Victoria P. over in LJ pointed out that Sam gets choked by Pride in this.

Also, I maintain that Pride was cast because they'd found an actor almost as tall as JP and couldn't resist.

I would love to know what Sam thinks his greatest sins are.

I think the fact that Pride singled him out for taunting is a bit telling regarding the reality. If Sam had to pick, on the other hand, I think he might pick wrath.

I would love to know what Sam thinks his greatest sins are.

I suspect envy, for one. Sam wanted the white bread world and did everything he could do to get it until Jess died. I think a part of him still wants it.

And it's like there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

Hellfire, Dean.

Yeah well, whatever.

OH, boys.

Please tell me they are not setting us up to lose Bobby Singer. That would be unwise.

Both those actors look SOOO much older. And they haven't hit their synch yet, after hiatus, either. Things are off, just a tad. Could explain it by the characters' fatigue. Maybe it will improve on rewatch.

They should allow Dean to have another half-inch of hair. He looks like he's been skinned.

Also--Bobby's car through the door and wall of the demon bar? Total callback to the pilot. Woo!

And where's Bobbys truck?

Please tell me they are not setting us up to lose Bobby Singer.

This is what I'm deathly afraid of. I don't know why I got that feeling, but I did.

But Dean's "I'm tired" hit me as hard as it did last season.

Oh, word. ::wibble::

If Sam had to pick, on the other hand, I think he might pick wrath.

I certainly would pick Wrath for him. Pride would want to fuck with him, but I don't think it's a sin he's too guilty of.

Please tell me they are not setting us up to lose Bobby Singer. That would be unwise.

No taking my Bobby. I forbid it.

Agreed that Tamara rocks, and I was so very glad to be at least partially wrong in thinking that the black happily married couple were only there as red shirts.

The blond chick was listed in the credits, so we're going to see a lot more of her, which is a good thing.

Am I the only one who thought this ep was more gruesome than the majority of previous ones have been? I wonder if this is a trend this season.

The actors look good and well rested, especially JA.

This was flippin' gore-fest 2007! We haven't seen this much gore since the glory days of the first season!

I'm rewatching, and yeah, gore. I noticed it with Shoe Girl first, but the bleach was disgusting, too.

And, you know, the dead bodies, I guess. But that didn't look as real to me.

So much stuff I missed on first watch! One question: are they at Tamara and Isaac's house when Isaac gets pissy in the basement? Because it's not the Sloth folks' house, clearly.

Yep. (On the gore)

The only thing I didn't buy from this ep was Sam opening the door where Dean was playing with the doublemint twins. No way would he do that, after growing up with a big brother like Dean.
