Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Because books.

I guess I figured the binding link would prevent that, though.

I think Meg wanted the perverse pleasure of becoming Sam, of torturing Dean with the knowledge, and torturing Sam in the process with the things she woud do. The binding link keeps her locked in there pretty effectively until Bobby taints the symbol with the hot iron.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

It's entirely possible that the binding link just means she can't be forced out. She'd probably want to be able to vacate whenever she wanted.

Huh. After this ep, does Sam still have the burn scar, or did it disappear when Bobby frizzled it?

Maybe it was a magic branding iron to go with the magic lucky charms.

would get rid of Sam

Plus, if she doesn't give a "rat's ass" about the plan, it's a nice little fuck you to Demon Daddy Dearest.

does Sam still have the burn scar

Um... if he ever showed his damn forearms, we might know.

He does have the scar later, I think, but it fades.

I always thought the link was so she couldn't be forced out, but she could leave whenever she wanted to.

I'm only saying "she" because YED-in-John said "that was my daughter." I think it's funny we call that demon "Meg," when poor Meg McAllister was only a host body for that demon. And Stan, poor janitor-man, was only a host body for the YED. It bothered me some that Dean stood over Stan's body to say, "That was for our mom, you sonofabitch." Stan probably was a good guy who got shanghaied, as Meg did.

OK, so in the interest of... well, my obsessive personality...

I went back and checked, and there is NO chin wibble after "someday you will have to waste me." The closest thing is a mild wibble after "this whole thing is spinning out of control," which is a few lines later.

So, the chin wibble is probably from an unused take... which means that clearly, Kripke (or at least the previouslies editor) knows the Power of the Wibble.

I have no doubt whatever that Kripke, Manners, Singer, Shiban, everybody connected with this show knows exactly what sort of commodity they have in the talent. And use them to greatest effect.

Bev, I can't believe you actually made me feel a little sorry for YED. I never thought of him as a person. And I don't think I ever knew his name was Stan.
