It is a great sentence.

He's just a good con man. Has been since childhood.

Oh, Amy. Oh, Dean.

I probably sound cranky, but I'm feeling pretty lonely in my enjoyment of the episode, and my anticipation for the season.

I'm there with you. I watched the episode again tonight and as always see things that I miss on the first time. Gosh Darn, Jim Beaver nailed his part--I completely believed Bobby and that doesn't always happen for me. Sam was --simply beautiful. I think we have something deeper to uncover with him and that is great. Yay Arc!

Lisa, as you know, is a favorite of mine from the word go so she only improved for me. If Dean doesn't stay with her then I am asking her to be my girlfriend. I wish I had seen more of Ben, but I'll go where the writers take me on this one.

Grandpa Campbell--hmmm. That's tough because he obviously is holding cards close to his chest, but that doesn't have to mean bad. He was a hard core hunter who butted heads with Mary and I don't see any reason for her sons to get along any better with him.

The rest of the Campbells are frankly creepy. Especially the female cousin. When she grinned up at Samuel once, it was like she was some sort of minion. I don't know if that is intentional or that Saturday morning Sera was going, "Oh Shit!"

At this point I am giving Sera the benefit of the doubt. I'm pretty confident that she is going to continue my journey in a satisfying manner. She had a lot of things to set up after the season 5 finale.

And I saved the best gush for last (because it's not really me unless I say how astonishly crazy talented Jensen was in the episode.) Damn, dude, how did you play the whole episode with a lump in your throat? He totally needs an episode like Hush where he has no words. Every little nuanced thought is conveyed with his eyes and facial muscles. How do you show that you aren't head over heels in love with someone and yet really want to be with them, and given time, see the potential? Cause I saw him do that.

Theresa, right?!

I'm thinking we were supposed to be made to feel unsettled by that episode. It achieved its goal, but (for the most part) I didn't enjoy it. But I am still hopeful for the season, I still love the Winchesters, and I'm 99% sure next week's episode will make me happy.

eta: I won't be at all surprised if I end up feeling differently about the season premiere after a rewatch.

After another look at the title card, my mind is going to one place. I know I have some priming going on because "Super" is in the title, but I was thinking Superman's fortress of ice solitude, and also when the glass breaks, the floating crystal shard of the Phantom Zone.

So I fully expect this to portend that Tom Welling will be doing a guest appearance on SPN as Clark Kent.

Marksha has been cracking my shit up, tweeting about that show with the gay brothers.

what's egg!fic? is that mpreg for angels?

Kitty Alex?

ha! No, but close. She's the recipient.

I never want to see the word "cave" used to describe part of the human body. Ever. Again.
