It's not that issue though. This is almost like the same thing that happened to demons is now happening to Sam and Dean. Demons used to be friggin terrors, nigh unstoppable...until they weren't that unstoppable. And then a few years later they really really weren't unstoppable. We've seen the same things happening to the Angels.
So I dunno, some chick with brass knuckles beat the SHIT out of not only Dean, but Castiel as well. Were these super duper magic brass knuckles? I dunno. I sort of understand this need to make villains seem like credible threats, but I would have rather they used these more..I dunno, they kind of act like the Brits are more civilized when it comes to hunting and being Men of Letters, and then it's..nope, brass knuckle time! Setting you on fire time! Stabbing your gums with knives time.
Oh at one point they tried a spell too, but for people who claim American hunters are awful..I dunno, just seems like the main difference is merely a British accent and a heightened sense of smugness. I will admit them saying they know the moment a monster comes into Britain via wards is cool, but they didn't really seem to address the fact that America itself is a much larger hunting ground than Britain. Not to mention for some reason all the serious supernatural shit goes down in America. Apocalypse? Big show down was in America. Demons being released from hell? Happened in America. Leviathans taking over? I'm sure they weren't just in America, but they were definitely centered there.
So we still have an entire season to go, but I'm hoping to see more about how the Brits do things.
