The Tarantino style of the episode was something different and I appreciate these special types of episodes. Also, Jerry Trimble was very entertaining as Ramiel. We get to see the latest stop of the Odysee of THE Colt...nice. And while the "Prince of Hell" thing takes away something of the original "Yellow Eyes" (Whom I really liked) it was kind of nostalgic seeing those eyes again.

But, considering all of these points...the one thing that makes this episode worth watching is (thank...god(?!)) the return of Mark Pellegrino as Lucifer. He was just perfect for the role and I was disappointed in every actor playing the devil since he disappeared. So...let's hope we get to see more from him...Go Mark!

From the direction to the writing,everything was flawless,creative episode with the best of Supernatural,brilliantly done,the yellow eyes demon,lucifer(Mark Pellegrino),prince of hell,demons,everything was GREAT in this episode..I did yes criticize this season before,first half was not that great,but this second half has been on the right track,funny how i was watching the earlier seasons while it was on hiatus and missed how those episodes were written,and then second half gives me exactly what i wanted,thanks,its definitely a must-watch.

It wasn't an ordinary episode, it wasn't Supernatural's style. They brought time back and forth, same time lines but in so many different prespective. I read some reviews said was Tarantino style. So, I explore on google and found out, wow, unique style. Submitted a plot like this so intriguing because we are only given stories piece by piece. No wonder.

This episode started with enjoyable lunch with the boys and mother Mary and her friend, that situation came smoothly, they talked about hunter things, then become messy and noisy, the time change to the bloody fighting with up beat as back song, then back again to the restaurant, then Dean persuade Cas to get a girl. As always, it so Dean! Lol. Sam's grumble about internet makes me giggle, it happens to all of us.

He wasn't just a demon who love fishing, He is the demon with yellow eyes. The prince of Hell! This mission makes Cas dying. I was triggered, once again I upset to what Mary did , while I am happy too because it brought Crowley there, and explain everything how Crowley become Prince of Hell. Poor Ramiel, he just want to live peacefull but hunter's mission broke his. Thanks to Crowley who help so much prevent their bad luck become worst, and Cas sweet speech look so angelic.

I can conclude that Mary tricked the boys and evidently she got kind of tricked too, I quite understand and tolerant her, and at the end we welcomed Colt's legendary return, not only the Colt but also our baddas Lucifer in Mark's body again ! Yey!

Supernatural meets Pulp Fiction, with several nods to the film. After several dry episodes, this one brought the fire. The Pulp Fiction styling and similar music, combined with a few big surprises and some of the best performances from the cast that we've seen in a long time- Refreshing to see things finally starting to gel.

I'm not the biggest fan of nonlinear story telling, it makes you work harder to figure out what's going on, but I also acknowledge that it's a great plot device for keeping the tension high and keeping you engaged in the drama. And this episode certainly did that. Of course, as many other reviewers have noted, the style of this episode is a nod to Tarantino and as such was packed full of great music, great camera angles and fast pacy story telling. (One thing I particularly love about Tarantino is his habit of putting fast jaunty music to violent or disturbing images -the juxtaposition is brilliant, and this effect was used superbly in some of the demon killing scenes). Which all in all, combined to make a captivating episode. There were however a few things that jarred with me. I still don't understand Mary's motivation. I didn't really get her ongoing need for me-time and abandoning the boys (except as a plot device to keep her out of every episode) and now I don't really get her motivation for working with the BMOL and deceiving her boys (again except as a plot device, it being even more unlikely that the others of our regular main characters would give the BMOL an 'In' so they could participate in the story-arc). Hopefully Mary has her own episode coming up that will properly tie together her thought processes and motivation for us. Also in the episode we had a quick intro to a new even- bigger-and- even-badder-baddie, a Prince of Hell, who was subsequently killed off very quickly. YED took far longer. Even Abadon who was only a Knight, needed the Mark of Cain. But very conveniently there was a new super weapon laying around to take the Prince down in no time. I know there are limits to what the writers can squeeze into a 40min story, and Crowley did pay some lip service to the issue that they shouldn't have time to take out a big-bad that big, but still for me it ended up feeling a little convenient. But I am sure that the other Princes have been set up to give the boys more trouble in future. But finally, I do have to end on a high note. So many of us love Mark Pellegrino's Lucifer. He brings power to the role. Even stuck in a cage you get the impression that he is torturing Crowley, not the other way round. And from seemingly a weak position where he might be expected to swallow insults, we have him delivering one of the most menacing lines we have heard out of Lucifer in a long time. And all he said was "that's not my name" - yet it gave me chills. A brilliant portrayal that the other Lucifers have often imitated but no one else has quite been able to duplicate. The episode couldn't have ended on a better note. Now I need to know what's coming next.

It still keeps track of its legacy. Yes, I am talking about Supernatural!..

First, we get to see a cool reminder of a Tarantino movie, preferably Pulp Fiction, in some of the scenes when Sam, Dean, and Marry Winchesters, and Cass and Wally talk and act together, and get hurt in the action together. So, we catch From Dusk Till Down, Reservoir Dogs as clear as a day!.. Especially the box that casts a golden light identical to that of Pulp Fiction. Yes!..

Then we see the time-lines get together and interlaced just for us to witness the story better from each one's perspective. That is not the way Supernatural does it in general. That is an artistic plus there!..

Thirdly, we get to have heard the whole story with the yellow-eyed- demons and their position in the Hell as well as on the Earth. Ramiel was the one to be an heir to Azazel! Way to go Mr. Jerry Trimble!..

Fourthly, it is revealed how Crowley did go for the crown for the Hell, and it is indeed surprise to story get tied to the early scenes (like the 6th season) where Crowley presents the Lance of Michael to Ramiel along with the Colt all of which had gone off the story after the 5th season. But at the end, Ramiel warns him to keep quiet about the big guys called the Princes of Hell. And this explains a lot. We knew that Crowley was not that strong, and this not only proves it but also informs us that there are higher players that could still be in play. Real good!

Fifthly, as we are thrilled that Mr. Mark Pellegrino is back in Lucifer suit, we are also sad to see Mary Winchester trick Sam and Dean into doing dirty works which she thinks matter in order to cleanse the world from the monsters. And this mistake is what the boys kept doing over and over again until they did learn to share. Even Castiel did. You have got miles to go, Ms. Winchester!

P.S.: Ms. Samantha Smith does a smooth job playing Mary Winchester!.. Bravo onto you, Ms. Smith!..

P.S.-2: Dear writers, we want artistic episodes like this one, even better ones! They could be of the type of monster-of-the-week, but you could do it well-planned and well-written. Thank you.

P.S.-3: Hey, Mr. Tarantino!

I give this episode "9,5" points. It surely is one of the bests of the show so far.

Here is a saying of my culture that is about truthfulness:

'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud reported: The Messenger of Allah (that is Prophet Mohammad), peace and blessings be upon him, said: "You must be truthful. Verily, truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man continues to be truthful and encourages honesty until he is recorded with Allah as truthful. And beware of falsehood. Verily, falsehood leads to wickedness and wickedness leads to the Hellfire. A man continues tell lies and encourages falsehood until he is recorded with Allah as a liar."

Grade: Muttafaqun Alayhi (authenticity agreed upon) according to Al- Bukhari and Muslim.'

Easily the best episode of season 12 and one of my favourite episodes ever. This episode was perfect. The story was very good and the episode itself was very well made. I like the reintroduction of the Yellow Eyes Demon and the backstory/explanation of what kind of demon he is. This episode is amazing and I highly recommend it.

A Prince of Hell going down so easily? Even Abaddon was a lot harder to take down. The idea of having divine items (Michael's Lance)and stronger than usual entities is fine. Destroying that entity so easily and within an episode is not. I hope the next Prince or Princess won't go down on a single episode as well.

I just watch and read things for entertainment, and if I really like something I may occasionally read a wiki, buy a t-shirt or discuss it with friends or on forums I'm already a part of. I don't get involved with hardcore fan communities, and I don't really get too deep into learning about things like production details or who wrote what episode and such, so I had absolutely no idea it was going to be a Tarantino-inspired episode. However, 5 minutes in (before the title card, after which it gets more blatant), I was already thinking to myself, "Man, I haven't watched Reservoir Dogs in over a decade." Granted, the episode title might have led me to think about it as well. So, as a homage, I think they pulled it off and it was a perfect way to get the Colt involved again, and even disregarding all of that, it's still one of the best they've done since season 5.

Also, love when franchises (like D&D) use the "Princes of Hell" concept, and the names of the other prices they dropped here (Dagon and Asmodeus) intrigued me. I hope there are more episodes exploring that.

Episodes like this are why I'll continue watching till the end, even though I rarely watch shows that have 20+ episodes a season, let alone one that's been on for so many years.

i have been a huge fan of supernatural since the series started and now i really miss the earlier seasons when the story used to make sense. There used to be breath taking moments like arrival of Castiel and Lucifer, the cross road demons, the tasks to shut down gates of hell, tablets etc. Now it feels like its a formality to watch the new episode. I don't want Supernatural to end but i really want writers to introduced a unique story, research more, add new creatures, Make some funnier episode like put castiel in a female vessel for an episode something like that. i also miss some of the horror vibes like bloody marry, the asylum episode etc.

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, the problem is the fact that this show has been going on for 12 seasons and they have already pulled this nonsense with Cain. Also i really have a hard time believing the Colt is the price when that spear should have been. Ahh the colt. The back story of Crowley and the weapons doesn't make much sense either...idk

First of all, loved the scene at the diner. The episode was very entertaining and exciting new names and weapons. I would give it a 10 but I have some questions/issues.

Why the colt is shining like gold?

If Crowley knew the location of the Colt and the Lance of Michael, why all the hassle with the First Blade and the Mark of Cain?

After Ramiel asked them to return what was stolen, why nobody cared? Castiel tried to focus on that and Dean shut it down. I thought that Sam was going to ask his mom.

Also, it was a bit too easy to kill a Prince of Hell.

I was confused about how was Lucifer powerless in a dog cage after Rowena's spell, but they will explain it on the next episode.
