Supernatural: On the Head of a Pin
Air Date: March 20 on The CW
Everyone looks a little worse for the wear in this one, except maybe Sammy. . .
Someone found Lucifer’s sword and is using it to kill angels. Castiel (Misha Collins) and Uriel (guest star Robert Wisdom) have captured Alastair (guest star Christopher Heyerdahl) and ask Dean (Jensen Ackles) to use the torturing skills he learned in Hell to extract information from him so they can stop the murders. Sam (Jared Padalecki) is concerned Dean can’t handle the job but Dean agrees to do it. However, when Alastair reveals some shocking information, Dean’s world is shattered. Mike Rohl directed the episode written by Ben Edlund (#3T7516).

Although the urban legends & rock music shows were awesome, the apocolyptic ones are way better and more deep. They are E P I C!
Imagine how creative the porducers must be to have thought up of such a brilliant plotline.
Honestly, I have never ever seen another show as brilliant as Supernatural.
I still love the old urban legend and rock music stuff, and I think they need to put it in there. But right now we have a more complex plot with both brother have a seperate story. It is getting more emotional for both of them, and it is getting more and more complex.
I just don’t want to see Sam leading an army of demons, and Dean an army of angels. All of a sudden the armies clash together, and war breaks loose. I don’t want to see that. That would get kinda stupid.
I love how this season is turning out!! The whole angel thing and Sam slowly turning evil-ish. The only thing I hate though is, Sam and Dean are barley brothers anymore!!! They don’t even trust each other!! It makes me so sad!!! :( :(

First off, why do so many people bitch when the show isn’t just Dean and Sam? They need some other interesting characters to keep the plot flowing. If it were just Dean and Sam vs some demon every episode it would get old fast. We knew Sam had demon mojo, it was obvious something dark would happen there. If there is a Hell, then it only figures that there’s also a Heaven. I love this season, its my favourite one so far.
Now, that being said, YAY! Castiel! Looks like he’ll finally have more than just a few minutes! \o/ I’m also looking forward to Dean torturing Alastair ;)
and yes that was alot of spelling mistakes . result of rushing a comment:o
THANK YOU GALVESTON!!!! your so right !! okay , melanie ,wow ive been a fan since the begining to (well since asylum-first ep i saw) and i love the show !! its getting better and better every season , and i love the angels as a part of the show . im also a big cas fan , but dont search up his part on niptuck….. SCAREDFORLIFE!! …..! id also like to add that yes you fans are very whiny !! uhha, i did just go there ! one thing is though ive never been on any other fansites so im not sure if its just us shotgunners, or if other shows have this many insane fans . ill try lost after , that being the only other show that id even watch (and no , since its supernatural competition i never watch them right off tv when there new(dont what to give spn more problems).
id say im bi-bro , so im not gonna pick a side here but really , i like it that there giving dean a chance in the big story line instead of it being sam did this , sam did that , dean come save me. and so far i like the dean story line best of all
keep up the good job to all you dean writers out there!!
Dean and Castiel look a little down for the count. Sam, considering that you are the only one with a clean shirt, can you maybe patch them up a bit while you are standing there looking pretty?
Muito louca esta série estou no Brasil e assisto todos os episódios pela internet !!! VLW………
I swear to god… the Supernatural fandom is full of the whiniest bunch of individuals. Why I rarely venture into this fandom online, even though it happens to be one of my 3 favorite shows. Some of you guys give the Heroes fandom a run for the title of, “Most Whiny & Ungrateful Fandom” but I still think you edge them out by just a bit.
I’ve been a Supernatural fan from the beginning, and I can say that this season is by far the best season of the show yet. Also, I know I’ll be stoned for saying this, but Castiel quickly became my favorite character from the second he walked into that barn. I’ve always like Misha Collins, so I was ecstatic when I heard he was going to be a recurring guest star on one of my favorite shows. I still like the brothers, definitely a Dean girl instead of Sam… but dammit people, shows need to evolve and change over time… good riddance to you whiners…
I too miss the old days which were more light hearted but in the context of the storyline it has to get darker. Arguing about whether Sam or Dean gets more showtime is pointless, the story has to dictate this and so far this season I haven’t been disappointed …it’s one of the few shows can can truly keep you guessing and have your jaw hit the floor with a new twist. Driving me nuts trying to figure out how it will all end though ;)
This Dean vs. Sam crap is getting old. VERY old and VERY EMBARRASSING. Dean isn’t propped up at the expense of Sam. Sam isn’t propped up at the expense of Dean. They’re *telling a story.* That story doesn’t involve Sam and Dean being apportioned exactly 50 percent of the lines, 50 percent of the scenes, and 50 percent of the ass kicking apiece. That’s not how storytelling works; it’s not about one looking “better” than the other. They’re telling a story, squabbling children. I like Sam, Dean, and Cas. I love this season. Had the characters never grown past the season one monster of the week, throwing one liners at each other I’d be BORED TO TEARS by now. I don’t watch the show because I have a crush on the cute boys. That’s why it’s better than the rest of the CW trash. It’s got a real story. If you want more rock music, complain to Dawn Ostroff. Licensing music takes money and she keeps cutting the budget.
Uhm… The first couple of seasons had Sam being the one who always got beat up and Dean rushing in to save the day… Granted, he got thrown while Sam was choked, but Dean was always the one to save the day.
Season 4, Dean was just saved from Hell, he’s emotional, he’s scarred, he doesn’t know what’s going on… He’s breaking under the pressure. His death really effected Sam and that kicked Sam into high gear… that also stirred up some darker emotions. The brothers have done a role reversal.
Also, I’m a Sam girl… and I in no way am upset over the way the show has included Dean in on the mythology. I love what they’ve done with Dean. He’s Han Solo to Sam’s Luke Skywalker.
Man, supernatural fans sure are testy…
But on a unrelated note; BLOODY CASTIEL! HOT!
Thank you for the photos, especially as Comcast Cable in Sacramento went dark on several channels, including CW, about 5 minutes after Supernatural started. So I didn’t get to see the episode. ACK!
wow you people argue alot!!thankyou to cherry for a nice coment!! geez , chances are , most of you dont know much more about the episode then what you just read , and your already chosing if you like it or not !!from what ive read it going to be a great episode , and the reviews people have givin it are great . and just something for you to know , they have released some deleted scenes from HAH , LR and ITB(all of which season4) , search them up . and , before you decide if this epi will be good, do some other research!!
If Sam kill the bad guy its writer’s fault for writing Sam as SuperSam. If Dean being badass its writer’s fault for writing Dean as D-bag. Everybody is in the wrong except Jensen and Dean. Whats going on exactly?
Looks like Dean is not up for the task and Sammy takes care the matters. OK, but I will still put wait and see attitude.
What is WRONG with you people?? This ep looks absofreakinglutely awesome. Enough with the Sam vs Dean ‘who’s got the best story’ crap. Just enjoy the damn show.
Who is this person who is not Sam or Dean in the picture?
The photos are fine, if not a bit violent, but a little too “ensemble cast” for my tastes.
Hot damn! HURT DEAN. Nuff said.
