Snark away.
And Sam and Dean? Give really, really, no really good competent...
Which is why, when we Winchester Girls discover them in a new arena of competent, like, I don't know, maybe dancing? it's such a thrill.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

I also like the implication of the title (look, I'm trying to be thinky!) -- there are some things you can't escape, and no matter how many demons they kill, the facts of this life aren't going away.
Oh yeah, and you've got the Sartre connotation that hell is other people, and you've got that this is where Jo ultimately makes the decision (seen later) to be part of the life, no matter what Ellen wants.
My biggest nitpicks involved the fact that they'd converted the place from a warehouse to apartments, and yet there was still a ton of lath and plaster and knob and tube hanging around? PLEASE.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I actually like this episode on rewatch. I mean, I expect Jo to have the "annoying little brother" (yeah, I boggle on that) role now. And just to sort of fade so that we get backstory and focus on the Winchesters.

Because books.
I like that Jo moment, too. I really like Jo, actually. A spinoff Jo-verse, at least in fic, is very tempting.
I also really like Dean's interaction with both Harvelle women, because no matter how easily he relates to strange women, he has a certain mechanism for it, i.e. charm. Ooh, Missouri was different, too, because she saw right through it. He didn't have his mom long enough, and Sam wasn't a little sister -- outside of sex, women are fairly alien to Dean.

I was just thinking that Dean is Sam's second mom, and Ellen is Jo's stand-in dad, and... well, Sam and Jo looked like little kids whose parents are fighting, frankly.

I can't help but think there was intent behind the "parents" in the front seat and the "kids" in the back, and I do agree about Sam's and Jo's expressions being those of kids whose parents are fighting.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Does anyone know if Skin was filmed before Hookman, or after. Dean died in Skin, but the cops don't seem to care in Hookman, and the boys don't seem to be wary of the cops. Makes me wonder.
eta: Cass and I have now decided that it was. Hence the out of ordereyness

Hookman was way early--right after Wendigo and before Dead in the Water, wasn't it?

It aired after Skin, but I suspect it was supposed to come before. A ways before.
