I was seriously expecting to then see Dean back at Lisa's door.

And then I was expecting Dean to say, "Well, it's a step.... but it's too late, I don't want to see you again."

And, really Sam? Dean was getting ready to walk away from you if you didn't come clean? I don't remember hearing those groans.

promo: FIGHT THE FAEIRIES!!!! bwah!

I thought my heart was broken as Lucky loped away, all alone, but then Sam broke it all over again.

And JP is playing this Sam so well -- just cold, and blank, and with the cruel jokes that are so un!Sam. It's subtle, but the difference is really remarkable.

Dean was totally identifying with Lucky, which was also heartbreaking. Amanda looked so much like Lisa, too, and a single mom with a kid -- sort of anvilicious, sure, but a nice parallel, I thought.

I think Dean told him he was ready to walk away last week, Julie. And he clearly wanted answers. And Sam clearly hadn't admitted just how deep his soullessness ran.

Poor Sam, too. Yes, it is harder to live your life with a conscience, baby, and you had an excellent one that caused you no end of delicious angst. It's no wonder it's a little relief to step away from it, but YOU NEED IT. And you need Dean. You know that, though!

bleah ... my wifi kicked me off towards the end.

Poor Lucky ... maybe he'll find a new home, a good one. And Sam ... what does it say about the whole Hunter ... ethos? ... that Sam's a better Hunter without his soul?

And I am SO looking forward to the fairies - are they going to bring in Bobby? can's you just see Bobby taking on Tinkerbelle?

double post - bah!

This is a totally new development, isn't it? In the past it was always Sam who over-identified with the Monsters-of-the-week, while Dean told him to knock it off. (For instance, the rugaru.) I don't remember Dean self-identifying with one of the things they were hunting before.

This is a totally new development, isn't it?

Off the top of my head, yeah. But I think that's the point/hint of the broken mirror. Everything's upside down this season.

Okay, I just read something that just turned into surprise mpreg. WTF?!?

I think Dean is identifying as the has-brought-danger potential-supernatural-threat outsider "almost" family member, Feeling it hard.

FIGHT THE FAERIES! FIGHT THE FAERIES!

Please let Bobby be in next week's episode. PLEASE. ZOMG, that would be fantastic.

Soulless Sam is happier which is the saddest thing ever.

Holt and Wilson? Is Dean secretly listening to roots reggae?

It's hard not to feel sorry for Lucky but he killed the landlord because the rent was overdue.

If I clap my hands enough will Bobby appear in the next episode?
