the hypocrite this season. He tells Charlie that he is still okay with him dying, but he is not allowing Dean the same choice. That hunting is his life, there is nothing else, but he can't do it without Dean. Seriously? Dean said the same thing last year (and many times before that) and Sam resented Dean for it. But now it's okay for Sam to do the same things Dean did? Sam, you are making such bad choices this season...

So now Metatron has the demon tablet. What the hell is he going to do with that? But that doesn't matter so much, cos Cas got his grace back! That is amazing. But really, wouldn't it be kinda easy to find Metatron? He is injured and human, so how the hell did he get away from Cas?

I have a question. Did Dean really not think it weird that the guy manning the register at a convenience store was wearing a suit and a tie? Other than that this scene is a thing of beauty. So tense, even though Dean looks like he has no care in the world. Brilliant.

Cas and Charlie have finally met! I can die happy. This is amazing. I love how she is all "wow" and then immediately asking him to heal her. "Did we just become best friends?" I need more of this!

So not only is Sam keeping his and Cas' "research" a secret from Dean but he even has Cas lying to Dean. This is not going to end well. Come on, Sam! Just last season you were saying that secrets ruin relationships and now you're also making Dean's best friend lie to him, so that he wouldn't find out how far you're willing to go to save him. This is bullshit.

That scene of everyone sitting around eating and laughing is beautiful. Can Charlie and Cas just be around all the time and go hunting with Sam and Dean? Seriously, that would be the best thing ever. But since this is Supernatural I figured something was going to happen to ruin the moment. I saw Ruth Connell's name in the credits so I thought Rowena was gonna find a way to come busting in. What happens is actually much worse. Because, Sam, this is the worst idea ever! This is like trusting Ruby and drinking demon blood bad! Why the fuck would you give the book to Rowena?!? Can't you just keep it and try to translate it yourself? Rowena will screw you over. Also, Dean is going to be majorly pissed. This is going to go so badly... The last episodes of this season are going to be so intense. I can't wait.
