Hee.

I know, right? They had me at Sam power-walking past the hotel window.

I wonder if they're going to address Dean's drinking problem head on. I want him to be an alcoholic forever, dammit.

It's so weird because I just expect Dean to drink. I don't even think about it anymore. I watched with my dad and early into it, Dad asked, "is he an alcoholic?" Heh. Well, it's complicated Dad.

I love how Dean looks around to see if Sam can see and then tries the stretch. And it hurt so he tries to get out of it as fast as possible. Jensen is so funny. Both boys are good at physical comedy.

I have to wonder if it's a genuine clip from an upcoming episode or just a one-off for the fans.

They are indeed. I just want to smish them both.

I get the impression they are; Sam's been making "tsk, tsk" noises quite a bit.

I am 100% certain it is a one-off for the fans.

I think it's the setup for an actual scene that they riffed on. No idea why, that's just my feeling.

Everyone saw it? Sorry I posted and ran -- had to run to the grocery store.

Yeah, I figure they were there shooting an actual scene and started messing around. And filmed it, so we could show it every year at Christmas!

My laptop decided to update just as I was getting ready to reply, darnit.

But I think that while up until now, Show has treated Dean's drinking habits as "it's there, but we don't talk about it", this last ep was pretty pointed about it. Less "yeah, he's functional, but hush" and more "pay attention to this!". It was just so much more blatant.

Of course, I thought that Cas' sexuality would be explored after Caged Heat, and nothing came of it.

So, I dunno, signs say we will see more on the subject, past experience tells me not to hold my breath.

Also, I think that just because a subject is addressed, doesn't necessitate it being resolved.

And now I'm cringingly thinking on the last episode and Dean's guilt. I just . . . that's just too big a subject to dedicate only one episode to. I think that's what bothers me most. That it's so messy and complicated and to have it distilled to a couple of points seemed wrong. And I never would have chosen Jo as Dean's top points of guilt.

When Osiris was asking Sam about Dean pulling him back into the life, I really wanted Sam to ask him if he knew nothing about the demon blood. And how demons have been watching over him his whole life. And that Sam was destined to be pulled back in eventually.
