Well, grrr. My cable froze when Dean was doing the stabby-stabby and all I saw was one stab.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

He kind of went to town on her, but if I remember correctly it was all through the spinal column. It struck me as angry, but not particularly sexual.

I think Dean just has demon issues. I think the writers have female issues. Has anyone ever done a count of how many of the demons on this show are female and how many are male? I'm willing to bet the ratio is way out of whack.

All I know is, screw Bela. Dean and Ruby need to have hot, angsty, I-wanna-be-human sex now.
Bears repeating.
Also, OH SHOW.

Also, she had just tried to kill Dean long-distance, while he was in the motel room, and then tried to kill both Dean and Sam in the house.

And she killed two (relative) innocents, one right in front of them.

I'm not a huge proponent of the (unconcious) anti-female issues on this show, but that stabbing scene, the way it was filmed, just hit me wrong. I get Dean being angry beyond angry, intellectually, but in that case I would have thought the shot should have been on his face, and not on the stabby porn. Usually I am immune to these things. So maybe all the convos here finally sunk in, or this really was a bit more extreme than the norm. *shrugs*

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
when Dean stabbed that demon over and over and over and over again, and the way the camera lingered on the firey stabs, it just felt wrong.
Ding ding ding! Number of stab wounds is a pretty easy rule of thumb for how psycho-hosebeast the killer is, on every single TV show but this one. That goes double when he's got her pinned, and he knows it'll be fatal the first time.
Somebody needs lots of therapy. Not the characters, I mean.

Not to get all defending the male patriarchy, but... maybe they just wanted a longer shot of the sweet "demon electrocution" thing?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I've seen enough of Highlander -- where the electrocution is like electron porn! It goes on and on and on, and then a few last sparkles for good measure! -- to know that one fatal injury is as good as many where pyrotechnics are concerned. You can use slo-mo, you can use dramatic shot-reverse shot reactions, you can turn that lady into a Tesla machine -- but it's not necessary that Dean be doing anything at all to her, after the knife has gone in the first time.
