At first I didn't understand at all when Dean and Sam managed to find the second part. I started looking for where I lost the series. I hate such moments😄😄

One thing bothers me. Angels constantly call people "bald monkeys" - "naked apes". Does this mean that angels in their real form are very hairy?

Well, they finally began to appreciate Kevin's work and how much he had to endure!

And Kevin tricked the King of Hell :)

I feel sorry for Kevin... I don't understand how he didn't just fly off into the sunset at the very beginning.

At first, I was confused even when they managed to find Kevin. I thought they would rewind again and say before these events)) Crowley is a very creative soul))) I must have thought of something))
Metatron, damn, I didn't think I'd ever say this, it doesn't look like the most pretentious of the entire heavenly guard))
Really like an old scribe or librarian)) It's nice, but every new angel with a face like a terminator is already kind of fed up.

Oh, there's Metatron. He seems like some kind of old man. But at least he saved Kevin. And thanks for that. Did he take the stone slab about the angels, too, or did Crowley keep it? And how did Dean know that Sam would feel better after completing the third test? And anyway, what does it mean to cure a demon? Resurrect him? Or turn them back into a human, were they originally human?

So at 8.14 Sam gave Dean a speech about how he was doing these tests for Dean to show him the light, and so on and so forth. And here we already have a 180-degree turn and now he's already doing it for himself, because they're cleaning it up, you see. Sam, Sam, Sam again. And didn't he say at 7.04 that he no longer feels guilty for anything, because he suffered enough in a Cage? Yeah, logic and consistency have clearly left the studio.
Dean is finally turned into a nurse. Jensen could have been allowed to do something more useful for the second half of this season.

Why Sam rejects Dean's concern is unclear. Indeed, it is better to eat, sleep and recuperate as soon as possible. Eating won't help, but it won't make it worse, but not eating in addition to such a condition is unwise. And when his eyesight began to drop, is this really an insufficient hint from the body that you need to lie down for a while, and not go and be a hero? The most sensible thing is to put yourself in your brother's place and imagine Dean in your place. I'd be just as worried about him.

It's nice to know that Sam is no longer suffering from demon blood, by the way. That Dean didn't have to kill him, and we've come so far ahead.

For some reason, Sam's torment doesn't bother me at all, that's not the least bit, it's too fake. This is how they try to make him look like a "noble hero", which is already sickening from this "heroism and self-sacrifice". No serial character has EVER pissed me off like that.

@id386471659: Personally, I couldn't empathize much with Sam here, just because the screenwriters tried TOO hard to expose his actions as "heroism and self-sacrifice" while Dean's similar actions at the same moment were painted as "reckless and suicidal". It looks like I'll never let it go.

Regarding your last suggestion, heh, it's only season 8 yet. You are getting closer and closer to Sacrifice and The Purge, so good luck :)
Although I'm currently reviewing season 12, I find myself thinking that some characters have started a competition with Sam "Who will piss me off more?" :D

Now Dean is jumping around with trays around Sam and, oh help, poking around with a thermometer. Fortunately, at least not with rectal, otherwise I would not have been surprised at anything with these screenwriters.
"You gotta let me take care of you". Dean, isn't that what you do all the time?
Patience, patience....
They also explained Cas's story that he had always been something different. Great. Is it okay that in seasons 4-5, Dean was the one who helped Cass change and gave him the opportunity to feel free will and the opportunity to make decisions? Wasn't that the point of the Dean/Cas dynamic in seasons 4-5? They even took that away from Dean.
Naturally, Sam does these tests for himself. How could it be any other way?

Kevin is just Batman in this series.
And here's Metatron, a very annoying character (to me).
