Seriously, Ben, can you quit with the offensively juvenile gay jokes. I was left cringing multiple times.

Otherwise, I enjoyed that episode a lot and I laughed out loud a bunch.

That episode delivered the most marvelously lecherous Sam to-date. Jared gives great lecherous looks. The microwave scene will forever be a favorite. Jensen was almost too slap stick in his delivery, almost but not quite. For the most part he had me in stitches. The opening credits were brilliant.

The last scene was too much. I may be sick of the impala brotherly moments. ::Hangs head in shame & turns in her Winchester fan badge::

I may be sick of the impala brotherly moments

aww and I was all, "green cooler!"

I wasn't expecting them to rise above the usual juvenile humor in a show about fairies but I did appreciate that it seemed like they stopped Dean from calling Tinkerbell a bitch.

Dean did call Tinkerbell a bitch. Did I miss something?

OK that's weird. I was waiting for him to say it, and then the scene changed. Did I black out for a moment?

You know, the ep did have a strange "my masculinity is threatened by girly fairies" vibe.

There was only one girly fairy, though. And that's the only one that got beaten in hand to hand.

Or I should have rather said "threatened by the existence of fairies, they're for girls".

It wasn't anything explicitly stated, except the overall tone of awkwardness and the too wide-scared eyes and goofy music, more of a meta directorial awkwardness. There's going for funny, but I was also a little disappointed that there wasn't a more dark, sober gossamer thread of "I have newfound respect for all things faerie, don't fuck with them". Instead of the tittering. I'll have to rewatch to better illustrate (or maybe discover that I am crazy --off the top of my head: "I'd rather deal with anal-probing aliens than faeries" paraphrased).

Really? I got the other impression--once Tinkerbell was dealt with, the fairies were more sober, traditional, and straight up threatening. Also, winning, and responded to as such.

The other scene that comes to mind is when Dean is being stalked by the Red Cap, and he's all bug-eyed twitchy nervous slapstick Yellow Fever about it.

So the DA got slipped a handwavium capsule

I kinda feel that Dean being returned was part handwavium too, because I can't believe that none of the other abductees would have fought back. Unless the fae didn't want Dean because he wasn't from that particular town, and the sacrifice ("the fat of the land") had to come from that particular area?
