9X6 Character development?

Season 8 ended with Sam injecting Crowley, the King of Hell, with human blood. Alas, we see some humanity from the most devious demon alive. Although, Sam didn’t succeed in converting Crowley back to human, his ray of humanity was briefly visible. Come season 9, it seemed Crowley was back to him old self. Stuck inside a devils trap in Sam and Dean’s bunker; enabling him to run hell. Episode 5 of season 9 is the first time we’re able to see that there is possibly some humanity remaining in him.

In this episode, Sam and Kevin need Crowley to help the decipher some of the ancient writing on the Angel tablet. Of course, Crowley is only willing to help for something in return. Crowley requests to make a call to Abanddon (the demon who has taken over running hell). In order to make a call to another demon, a bowl of blood must be present. Kevin fills a couple syringes of blood leaving a few left over. Near the end of the episode when Sam is putting everything away, he notices a syringe missing.

Sam heads back to the dungeon where Crowley is being held but stops before Crowley notices him. Sam stands near the doorway and watches as Crowley injects himself with the missing syringe. Of course the episode ends there, leaving it open for interpretation. To me this could either the beginning of a very interesting character development, or a get ‘out of jail free card’. Does Crowley really want to become human? Or does he want to become human enough to escape the devil trap? I think it would be very interesting watching Crowley’s transformation back to a human being. Would his personality drastically change? Would he still be as confident and brute? Or would he return to the human who sold his soul to a demon for a couple extra inches down there…

9X3

After this most recent episode I don't know whether so scream or cry. Both are probably good. The third episode of the new season and I was really just been waiting for Dean and Cas to be reunited. And of course it does happen in the last two minutes of the episode, but it doesn't last long.

Now, Meg was supposed to be the one to have sex with Cas first; for numerous reasons. She is the demon, who took care of him when he was gaining back his memory and gave him the nickname Clarence. Clarence is also the name he is going by now (for safety purposes). Instead, it had to be the angel who killed him the next morning. How very lovely. Of course Ezekiel heals Cas, but that's not really the point. Poor human Cas, who has been homeless since he got his grace stolen endures nothing but trouble. Cas is part of the reason why all the angels fell from heaven and that’s why they all want him dead.

Now, the last two minutes of the episode when Dean and Cas are reunited, Ezekiel says Cas must leave. Even though Sam and Dean stay in a bunker that is supposed to be safe from anything supernatural; angels excluded, I suppose. Cas is too big of a target, so everyone will be in danger if he stays there. Not sure where Cas is going to go now, and if he’s just going to be attracting trouble consistently. Hopefully he catches a break so he’s not in danger the whole season. 

9X5

So, Dean turning into man's best friend this episode was interesting to say the least. Although, not physically a dog, he was mentally. With the added benefit being able to communicate with not only dogs, but every other animal as well. Of course the sassiest of all being birds. Not only do they enjoy pooping on cars, they do it for fun. I knew it. "bet your ride is going to look sweet in white" - birds. (they use the spell to communicate with animals because the animals are the only witnesses)

The most disturbing part of this episode wasn't the fridge full of hearts and organs. It was watching 

the monster devour a live cat. The irony is that the "monster" is a human, who went a bit crazy to feel powerful. Dying from cancer he found his own form of alternative medicine. By ingesting certain animal organs with a shamanism spells he's able to temporarily gain powers of that animal. The sad thing is, if this was possible I have a feeling people would actually do it.

"Dog isn't really man's best friend. The real reason we were put here was to--" And the communicating with dogs spell wears off.

9X4 Halloween

There's nothing better than the Halloween special episodes. Although some people might say on a show about the supernatural "it's always kind of like Halloween", I can assure you it's not. Halloween is made to be fun, so the Halloween special episodes reflect that. The show itself is fun, but can tend to have serious themes going on. Thus, the Halloween episode is a brief relief from the serious situations. Of course my opinion may be a bit biased due to my favorite holiday being Halloween.

It made perfect sense for this episode that they included one of the most fun loving characters; Charlie. Charlie is basically the loveable nerd, who’s like Dean and Sam’s younger sister they never had. This episode they hunt the Wicked Witch of the West with the help of Dorothy herself.

The best part of this episode was how badass Dorothy actually is. Nothing like how she’s portrayed in the movie. Combat boots, motorcycle riding Dorothy likely isn’t what most people would have in mind. Of course she still had her red shoes, which actually contain poison to kill the Wicked Witch. She and Charlie made the perfect team; defeated the Wicked Witch and returned to Oz. Charlie gets to live her dream of living in a fantasy and nothing could suit her better. Even though Charlie is living in Oz I really hope that’s not that last we see of her.
