Pretty good and good for this season. Fun and it didn’t slow to a miserable crawl. Going purely with MotW is a good idea for this show right now.
I liked the sergeant well enough but his vigilante turn wasn’t something I liked and it wasn’t necessary. I’m sure he'll be back to die some time in the near future. It was heavy in the music, maybe it was a nod to westerns but I didn’t care for it. That relationship between corra (? The vintage cliche) and the ghoul was just not something I liked watching. Jack accidentally killing someone? Shocking! Like... he’s right about himself... I find that so many of the emotional scenes with and about him ring hollow.

Not as good as last week, though there were some laugh-out-loud moments with Dean and Castiel, and I liked Sarge. Athena wasn't a bad character, but I found her relationship with Dave quite boring. At least she made it through the episode. Interesting that Dean didn't actually need the rest of TFW2.0 to finish the Hunt.
I'm so over Jack. It's not the actor. He's actually pretty engaging. It's that they keep piling on the powers without really exploring the character. He's a walking deus ex machina and it's too much. The writing regarding him is lazy and it gets deep into Gary Stu territory when the rest of the main characters constantly try to hold his hand and reassure him he can be a good boy. I just don't care. I'm fine with his going off to Australia with Jesse and not coming back.

5/10 for me.
Perez best script yet, though that's not saying much.
Dean being in the action but not getting the kill this time, yeah I'm okay with that, Sarge's role in it was personal and he deserved the kill. I liked seeing Dean happy because Cas is back, and at least some real TFW and Dean and Cas scenes.
The Jack love-fest (with all of TFW molly-coddling him) was way over the top, his whining was exhausting to watch, and majorly detracted from the overall enjoyment for me.

Trying to catch up a little this weekend from being out of town since Nov 13. Attended the Hawaii con because, you know, it was a chance to go to Hawaii. Anyway, watched this one on a friend's iPad almost a week later, the day I was flying back to reality (waaaah!). Sure, as Perez episodes go, this was the best because for the first time he actually allowed Dean to work the entire case/episode and have some up front and personal time with the guest star, who I agree deserved the kill, though at least Dean was in on the action. Jensen relayed a funny story about the getting into the hole thing when they were filming, so maybe that infused a little more charm into the episode than might normally be there. I agree the whole thing with all the guys fretting over Jack, especially Castiel who never met the dude until this episode but acts like he personally gave birth to him, is moronic. But I still get the impression, especially the way the guys talked about Jack's addition to the show, that there are big plans for this character in the spin-off, and that's what everyone BTS cares about, and that's not going to change. The reunion scene ended up being very meh and cut short due almost entirely to Castiel's phantom birth pangs about Jack, and the episode loses big points for that. Gets back some of that for stylin' "Texas Ranger" Dean. Overall, the episode was slow and not particularly interesting. But given the incredibly low ass bar I have for Perez's writing - even more than most on this writing staff - it was his best effort for my money. Not saying much, no, but at least Dean didn't disappear 15 minutes into the episode to go on a coffee run or something. 5/10
