I unashamedly adore the first Lara Croft movie. House porn, the cool aerial stuff she does, man servants, action and adventure, plus Daniel Craig naked. You can't beat that in my book.

Gerard Butler was looking pretty sweet in the second, but it wasn't enough. I found it oddly short on adrenaline pumping.

I haven't seen any Lara Croft movies for no particular reason. Lotta movies I haven't seen.

I'm going to venture that Dean is a BIG fan of the Tomb Raider franchise.

I should have stopped at LARP and the Real Girl.

What didn't you like, Cass?

It was all secret society and hidden knowledge that I normally eat up with a spoon but it felt so shoehorned into this world.

As much as I feel like they've upped the power and knowledge of Dean and Sam overly far in recent seasons, they are kinda heros if you know what evils exist in the world. I can understand the unaware world looking down on them, they seem like creepy drifter serial killers. But if you fight evil, give them some respect.

Henry wanted to do things his way to save his kid. Dean wanted to do things his way to save his brother. So it was family first but every person for their own family. It's totally human, but I don't find it heroic when you'll either change the entire world to raise your son or stop someone with violence because you want to save your brother.

I am just really eh on it.

I was most invested in the threat to Baby and thankfully she escaped with just a broken window. And the fact that Dean and Sam both looked really pretty. I'm not at all sure where any of this fits in the mythology of the show or what it means for the future. And, worse, I deleted the ep after I watched it. I just didn't care enough to rewatch. It feels odd to be that kind of fan of the show.

Both CJ and I yelled "Don't hurt Baby!" at the same time.

I think since Swan Song it's become really clear who my favorite Winchester is. Don't hurt Baby, indeed.

Who stopped someone with violence to save their brother? Is it accurate to say Henry's motivation was to save his son?

We've seen two people associated with the Men of Letters. One was a novice, and one a veteran of their magic wars. The novice was extremely disdainful of hunters. The experienced one was not.

Is it reasonable to feel we know how the Men of Letters regard hunters yet? This group that worked with them to do good? Given that Henry was proven to be...not exactly an unreliable narrator, but wrong in his biases, why give such weight to them? Why decide they're representative this early on in the plotline? I see a lot of people doing that, and I have to admit I don't get it.

When push came to shove, Henry was going to go back and defeat Abaddon and raise his son. Dean was going to defeat Abaddon and save his brother. Henry decided to go with the Sam plan, but at what point were either of them not going to defeat Abaddon?

John was on a mission of revenge for those twenty years, but the family being was saving people, not researching house fires.

I joke about the scorched earth for Sammy thing, but it's been forever since Dean did something like that--that was the point of the end of season 5, and they haven't reneged on it yet.
