Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! THEY JUST WAITED OUT THE ETHNIC EVIL.
My god, that story I hate perhaps more than the racist truck, because it just failed at conflict and heroism. I skipped that one in the rewatch with bon. Thankfully, that was before the obfuscatory episode naming started, so it was easy to say "Oh! It's Bugs! Let's move on."

There were swarms of giant wasps in "Nightmares," weren't there? That's almost bees, without the making honey or pollinating flowers silver linings.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
the racist truck
There was a truck that was racist? Like a Ford F150 that hated black people?

Pretty much, actually.
Well, it was possessed.

So ordinarily it was a non-racist truck?
I feel like I should go question my car about its belief system.

I thought the actual truck was what they dredged up out of the lake, and the truck that was killing people was just a ghostly manifestation of the driver?

It was an episode with so much potential! Dean is revealed as having actual feelings about actual girls (well, just the one), there's a sex scene, the female actress is drop dead gorgeous, and they're going to try and deal with race issues.
Sweet fucking holy good, it is all that is bad in Supernatural land. Well, okay, throw in a female victim showering in a white nightdress and a joke only a twelve year old boy with no taste finds funny, and then it's *everything*. But it was so bad, Steph. The truck was killing black people.
I love my show, but I'm horrifically embarrassed by that. Beer Bad looks great in comparison.

On about rewatch 6, I decided it was 2/3s of the way to a good episode. But then Cassie's mom starts the Soap Opera Tears, and I can't stop laughing.
Racist. Ghost. Truck.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It had a lot of potential but it fell so far short. Especially because the actress was so miscast. She was beautiful but she was the only thing that Dean had no chemistry with in any way. He was kinda sparking with that wall behind her though. And then the massive fail of the racist ghost truck.
