Supernatural S12, E03 and E03

Oh thank God! Sam was rescued at last. It was painful to watch that British chippy inflict horrendous physical and psychological pain on him. Dean and Castiel spectacularly failed to rise to the occasion though. Somehow I knew that mommy dearest would be the one to rescue Sammy. Way to go mom!

More cheer for women is in order, of course. Dear old Rowena did manage to dispatch Lucifer to God knows where. The vessel he was using had totally creeped me out. The guy looked like a horrible mishmash of Liz Hurley, Michael Jackson and the late Hindi movie actor Feroz Khan. Crowley and Castiel managed to reach the crime scene with same punctuality as shown by the Indian police force in countless Hindi movies.

I don't totally get what's going on with Dean and Sam's mom though. Sure, I understand that it would be a tough thing to get back to life after being dead for more than three decades. Where do you even begin to catch up? Plus your own kids are practically strangers to you. But running away is not an option and certainly not for any Winchester. Wonder why she chose that, especially given the fact that she narrowly escaped death twice. You would think someone returning from the Dead would value her life more. I must confess that when she said she isn't sure about being here (or something to that effect!), for a moment, I felt as if she is thinking of ending her life.

But in a way I am glad she is not around for the time being. I was beginning to fear that if she stuck around much longer, something might start brewing between her and Castiel. I am not too sure if angels can fall in love but who knows. :-)

It was cute to see Sam being very understanding about his mom's decision to be away for some time. His EQ is certainly a couple of notches higher than that of Dean.

Wonder if the writers have run out of ideas when it comes to the cases. The vengeful spirit and frozen hearts seems to have been covered in countless horror movies already. Hit the net guys. I am sure there are plenty of other ghosts, ghouls and other assorted creepies, just waiting in the wings to be discovered.
