From Watch with Kristin, E!Online: "Supernatural: 3.7 million viewers. The CW's demon-hunting pretty boys did well for themselves, chasing down 400,000 more viewers."

According to TV.com, "At 9 p.m., the CSI rerun earned a 5.0, with Fox close behind at 4.9. ABC's Grey's repeat scored a 4.5, while NBC's Deal or No Deal nabbed a 3.5. The CW's Supernatural spooked a 1.7." and "Overall, Fox earned a 4.5 rating/12 share in 18 to 49s, with 14.6 million total average viewers; ABC, 4.1/11, 11.8 million; CBS, 4/11, 13.2 million; NBC, 3/8, 8.4 million; CW, 1.9/5, 4.2 million."

The Futon Critic reports continuty in week-to-week gains (this week, Supernatural held 90% of Smallville's women 18-34 audience and 100% of its women 18-49 audience), and according to an interview with Dawn Ostroff, the CW's entertainment president, "Last week Supernatural retained 94 percent of the women, 18 to 34, who were watching Smallville, which is great when you think about the competition Thursday at 9 — CSI and Grey's Anatomy."

Simon Said Review

This episode brings the season back towards the overall mythology, adding some twists and turns to the mystery, while still focusing strongly on the psychology of the Brothers Winchester. I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but that psychological element continues to be the most interesting element of the series. If there is any similarity between “Supernatural” and “Lost”, then it’s the underlying design of each episode. It’s not so much about the demons without as the demons within.

While the topic is never addressed directly, the first hint of Dean’s knowledge about the demon and the “special children” shines through. Dean knows more than he’s telling, and it doesn’t sound good. He tries very hard to convince Sam that his abilities aren’t a sign of evil, but every so often, it sounds more like he’s convincing himself. Sam’s not stupid, and he picks up on Dean’s evasiveness. That troubling lack of communication is pervasive in this episode, forcing the viewer to think about the possible implications.

The twin brothers are, in essence, the two opposing directions available for Sam. He could use his abilities to help others, not unlike Cordelia on “Angel”, or he could use the abilities to his own advantage, picking and choosing his battles.

Crossroad Blues Review

October 21, 2006

By John Keegan

After taking a break from the fallout of John’s death for the past couple of episodes, the writers snap right back into familiar psychological space in this installment. Since the series doesn’t like to leave plot elements by the wayside, the previous episode is not ignored. Dean is now present in local and federal crime databases, and that makes the job a little harder. Logically, one would expect that fact to become more important over time.

In this case, however, the story quickly turns back to the idea of deals with the devil. As many noted after the season premiere, the Brothers Winchester are smart enough to realize that John’s death was linked to Dean’s miraculous recovery. Dean already voiced his suspicions, but now they face a situation where Dean is tempted by the possibility of changing the state of play.

This season continues to excel at using urban legends as a conduit for character study, and this episode is no different. The supernatural aspect is simple: a deal with a demon gives you 10 years of whatever you desire, but in the end, the hounds of hell come calling.
