Cordelia ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
The resentment's been hinted at since Skin, at least. I think the most telling part was the couldn't-save-Mom part, because it shows how far back it really went, and how some of it would have been there no matter how they'd been raised.
Or, what Suela and Amy said.
Okay, the stuff about the music, etc. being John's is just plain creepy.
I CALLED THAT. I totally did. (I mean, so did a million other people, but still! I did! I can dig up the LJ post from 2006!)
And we've known about the jacket since Something Wicked, yeah?
Think so, yes.

Oh now, you're gonna make me go and watch it again, aren't you? *Such* a hardship.
I blame the Cold from Hell--or gradeschooler, take your choice--for making me slow on the uptake about the resentment finally boiling over. It does make more sense if viewed that way.
I need to watch again, but there was some stuff (e.g. about the music, the coat, etc.) that almost suggested to me that his resentment of John was strongly tied up in his resentment of himself
Totally this.
I love the way they brought back Sam's precognition - v. amusing. I think that wackjob experimental subject became really adept at dreamwalking because he practiced ALOT and that's how he could figure out what would screw you over so much. I love the way that Sam identified for Dean where that house was.
And I have to say, I love that the exterior of the house exactly matched the blue stripe on Sam's shirt and that Dean's green shirt matched the furniture in the house.
(I am also imagining Sam explaining to Dean when it was that the pre-cog came back. ... hee.)
Oops.
I gotta say - the color, the art direction, and the filming during the search for Bobby? Top-notch.
That crazy hotel - beautiful.
They went all out with the motel last night, yeah. Awesome.
I loved seeing Bobby's house pre-widowerhood, too. And the super-saturated outside shots with Sam were so well done.
bleh, gotta go teach French New Wave movies to undergraduates when I would rather chat about the ep *pouts*. But, let me just say: /agree on the Daddy issues and resentment boiling over (let it out Dean, don't hold back, tell yourself how you really feel. . .), Sammy is adorably inept at flirting, and poor Bobby. The forest turning into the hotel was awesome and kudos for bringing some of the funny! Now, let's roll up our sleeves and figure out how to save Dean now that he wants to be saved.
