Nah, they got the rare treasure "plot armor." They just had to sacrifice every side character to get it.

That assault on crowley's fortress when sam says "2 outta 3" since he had to kill one of them really made me think how long it has been since we've seen them actually perform an exorcism.

That time that Sam busted out the phone to say the incantation was great. I want to see more stuff like that.
Or the time he said the exorcism incantation in reverse to send the demon back into the vessel.

Oh man the phone thing was so great but really, my favorite is easily in season 3 when they do the mass exorcism through the police stations PA system, I loved stuff like that.
They touched on the reason for that again this last episode, demons ride those bodies hard and odds are the hosts are dead anyway.

Plot Armor only gives them Auto Re-raise. They actually did need to level up to be able to fistfight demons instead of just being tossed around with telekinesis, which only now happens when they fight bosses.

Demons going from bosses to mooks is totally a video game trope. Like in Dark Souls the first time you fight the Capra Demon he's all tough and he's a boss and he'll kill you in 2 hits. Later on you then just start meeting him in packs of 3, and they're alot easier than before.
Totally deserved power curve.

Lol that's what i was thinking too. Dark Souls 1 & 2 both did that. I'm not sure if Demon Souls did, but they likely did.
If the Knights of Hell were still around they would probably be what Demons used to be.

The funny thing is that now Dean and Sam can punch demons and angels in the face and they actually hurt them, before punching a demon would do nothing.
Invisible ink tattoos? I wouldn't put it past them.
The problem is that they are starting to get to bottleneck territory. Angels and demons dont have the same punch anymore and unless amara starts making dupes, new, formerly unknown monsters come knocking, or the brothers start going after witches or the thule or something a tier above, its gonna make the bros seem too strong, which means they'll probably fall harder on the secrets and lies storylines.
The problem is you can't go through all the shit they have and no be a cut above the average monster. The whole issue in the early seasons was they had no idea what they were dealing with on a given hunt and it left them at a disadvantage, now they've seen so much shit that they do generally know what they're dealing with before they roll into town. Even if they don't know exactly what works, they've got enough experience to make a very good guess.
And im taking away from that, but there needs to be more variety in the beasts they fight. Seeing them ghosts demons all the time is pretty weak at this point. We know they can solo them. Hell they can take on large groups. But half the fun in seeing the winchesters do dirt is taking on monsters that they struggle with only to overcome. They still havent legitimately beat a witch/wizard yet, although looks to be the endgame for the season
That I can agree with. I feel like even with different monsters, a lot of them overlap so their experience would carry them through. I'm with you on the witches thing though, the Grand Coven could be a really interesting baddie to face for next season.

I get that reference.These are demons now, basically.
11x9 summary:
AMARA UNLEASHES HER POWER UPON THE WORLD Amara (guest star Emily Swallow) unleashes her power on the local townspeople as she issues a shocking challenge. Dean (Jensen Ackles) tries to better understand the hold Amara has on him, while Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Crowley (Mark Sheppard) come up with a plan that could have disastrous consequences.

Lol Dean catching Sam praying. It's like he got him masturbating or something.
Bunny Mask reminds me of Goosebumps The Haunted Mask.
Killer bunnies, killer Jesters, what's next killer whales

Him swinging dat 12kg like it's nothing though...

It is funny all the teasers for the episode were about the bunny mask & it's, seemingly, already gone.

Poor Sam, as if he needed more reason to be scared shitless of clowns.

No, the people he killed treated the son badly, so uncle's ghost is getting revenge. That's my theory besides the pedo angle shown.

Well shit, pedo angle it is.

Good to see ghosts haven't become as weak as Demons.
Great, now that she's a hunter she's going to die...God dammit!

He's probably going to take a trip to the cage and see what's up. They should be able to communicate with Luci without opening it up.

So, was he a pedo....?

This episode feels like the weakest in the season so far. Baby was good filler, this was moderately okay filler. I do like how they kept the consistency of Sam's phobia of clowns.
Only parts I really liked were:
Dean catching Sam praying and taunting him for it.
Sam shitting his pants in the elevator.
The uneasy feeling a bunny head staring at you gave.
And Sam bringing up the cage at the end.
Speaking of the cage, I thought it would be bigger, considering it was designed to hold Lucifer's Archangel form, and considering Castial said his Angel form was the size of the size of the Crystler building(iirc), and he was a seraphim at that point. You'd think an Arachangel would be even larger. Maybe I'm just looking too much into it.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
That's the first thing that popped into my mind too.
Pretty good filler episode, this season's wining streak keeps going. I still find Sheriff Donna kind of sexy.

I was about to correct you and so hell no Jody is the sexist sheriff. Then I remembered she had a last name.

Jody is the best, Bobby had damn fine taste in ladies.
...Bobby
EVERYTIME B-DUBS EVERY. DAMN. TIME! First it was Meg, now Bobby! Stop making me feel!
Earlier today I was thinking about yesterdays episode and remembered seeing Jody and wondered to myself why Bobby hasn't dated her yet...then I remembered why </3.
It's not on purpose
If the CW still wants a Supernatural spin-off it should be based around a Jody/Donna team up. It would be so awesome, especially when they
bring Bobby back and have him take care of Jody's wards while she's away kicking ass
Just do it and print money CW, just do it!

That's what many of us have been saying since the Mills/Donna team up last year. It would be awesome.
Supernatural has a ton of potential spin off that they are sitting on. And the spin off attempt we got was that typical cw series
