this week's Supernatural...

I'm not entirely sure why, but I have to admit that I found the episode kind of boring. The scenes with Dean and the demon and how Dean lures it into a trap after all were kind of neat, and I appreciated Sam and Dean's continuing demon angst and their conversations about John and his deal, that even seemed to have progressed a bit, but the plot of this episode just didn't hook me.

There wasn't a lot of suspense for me, even though the scenes with Dean and the demon were tense. Perhaps it was because Sam didn't get to do anything really exiting while holding the hellhound off.

I know that some people always find Supernatural's monster plots predictable, but I'm usually at least somewhat into the weekly monster cases. I mean, I realize that they often don't hold up to intense nitpicking, and that Supernatural's individual monsters don't all coalesce into a coherent real monster mythology, but for the most part I enjoy their cases.

However, there were lots of little bits that made me squee, like the scene at the beginning when Dean teases Sam about being less notorious.

And the montage at the end definitely worked for making me curious about the upcoming episodes.

Yeah, I liked the creepy people better than the invisible dogs too. It would have been cool if more or the demon victims' (summoners?) perceptions had been affected. Like maybe the guy could have seen Sam deformed and tried to back away or something for more suspense in Sam's part. But I agree that the bits with Dean and the demon were great.
