I thought this was a good enough episode, but with 5 episodes left in the season, and one of those is dedicated to the spin-off, I would have hoped for something more related to the major arcs in the season instead of a one-shot. Like someone else said, I think this would have served a better purpose earlier in the season than on Episode 19.
I did enjoy the callbacks to earlier canon, i.e., dead man's blood, dean's recovery from being a vamp, Jody's family being killed-Berens used the show's history very well in this regard. I also liked the extra bit of vampire lore that we received about blood slave, etc. I also loved it that these vamps knew about Dean and Sam Winchester. It is about time that monsters out there are aware of these two. Now we just need for them to run in to some other hunters that haven't met before and hear the same thing. We the series started out, hunters seemed to know about John, now they know about Dean and Sam. These two really should be legends by now in the hunter and monster community.
