What about Aaron, who we saw in the episode where we met Balthazar? Wasn't he missing his soul until Balthazar was forced to return it?
There was no clear indication that that wasn't a lien like the one Crowley had on Bobby.
Or maybe not, considering Show doesn't tend to linger over aftereffects very often.
To be fair, Dean's started sleeping in his clothes, primarily above the covers, and drinking harder after he came back. They can't possibly be realistic (since no one recovers from that shit), so I think they put a fair marker on ongoing damage.
They also showed Dean having nightmares and flashbacks. They just used his usual "repress, repress, repress" behavior as a way to make him (mostly) functional.
That was excellent. I subscribed to his youtube feed and watched his other video. Hilarious.
Dear Misha,
One word. Chainsaw. (Or bow saw or pruning saw or practically anything other than what you were using.)
Do you get the feeling that Misha's mother is only now recovering from her PTSD of raising him?
Misha: "I've got a great idea!"
Mother: "Lord, help us."
I have a sudden urge to send her flowers. And Xanax.
Good news about SPN ratings.
I'd forgotten to consider the shift to Fridays when I was looking at this year's ratings. I still feel dreadfully protective of Show, though.
