Supernatural is finally back! In the 10th episode of season 11 Dean and Crowley are trying to save Sam from Lucifer, while Lucifer is trying to get Sam to say yes, and I have thoughts about this.
Well, this is a bit boring. There are a few great lines in this, but all in all, not a very exciting episode.
Rowena's nightmare is playing happy family with Crowley? And interrupting it is how Lucifer turned Rowena to his side? Okay, that's fair. Also, Crowley in a onesie is kinda cute.
So what, no explanation where Cas has been? We're just supposed to assume he has been hanging out by himself and everyone was cool with it? I call bullshit.
I was excited to see that Colin Ford was going to be back on the show. He is an amazing young Sam, but this flashback was crap. What was the fucking point of it? All in all the flashback just aren't working in this episode. Also, "assbutt" is still the best insult ever.
That moment though when out of all the characters on this show Lucifer is the one that makes the most sense... In a way, at least. His observations about Sam and his relationship with Dean are spot on. And we still don't get a good explanation why Sam didn't try to find Dean when he was in Purgatory. Their agreement to not look for the other is not good enough because that is the only time either of them has actually followed it. So yeah, I agree with Lucifer, this is the worst thing Sam has done. And not to get side-tracked or anything, but the reason I think the year with Amelia is the worst Sam ever did is not just because it meant he abandoned Dean but because he also left Kevin at the mercy of Crowley.
"Snapping necks and cashing checks is what I do." Hilarious, yet true, and an excellent foreshadowing to the ending of this episode. It's such a great line.
"Oh, don't worry about Sam" "I'm sorry, have you met me?" Hello self-awareness. Also, this made me laugh, a lot.
Cas, Dean told you to run away if Amara was alive. And now your fellow angel is in trouble and you run towards the Darkness? I know he has some complex about saving all the angels, but dude... Not smart.
Okay, so what was the point of sending Cas to Dean with the message? It's the angels that attacked, so shouldn't you send him to Heaven? Obviously she is not going to harm Dean in any way, so what? She's going after Sam? After Hell?
Thank you Sam for pointing out that last time it took 4 archangels and God himself to lock up the Darkness. Lucifer alone should not be enough. But let's hope he is wrong about Gabriel being dead. Also I'm not 100% buying Lucifer's claim that Michael has lost his mind in the cage. I still think it's more likely that they have worked out their differences and somehow he is going to break out Micheal out of the Cage as well.
So Dean knew that Sam was in the next room or something with Lucifer, but it is Sam yelling that has Dean running to him in panic? Okay...
"Team up over", Crowley you have been saying that for a long time and it still hasn't happened. Not buying it anymore.
I think Cas definitely made a mistake when he said yes to Lucifer, even if it kinda was the only option they (meaning the writers) really had. Sam was never going to allow Lucifer back in and there aren't a lot of vessels that can contain him, so in away this was the only logical way to let Lucifer out. And I'm excited to see more of Misha Collins in this role. But the fact that the devil himself is now out? Not good. And it is a bit of a retcon that Lucifer can now use Cas' body. My theory is that this is like the situation with Nick in season 5; it works, but not as well as it would with Sam. Though Sam is not drinking demon blood anymore, so technically he shouldn't be strong enough to contain Lucifer at the moment in any case.
And finally, Rowena. On one hand I'm upset that this show has killed yet another female character because, seriously, stop doing this! On the other hand I was never a big fan of Rowena. She was always too obvious in her scheming and bit boring. And to be honest, the moment Lucifer was out there was no chance she would survive.
So Lucifer killed Rowena because she was the only one that could open the Cage, but what about the Horsemen's rings? I know, broken record, but I even went back and watched 'Swan Song' to see if I missed anything and the last time the rings are seen, they are in Dean's possession after Sam and Micheal dive into the Cage. So technically there is still a way to open the Cage. Also what the hell happened to the rings?
Hopefully next week gives a few answers.
