Beau LOVED this ep. He said that this should totally be a Supernatural spinoff with Ness set in the 1940s.

I can see it and now I want more.

MOAR.

This was an excellent episode, marred only by the extreme unlikeliness of what's-her-face remembering the exact time and by the promos for the next episode, which seems to have my absolutely least favorite plot point.

Also, I still love the sheriff.

Since the clocks stopped, I'm good with it. That would be easier to remember, especially if you were looking at the clock, than just when a fight happened.

I was totally surprised, and thrilled, that Ness was a hunter, too. I didn't have any idea they'd go there.

Cherry pie:

I will say, though, that I feel we should start a countdown clock to the time when Jared's sideburns actually reach his mouth. Something ominous is going to happen then, clearly.

I like that Ness was a hunter for the rightness of it. I was getting a bit tired of "Here's my loss" Hunter show and tell. I know it's hard, and there's a big risk of death, danger, and privation, but some people do do that shit without being damaged into it, or inducted by psycho fathers.

More like the Campbells being in the business because they're in the business. Dean needs more of that. He needs positive role models. Hunting needs positive role models.

I will stand in staunch defense of Sam's flowing sideburns.

But they're competing with his hair! He's getting positively hirsute.

Although you won't see me complaining if Sam suddenly needs to grow a beard.

I love hiatus!Jared's mountainman beard, but I'm cracking myself up imagining a Sam Beam beard on him.

I am breathlessly awaiting screencaps of Dean with his coat and jacket off, interrogating the little guy. Ho mamma.

Loved Ness' little look of surprise when Dean's tough guy act worked so quickly.

Loved how, for the most part, Dean looked like a little boy playing dress-up, with his glee and doofiness.

I thought he pulled it off pretty well. I mean, when he wasn't talking about the movies.

One little quibble I have with the otherwise stellar show is that it involved yet another god from the Eastern hemisphere spending time in America and westernizing themselves despite no connection to the locale. In "Scarecrow" and "Hammer of the Gods" there were sensible reasons for them to be here, but for Leshii, Veritas. Chronos, Osiris, and the duo from "A Very Supernatural Christmas" it just seems out of place. (Though I did appreciate that Osiris presented as foreign.) Why not use Native American or Mesoamerican gods that would be far more logically active on these shores?
