Overall not a bad season premiere. Loved the new opening title card. Best one since season three, IMO.
I guess I'm supposed to care that Sam now suddenly cares about Dean but honestly, it's too little too late for me. It doesn't just suddenly erase the last oh…three years of treating Dean like absolute crap.
But my entire focus was on Dean anyway. I've seen folks say "Big deal, it's just soulless Sam all over again". Yeah, maybe, but this time Jensen finally gets to flex his acting chops and have Dean turn it around on Sam and not give a crap about him. Yeah, I'm sure he'll feel all wracked with guilt eventually about not caring about what Cole was threatening to do to Sam, but I cheered inside that the tables were turned and now SAM can experience being tossed to the side.
Anyone want to guess what kind of history Cole has with Dean? Especially if it goes back a long time.
It was great to see DemonDean just letting loose and doing whatever he wanted, but I guess I was expecting him to be more…evil. Not just sleeping around and drinking. I thought after all those months together with Crowley they'd really be up to no good. But not so much. Not yet at least. It was way cool to see Dean beating the crap out of people, though! LOL!
Not much to say about Cas. I love him, but his parts with Hannah were kinda boring. I do wonder what they're going to do about his grace, though. Metatron has it, right?
As much as I want Dean to remain a demon as long as possible so that he actually has a storyline, I am curious as to how Sam (and probably Cas) are going to "cure" him. Because at this point I don't have a clue.
What did YOU guys think of "Black"?
I'll just leave you all with this - The Misadventures of Crowley and Squirrel. Need I say more? [snerk]
