Okay, no, I didn't see that.

Huh.

Also - Scaredy Cat Dean is adorable.

Sahjahn! Thank you - I couldn't figure out where I knew him from.

Yay Morgana's Mom, she of good taste!

I was doing something at work for a lady (I think she was in her 70's) and she asked me if I watched any tv. Heh. "Yeah, a little." "Well, honey, you should watch The Mentalist. I can't remember which night it is on, but the actor in it is delicious."

If I could have done a spit take, I would have.

Oh, I totally didn't see that, Bev. I'll have to watch it again!

I'll have to watch it again!

Such a hardship, I know. *g*

I saw it! (And yeah, real hardship. My life, SO hard. ::hand to forehead::)

I'm reading that as a momentary memory, just a brief flash, and a teeny anvil to remind us what Dean is afraid of (or at least one of the things).

I just re-watched the last 5 minutes, and yes indeedy, there is a yellow flicker that cannot be explained away as a sun flare. They even used a music sting to emphasize it. But I have to agree with Amy's interpretation: a momentary memory, just a brief flash, and a teeny anvil to remind us what Dean is afraid of (or at least one of the things).

I hope that's all it is.

I know everybody's waiting for the big throwdown between the brothers, but honestly? I don't want it to be Dean and Castiel facing off against Sam, Ruby, and the armies of hell. I don't want Sam and Dean on opposite sides. Sam never wanted that, he begged Dean to *kill* him before he became that. And it *would* kill Dean to face off against his little brother.

I'm afraid that's where we're headed, though, and that yellow eyeflash is another signpost.

What Bev said. In fact, so much so, I just rewatched the ending of Becoming Part Two because I was paralleling Dean biting his lip with Buffy telling Angel to close his eyes.

Now I'm afraid for the boys.

Sam never wanted that, he begged Dean to *kill* him before he became that. And it *would* kill Dean to face off against his little brother.

Croatoan Dean would have put his hands at his side and said, "I won't fight you." It will be interesting to see how far Dean has come from that episode. He told Jamie he sees things differently now. I wonder if that applies to not wanting (or really being able) to live without his brother.

The episode was fun, and the interaction between the boys was great. But. Their plan to scare Luther and get rid of him? Beyond dumb. I know, I know, handwavy handwavy, but re-enacting Luther's death wouldn't scare him into leaving, it would make him more angry/determined for revenge.

sighs, waits for everyone to stop with the eye-rolling and the sidelong glances

I know. I know. I pick the goofiest things to nitpick.

I like your goofy nitpicking. You often pick up on things I just accept and gloss over, so I like the, "Hey, wait--" I get when you pick up on something I missed. Not so goofy.
