Review
I am not a cartoon fan and I'm certainly not a Dabb & Loflin fan, so I went into this episode with a lot of trepidation. Like many episodes that I go into with bottom barrel hopes, this one exceeded my expectations especially in the rewatch. While I did not find it near as funny as expected and anvils (both figurative and literal) were raining down like April in St. Louis, I found this episode to be completely middle ground. After watching it, nothing stood out as extremely good or extremely bad and in the long run it is utterly forgettable to me. Some of the constant things that always annoy me were there - increasing angel powers, no gloves at crime scene, secondary characters saving the day. These always take me out of the moment but it's getting to be an every episode thing these days and therefore still annoying but nothing special. The only thing that really irritated me beyond the norm was Dean offering Cas shotgun. That was beyond the pale for me and created a possible future scenario that would have had me ranting. However, since Cas is not joining them right now, the whole thing is tabled for a future rant. What I liked best were the special effects. The VFX team is really hitting it out of the park this season and much kudos to them. I don't know if they have a bigger budget or they got new equipment and people or what, but everything from Purgatory to the cartoon world in Fred's mind has been awesome this season.
