No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I'd have preferred to have had bits of this story play out over the season, instead of using up a whole hour of it when we're so close to the finale.

Someone mentioned on twitter that it was shown out of order. Apparently it was supposed to be shown earlier in the season. That would have made more sense. But yes, it would have worked better as interspersed scenes.

I feel like there's still more origin story to come. Let's hope it gets told quickly, if so.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh, huh, that would explain why it's not connected to the big events of last week.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What do Lost's mysterious Jacob and the Man In Black play when they're sick of black-rock-white-rock?

Not watching Lost, all I see is Lucifer, the Horseman of War, and an escaping demon.

I think she means in the context of ita's SPN interpretation.

I think that still might be it.

I don't understand how she could have been Smokey before, because she had a living body that "Esau" was able to kill.

Well, he did it before she could speak to him? Thinking about Dogen's warning to Sayid and Jacob's to Ricardo?

I dunno, just popped in my head.
