Storyline

Dean and Sam, in the midst of a long drive, stop for the night in a remote four-star hotel. Soon they learn that Kali, Baldur, Odin and other pagan gods have kidnapped the guests to eat them. Dean and Sam realize they are also trapped and being used as bargaining chips in an effort to stop the Apocalypse. Out of the blue, Gabriel arrives to warn Kali and the other gods that Lucifer will destroy them; however, it is too late since Lucifer has just arrived in the hotel.

Trivia

When the boys discover the hostages in the kitchen freezer, Dean makes the comment "Motel Hell." This is in reference to the 80's campy slasher movie Motel Hell (1980) about cannibalistic motel owners.

Goofs

When Lucifer arrives at the Elysian Fields motel and kills many of the pagan gods in the hallway, one of the supposedly dead characters blinks (lower left-hand corner of the screen after Lucifer breaks a god's arm and the camera pans out and Lucifer walks down the hallway).

User Reviews

The writer of this episode is the most ignorant person of the decade

If there is a biggest ignorant freak in this world, he is the writer of this episode. What a dumb person the writer is. He does not have an iota of information about goddess Kali or Lord Ganesha. He has portrayed them as human eaters??? Its a shame on him to direct an episode without doing any research about other gods from other religions.

Well i pity the ignorance of this writer/director. When the whole season is more about Christianity, i think they should stick to the same concept. Why bring other gods/religions into this. Forget archangels, other religions don't even believe in Christ. My sincere appeal to the writers of the supernatural, you should do some research on a religion/character before portraying them like whatever you want. Shame on you people.
