Supernatural: My Bloody Valentine

This was an episode I could really sink my teeth into, not like our star crossed lovers in the beginning, more like, well now that's all I can think about.  That was a terribly gross scene and it set the tone for a terribly gross episode.  War was a tough enemy, yet fairly straight forward, after this episode, Famine takes the most deadly crown by forcing an entire town to get exactly what it craves.  
Dean has an empty soul.  Sad but believable the way his life, death, and life has gone.  Famine did not want him dead, he wanted to understand him.

Sam's demon blood problem continues to get worse and worse.  Except for the fact that every time he drinks he becomes a demon destruction machine.  There has got to be a way for Sam to harness his power without giving in to his dark side.  I think angel blood is on the menu for Sam in the near future.  

It seemed that Sam was locked in Bobby's panic room at the end of this episode.  Why did we not get to see Bobby?  I will not complain too much considering we did get a lot of Castiel this episode.  Cas becoming a meat eater was hilarious, he blamed Jimmy his vessel.  Cas on the phone with Dean was hilarious, "I'm gonna hang up now". Cas and the Cupid was hilarious "there, there".

The Cupid was terrific.  It was a fun misdirection and threw the viewer off the trail of the more sinister Famine.  I could have done without the nakedness of Cupid but when Castiel explained, "this is how he says hello" it was comic genius.  

A quick look at the Wikiepedia entry on the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" explained that we should expect War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death.  I would assume Pestilence comes next, unless Supernatural is replacing Pestilence with Conquest (which is apparently an interpretation) in which case I'd expect to see Conquest round out our horsemen visits.

The rings of the horsemen obviously have power.  Will Sam and Dean put them on and gain that power or will they continue down the path of Frodo and attempt to not use the rings under any circumstances?

In any event, this is the type of Supernatural episode I've come to expect and look forward to, can't wait for it to return!
