Great to see Jessica again in the 'Then'. Sigh. The 'Pilot' - such an awesome episode. Shame we haven't had many of those this season. Also a shame that, despite Jess being in the 'Then', Adrianne Palicki's name wasn't listed in the guest stars - so immediately I knew she wouldn't be in the episode, which was a major disappointment.
I noticed in the scene at the hospital that Sam's hair has certainly gotten longer than usual. Soon it'll be down past his shoulders (now there's a scary thought). I had to laugh at his weird side to side head movements he was making after both him and Dean tried to convince the doctor that they weren't crazy people.
Great to see Crowley/Mark Sheppard again. Loved his surprising the boys and then knocking on the Impala's window (after Sam's failed attempt at stabbing him) with his "Fancy a fag and a chat?" line. Good on Sam for bringing up the loss of "good people" (Jo and Ellen) due to the Colt not working on Lucifer. I liked both Crowley's "Which, by the way, makes me the most buggered son in all of creation." line and then Dean's "Holy crap, we don't care!" line. Also loved Crowley getting ticked off at the "friggin' spotlight" and exploding it. His calling Pestilence "Sneezy"? Also good.
Heh, Whitney the jock/Eric Johnson from Season 1 of Smallville, now slitting throats and making "phone calls" via his chalice of evil (ala Meg in Season 1 of this show).
I'm glad Sam brought up the question of how Bobby managed to regain control of his own body for a moment (when he was possessed in this season's premiere). I'd always wondered about that. Too bad their getting drunk/phone conversation had to devolve into yet another yelling match. Can't anyone on this show ever have a disagreements *without* yelling at each other? Again with the mention of asses in this show? Brady saying that he was going to get retribution by ripping it right out of Dean's ass? This show really has an obsession with the buttocks of the Winchesters. It's kinda weird.
THANKYOU, Crowley, for taking a crowbar to that jerk's head! Weird camera push-ins here. Yes, Dean, that's what you get, working with a demon. Crowley in the Impala was amusing with his "Up yours, mate." to Dean, but then things got very interesting when he mentioned that Brady and Sam had history. Given what was shown in the 'Then', I knew it had to involve Jessica. Dean replying to Crowley with a "colourful rejoinder" about Crowley's "cornshoot"? Heh. Good one, Dean.
The revelation that Sam "had a devil on his shoulder", even back in Sophomore Year, and that Brady was the one who introduced Sam to Jess was quite good (especially watching Sam put two and two together). *Finally* some decent anger from Sam in regards to Jess's death! About damn time! I'm glad he hasn't forgotten about her. I'm also glad he pointed out to Dean that trusting a demon (like Crowley) was a mistake Sam himself had made in the past (witb both Ruby and Brady).
Good talk between Crowley and Brady.
That was also a good tension-filled scene between Sam and Brady, with Brady taunting/tormenting Sam about Jess's death (and how Brady was the one who actually offed her). I SO wanted to see Sam make the bastard suffer as horribly as possible, and I was disappointed that he didn't...but Sam *did* make the right move. Anyway, thanks to Crowley and his telling another demon that he and Brady were "lovers in league against Satan", he gets to be on Lucifer's eternal torment list (loved Crowley's "Hello, darling." to Brady).
Had to laugh at Dean's "Oh, well, good for yooou!" response to Sam's "I told you!" (in regards to trusting Crowley). Can't say I approved of Hellhound dog fighting, but was glad that Crowley came through in the end. Also glad that Sam killed that Brady a-hole (though I would have preferred he suffered more).
Interesting ending with Crowley saying he needed Bobby to make a wish/exchange his soul for info on where Death was. Heh, Crowley helped a lot of Grammy winners. No surprises there. This was a really good episode (loads better than last week's crap-fest). Bring on the last two episodes of Season 5!
