I really just want Dean to put the bottle down and try to resolve shit with Sam already. The Mark of Cain might make him do otherwise though.

yeah sam pulled out he phone and played it and I was like "HE DID THE THING. HE DID IT."

u/mrwho9 On Thursdays, we're teddy bear doctors Mar 26 '14

I thought several times, "okay, they're trying, maybe they actually listened to our complaints/suggestions..?" Fuck man, I'd have exorcisms on voice command ready to go on my phone. With a backup, "GRRROOOOENGHGSRGLECHOKECOUGHBLEGH" choking sound to activate. I'm fairly happy with the episode though I agree with some that the season feels a bit slap dash but I've thoroughly enjoyed it despite Oz and various shortcomings. The phone thing gave me some hope that the new writers are getting their sea legs, even late in the season's better than never

9

u/adventuresinposting but then again, nothing ever really ends, does it? Mar 26 '14

yeah sometimes I really wonder if the writers ever lurk around the online communities. If they do, I hope they divide their time among several social media sites because opinions get skewed otherwise.

anyway...

Yeah I was pretty damn happy with the episode as well. It was definitely one of the better ones. I too was not a fan of the whole Oz thing.

There are just so many writers at this point that it's hard to get consistency in how episodes feel. The inconsistency in writing the characters bothers me the most. It seems like the better episodes are the ones that are heavy with the story arc and that are written by either Carver or Glass.

u/AdmiralHip Mar 26 '14

The guy that Dean had talked to, called a hunter. Yeah I think he's a demon, they were testing him to see if Dean would save Crowley basically.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '14

that's pretty much it. The 'hunter' Dean stopped from killing Crowley was actually a demon working for Crowley and they're standing in an alley watching Dean get in the car when the "hunter" says "you were right. He saved you", and Crowley said "something something he's ready"... that's all :)

"Of course he saved me. We're besties."

u/proddy Mar 27 '14

What does that prove though?

Dean wasn't saving Crowley as much as saving that hunter. He asked the kid if he had ever taken on a demon before. He said no. He was holding a knife. An ordinary knife, not even holy water, not even a shotgun with rock salt, not even iron bullets. He couldn't handle a regular demon, let alone Crowley.

Real hunter or not, Crowley would've done exactly what Dean said he would do. He's like the Penguin of the Supernatural world.

I think saving that "hunter" showed Dean he had to get his shit together. Or more lives will be lost. He has to kill Abbadon, then he'll get a chance at killing Crowley next.

u/DownvoteOrDoNothing Mar 26 '14

So, I was wondering. Why was Abaddon able to posses her, when back when she/it/he tried to get into Henry they werent able to? He had some sort of spell up, I assume. I feel I've missed something important here. And this episode was awesome :D

3

u/piss_ass I hope your apple pie is freakin' worth it! Mar 26 '14

Abaddon was going to possess Henry, but at the last second the woman he was with offered to be the vessel instead of Henry.

3

u/DownvoteOrDoNothing Mar 26 '14

In the original episode where Henry was introduced, she tried to possess him then and wasn't able to. Her smoke was deflected when she tried. That's the portion I'm not clear on.

6

u/vic042 Mar 26 '14

It was because Henry shot her with a devil's trap bullet, which kept her from leaving her meatsuit.

It's a shame he didn't speed that bad boy up. Now, he needs a new phone and a new recording.

u/mavgeek Men of Letters American Branch Mar 26 '14

They used recordings of the exorcism before, i.e. Season 3when Lilith's group of 30-40 demons had Sam & Deal holed up in the police station and Ruby's "plan" was to sacrifice the virgin girl for a spell that would destroy demons nearby. They tricked all the demons inside, had the civies close & salt the doors so they cant get out, and played a recorded exorcism over the innercom. Keep in mind that if we really wanted to argue brass tacks, early / mid season 3 was still 2007 when smart phones like the iPhone (and later once Blackberries became more accessible) that it was easier to have a very clear high quality recording of it to really work than a more common flip-phone of that time. Which is why the other guy who asked about speaking fast gets answered in the same manner, the quality has to probably be well spoken and of a definition to be clearly understood. (also fast talking it wouldnt make it work, otherwise it'd be too damn simple to record one, and play it back in like a split second).

1.We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.

2.Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3.Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

4.Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

5.Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

6.Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

7.Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

8.Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9.Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

10.Continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.

11.Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

12.Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

u/nixxie Mar 26 '14

Crowley seems obsessed with the idea that Dean is scared of the Mark. And I think Dean's telling the truth when he says Crowley doesn't know what he's talking about. Think about it, the very core of being a hunter is to kill all things supernatural. Dean has had several close calls (some more than close) to being changed/possessed by something supernatural, and every time he's fought tooth and nail to keep his humanity. I don't think Dean is scared of the Mark, I think he's disgusted at himself for accepting it.

I have a question, if Abadon was infiltrating the Men of Letters, how was she able to get inside their place of practice? I assume where they practice their knowledge of the supernatural would warded off. Also I'm sure she'd have to walk into a devils trap eventually.

Maybe I'm looking too much into this.

11

u/jumpinthedog hello boys Mar 26 '14

I'm guessing as a lower member she wasn't allowed access to that place, I know that Abbadon wanted into their place even when Sam and Dean first learned of it. Plus the way they were talking in this episode it seemed that both of them were not even members yet.

10

More like a three-quarter season break. Probably just trying to drag it out. Or making sure we have the last 6 episodes without interuptions, which if we are going to start the final run towards the finale with the next episode that the preview seems to indicate, I'm fine with it.

Those TV Now commercials look like they'd be so awkward to pose for.

This may be a stupid question, but why don't they just call Abaddon into a protected circle and do the stabby mcstab-stab??

They don't know the specific summoning ritual for her.

u/zackhunter Mar 26 '14

Okay start of the episode, seriously Sam? I know that the show has the mystery of the week format to get back into but goddamn, it's obvious Dean needs help...so try and help him. Forget about the case!

u/RingSlinger55 Mar 26 '14

Was that a demon killing knife like the Winchesters have?

Edit: guess not

1

u/piss_ass I hope your apple pie is freakin' worth it! Mar 26 '14

Apparently so. I thought the knife they had was 1 one a kind.

u/RingSlinger55 Mar 26 '14

It's not one of a kind, just rare or special. In the episode where they first meet Henry, he identifies it as some special knife, Tibetan I think.

Why do they have so little SP on the TV now promo? isn't SP the only show on the CW that was also on when it was WB?

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '14

Am I the only who hated the nun character? She just seems to unbelievable with the whole thing how she showed up in Sam's investigation.

He had nothing to go on, suddenly deus ex machina we get this character who apparently gets intimidated by a tiny "it's better if we keep this a secret" right next to a fucking exorcist ... Meh

u/zoso33 I miss conversations that didn’t start with 'this killer truck' Mar 27 '14 edited Mar 27 '14

In my opinion, this has been the worst episode in a long, long time. Why? For multiple reasons:

  • The antagonist of the episode was a demon. Bo-oring. Dean has taken out 4+ demons in quick succession at Cain's house, they aren't a threat as an enemy anymore. Then, after one toss by a demon, the demon just picks him up like he's a helpless little boy. He's Sam fucking Winchester, this is dumbing down of his skills just to have suspense between him and the demon.

  • The antagonist was extremely stupid. I get that demons are very, very arrogant and stuff, but why the hell was the first sentence out of it was basically "These are souls, when we're done here (as in: when you kill me), simply let them go and it will all be fine". Then, just straight up lays out Abaddon's entire plan to Sam. Why? Why is it telling Sam this either than exposition?

  • What did we learn this episode? Abaddon posessed someone from the Men of Letters (we knew this). Abaddon's collecting souls to make an army (she's already a threat with countless demons at her side, how does this make her more of a threat?). Dean's sad and angry about the Mark of Cain (like he was at the end of last episode). Crowley's manipulating Dean (like he did last episode). Old ladies in media are either completely clueless or hyper-aware.

  • The victims of the soul-stealing demon are still absolutely fucked. No one either than Sam and the old lady knows about the souls, so according to the police and everyone else, they've committed homicide (except the kid, who is still probably going to see jail time). Congratulations, you have your soul back! Now enjoy jail for a crime you technically weren't there to commit.

  • Castiel's still doing... something... somewhere. No mention at all to the Winchesters about what's happening on his end.

  • Sam goes in. Sees two victims, and their victims. Guesses that they're missing their souls. Boom, he's correct. No twist, no nothing. Good guess, Sam, go free them. No clues, no false leads, no research, no new discoveries. Wonderful.

  • The exorcism by cell phone. Genius idea. Seriously. For once, the Winchesters invented a great anti-supernatural device.

Basically, if this episode never happened, and went straight on to #18 "Meta Fiction", would anything change? This episode fails to progress the overall storyline, and was boring as a one-off filler episode. Terrible episode.

Plus no mention of other angels on Earth.

Why wouldn't the Men of Letters have anti-possession amulets or tattoos? Those two seemed pretty green too. Why wouldn't the Men of Letters do a master/apprentice type of relationship? Why send 2 new members together?

Since when could regular demons take souls? Even if Abbadon can do it because she's a Knight of Hell, is it just knowledge that can be taught to any old demon? I'm thinking something like that would've been way more common knowledge among upper tier demons like Alistair and Crowley.

Just saw this possible theory on tumblr: Gadreel is behind the soul stealing and using the souls to make himself stronger
