I've been reduced to reading spoilers before watching (something I usually avoid like the plague) to prepare myself for the episodes. I still couldn't bring myself ot watch this week's. Is it relevant to the arc? Few really commented on the plot, and so many of the recent episodes don't even do anything. I still want to know how the apocalypse turns out ridiculous as it is (also I hate half-watching something), even though SPN is turning the characters I liked into unlikable shadows of their former selves. :/
