Supernatural - First Born

I am wondering if I need to read the Bible to make sense of the Supernatural episodes. Take the latest episode for example. I have no idea who Cain is and who Abel was. Consequently, I don't know if the First Blade is part of the story from Bible or is part of the season plot. Whatever the case, it was good to see the demons getting slaughtered in one fell swoop. Kudos to the writers for making the character of Crowley so likeable that it is a treat to watch him work with Dean knowing fully well that he does keep secrets from Dean and if not for Abaddon, would not have been on the same side as the Winchesters!

I wonder why Sam is so mad at Dean. After all, he let Gadreel possess (if you can use this term for an angel!) Sam just to save his life. Any sibling would do the same - even Sam would have done the same for Dean. They have done their separate ways in the past and it hasn't worked for either of them then.

Castiel, however, is a darling in his new Avatar as a 'humanized' angel. Sort of a middle point between the maddeningly cold practical angel and annoyingly stupid human. I know there is no way but I keep hoping that they will find some means of bringing Kevin back from the dead.

I suspect that the mark on Dean is going to play a major role in the forthcoming episodes but hope its cost doesn't translate to the death of Sam, Dean or Castiel. :-(

Surely this plot is heaps better than the Leviathans and their plan to turn the entire mankind into meal. Can't wait till next Friday for the next episode :-)
