I think that, in the pantheon of Bad, the seven deadly sins are pretty high up there. So... they're vulnerable to holy water and salt, and the YED is not?

I thought the writing bore the stamp of more than one writer: it was herky-jerky, switching off blatant and subtle. And I think I need to beat Mysterious Blondie with a hairbrush and some ponytail holders. Long hair + candles everywhere + flailing motions = bye bye long hair, you know?

I definitely heard "polling the electorate" - I have no idea what that means.

And you all have now made me fear for Bobby. The boys cannot lose Bobby too!!!

Word. Especially with all that product in it. At least Jo had the sense to pull her hair back, right?

(Man. Never thought I'd miss Jo...)

So, I'm wondering if "polling the electorate" is a euphemism that he picked up at Stanford?

Eh. Buffy didn't always get her ponytail on.

"Polling the electorate" is sort of weird, but it sounds like Sam.

And how come Pride could crack open the devil's trap? Consistency, Kripke. Think about it.

I have a dumb question, as I am new to talking about SPN. I watched it all this summer and finished just in time to watch the premiere on iTunes.

Why do people hate Jo? Cause I kinda like her. I mean, I like Ellen more, but I still like Jo. Am I missing something?

Fandom didn't want Dean falling in love with her, mostly.

I like Jo, myself. Ellen more, yes, but Jo is sort of scrappy and starry-eyed, and interesting.

I don't know how "polling the electorate" makes that much more sense.

That's a very old euphemism. Think extra-curricular activities for politicians.

I think it was Pride who implied that other demons hadn't gone after Sam because of the YED. I think that implies that YED was ranked higher than them.

I see.

Plus, she (to me) just wasn't a believable hard-ass AND I think that her relationship with the boys mostly felt little sisterly. Well, except for that penultimate scene in No Exit when she and Sam were like the kids and Dean and Ellen were like the fighting parents.

I think the hard-ass was mostly believable *in certain situations.* At home with Ellen, protecting the bar, and themselves, yeah. Out in the world, it was clear she had a little to learn.

I would have liked for them to explore the sisterly angle, for Dean and Sam to see what being a hunter's kid was like from another perspective.
