You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

The actor also played the husband of Maggie Walsh (Lindsay Crouse) in the episode of CSI where she played a MTF character.

He had a chance to use a really nice voice last night. Not often he gets to use that voice.

re: Castiel shaking Sam's hand. I may have missed it already being mentioned here, but I didn't think Castiel was being rude or squeamish about shaking hands, but rather had no idea what Sam was doing. I took it as "Castiel's a bit naive about human customs", although I'm sure that Sam took it as Castiel snubbing him.

Never heard samhain pronounced any other way than phon --phoen-- the way it's spelled. Crazy Celtic. The most that I'm familiar with is Sidhe being pronounced "She".

::nods:: "Scream like a Ban Sidhe", or a pale faery. Faeries is fierce, not like those Disney fairies, at all.

Phonetically.

I didn't even know that. What the hell, Celtic?

C.J. Cherryh had a couple of Celtic faerie stories (The Dreaming Tree and Tree of Swords and Stones? --great books, btw) with an Olde English and I guess old Gaelic glossary, and it took a lot of flipping back and forth before I could wrap my head around characters names being spelled one way and pronounced another. I totally dug it, but have forgotten most of it now.

(thanks, P-C)

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

the prospect of telling Dad on him.

Ahh! I can see that.

Me neither. Is it Keltic or like Boston, SELL-tic?

And how is SIOBHAN Pronounced: shi-VAWN!? What is with these different than us? Burn them.

Keltic.

Isn't that "Sean"?

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Heh. I just picture uncultured me at the front of a class taking attendance, saying, "Is Sigh-OH-ban O'Hara here? Sigh-Oh-ban?" And poor little Siobhan wondering if they were supposed to answer.

ETA: BEV, Loved the e-card!

HAPPY SAM HAIN EVERYONE!!

Dude, that is totally going to be my undercover name from now on. Just like Sam uses Jim Rockford.

"Go to the first motel listed in the yellow pages. Look for Jim Rockford..."

that was just a guess, like I said, I'm way way rusty. For all I know it's "Steve".

I'm on the side of Uriel being quieted by the thought of being reported to The Man by Castiel, although not knowing much about where Castiel lies in the heirarchy of angels, it's hard to say. I want to watch that scene again anyway with the knowledge that it was indeed a test.

I got a feeling that both angels were of equal, um, clout? No, status? Better. Just in different specialties. Castiel is a soldier, Uriel's a cleaner. Both have equal access to God's ear, neither has rank. Of course that's just an observation based on which of them dominated at different points in conversation, between themselves or with various Winchesters. And I'm totally going on observation here, I could be way off-base.

See, that thing with Shaun Cassidy in Bitches the other day, and well, Sean. And I have a friend named Shawn, and she's a girl. I dunno. Gonna fall back to Whedon and name 'em all Bill.
