Okay, the "just 'cause" -- best of JP's career to date. Nice job kiddo.

I stayed up with the West Coast... anyone here?

I am now, but not for long. I was running late, so watched a little delayed.

Now that I have

completely flail

I think Bobby is perfectly plausible as a character.

Of course you do!

1) I take it that Bela is a skilled thief rather than a clever thief. Because it never occurred to her that selling the Winchester location to a dangerous psycho killer was something they would hold against her?

2) Destroying the cell phones: Depending on the type of phone the GPS could be tracked even with the cell phone turned off. Of course you don't need to destroy the phone: removing the battery would do.

3) Yeah Sam probably did get some blood in his mouth (though he was trying not to.) But remember, we already found out in a past episode that Sam is immune to a lot of demonic infections. (Someone working for the YED basically took out a whole town to prove this; though I suspect taking out the down was seen as an additional bonus, not a cost.)So he may just be immune to the vampire virus.

Why is Dean carrying the Colt around? (Also, nice to know it works on vamps too...)

Somebody needs to watch "Dead Man's Blood" - and they'll realize where that scene that was in fifty quadrillion "previouslies" came from.

LOVED the episode -- Sera Gamble gives excellent birthday gifts. Watched twice - and despite my digital cable I have lousy reception so I've been promised that I'm going to get to watch again on HD over Thanksgiving. There's reason enough to give thanks.

I will admit that the second time through there was a moment were they lingered on Sam and I looked at his hair and though, "Sam, your hair is making crazy animal shapes. Get it cut."

Typo Boy - I wondered about the destroying the cell phone thing.

Man, she integrated the arguing into the body of the episode, the pacing was excellent and the scene at the end with the car!!!!

Plus, Gordon got the excellent death that he deserved.

Ahh, yes, I remember now that John plugged that vamp in the head with the Colt. Ah, brain, how quickly you forget.

Also, I found the answer to my friend's question about the razor wire... Sam was holding it with something, some rags or somesuch, so that it didn't cut his hands.

I am hoping that my brother decided to tune in last night. He emailed me birthday greetings and asked me what I was doing. When I told him, he said that he recently got Direct TV and had never heard of the show. (I'm not sure how these things are connected but I get that if you have a dish you lose track of where/when things are on.) So I told him it's on WGN and it's about two brothers and their Impala and is a cross between "On the Road" and Nightstalker. I hope he watched.

Heh. What's great is that I actually kind of bought the idea that she meant to call Dean to warn them about Gordon but just got "busy" and didn't bother.

I really liked that scene with Vampire Gordon and Kubrick, how he was totally resolved to his fate but just wanted to do One More Thing with his special vampire powers.

Okay, am I the only one who when they were showing Harmony in the chair and Sam and Dean were good cop/bad copping her couldn't look at Sam and his empathy face without thinking of Sam in "Tall Tales" and the scene with Neil Grayston, "Oh you poor thing. Aren't you just too precious for words?" or something similar.
