Thoughts on episode 12: "Darkness Rising"
No "THEN" so it's probably not a YED episode.

So two girls are fighting. One girl is more yelly. Apparently Lily doesn't have friends cause she shuts people out. She begs Yelling Girl to not leave cause she's afraid to be alone. Yelling Girl freaks out and starts coughing up blood. Lily starts seeing smoke and crap. This whole thing might be a hallucination.

Titles.

JOHN! And he's driving on the...right side of the car? Looks like it might be a British car, actually. Lily's mom also died in a house fire when she was six months old. We know this cause John is telling Blobby about it over the phone. He thinks Lilly has the same powers Sam does. They talk about "the devil" again, so I guess this IS a YED episode, but they didn't bother doing a THEN. Anyway, John is suggesting Lily could be bait. Blobby thinks this is kind of crappy, but drops it. Lilly's roommate actually did die. Blobby says Lily's powers were different from Sam's. OK. Whatever. A LOT of information in a short span.

Stuff happens. John holds a guy at....bottle point. He pours some liquid on some guy. Apparently Lily's dad? Wow, John is a major scary dick. He's more like a thug than the military man we know and love.

So there is a CROWD of demons outside Lilly's appartment. I love how the demon eyes are done in this, by the way. They are black like in the show, but lined in bright neon purple.

The demons are making zombie noises? John and Mr Baker are on the roof. I just want Sam and Dean, I don't want a whole episode of John. Yes, it's something the show didn't do, but the anime isn't doing it in an interesting way. I am so bored.

They show Azazel (or whoever) dripping blood into baby Lily's mouth. I don't remember how long it was in the show before they told us Sammy drank Azzy blood. Anyway, John knew about the blood. For some reason, this changed Lily right away though Sam grew up normal and didn't have powers until he was 22. Well, this jerk abandoned Lily and just HAPPENED to be coming back the same night John came to her, which is the same night the demons had their convalcade outside. OK fine.

John is being holier than thou, which is rich.

This episode is really slow moving. I miss Sam and Dean. So in the anime you can shoot low level demons with special arrows. Whatever.

Lily's dad is a cowardly idjit. So John causes the sprinklers to come on, spraying the demons with the holy water he was on the roof making earlier. Whatever I'm bored. Female demon visiting Lily, telling her it's been 20 years and she's there to collect. WHY IS SAM TWENTY IN THIS?! IS DEAN TWENTY-FOUR?!

Lily is scared. Demon is all "You're one of us, we share the same blood, blah blah blah." I miss Sammmmmmm.

Oh shit, this is LILY. The one who kills people with touch! I'm kind of happy they gave her a back story. So Lily's dad shoots Demon Chick, but Demon Chick is too mighty for the dumb arrows. She pulls it out of her boobage (really, this woman is a regular Orihime). Then John Bursts in shooting at her. Um. Huh? She falls down, so it packed a punch. For some reason.

John tells Lily and her dad to amscray right before Demon Chick uses powah to raise him into the air and make him drop his weapons.

Lily's dad confronts the demon and tells Lily he's sorry, Demon Chick torturs him, Lily attacks her, Demon Chick is happy about it cause she likes the anger in her eyes, John somehow breaks free and cuts her arm off. It's pretty awesome. The demon evacuates through her mouth and eyes and Lily's dad drops from the ceiling. Man this episode is so boring.

John is gruff and leaves. Lily's dad apologises and promises he won't leave again. Lily starts talking about her power of causing death. She's in a car with John all of a sudden and he's driving on the left again. So John puts them both up in a room and tells them not to leave.

So John is driving around talking to Blobby on the phone. He knows he can't fight YED without the Colt. So Blobby starts looking for it.

Back at the ranch, the dad is still apologetic and Lily is morose. Uh oh, scary sounds. Something comes from the ceiling. Pops pushes Lily and is attacked by demon smoke. And possessed. He tells Lily to run. But she doesn't and gets a full frontal face to face with YED possessing her dad.

Back to John on the phone, talking to Lily who just breathes in a scared way. John goes to the room and asks what happened. Pops is on the floor bloody. Lily killed him. She tells John to leave and not talk to her again cause she's cursed and must be alone. Poor Lily. John says he has "a son like you. He has special powers too." John wants to help her, but she tells him "You can't." And John leaves. The ending music starts, but without the vocal intro, thank God.

Post Credits: John in the car talking on the phone with Blobby about how important the Colt is. He has a picture of S&D on the passenger seat.

This sucked. SO boring. NO S&D at ALL. Just damn John on the phone with damn Blobby or Damn John talking to Lily's dad. I liked Lily's backstory, but that's it. This episode wasn't awkward or weird or uncomfortable like some of the others have been, but it was dead dull which is almost as bad.
