I have very mixed feelings about this episode.
The first few minutes of the episode (and quite a bit of the rest)? Hilarious. Dean learning about slash, Sam knowing what slash is (!), the covers of the Supernatural books, the fangirl. Kripke does know the fandom, doesn't he? There were so many bits and pieces of fandom and existing Supernatural merchandise in that episode, I'll probably have to watch it a few more times to catch everything. And I was so hoping that Kripke'd make a guest appearance as "Carver Edlund".
Castiel? Amazing, especially when he's "not helping Dean". I can't tell you how much I love him by now. He's developed the most amazing sense of humour without even noticing ("You should have seen Luke.") and conspires with Dean because he wants to help. And if he can't break the rules then he's going to find a way to bend them. He's so ready to fall. And that might be a very good idea looking at Zachariah. What's he up to?
But there's a BUT: The whole Sam and Dean meet their fanbase was so very carcktastic that I feel slightly uncomfortable about that being part of the overall storyarc. I was hoping for (and expecting) a solution that would undo the whole thing. Not a Trickster again but something Trickster-y.
...
The Winchester Gospels? Seriously?
The "New New Testament" made me think of "New New York" with the "New New Doctor". I like it when I'm reminded of one of my favourite shows by another one of my favourite shows.
Lost:
I'm not overly impressed by the episode. The part on the island - the whole Ben story and how Jack's refusal to save him is going to create the Ben we know - was great. But the Kate-flashbacks were pretty boring. They built up this whole mystery of what happened to Aaron and Kate won't talk about it and now it turns out that she left him with his grandmother? What's the exciting, possibly terrible thing about that? Am I missing something?
This, however, means that we still don't know what "promise" it was Ben had to keep and why he turned up covered in blood. But we can be pretty sure now that it had nothing to do with Aaron... *is scared*
