Dean even knows where the human portal spits out people (Maine).<br /> Now that it has located for a while, I wasn't surprised that a rogue reaper might know where it's portal is and developed a portal for his personal use and gain.<br /><br />As far as the backdoor, demons go and stay in hell, monsters go and stay in purgatory. I don't think they can just jump through that rabbit hole, even if they wanted to do so. It made sense to me.<br /><br />Just my two cents...<br />peace outArielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-10567713255632665692013-04-05T18:05:59.148-04:002013-04-05T18:05:59.148-04:00I like Anon's angel theory.

Felt sad for the loss of Bennie, glad Bobby went to heaven--but will Naomi use him to force Sam and Dean to do what she wants now that she has him up there to use for leverage? I don't trust that angel; she messed with Castiel! I think Kevin lost his Crowley-addled mind and both he and Mama Tran are both ok. I hope so. I fear for what this second trial is going to do to Sam physically. Is he turning into a supernatural being and his body is rejecting it? I wonder. The next ep looks meh to me. I want Cas to come back.

When I saw the windows weren't shattered at the end, I was thinking Kevin bugged out, but you are right that Naomi very pointedly noted that the boat wasn't warded against angels. And she is absolutely not to be trusted, even if she did allow Bobby's soul to ascend. (I wonder though, as Bobby did, if <i>Supernatural</i> Heaven is really all that wonderful these days.)<br /><br />I was really bothered by how easily Sam located Bobby and how easily they escaped, but I was simultaneously so thrilled to actually see Bobby that I let it slide. And apparently I was audibly reacting to things through the whole episode --- when it was over, the hubby actually asked me what had happened, because I'd been making so much noise --- so I must have been pretty engaged throughout. I was never happy about about Bobby lingering on as a ghost after his fantastic death episode, but I'm glad to know that his soul isn't being tortured in hell. Even if this trial ended up feeling relatively easy. :)Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-2591347620524138992013-04-05T10:32:19.180-04:002013-04-05T10:32:19.180-04:00Billie,
I have never posted before but have read ...Billie,<br /><br />I have never posted before but have read you for years.I have absolutely loved the past few episodes and was so disappointed when you didn't and I worried you had lost love for our show (and our boys). <br /><br />I am glad you enjoyed this week's episode as much as I did. I understand that many are upset about the continuity, history and sometimes the things that don't make common sense with this show. But after 8 years I have decided to just go along for the ride and enjoy it for what it is.<br /><br />I was super excited and surprised that Bobby was back. So glad they kept that a secret. The grin on my face was huge! <br /><br />But my absolute favorite part of the whole episode were the scenes between Dean and Benny. Jensen and Ty did a great job of showing us how tortured they were about the situation. Benny-not being able to adjust, knowing he would stay in Purgatory and knowing that he would disappoint Dean because he did. And Dean-so damaged and closed off, finally finding another member to join his family member (like Bobby and Cas) and then having to ask him to make such a sacrifice. You could feel the pain in that scene. And that is why I love this show!<br /><br />Before I go, I wanted to mention that I do not think Crowley got Kevin, or that Kevin went off the deep end by taking off (although he is definitely losing it). The boat was protected from Demons but not Angels (as we saw Naomi pop in to talk to Dean). I think it was Naomi playing with Kevin's mind and making him think she was Crowley. Crowley spent most of the episode frustrated becasue he couldn't find Kevin and didn't know what the Winchesters were up to. So if he was in Kevin's mind he would have known where he was and what was going on. <br /><br />Naomi is not to be trusted and if Dean does, well, I will be sorely disappointed in my main hunter:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-28236535070203931392013-04-05T08:21:42.035-04:002013-04-05T08:21:42.035-04:00What a poorly, poorly executed episode. What shoul...What a poorly, poorly executed episode. What should have been epic turned out to be very disappointing. It's like they tried to cram 2 episodes into one. They really messed up the history of this show so badly. That easy to get into purgatory and hell eh? It's too bad Crowley and Cas spent AN ENTIRE SEASON LOOKING FOR A WAY INTO PURGATORY!! Oh, and remember when Sam tried torturing a crossroads demon to rescue Dean out of hell? Oh you didn't remember that writers? One simple torture of another black actor (it's gotta be said, black actors don't fare very well on this show. I think Rufus was the only black guy that wasn't evil or didn't die right away) and viola! You got yourself a convenient Reaper coyote (on the mortal plane?) who can easily take you to purgatory. <br /><br />Luckily Sam took the easy way through purgatory. You know, it's not like Dean struggled there or anything. And that's so funny that the backdoor into hell happened to be right next to Bobby's cell. Cause we all know what a walk in a park hell is. Very nice of that lone demon to be in a human body too. And it's great that purgatory is so easy to navigate. Benny found Sam in like a minute. And the portal just happened to be a few feet away. And Dean managed to telepot to the Maine woods in just a few hours. I just loved how easy everything was this episode :)<br /><br />1 out of 4 conveniently located hell prisons.

I kept thinking 'Gee, it sure is great that with all the millions (billions?) of demons and souls in hell, Sam stumbles across Bobby in a couple of minutes.'<br /><br />Did Crowley take Kevin? I was thinking he might have had some sort of breakdown and imagined the whole thing, then disappeared to God knows where. The boat was really neat when the boys found it, and the windows weren't broken. Didn't the windows supposedly break when Crowley showed up? Until we have confirmation, I'm going to blame Dean and his genius idea of over medicating a frightened teenage boy who happens to be a prophet. Largely because I don't want Mrs. Tran to be dead.<br /><br />I love the Buffy references you always manage to slip in to your reviews, Billie. They always make me smile. :)sunbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553429350476841139noreply@blogger.com
