    Good choice!  Still think Sam should have...you know...for Becky saving his life.

    ^^; I,m a bit disapointed...not cause it was Becky, but because people said it was going to be a really funny episode...some fun part here and there...but nothing like Yellow Fever..french mistake..or anything like that

    But anyway, the jersey Devil will be awesome next week :D

    Well... so NOT a fan of this one. The last 10 minutes were good. The first 35 or so.. dumb as frigging hell. Heck, even the last 10 stunk except for Crowley. What the hell is up with Sera and this sudden need for Dean and Sam to no longer need each other as brothers? Sam doesn't need him anymore? 

    Sorry, this episode did nothing for me, except make me slightly nauseous. 

    4 out of 10

    Definitely liked the Becky angle and the collective scream from all the ladies watching the episode.  Had a Misery flashback with the bed scene and loved Crowley dealing with his renegade employee.

    Seemed like back to basics.

    wow that was a terrible episode for the most part the last one they had like that was season 4's monster movie episode. This was terrible and i think they totally ruined weddings for me on the show. I am never usually dissapointed that much in an episode but this sucked! Up unto the part with crowley was terribel (dean's sidekick was good but didnt have a whole lot) and the crowly thing was cool and was a good answer to the question i had all season: where is all the demons? They've been the major pain in the butt for the last 3 seasons and then this seasons there were barely any. But it does make sense Crowley is holding them back. And its funny how everything the demons hope to be their leader or allies always betray them Lucifer, Crowley (season 5), and now the leviathans all owe the demons for their release and power but in the end they (except for Crowley) want demons dead. This wedding thing sucked and was only good at bringing Crowley back for a small appearance. Next week’s looks a little better but I really hope they don’t waste an episode like this again. I honestly after tonight have been a huge fan of the show but after watching this season I can tell the show might not get past 8 (hopefully they at least get to that). The leviathans are like the ori on stargate sg-1 they lasted 2 seasons and ended in a movie. Only I hope supernatural were to get a movie lol. I rate this episode an ok only because of Crowley.

    I thought the same thing.  They ditched it so the cops wouldn't find them. Doesn't seem like that's the case anymore.

    Maybe Dean's still figuring on getting those nicer rims!

    Ok, WHAT THE HELL?! I've got to say, Dabb and Loflin should never be allowed to write an episode again.
    Was that supposed to be funny? Because I found it mostly excruciating.
    Ok, I get the point they were trying to make and the case was actually clever but was it really necessary to bring back arguably the single most obnoxious character in the history of the show? I mean, it was cute the first time...stretching it the second...but this was overkill. How many times can they skewer the fan base before it becomes old?
    The humor was stretched, the secondary characters were terrible.
    Crowley's appearance at the end was the one saving grace. You knew he was going to eventually show up and make a deal with the guys and as always Mark Sheppard knocked it out of the park, but that wasn't enough to save the whole thing.
    The last scene had its moments too but I'm not liking this vibe from Sera Gamble, it's like she's trying to keep the brothers apart. Doesn't she get that their bond is what makes the friggin' show work?!
    I like that they're both growing up and beginning to adjust their respective roles but I just hope they can come to the realization that they can be their own people and still look out for each other. They don't NEED a friggin' wedge driven between them so stop trying to do it already!
    Ugh...a major regression from last week...about 5 out of 10 on this one.

    yea if u read mine to at top i cant believe all the hype for this episode and they totally ruined it. I was so bored for the first 30 mins and disgusted by the way they did this i was on my laptop while watching at times. Then i saw crowley on and i watched the rest of the episode. SERA IF UR READING THIS, TERRIBLE EPISODE! U have done so good with the last 2 seasons but this really was not good.

    Was Garth the little guy played by DJ Qualls?  If so, I thought he sucked.  I usually like DJ Qualls and maybe my perceptionw was being ruined by the presence of Becky...she kind of zaps the enjoyment out of everything around her...but I got nothing out of him.

    I really enjoyed this episode.  I really thought it was great with Becky being the bride.  I knew she was using a spell of some sort.  Didn't see the cross-roads demon coming.  Loved seeing Crowley.  I didn't pay attention to the credits, so I didn't realize he would be in it.  I loved how Sam was all sappy when he was drugged, but when he was his normal self, well he had to be tied up.  I am glad that Becky decided to tell Sam the truth and help Sam and Dean defeat the demon.

    Bored...I was literally cringing.  As soon as I realized the bride was Becky I wanted to puke!  It was literally painful to watch until Crowley showed up.   Oh and I know it's a minor quibble but...what the hell was with Dean and the sweater?!   Dean does NOT wear friggin' sweaters...even in disguise!  GEEZE! :p

    Okay everyone take a chill pill...............the episode was funny and at least the brothers are talking like adults. The only thing troubling was Deans face at the end but I recognize that look. It is the look of "wow he really has grown up" Dean was experiencing sort of an empty nest syndrome of sorts. Let's not forget fans that Dean has been holding Sammy since Sammy was what ...6 months old. He is more daddy than brother..........in any event the episode was a great.............because any episode that ends with my boys talking and smiling and getting into the same car is an AWESOME episode.. the previews for next week look great............it is like old time SPN ..................thank goodness.

    I didn't love it, although it wasn't that bad.  Becky was annoying, the writing was pretty awful, and the plot wasn't all that interesting.  The thing that made it better was Jensen and Jared's acting.  They're always the thing that saves poorly written episodes like this one.  It might've been my least favorite episode so far this season, but it's still Supernatural so I can't hate it.  :D

    It was an excellent episode. One of the best of the season. The brothers relationship is finally getting back on track.

    It looks to me like the "hardcore" fangirls are mad because the Becky character is an obvious diss at them.

  25. DeangirlNovember 12, 2011 at 3:20 AM

    No chill pill needed.   There was nothing funny about that episode...it was just dumb.  Yes, I realize that Dean was coming to the realization that he doesn't need to hold on anymore.  Like I said, that's a good thing, but I don't want him to let go entirely.  They still need to count on each other, and I think they'll realize that.   That part doesn't really bother me that much.  But I refuse to give this episode credit for humor...it was flat out stupid.

    You don't have to drag the whole serie with only 1 episode^^; All season have bad episodes, Season 6 had a lot and it didn't stop to have some really great episode in season 7 and we can have many more great ones coming up for the rest of the season and next year.

    Season 1 had awful like, like Route 666 and Bug...and we're still here doing season 7

    I knew from the start that it was going to be a light episode so I didn't expect much.  Did like the collective scream from all the ladies when the veil was lifted.

    Cameo from Kathy Bates in the bedroom scene would have kicked ass.

    Amen, Pigeon!   Can't speak for anyone else but it's not being irrational on my part...I can actually see the humor in the Becky character but it wasn't that great that she needed to be brough back three times.  You can overdo a joke and this one is toast.   I actually loved the fan convention episode in season 5...for me that was the whole poking fun at the fan base at its best.  It should've stopped there.  This was just stretching it.

    I agree so much! That last scene made me cry. Didn't Gamble say the brothers were going to be back stronger than ever this season? I sure haven't seen it! With the lies and the insults and the 'I don't need you anymore?' I'm not sure how much more of this I can take. We dealt with this enough during seasons four and five. I really don't need a repeat performance.
    They need each other. Their brothers and that has been the point of the show for six seasons. If their getting away from that, then this isn't Supernatural.

  47. jillyanneNovember 12, 2011 at 3:52 AM

    I liked it more than I expected to. And I expected to hate it once I knew Becky was in it, and she lived down to my expectations.  I can't believe they let her redeem herself by killing the demon guy. I so wish they hadn't done that. 

    However. I loved the acting from Jared and Jensen. They always make something great out of whatever they're given.
    I loved seeing Crowley - he makes me laugh even when he's being evil. 
    I really need to rewatch before I comment further, but like I said, I did like it more than I expected to.

    What I found ironic is how a lot of people hate Becky from the beginning cause she's ''crazy'', overeacting or whatever, cause she's 'annoying'

    But after if there's a bad episode, everyone is going like angry and drag the whole show down.
    Every show has good and bad episodes. Last season, in the first 8, the only 2 good were Weekend at Bobbys and Family matters, this season we had couple of awesome one in the first 2 and Slash Fiction + couple of others that weren't great, but had moments like the one last week. Next week look really great, so why is it so hard to just let go of that one and move on to the next one? Instead of being an hater of a character who act like many people of the fandom

    Personnally, I don,t mind Becky. I don't like her, but I don't hate her either, I'm neutral, so this episode was 'ok'

    I'm not entirely sure how to vote for this episode. It wasn't exactly meta as advertised... I'm not sure what it was. It did have it's moments. I loved Sam trying to talk around the rag in his mouth and Dean's face when he dropped off the waffle iron. Jensen and Jared did a fantastic job with what they were given. I liked the overall case -- a demon using a loophole -- and the fact that Crowley showed up to set things straight. Even though they're demons, they are bound by one rule. It's nice to know even evil has a line it won't cross.

    That being said, I found the ep a bit uneven. Of course Becky was manipulating Sam (a love potion was actually one of the explanations I considered) and the fact that it was a demon manipulating her was actually not a bad plot twist. But it was frustrating to see it go on for so long when we knew it was a sham from the start. I wish they would've let the actual reason come out much sooner so it didn't look like Sam was nuts.

    And as for Garth, I agree with Bobby's sentiment -- how the hell is he still alive? He had his funny moments, like when he tried to take charge and tell Dean 'this is the plan." And the "I thought you'd be taller" line made me giggle. But for the most part he was kinda sad and pathetic. In the end, I kind of saw him as a new pet that followed Dean home. Maybe that was my problem with this ep. One sad and pathetic character is enough, but with two it's complete overkill. Garth and Becky made the Winchesters look like poster kids for mental health. And we all know how far off the mark that is.

    It wasn't horrible, but it isn't one I'm going to be watching over and over. Too much Becky, too little Winchester interaction. I'm not sure what they're alluding to, but Sam suddenly "knowing his way around the plate" is a little quick. I'm like Dean, waiting for the other shoe to fall. And I think the problem with Dean not needing to watch out for Sam is that without his family to protect, he has no idea who he is. Ever since he came back from Hell, he's been making sure he had someone (Sam, Lisa, Ben, Cas, victims, etc.) to help and take care of so he doesn't have to face the emptiness inside himself. Now that Cas has ripped the last bit of trust away, I think he's going to find it a lot harder to find a reason within himself to go on. Maybe that's his secret? 

    I am looking forward to next weeks hunt for the Jersey Devil. It looks amazingly creepy and suspenseful as Supernatural episodes should. As long as Dabb and Laughlin didn't have anything to do with writing it. :)

    I think they are stronger.  We are seeing a more mature relationship between the brothers.  They will always need each other, but now more as equals.  Not as Dean looking out for Sam only.  Sam was only saying that Dean can stop revolving everything around Sam's well being and think more about himself.  No where in there is the thought that they are going to move on without each other.  

    I can see where both brothers are coming from.  I have a friend who is battling mental illness and for more years than I can count I have felt like I have been out on a ledge just waiting for the bad to happen.  He is getting better finally, but for me, I am having the hardest time "coming down off the ledge" as I like to say.  Afraid the other foot is going to drop and I will be unprepared.  That is where I see Dean right now.  He can see that Sam is ok and is being told that he is ok, but is just having a really hard time coming off the ledge.  Sam is just telling him that it is ok to let go and move on into a better place (if that makes sense)  

    So looking at it that way, I'm very excited to see how the brothers' relationship grows.

    This was a great episode.  I imagine that there will be Sam bondage photos all over the Internet by the time I get home from work tomorrow. lol.  I was afraid it would be horrible with Becky, but it was well written, well directed, and very well acted.   DJ Qualls made me laugh.  Dean was great, but the look on his face when Sam told him I don't need you any more broke my heart.   The look at the end when Sam told him that he didn't have to be protected any more and Dean should be glad he was free, said it all.  Dean has acknowledged that Sam is a grown man, but Dean still has to be needed.  He needs to be there for his Sammy.  It has been ingrained for way too long.  

    All in all, this was an excellent story.  It was good to see Crowley.  I really love the beard.  HIs attitude towards the Winchesters was interesting.  Telling them that he had warned the demons to stay away because of the Leviathans sure put a strange look on Dean's face.  

    I am going to have to watch this several more times.  It was so good.  Even Becky was not quite as obnoxious as she usually is.  Only because I felt sorry for her. Otherwise, I disliked her as much I did in season 5.  I do wish that my thought earlier would come true.  I almost thought it was going to until Dean told Garth no.  I think Garth and Becky would suit each other.

    You could watch Dean's face when Sam said I don't need you and then at end and know beyond a doubt that Dean needs Sam and needs for Sam to need him.  Right now Sam is on a  high  because of the freedom from guilt.  Give him time.  He's gonna recognize that Dean is essential to his life.  Right now he's enjoying what he thinks is freedom.  It's really not, but he doesn't know that yet.

    I am sorry that some of you feel this way.  It is not a bad episode at all.  It was highly enjoyable.  I enjoyed the farcical part.  I ached during the serious part.  It was well written.  The acting was good.  I enjoyed it just for enjoyment's sake.  I am a writer and I liked the writing in this one.

    I really liked this episode.  Loved Dean in the chapel.  His facial expressions were classic.  I loved Sam tied up :)  And I loved the plot line about Crowley keeping the demons away so they can concentrate on the Leviathans.  Guess Crowley is still the only piece on the game board that doesn't underestimate the "denim clad nightmares" :)

    As I stated below, I enjoy where they are taking the brothers' relationship.  Sam isn't a kid anymore and Dean needs to step down off of the ledge worrying that Sam is going to crash and burn.  I will like to see a more even relationship develop where they rely on each other equally.

  64. jensenfan1978November 12, 2011 at 4:54 AM

    I disagree with that.  There have not been that many duds this season at all.  I think each of us has our expectations.  I don't expect every episode to knock my socks off.  Several this season already have.  I don't mind those that don't.  For me, a so so or even bad episode of Supernatural with Sam and Dean in it is better then what I see elsewhere.  I prefer this show over anything else and always will.  I enjoy it.  I expect to laugh, cry, be frightened, or just enjoy.  Any of those are fine, and they have never let me down. This one may have been goofy.  I don't mind.  They do goofy better than anyone I know and they make it fun.

    I can appreciate that.  Almost every season I have one I really don't want to watch again.  The one I dislike the most is Season 4  After School Special.  Mainly because Dean is not Sylvester Stallone and that is how young Dean was played.

Becky got the vial from the crossroads demon about 10 minutes in at the banquet hall.  We pretty much knew the gig was up then. I thought it would be funnier and agree that Garth was sad and pathetic, but aren't all hunters?  They dress the same, have the same tired, unshaven look.

    Just a thought or two.

    Next week looks like wall-to-wall action.

    I don't like Becky and expected to hate this episode, but I found parts of it very funny, parts of it kind of silly, and Dean was great.  DJ Qualls was very funny.  I felt sorry for Dean.  I got to admit Sam in bondage was fun to watch.

    I do believe that Jensen and Jared can save any scene, but this, in my opinion was not one that sucked.  It had a lot of good moments.  I can live with that.  I've seen worse.  Most of the worse is not on this show.

  72. SuePoNovember 12, 2011 at 5:08 AM

    10 minutes? Really? It seemed soooo much longer. :) We had to have a wedding, Sam argue with Dean after the wedding and tell him where they were going (whatever happened to show, don't tell?), have Becky stop at the reunion, have the tall pretty chick oogle over Sam, then out to the parking lot and meet XR demon Guy. Then we finally see a vial and, although it isn't made too obvious, still have to wait a while longer for Sam to start to freak out and get normal. THEN Becky doses him again. Maybe it was just me, but that seemed like FOREVER!!!! 

    And yeah, all hunters seem to dress alike and have the same look (only some -- ie: Winchesters -- can pull it off much better than others.) but I don't think they're all sad and pathetic. I'm talking mangy kicked puppy sad and pathetic. Sam and Dean never strike me as mangy kicked puppies. :)

    Next week we're back to suspense. Awesome.

    Don't get me wrong, I'll take a bad Supernatural episode over almost anything else out there, but I guess I'm spoiled.  I'm so used to them being so much better than anything else on TV these days that when they fall short of that it's disappoiting.  And I'm sorry, but yeah, there have been a few weaker episodes already this season, but like I said, every season has its duds.  Even the most talented people can have an off day.

  75. Wilson CrawfordNovember 12, 2011 at 5:15 AM

    I thought the episode was... hmmm... Probably between bad and great. So..."OK" I suppose. I was expecting much worse. And while watching, I saw everything happen as I would expect: Love potion, surprise Becky bride, she eventually helps the brothers, the crossroads demon, etc. I thought everyone (Garth, Crowley, Sam, Dean and the crossroads demon) all did well in their parts. Garth was funny at times, but I thought there wasn't quite enough of him. I don't hate Becky as much this season, but just the fact that they found a way to drag her back into the story irks me. I think that in the end, it showed how strong Sam is to tell her that she just needs to focus her energy on something else, something more productive. (Which is a nice lesson learned *cough*) and then at the end, when Sam and Dean made up even more, I enjoyed that as well. My favorite part, without a doubt, was when Crowley intervened and spit out some answers. Crowley immediately made the episode better for me. Also, I thought the accidental deaths were well-done this episode as well. 

    All in all, it wasn't awful by any means. But I also feel like aside from the Crowley scene, I'm probably just ignoring this episode from now on. I still liked it more than the Osiris episode though.

  78. DeangirlNovember 12, 2011 at 5:20 AM

    Couldn't agree more, SuePo!   It was obvious at the end there that Dean literally doesn't know how to exist without taking care of Sam.  It's been so ingrained in him since he was 4, that's it literally all he's had and ever since the end of Season 5 he's been struggling with the idea of letting Sam grow up.  I didn't really have a problem with that, I like how they're letting both brothers grow up a bit.  I just think the real answer is somewhere in the middle...Dean needs to let Sam grow but still be there for him and Sam needs to stand on his own two feet but still rely on big brother at times.  Hopefully they can find that balance somehow. :)

    Very well acted, yes...I'll give you that.   As for the rest?  Don't think so.  The directing was almost a non factor and other than the Crowley scene and the ending, the writing sucked.  There were good moments but for the most part it was strained.  I know all shows have good and bad episodes, but when the good has been as brilliant as it has on SPN, the bad really stands out even more and this is a perfect example of that.

    This was a sub-par episode.

     - Becky is okay in very very small doses so an entire Becky episode was WAY too much.
     - If they could channel all of Becky's crazy into something cool or useful the character would be a lot more fun.  Unfortunately, that's not the way it went.
     - Except for Crowley, there were no surprises.  Once I knew the bride was Becky, the episode basically wrote itself.  That's not a good thing.
     - DJ Qualls' material wasn't very funny.  He did what he could with the part but it was poorly written.
     - I don't like "throwaway" episodes and this was one of them.  It took an entire episode to make two important points (1. - Crowley is more ally than enemy right now, 2. - Dean needs to take care of Dean) that they could have accomplished in a scene or two.  It's wasteful.

    My bottom line on Becky:
    I think the actress gives great performances.  As for the character, I don't really love or hate her.  She is what she is and I can take her or leave her.  She has her moments.  I strongly believe that a lot of the people who really hate her feel that way because she's the most meta character on the show by far.  I guess, to some people (not all but some), meta isn't so funny when the Supernatural writers hold up a big mirror to the SPN fangirl nation.  That mirror's name is Becky.

    You had me right up to the last paragraph.   Once again, can't speak for others but as far as I'm concerned, I have no problem laughing at myself.  I thought the fan convention episode in Season 5 turned that mirror on us perfectly and was exceptionally well done.  I feel the character of Becky is over done (has nothing to do with the acress herself).  As you said, ok in small doses but not as the center of a whole episode.
    She just annoys me but she wasn't actually my biggest problem with the episode.  That would be, as you said, that it seemed to write itself.  It was a throw away and after all the angst the brothers had gone through in the last couple of episodes, I thought it was really bad timing for a throwaway episode.  Just badly written, badly timed in the overall arc of the season, and disappointing.

    Thank God for Jared, Jensen and Mark Sheppard...they saved this episode from complete trainwreck status, proving that they can turn even dreck into gold!

    "Once again, can't speak for others but as far as I'm concerned, I have no problem laughing at myself."

    No worries.  That's why I was very careful to specify some and not all.  I agree with the crux of your post, by the way.  Crowley and the performances of the leads did salvage an almost entirely forgettable episode.  When Crowley popped up onscreen, I literally said "saved in the nick of time."

    mmm, I dunno, I liked the light tone and the predictability, it was an easy ep. Kinda filler? yes, necessary? no. A fun tv hour? yes. Not the biggest Becky fan, but this episode made me like her better, she's crazy, but at the end she came trhough to help the brothers. Perkins performance was great, a lesser actor would be grating, but she veers wonderfuly between annoying and sweet and creepy. I like that Becy is part of the show, she amuses me.

    I like to think that Qualls character went back to her place and now they hunt together.

    I'd say its less a female thing than a she is incredibly annoying thing.  She's one thing the majority of the fandom seems to agree on.  I know fans who don't participate online and even they had a negative reaction to Becky coming back again.  She's just really easy to hate.  Can't believe Supernatural kills off 97% of its female characters and she's still living.  It's not just the Winchester life that is unfair.

    After a second watch, I've decided the ep has gone up a notch or two. Still found Becky irritating but I could see past her to the comical element - Sam & Dean's reactions to both her and Garth were hilarious. 
    Loved the wedding cake splattering over the title card. 
    I loved that last scene - Dean's face when Garth hugged him - and Sam's reaction to that.

    It was a throwaway ep in general, but with a few links to the main arc - which is something I think SPN does well. I thought it was fun. I loved Crowley at the end. I loved that even a roofied Sam wanted Dean to be his best man, and to be happy for him. I loved the waffle iron wedding present. The cheating crossroads demon was a good idea. Garth was funny. I loved the scene at the end between the boys. Becky was OK. I don't have the allergic reaction to her that some in the fandom do. I think some see her as the showrunners making fun of them, and she kind of is but a) get a sense of humour, and b) it is affectionate IMO.

    Overall not my favourite ep of the season, but I enjoyed it, and it was far better than any of the 1st 8 eps of s6 - so I'm good.

    Bride just entered.  had to hit pause.  Laughing too hard.  Must catch my breath.  Thanks to "previouslys"  I knew who the bride was the second the door opened.  Hysterical.

    Sam just found Becky's note  book.  I lost it again.  I'm going to have to watch this a second time before it sinks in.

    Hey!  DJ Qualls!!!!  An ep just chock full of goodness!
    I want a tri-racial paraplegic sniper?  eek!  I suppose that's one way to use a waffle iron!

    I'm guessing Becky didn't take the deal.

    Oh Becky, No!  Say it isn't so!  Say it's a trick!

    Whew!

    Not even demons can get me to go anywhere near Blueberry Vodka.

    For once I am absolutely thrilled to see Crowley.  I love the lecture about Hell's integrity. 

    heh heh.. "Temp."

    Aww.  The look on Dean's face at the idea of taking care of himself.

    I usually agree with you on Becky.  She's best in tiny tiny doses, but I didn't have that problem tonight.  The scene that had the most potential for her to annoy me (when she was whining to a hogtied Sam) kept me giggling.   (  Eh...comedy's subjective.  I still haven't figured out why everyone kept saying Scrubs was funny.  Every time I tried to watch...never cracked a smile.  Same problem with 30 Rock, The Office....etc. )

    Anyway, the reason I replied was because I do agree with you about DJ Qualls.  I think they wasted him.   I would have much preferred to see him come in as a major guest star for an ep rather than what just felt like stunt casting.

    I have always hated meta episodes and will no doubt continue to do so until I'm given a valid reason not to.
    The only one that I can really say is supportable is The Monster at the end of the Book, as it had some good scenes  which redeemed it a little, eg,. the laundry scene and the various prophecies playing out. 
    Then there was the scene between Chuck and Sam with the blood addiction reveal, the scene with Lilith and even the exchange with Castiel about the archangels protecting Chuck, plus the awesome Zachariah at the end.


    On the other hand the alternative universe/time travel/ comedy episodes have all been wonderful.
    alt.univ--
    What is and What Never Should Be, It's a Terrible Life, I don't know if Mystery Spot could be included here as it was sort of alt-univ.

    Time travel----
    In the beginning/ The End/The Song Remains the Same/Frontierland.

    Then the comedy episodes have been great too--without any need for meta!
    Tall Tales, Bad Day at Black Rock Yellow fever, Wishful Thinking with the giant teddy bear and 
    Changing Channels which gave us a great comedy episode.

    What I 'm trying to say is that the Supernatural premise gives the writers so many creative opportunities that they don't need to try and suck up to the fans with these cringing meta episodes.

    This is only me as I am sure the majority of you have completely opposing opinions :-)

    I'm someone who always loved Jared's hair and this episode I was wondering where it went. When he was looking straight on to camera we could see it up high and peeking out down low, but from about his nose to his chin it seemed to be glued to his neck. I just saw him at a convention at the end of October and it was glorious... what product do they use? They should not tame the mane!

    I totally agree... I loved it! I laughed and was uncomfortable (in a good way :-)...

    This was supposed to be a light hearted episode to get us ready for the angst in the next two leading up to the mid season break... People shouldn't be hating on it because it wasn't as over the top as Yellow Fever. That episode had some serious funny and some serious angst. This didn't have as much angst or as much funny, but it was still so unexpected.

    I was one of the people hoping the bride was Becky, but I was still surprised at the demon deals and how earnest she was; of course she was also annoying, but that was expected :-)

    I don't really know where to place this episode..Somewhere between ok and great.So,good,I guess.

    Generally,it seems that the writers are taking the same approach as they did in season 6.In the first half of the season we have more stand alone episodes with small details to connect with the major plot line(in this case,the Leviathans).And then I'm guessing that we'll really get into it after the break.The difference with season 6,in my opinion,is that the stand alone episodes(or at least the majority) are better than last year's.

    I enjoyed this episode.I wasn't rolling around laughing,but I was smiling through most of it.Never had a problem with Becky,so I didn't mind that she was the bride.And no matter what everyone thinks of the character,the actress is really good.

    I liked DJ Qualls,but I was probably bound to because he reminds me of Numb3rs. : (
    His character was a little calmer than what I had pictured,but he had his moments.It would be fun to see him again.

    The absolutely best part though were Jared and Jensen's facial expressions.Totally priceless!

    Next episode seems really intense and these are the ones I like the best.It'll be a welcome change,since the last couple episodes had a lighter tone.

    I think it's funny how different the opinions are about this episode. Some people loved it, some even hated it. But that will always be the case, even fan favorites like Changing Channels aren't liked by everyone. Nobody can like all episodes, and nobody has to.

    The brothers are a funny duo. I am glad the writers allow that part of their personalities out of the dim dark baggage compartment sometimes. When I watch the show I do not watch it for soap opera/dramatic qualities I watch it for entertainment! I was and continue to be entertained by this show. The only time I come away with a knot in my stomach is when these brothers are on the outs! That to me is big NO NO. I love the single story shows........there are plenty of monsters out there to keep them busy for a decade of Friday nights. I like Crowley cheering them on to destroy the Leviathan (even though it's because he was dissed by the big boss) doesn't matter because Crowley speaks for the fans..".get rid of them I won't stand in your way!" Crowley wants them gone and so do I. Backstory begone and you SPN writers learn from this and NEVER put one back in.............stop letting us fans finally be happy being back to basics Friday night hunts... and than whammo here comes the angst and melodrama and big bad backstory! Okay enough said...........I love SPN and I love the Brothers.......and Bobby and Baby too!

    "His and hers fake ids?" Only a hunter would think that was romantic!

    Crowley! I love Crowley, it was great to see him.

    But... Dean's face when Sam said he didn't need him. And then at the end. D: He looked upset. I think he needs Sam to need him... Not good. *sigh* I hope this doesn't lead to more angst (who am I kidding? These are the Winchesters; angst is their middle name!) I just want them to be good and not have problems. *double sigh*

    Not the best episode I've ever seen. Not bad, but not remarkable. I'd wish the bride wasn't the real Becky, it could've been a critter. Anyway, I'm ready for the next one.

    I always compare SPN with the latest ep of TVD and this week TVD wins big time. 

    I was very disappointed in this ep, a few chuckles, but all in all maybe a 5 out of 10

    Was glad to see Crowley, with a beard, how hot is that. lol  And to see the Levis mentioned, the cake blow up with the black goo was a nice touch.

    Will watch again to see if it will grow on me, kind of like mold, maybe.

    It was funny for the first few minutes. But then it started feeling kind of rapey. Like, I never liked the fanfics with love potions, because it, as Sam says, feels like getting roofied.
    I enjoyed the episode, but it wasn't one of my favorites. It needed more Garth and less Becky.
    Crowley also apparently did not take the Leviathans rejecting him well. He clearly needs a Garth hug. In fact, Garth hugs for all the characters.

    I liked it.  I went in with appropriate expectations and found it funny.  Becky doesn't annoy me as much as she does others.  The think the actress who plays her does comedy well, and that's what the character is supposed to be - just funny.  We got what seems to be standard in all Supernatural episodes lately:

    - Dean deals with some kind of loss - in this one his role as his brother's protector  (check)
    - The call to Bobby for help (check)
    - The feel-good talk at the end of the episode by the car (check)
    - The gory deaths (check)


    The positives -

    Loved seeing some expressions on Sam's face again.  He went through too long of a non-emotive phase (from about season 5 to about now), and it's nice to see him laugh again.  The expression in his eyes were really funny when he had the rag in his mouth.  There was an episode a couple of seasons ago when both Sam and Dean were wearing hospital masks and all of their expression was in their eyes.  It was a great scene, and this reminded me of that.

    Loved to see Crowley again. 

    The camera work/direction was really good in a lot of scenes.

    Liked the Garth character too, although he didn't really stand out for me.

    It really was funny, and it moved along at a good pace.  The meta comments about the fandom were good.


    The negatives -

    It was Becky.  I would have preferred seeing someone more meaningful like Bella or Jess.

    As nice as it is to see Sam smile, I'm having problems with the fact that they just fast-forwarded past the whole trauma part of the Hell trauma.  The hallucinations are just a symptom of a past injury - they're not him actually dealing with and feeling the pain of the memories, let alone making peace with his RoboSam history.  I was an advocate of Sam emerging from this feeling stronger - like he had faced his worst nightmare and survived - but this was too rushed.  I expected a half-season or full season of him actually facing his nightmare, and that hasn't happened.

    I thought it was awesome! Of course, everyone was right, except for me, about fangirl Becky being Sam's wife. But, it was a setup from the very beginning and I knew that this could not be for real with the two of them. Frankly, I wanted to see Sarah! But, I think Becky has grown up and she is cute and pretty and just a little different from the rest of us, but that is ok. Seeing Crowley after so long was nice, too. So, he gives the boys his "blessing" to hunt and kill the leviathon anyway they can because he does not like them either. I don't think he cares about Cas or where he is. I understand that Misha has signed up for Ringer, but maybe it won't be for long. I miss Cas, but I want the old Cas back and not the bad one. I wonder what happened to the Impala, too, and wish it was back. No one seems to be making a big deal about it not being in service. A great show as always!

    Not my fault if people are reacting exactly like Becky in theirs comments about almost every episodes, over every single details, and then said they hate her cause she's overacting over everything. SPN is a great serie overall, but its still just a serie, no need for people to hate character like they're real or hate episodes like their life depend on it

  138. pinkphoenix1985November 12, 2011 at 4:04 PM

    Having thought about it some more, I think that something went wrong in the concept between script to screen. It could have been really hysterical and played for laughs but something just fell through. I was cringing most of the time just watching Becky on the screen. And while the boys were great acting wise--- there were parts where I felt that even they were just as stunned at some of the scenarios they had to act out. Maybe it was supposed to feel really OOC but then meta episodes lately feel like that to me :( 

    And the last scene was for me just put there to remind people of the struggles the boys are going through. These type of scenes started in S4 as a way of explaining/going into the boys' psyche and while it worked great then, now it is just annoying and repetitive. 

    Just my two cents.

    I'm not going yo even start on the plot holes. But the big one? Sam Winchester is legally dead. He got married under his own name. So, technically, Becky married a dead guy. Not exactly legally binding, so what the hell did we need the whole 'sign an annulment' scene for? How exactly are they going to file that? :) I appreciate the shout out to Sam's law school history and maybe they were attempting to appease the fans by making it painfully obvious that Sam and Becky are no longer married, but since there is no way a dead guy could legally get married in the first place, this scene really insulted my intelligence. maybe it was just me, tho. I wish they would've had Dean make a comment somewhere about Sam Winchester being legally dead, that might have actually been funny.

    Of course they still need each other as brothers.  Sam just means Dean doesn't have tolook out for him any more.  That is a classic younger sibling who feels they are now grown up and mature enough for the older sibling not to hve to look after anymore.  He is not telling Dean he does not need him in his life anymore, just that Dean doesn't need to spend his whold itme looking out for Sam.

    from the second I saw Becky in the promo, I was like "noooooo!"  and when she got all tweet-happy after the wedding, it reminded me of "Misha" in "The French Mistake", which just made me sad haha..

    you could tell pretty early on something was up - the vengeful reunion thing kind of tipped you off, and the suspicious Wiccan (well.. crossroads demon..) hand-off?  yeah.. not everything was going to come up roses in this marriage.. aaaand then presto!  love potion.. it was comforting that Sam immediately knew something was wrong when he snapped out of it the second time - at least he hadn't gone COMPLETELY around the bend..

    I got so sad when Sam told Dean he didn't need him anymore  :(  they've been together for so long, and Dean's always felt responsible for his little brother, so it's obvious that one hit a little too close to home..

    one of the things I love about this show is its ability to poke fun at itself - the dig about how the Supernatural series isn't really that popular was hilarious, and I appreciate that they can joke about it..

    one of my favorite lines of the entire episode goes to Crowley, who was a nice surprise - "This isn't Wall Street, this is Hell... we have a little something called integrity!"

    I did enjoy the episode overall, but I'm really glad Becky won't be back anytime soon.. well, fingers crossed.  I would've gone crazy if the marriage lasted any longer than it did!  It was sweet of Sam to give her advice at the end, though I don't know how much it sunk in!

    it was really nice to see Sam and Dean joking around again at the end, too.. I've missed that!

    Amen on DJ Qualls.  He's an excellent actor and there was real potential for the Garth character but by throwing him in there in a Becky-centric episode, he was totally wasted.  Her character is so over the top that she literally draws all your attention away from anyone else.  It's a testatment to Mark Sheppard's acting that his entrance was like a literal breath of fresh air...he finally wrested the focus back from Becky onto something that actually mattered.  It really say something when you're cheering for the King of Hell!

    And it is much more fun discussing shows that people don't agree on. I see how people didn't like the episode and they are very passionate and well-versed about it. That's what makes it fun.

    My expectations were low once I saw Becky and I think they really missed the boat when they didn't reference "Misery" somehow during the bedroom scene.

    Could have been classic laughs.

    Are you reading more into Crowley's short appearance? He's showed part of his hand by keeping the demons off of the boys while the Leviathan are around. I thought he would try to take the boys out after the Leviathan battle.

    Now I think he's going back after the souls. He knows Death can be bound and he can cause an eclipse. Nothing but souls left in Purgatory.  That would make him unstoppable. Unless someone  beats him to it.

    Just thinking out loud.

    I seem to bucking the trend here but I liked this ep more than last week's. Then again, I've  never disliked Becky as some fans did-  I've only disliked the end scene in TRG with Becky rewriting canon and telling Sam that Bela gave the Colt to Crowley. I felt very sympathetic/empathetic toward Becky even though I would never resort to her means of getting her man. 

    One of the several problems I had with the episode is the "several gap" between TRG and this episode that I had to mentally fill myself: it's 10th reunion time  and it's got to be ripe CRD picking's time, a time when people start to dream of how their is "now" versus what they "dreamed it could be".

    You're post reminded of something. I was in a chatroom with other Supernatural fans after the episode and one of the gals brought up "Jesus" was tempted by and resisted "The Devil" in a desert. Many prophet types go off in the wilderness, fast (granola-munching) to contemplate and wrestle with their own "demons". I thought that was a very astute observation and maybe Sam "had to get away" from Dean for few days because his "SatanVision" was starting to overwhelm him and he doesn't want to worry Dean about because he thinks there's little that Dean can do about it. Obviously at some point, Becky intercepted Sam on his camping trip and dosed his food.

  177. chris684November 13, 2011 at 8:06 PM

    I don't want hallucinations every episode, but there should be more going on here than hallucination. As an example, if someone was kidnapped and tortured for a number of years, there would be a whole range of emotions and reactions the person would have to work through before they started to heal. It may be that Sam is dealing with some of this, but it's all off screen. A half season is too long to put his character's story on hold, especially since they should have started telling Sam's hell story last year. And there's no guarantee we'll get more than a scene or two in the second half.

    They're on record as being dead -- again -- since the sheriff filed reports and the ME faked autobsies etc. Even the LeviaBoss said they couldn't bring them back alive again because it would strain belief even with the American media. He told LeviaGMan to bring the bodies back, but nothing was said about them disappearing. And it was on the news (Bobby and Sheriff Mills saw it) so I would say it's pretty official. Again. :)

    I really enjoyed this episode. I've actually been enjoying the entire season so far, only episodes 3 and 4 were a little weaker, but still ok.

    I never hated Becky, so I was completely fine with her in this episode, some of her and Sam's scenes were hilarious. I was also glad to see a simple demon hunt again, but to be honest at first I thought the guy who was killing those people was something cooler than just a demon. I loved Crowley and the way he defended Hell's honor ;P the guy seriously needs to pop in for more than just a few minutes an episode.

    Well, maybe the plot was a bit too simple for my liking, from the sneak peeks I was expecting some alternate reality or a trickster or sth (now that I think of it... we've never actually had an episode with a trickster before. What we thought was a trickster turned out to be an archangel, so would be cool to see the real thing for a change), but in general it was just another entertaining and strong episode this season. Gotta say, there hasn't been an episode I'd dislike yet, so I call it a success. I'm still liking season 7 a lot.

    Hmmm. I really liked this episode, and I'm liking Season 7, but I feel as if story wise for Sam and Dean, we're going nowhere. So far, Sam's storyline has hardly been addressed, and I feel as if he's OK too fast. I understand that his storyline will probably pick up again soon, and he's only OK right now, but I don't want to wait so long, usually we get some insight into a story arc by now but this season... It would be easier if we had something with Dean, but so far the way they're addressing his problem feels wrong. Me, and many others, understand where he is, but the story isn't giving the situation the emotion Supernatural is good at. I haven't actually felt Dean's pain yet, and I only felt for Sam in the first 2 episodes of the Season. As a whole, Season 7 has some great episodes, but what's missing is the actual STORY for Sam and Dean! We haven't gotten anywhere! The first 2 episodes and Slash Fiction continued the Leviathan storyline, but every other episode has basically been filler. Dean opened up a bit in The Mentalist, but in a very normal, casual way. There was no pure emotion that made me feel for him, other than the understanding and Jensen's face expressions. This is why people are getting annoyed with Dean's arc, it's not being played out right. We as viewers are waiting for Dean to explain something, to feel something for Dean, but all we're getting is Dean drinking. I was one of the fans that liked this storyline, and felt it had lots of potential, but the writers seem to be missing the potential this season, and I still haven't truly felt for Dean yet after 8 episodes.   Supernatural is a great show because of the brothers and their conflicts and problems and the writing, how it makes us feel. When Dean told Sam about his Hell and when Sam killed Madison,my heart tore, because it was written so well. That's what Supernatural is famous for, the emotion, and without that, Supernatural is just awesome, but with no HEART! Every season, the story started from the beginning, and there were always some fillers, but by episode 8, we were well into the story arc. So far, Dean's story arc hasn't gotten much anywhere, he's only confessed to Sam what we already thought of, and even then, is he really getting anywhere in his arc? For Sam, we've gotten episodes 1 and 2, but then we have nothing. I am completely patient, and I can wait, but so far Season 7 has just been awesome episodes that I've really enjoyed, just no heart...

    I enjoyed this episode, but I'm confused when people say we need light episodes after so many dark ones. To me, only episode 1 and 2, and the ending of 3, were dark, everything else seems light as no brother is showing their full hurt. It also doesn't help that we're not getting the dark lighting that we always have. In the motel Sam and Becky had this episode, the lighting and flowers looked exactly like the ones from Changing Channels, when Sam and Dean had to act. That isn't right, it doesn't sit well with me. I love Supernatural, but this Season, something was missing, and I think this is it. Next episode seems awesome, just like every other episode this season in my opinion, but again, where is Sam and Dean's actual colliding storylines?

    I agree that it’s frustrating to have to fill the holes
    ourselves, with only a small possibility that any theory is what the writers had in
    mind. I have to mentally fill for myself in “how” Becky even located Sam after
    2+ years … and devoting 15 -30 seconds several times during the episode and
    shaving this time from non-essential scenes to answer these questions
    would have made the episode more satisfying.

    I agree! The opening was very clever.

    That's right. Forgot about ole Evelyn. Could you imagine hunting, capturing AND bleeding one without Tom Stark's help?

     I agree with just about everything you have said especially the lack of HEART.
    .
    That for me has always been the important thing in the show, the strong and tortured relationship between the brothers.
    In the early seasons there was always something going on in the episodes that made us laugh or cry at their problems.
    There was a more subtle drama portrayed that played with one's emotions, even although most of them were stand alone episodes too, like season 7.
     
    Many have been complaining about the brothers being too close and that it would be more "grown-up" if they were less co-dependent on each other but that's all wrong.

    Take that away, as they seem to be doing in this season, and we are left with the average non-ispiring  horror based series with two normal investigators who happen to be brothers!

    Canon made these brothers something special, destined to cause the Apocalypse and personally tailored to be meat-suits for no less than the Archangel Michael and Lucifer himself, and to become potential soul-mates in Heaven,  and now what do they become--- two normal guys???

    I agree about the lighting too. The lighting in the early seasons was perfect for illustrating the eerieness of the series.
    Normal lighting is not suitable for this show, which is supposed to take place in a shadowy world.

    It was explained during the ep, that they come to Vegas every year and it was in the books that Becky devoured and that was how she found Sam.

    I hated the Schizoid Fan Stereotype Overuse, as usually hated Becky, and the consent issue for me was just ugh. Then again when Sam got pissy with Becky, contradictorily I wanted to smack him, huh.

    Anyhoo, the rest of it : I'm-newly-happy-why-can't-you-accept-it-Sam and WTF???!Dean were kind of hilarious, so was Gareth/Garth(??) the Hunter and scruffy looking Crowley.

    I have been playing on pogo and voting many, many times, will do more when I get back in a couple of hours.  If he does not win, it won't be our fault. lol

    ^^; I agree with you that it's long between the reactions....unless its happening between scenes, that would be sad not seeing it :(

    we saw somewhere that the post-Hell wasn't over. But yeah there's no guarantee it will be in the mid-season or that it will be more than a scene or too, for that we'll need to wait and see before complaining about how big of a part it play and the quality

    "we saw somewhere that the post-Hell wasn't over. But yeah there's no

    scene or too, for that we'll need to wait and see before complaining
    about how big of a part it play and the quality" On the one hand, I agree the final assessment on that story will come after everything is said and done.  But on the other, we first saw at least part of Sam emerge from Hell in Swan Song, and we've had 29 episodes since then. Enough time has passed to have an opinion on the quality of storytelling.  To use another example, you don't have to wait until a series finale before forming an opinion on the quality of a show.  I'm not complaining about the storyline of the second half of this season yet.  I'm expressing disappointment in the pattern of postponements and the lack of depth we've seen in the telling of Sam's story over the past 29 episodes.

    Maybe. That was Dean's speculation on how Becky found Sam and it is probable.

    Thought it was good episode. Didn't enjoy Becky as much this time round (I quite liked her in earlier eps) but I thought Garth was pretty good - wouldn't mind seeing him again. Crowley appearance was a bonus - love that he's keeping the demons out of the way so the Winchesters can deal with the Leviathans.
