Yep, I’m still trying to process this one. Don’t take that as a negative though. This is a good thing. I haven’t been this stunned in a while. Not even last season’s finale left me as shaken as “The Executioner’s Song”. It was an emotional script, but they put so much more into this episode…
From the title alone, there was no doubt this was going to be a powerful episode. Throw in an appearance by Cain and everything is fully primed for one of those emotionally overwhelming game-changers that will be talked about for months to come. For the most part, this did the job – with just few,…
Summary: This episode was written by Robert Berens and directed by Phil Sgriccia. The episode brings us back to the most important myth arc of the past season and a half – the Mark of Cain.

I always take a cautious approach to any script that has Eugenie Ross-Leming and Brad Buckner as the writers. My expectations are lower, as are my standards. What you get from these two is fairly basic stuff, and it’s always considered a good outing when they don’t butcher canon into a thousand bits and produce…
Summary: This episode was written by Ross-Lemming and Buckner and picks up where the last episode before hiatus left – in the aftermath of Dean’s “massacre.”
Hiatus is over! Here is what we know about episode 10. The CW official synopsis 10.10 The Hunter Games THE AFTERMATH — After the massacre at the ranch, Dean (Jensen Ackles), Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Castiel (Misha Collins) double their efforts to find a cure for the Mark of Cain but there is nothing in…
Before leaving Castiel, Hannah asked a very poignant question: “What of the humans, whose lives we sacrifice in the name of that mission, what of them?” She was discussing the angels and their endless abuses of human kind under the guise of the “mission,” but as we see in “The Things We Left Behind” this…
