The Polish thing cracked me up. And doesn't Jared actually say, "I'm apparently something called a Jared Padalecki"? Or close? Like it's another species! (A giant one.)
Jayne: You wanna go, little man? Wash: Only if it's someplace with candlelight.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"So now you're *Polish*?"
I love that. Like, how must that fuck with your sense of the universe, to find out your brother is somehow a different ethnicity from you all of a sudden?
As well as an alien species.

I really thought it was going to be awkward and mottsy, but I love the preview like cake.
The io9 crew were not feeling the love for the last episode, I see. And it was sort of clunky, although I'm willing to accept way more than most. But the one person who ripped into the Ben actor's lack of acting skill -- I was like, dude, he's eleven or something. Give him a break. I also thought he did perfectly well in his scenes.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Yeah, give the kid a break. He's a kid. I've seen worse from adults.

I did like him a lot more in S3, but that's entirely the writing. The kid's always done a good job with his lines.
I'm not getting the "worse episode ever!" reaction over on IO9. It's probably my least favourite of the season, but I'd watch it again over Route 666 (I can look at stills for the good bits) or the one with Paris Hilton, just for starters.
Trying to work out if I can/should skip bits of S3 with bon. Malleus Malleficarum may hit the cutting room floor.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Aside from Katie and the "short bus" exchange, the *only* good part of MM for me was the reverse-clutch. When have we *ever* seen Dean clutch at Sam for help? Clutch for reassurance that Sam's okay, clutch to help him, sure. But even in Faith, Dean was shrugging off Sam's help. So the clutching made an impression.
I have an icon. Somewhere. May not be loaded at the moment. Of Dean clutching in support of migraine!Sam in Nightmare and poisoned!Dean clutching at Sam in MM.
Clutch, clutch, clutch, the word has lost all meaning.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I like Ben a lot better now that he seems like a normal kid rather than a gradeschooler possessed by Wayne or Garth.

It's the most disappointed I've seen Annalee since I started reading her recaps, but she clearly loves the show. I don't blame her, it was just surprising because I didn't think the episode was that uneven.
But I rewatch Route 666 and even Bugs. And all of S3! I take Winchesters however I can get them, apparently.

I don't know why I'm still trying so hard to polish up Show for bon. We're past the first Winchester date stage. But we stack a lot of TV in each evening (I think we did 4 eps of SPN and 4 of The Wire), so I want to get the most bang for the buck.

I can totally see FFing someone through S3. I just get sucked in by an earnest!Sam expression or Dean being angsty and then I can't look away.
But for bon, I might skip a couple of that season to get to the meatier goodness of S4. I'm so glad she's enjoying it! Come to the Winchester side, people! It's angsty and pretty and delicious, and we have rock salt and tears. Sometimes together.
