I want consistency in everything fighty
Internal consistency they had, at least within the ep. It's sad that I'm happy about that, but I am.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

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

I mean, on the roof Dean was wailing on Gordon like whoa. And then Gordon takes Dean down with two shots?
Before Gordon took him down, I had a fleeting hope that it might turn into some cat-mouse-cat game, with Dean going after Gordon, who's going after Sam, all the while Dean would be trying to give Sam the space he apparently desperately thought he needed.
But, well, then, Dean got tied to a chair. Again. Not that I didn't enjoy the drama or y'know, TEH HOT. But I thought it might go differently.

She was from Peoria, CanIllinois.
Heh. And many actors on Due South were from Chicagoronto, Illinada.

Our wings are not tired.
What irritated me was Sam's vanishing facial injuries.
It was a surprise, so I waved my hands and decided it was just splashed blood on his face that he washed off. See how easy I am?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
Dean's accent?
he said something last night in the car at the end when he was talking to Sam and i heard the Texan accent come out. can't remember what it was though...

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Every word out of both their mouths bellows Texas, to me. It's like they both have peanut butter permanently welded to their soft palates.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
The one thing that bugged me a little last night, and more so on rewatch was Gordon trying to blow Sam up in the other room, but leaving Dean unharmed. Gordon is smart enough to know he would have to kill Dean if he killed Sammy (unless he wanted to be hunted down and killed, painfully), so why not just set Dean up as the second trip wire?

Yeah, that was definitely lacking in foresight from the guy who's looking to play the long con.

Art Crawl!!!
Plus, he has no compunction about killing people who aren't evil: i.e., the possessed girl who he was exorcising when the demon spilled something about that war.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
But see, that plays back into Gordon seeking Dean's approval. I got a little frisson in there that maybe somewhere in the back of his mind Gordon was thinking if Sam's gone, Dean's got nobody--like me. I don't know if he thought that maybe, when Dean got over being upset about Sam's death they could bond, or something. I don't know. Gordon's elevator doesn't go all the way up, I'm afraid, but then neither does the family Winchester elevator.
I do think Gordon felt he made a connection with Dean in the earlier episode, felt like he'd found a kindred spirit. Sammy was in the way of that, Gordon didn't like Sam; without Sam Dean would be a less conscience-troubled hunter, like Gordon. They could be hunting buddies. Gordon would never admit to this, consciously, but I think it colored how avidly he went after Sam. And I also believe Gordon thought if Dean lost Sam it somehow made Gordon's killing his vamped sister more "right."
