The panic attack was hysterical.

It reminded me all too forcibly of a fic...which I suspect *someone* on the staff may have read.

Are they going to use the same plotline for Bela every time? At least this time it served a character-development purpose. I wonder who she killed. I like Bela. I like how she's all posh and snarky and deft at the pickpocketing. It's terribly convenient that they keep running into her, but that's television, I guess. At least Ruby is actively interested in Sam; what's Bela's excuse? (Well, besides the fact that she wants to have angry sex with Dean, which haaaaaaa.)

I don't need to have the boys in every shot of the show. I'm happy to have a hot British chick to look forward to occasionally. And I like that she continues to open up the world of the show. It stands to reason that there would be people like her. If things are rare, there will be a market.

I found the whole Gert business very annoying. There was one joke there, and it never got any funnier.

Like Cass, I was a little underwhelmed, but next week's looks pretty awesome.

Hey, and Gert was played by Grandpa Walton's daughter!

I do wish that SPN would figure out how to weave the b-plot into the whole story rather than just bookending the motw story with it.

Silly question: While we've seen children in peril plenty of times, the show has never actually shown one who was possessed, correct? I'm mentally running through the eps and nothing jumps to mind.

One of the affected in Croatoan was a young man, but I think I'd maybe call him a teenager rather than a child.

The kids in Everybody Loves A Clown might have been affected by the creepy clown, but I think they were just kinda dumb.

Man, 108 messages and no one else was jumping around going OMG, SUNSHINE DORE???

So tonight they are showing us how much sexier women's drowning deaths are than men's?

I actually didn't get that from the episode, due to the shirtless beefcake drowning we had next.

Unlike Dead in the Water, which I can't type as anything but Dean in the Water, it seems. Baby steps. Baby steps.

I like Bela much more in this episode than in her introduction. She's like a less evil Lilah in a way.

You know, people keep saying that, but I think the text made it fairly explicit that they were under Clown Thrall by having the clown-hating child bring one back.

Ha!! That's a great description. They do both have that sort of, "Well, I got what I wanted...so what's your problem again?" attitude.

She maintains her composure when under threat of death, and is good at what she does. I like that in a recurring female character.
