I handwaved that if there is a nest and you are trying to bring new vamps in, you aren't surprised when they show up? My hands were waving really fast, yes.
I am not even getting into the girls in cages. I sort of thought they were still human and they were trying to torture them / brain wash them / compel them. If the caged women were actually vamped? I ... just don't even.
This show tries me. I want to love it, but it's trying me. I am settling for liking it and seeing what happens. It's easier if I have lower expectations.
That said, damn, some pretty shots in this ep, some great Dean, some freaking creepy Sam and the occasionally awesomely self-aware dialog.

So, ignipes wrote a story and it's not terribly flattering to SPN and it's a VampD crossover and I kinda love it a lot.
because it smacks of a badly concealed fetish to have women in them
I haven't rewatched yet. Were all the women young 17-year-olds? Because that's just another layer of ick.
I saw there was the one girl who was turned early. She seemed very unhappy to be a vamp as she walked past Dean. I wonder if those were the teens who were vamp fans and knew enough to realize they'd been fooled and had to be "tamed".
My sense about monsters is they are breeding or creating more monsters because demons have retreated and are engaged in power struggles in hell since the Apocalypse ended. Monsters are all now jockeying to fill that vacuum topside.
I must agree with ita on Sam hotness. Creepy, yes. Drool-worthy? OMFG ::fans self::
I think Dean said he could smell where the vamp headquarters was, so if that was a standard gift with purchase maybe the head vamp figured turned ones would come by to be with others of their kind.
If the boys tracked down what they thought was a non-human monster who when caught turned out to be a human serial killer, I suspect they would kill him anyway.
In "Family Remains" the feral children are human killers, and I think Dean kills one of them.
Having to lock the girls up makes sense to me. These girls wanted Twilight and instead they got Ron Jeremy - The Younger Years. A switch like that would have me good and pissed for quite a while.
Oh, um, hi! Sorry for just jumping in - usually by the time I catch up in this thread, at least one someone has already said everything I would say so I just read and nod a lot.
Nicole! HEY YOU!!!
In this particular episode, given Kripke's feelings about Twilight, the caged girls didn't bother me a bit. Seemed metaphorically logical, given the plot, as well as the meta of what Twilight is about, at base.
I forgot to mention how much I loved the old bank set. So very corporate, you know? Really perfect for this iteration of vampires and their plans.
