That's where I am, Amy. Like, a world where demons win wouldn't
be any fun for the Trickster and he is trying to help Sam think outside the box, as it were, by showing him where his default reactions will lead.
That "for me to know and you to find out" thing he said after the Travis Bickle comment seems to hint that the Trickster knows something or has some kind of investment in Sam's future.
I still don't understand Ruby's motivation, so if she's behind the Trickster I am in the dark.
I think "in a skirt" just means a sort of wussy Travis Bickle. Like, crazy, but not *that* crazy. Yet.
Thanks Amy. "In a skirt" just kind of threw me. Suddenly I was trying to decipher an adult Dr. Seuss line.
I do not like him in a skirt, I do not like him in a shirt.
However, I very much like him without a shirt, and like him in that towel, which was kind of like a skirt...
Yes, yanking my brain back to the Excel tutorial I'm supposed to be reviewing right now. Ahem. But thank you for the pleasant little interlude, there.
I would comment about the Travis Bickle thing but I am still stuck on the shot of Sammy pulling out that bullet. Am I sick that I found that Sammy kind of hot? Hmm..probably don't need to know the answer to that.
Please. . . many, many of us are right there with you.
Oh good. Nice to know I am not the only one rewinding this section on the DVR over and over. . . .ahem. Did I just type that out loud? Bleh, half naked Sammy vs. bad essays on Godard's "Breathless" is no contest but I have got to get to work. Must turn off DVR. . . . .Must. . . .oh fine, one more time.
I have to admit that on the second viewing, I found the patching-himself-up scene kind of giggle-worthy. It's so completely OTT. He doesn't even wince as he threading a needle through his skin!
Also, to quote an LJ friend, apparently Sam's special power is to use his puppy-dog eyes on the Trickster and say please. Heh.

Hey, it would work for me. I am a sucker for sad eyes and both of my cats and my boyfriend Brian are keenly aware of this. Manipulative bastards. =P
Ugh, I hate using the term "boyfriend"--makes me feel 14 instead of 31. When I call him my 'partner' when he's not present people ask me how 'she' is, which is not offensive but quite inaccurate and I have a hard time with things like 'life-mate'. In any case, I have yet to find a satisfactory term to describe our non-married but committed lifestyle...bleh. I am open to suggestions.
How about just calling him your mate?
gasp! There's a Wolfram sighting in SPN! Hi there, and welcome.
Yeah, I know Sam did engage PDE. But I did think it was less default, more actual real acting on JP's part. I could be entirely biased. Or easily impressed.
