This show fills me with such rage.

I know the show has little to no budget but couldn't they try and show that Sam's hell was, I don't know ... Hellish?

Ugh.

Dean and Bobby: Hey, Sammy? How you doing, pal?
Sam: Couldn't be better.

Bobby: Psst, Dean. Psst. Do you believe, Sam? I'm not sure that I do.
Dean: Yeah ... Well, no.
Bobby: Shouldn't we do something? I dunno. Talk to him or something?
Dean: Hahah. Fuck that guy.
Bobby: ...
Dean: Ehh, what good did talking ever do? He says he's fine. Let's go with that.

Sam: Hey, what's up, ya'll?
Dean and Bobby: Oh. Uh. Hi! Still good?
Sam: Can't complain. Literally.

Death: How are you liking those hallucinations? Pretty cool, right?
Sam: Oh, shit. Thought we might keep that on the dl.
Death: My bad.

Dean: Really, Sam? You didn't think to tell me about the hallucinations?
Sam: ...
Dean: C'mon!
Sam: Were you not in the earlier scene?
Dean: Oh, right.

I don't even know how to properly express how much the whole Castiel "he's our friend! Let's help him even though he screwed us over and played us from the beginning and wants to destroy the world" pisses me off. I was so full of burning rage at the end there.

Maybe if there hadn't been a Ruby, I wouldn't feel this way. But there was. And I do.

Now, I know that Ruby wasn't Dean's friend. But then, I don't really think that Castiel and Sam are all that close.

And I know that Ruby was a demon. And Castiel is an angel.

However. However.

I feel that Ruby helped them out just as much, if not more than Castiel has.

Yes, she had her reasons for doing so. But then, so did Castiel. And as I've mentioned before without Castiel Ruby wouldn't have gotten anywhere in her game plan.

And, I don't know. It just really fucking bothers me that they can kill Ruby without any thought and not feel badly but they have to help save Castiel when both angel and demon fucked them over.

Why is he so special? No, seriously. Why?

Evil!Castiel looks like he might be slightly interesting for a bit. Maybe he'll be one of those vain villains and invest in some lip balm.

Next week's promo looked pretty Sam centric. So, my guess is it'll focus on Sam for maybe 12 minutes.

I liked it. I liked the whole thing. Ok, I don't like Sammy's face on fire cuz it's a sucky effect.

I cannot put into words how much I love Death. He is fantastic! Even when he's really pissed, he's completely in control. I think I could watch a whole show about him.

I liked seeing Lucifer again. MP is so good. And they fixed his face so he's pretty again! I think he's been drinking a lot of beer in the cage though cuz he seems to have a little belly now.

I love crazy Leviathon (sp?)Cas. Misha does crazy like a pro. He played three different characters tonight and I think he pulled it off really well. Yes, I do often want to give him some Chapstick but hey, nobody is perfect.

I know you have never been a Castiel fan but I have always had a soft spot for him. I think that might have a lot to do with our differing views on show right now.

All in all, good season opener. Looking forward to seeing where they go with this.

Death was my favourite in this episode, I really like the actor. I loved him on Once a Thief.

And it was really nice seeing Mark Pellegrino.

I hope that ExtraEvilCastiel is going to be as much fun as he looked like he might be.

If you will recall, Death was also a dealer of rare occult objects on Lost Girl. Don't know the actor's name but he will always be Death to me. ;)

Julian Richings.

And yes. Yes, he was. I had forgotten about that.
