SPN: The Devil you know

I only have one line of response to the Vampire Diaries, so totally not worth making a separate post:
And that is that I find Damon with 19th c. hair insanely attractive, and I'm not even sure why. Oh, make that 2 sentences. I was very sad they killed off Pearl!

And I don't really have that much more to say about Supernatural.

1. Of the shallow: Normally I am totally a Dean girl, but when Sam was being all threatening to Crowley? DAYUM. I couldn't quite understand why it was Sam rather than Dean being the one all suspicious of demons*, but I can give the writers a pass on that as long as it brings out threatening!Sam, who apparently I find hot like a HOT THING. And normally I find his hair annoying but in the scene where he was threatening Crowley it looked good.

2. Of the amused: I couldn't understand how Dean would choose to trust Crowley--it seemed very out of character for him--but I did love Crowley's lines. Especially "they ate my tailor." HEE! Though the best line of the night had to be Bobby's "I'll shoot you so full of rock salt you'll crap margaritas."

3. Of the confused: in addition to not quite understanding why Dean was trusting Crowley, I really didn't understand his taking a beating from the demon Whitney Fordham (sorry, I don't care that his SPN name was Brad, he'll be Whitney forever to me)(ETA OOPS his name is actually Brady. when he had the knife. At first I thought this was part of Crowley's plan, but from Dean's reaction when he got out of the elevator it really wasn't.

4. Of the shallow again: HELLO WHITNEY! You make a very attractive demon, even if you are named Brad. (RLY? Is anyone actually named Brad anymore?) (Ok, Brady is better than Brad, and I should pay more attention when watching). Does anyone else think they should have cast Eric Johnson as Lucifer? I want Lucifer to be hot, dammit.

5. Of the mytharc: So Whitney killed Jessica? Wow, I totally thought all these years it was Azazel. I really can't blame Sam for killing him; I actually kind of wish they had employed some of Dean's torture skills. I LOVE Jess--if there's an AU where Jess lives, I guarantee I've already read it 5 or 6 times.

6. Of the mytharc, part 2: Someone tell me Bobby is way too smart to take Crowley's deal. He is, right? RIGHT??

7. Of the YAY: Hurray for Dean trusting Sam could control his anger when he saw Whitney.

8. Of the WTF:
(A)How the hell could Crowley beam in to Bobby's, which I am sure is warded better than any space in North America?
(B) Why are they wasting time putting the Croatoan virus in a vaccine when Pestilence could just be spreading that directly instead of H1N1?
(C) Why is Sam considering such a suicidal strategy of letting Lucifer in when he knows he couldn't even fight Meg off before?
(D) Why can't demons just use cell phones? (Ok, that death was kind of grimly humorous, but still.)(And I'm not really serious about this question).

* I can see why Sam is now suspicious of demons, after his experience with Ruby, and his feeling that Crowley double-crossed them and got Jo and Ellen killed; I just don't see why he is UBER suspicious and Dean doesn't seem suspicious at all, at least for Dean.

It's like TVD is competing with SPN to be the slashiest show on TV, or something. (I totally forgot to mention Crowley's great line "Lovers in league against Lucifer).

Pellegrino is a good actor, I agree, but he does nothing for me.
