Blood will Flow

I would compare this ep more to "swap meat" (5.12) as it didn't really have anything to do with the mytharc and was just a MOC filler ep.

I liked it for the entertainment value and it was awesome seeing Sam get as much screentime as Dean,i also liked the brother dynamics,Dean being honest and yes the boys both looked gorgeous.

I agree the ogling felt a bit weird, i am wondering if it is to show that the mark is ramping up Dean's normal desires, as he seems to be eating more as well.

It is looking to me like the story is really going to rev up in the latter half of the season, i still have faith that it will.

I don't do spoilers anymore either, i found the trailers and clips were giving too much away, or raising expectations of what we were going to see but didn't and i enjoy the show better unspoiled.
