Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?  

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

killing that demon may have been the precise right choice to flex his muscles at the time.

That was actually what I was thinking. Killing the demon eliminated a possibly unreliable member of the crew ("he wanted to kill us more than he wanted to work the job") and it allowed Sam to show very graphically "don't fuck with us." Win/win, as far as he was concerned.

See, and I totally read that as an indication of Sam's well-honed hunter instinct. He read the body language of that demon and concluded he was a mole for Crowley, paying too much attention to the participants in the mission than the mission itself.

There's also the fact that doing so DID get the demon-killing knife back in Winchester hands. That's a huge thing when going into a dangerous situation with demons at your destination and tagging along with you.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I totally saw it as a way for the writers to get the knife back in Winchester hands. What felt "huh?" to me was the "he wanted to kill us more than he wanted to work the job" line. Because, no, that guy was just standing there. Being evil. Like a demon.

I mean, I can handwave it amongst other things or say it's that soulless Sam easily tells lies (which I am cool with cause he's got no soul) but why does Meg buy it?

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I believed Sam when he said it. I thought at the time that the demon was showing too much interest in Sam and Dean, posturing against Dean, so what Sam said made sense to me. The demon was a loose cannon that couldn't be trusted to stay on target.

I don't think it has to be more complicated.

Because books.

Hey, we won the TV Guide cover!

Art Crawl!!!

I can't wait for the next episode. I believe it is written by Sera Gamble so I'm hoping that characterizations will be more settled.

Had to rewatch last night. Not sure that I saw Cas looking down - but I loved Dean's reaction to the kiss - those hand gestures = gold. Then I watched "Wishful Thinking". . . love that episode. Love it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't believe we won the cover! It's not a huge thing, in and of itself, but it's a cool thing, plus hopefully new pretty pics.

It's very nice! And it sounds like the guys are pleased, too.

Here's the cover. Sam is randomly blue-eyed. WTF?
