I'm in awe of the blocking and choreography for the scene in the thieves' apartment. The apartment the size of a dance studio--but then they needed all that room for the gags. It must have been something blocking all the falls, trips, losing guns, finding guns, crashing into things. That scene was pretty awesome.

OMG, I can't believe I chose this episode to miss the W&P! (The SO bought the hockey package, so we've been sharing screentime.) But I kept waking up because I was shaking the bed with laughter when I watched late last night.

Loved it. Loved the way the luck played out.

I think I'll like the mercenary, because it plays as real to me that there would be people involved that don't have the same motivations as the others. Up until now it's been mostly, demons, hunters, naive innocents. I like that it wouldn't have gotten past some people what was happening (like the massive denial in the Buffyverse) but that not everyone would be all, hey, war against the powers of demonic activity? Count me in!

Taken to Spoilers Lite.

But sumi's already got it.

there is nothing here, just the stale stench of my bitter heart.

P-C, could you take that to Spoilers Lite?

(Stompy foot enforcing spoiler policy)

I was wondering about that, Plei. Sorry.

MWAH!

Danke!

the female hunter from the premiere was black. though i get what you mean. there isn't a wide range of people who aren't white on this show.

Giving the Devil (or WB) their due, in three episodes, we have maybe seen more people of color and women in varying situations than I recall in much of the first two seasons.

Tamara was competent, black, unevil, and uncrisped on the ceiling after the first ep. Isaac was a hunter and then dead, but we kill a lot of people on this show. Ruby was maybe a little too competent and hair tossy until we found out she was a demon with motivations that unclear doesn't even begin to describe. Bella is, well, she's there (and Gwen, but so far lacking the mad chemistry with Gunn Dean.). Now Gordon's back and just as unstable and creepy, to me, as ever.

It's not perfect, by a long shot. But it's not all white casting, with the women either one-dimensional evil or frying up while wearing white nighties so far either.

Sam's face after he lost his shoe and Dean asking him what was wrong

It was slapstick, but the SamandDean interactions last night just made me smile a little smile of joy. Boys, you may have been cursed, but you made me glad you were back.

Gwen was exactly what I thought, Cass.

Huh. We're getting up there on "Gwen"s in the conversational frame of reference.
