Supernatural: Exile on Main Street

If I had to describe this episode in one word it would be “odd”. Everything felt too easy, too simple, nothing seems earned. Dean went to hell and he spent the better part of a season dealing with it. Sam went to hell and his “recovery” happened completely off screen. Grandpa Campbell died when Dean went back in time yet he magically is pulled down at the exact time Sam is dragged up.

What could be important enough to the players in heaven or hell to put the Winchesters back into play? They killed the Devil and they spoiled the plans of the angels so who would bring them back? I would get it if it was Castiel, but only if he brought back Sam. There is no need to bring grandpa back as well, especially if he was happy upstairs.

Grandpa Campbell already has a secret he is keeping from the Winchester side of his family. Why capture the Djinn? Sammy seems to have completely accepted his extended family and has proven he is morally flexible, so why keep him in the dark? If I had to guess granddaddy knows what brought him back, why it brought him back, and what he needs to do to stay back.

Is Castiel gone this season? That would be a shame, it’s bad enough we are not going to see the prophet Chuck, considering he was God and all. It also seems odd that a new female character would be introduced that is related to Sam and Dean. Speaking of odd why would trained hunters accept two ghosts into their ranks? I’m thinking that the Campbell’s are not who they say they are.

It’s going to be hard to get psyched about the next big bad considering the last one was the Devil himself.
