She maintains her composure when under threat of death, and is good at what she does. I like that in a recurring female character.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

OMG, SUNSHINE DORE???
I would flail... if I knew what that meant.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I actually didn't get that from the episode, due to the shirtless beefcake drowning we had next.
But with the first brother, he wasn't all the way undressed, we did not have the long showering build up to the beginning of the death, and he died much more quickly than she did, with none of the accompanying naked flesh pressed against the steamy shower walls. I also couldn't help comparing this bathtub scene to the Dead in the Water one.
eta: Bela still irritates me, but in retrospect, a lot of my favorite lines or moments from the ep involved her.

In Dead in the Water, the dead dudes died tastefully and fully clothed, with nary a waxed pec in sight. I was honestly expecting more flesh in the shower scene than we got, and was pleasantly surprised that it remained in nod-to-Psycho territory.

The actress who played Gert also played, when she was young and pert and blonde, Harold's infamous third date, the (HORRIBLE!) actress Sunshine Dore, in Harold and Maude. Harold and Maude is the timeless love story of a floppy-haired young man who drives a hearse and loves to stage fake suicides, and a 79 year old woman with a lust for life, who's decided to end said life on her 80th birthday.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Baby steps. Baby steps.Admitedly, my snark was before we sexualized the brother's death. So, yeah, I will agree on the baby steps. Which is way better than no steps.
Unless we are objectifying Dean and then I am shallow and all for it.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
I don't need to have the boys in every shot of the show.
Can someone translate?
The panic attack was hysterical.
This is the flail that never ends. It just goes on and on my friends.
I found the whole Gert business very annoying.
And uncomfortable making. Being young and in on the joke was much more fun. Getting older, the joke is less funny and more sad.

I meant Amy Acker's bathtub scene.

Oh, I figured, but I was explaining (I require more coffee today) why I saw it as an improvement on Dead in the Water. Which I thought was more sexualized with its the female deaths or near deaths. Bikini trumps jog bra! Tub with LIMBS OF ACKER trumps shower with tasteful fogged mirror.
WINE TRUMPS ALL.

Can someone translate?Not without getting meta and explaining that the actors are being overworked. Because, for me, the show revolves around the boys. So I know the actors can't be in every shot but I still kinda greedily want the boys there...
WINE TRUMPS ALL.WIN!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
The actress who played Gert also played, when she was young and pert and blonde, Harold's infamous third date, the (HORRIBLE!) actress Sunshine Dore, in Harold and Maude.
And also Elizabeth, Father's umfriend among the people Below, in Beauty and the Beast. I thought it was really cute how they never actually wrote any sex, or even affection for those two, but man, let another female look at him and Elizabeth was looking daggers. I think it was all Geer, 'cause I'm sure it was never written, or acknowledged in any way by any of the writers or other actors.

Yes. This. They are--well, Ackles confessedly is, anyway--aware that their audience is 30-50 year old females. HowEVer, TPTB covet 18-30 yo males, and attempt to market to them, because they believe they impulse spend the most.
