Canonically, though, why would Sam not hug Cas? Is Cas so other that he's unhuggable, even when Sam feels he's responsible for saving him from the Cage (he did know that then, right?)?
That's not very nice.

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

Are we talking about pre-"Apointment in Samarra" or post-? Before I can see Sam just not bothering, after I wouldn't think he'd regard Cas as too other for friendly affection. Though being in a snit over a recent reminder that he likes Dean better strikes me as entirely plausible.

Christian Campbell's eyes show so little white, every time the camera pans to him I think momentarily that he's possessed.

Because books.
Me, too! His eyes are kind of freaky.
Also, the guy playing his concerned friend Spencer has been recycled -- he played the young husband at the beginning of Provenance.

Yeah, a detective is sure going to talk about a murder case going cold when there have been 4 serial murders in the space of a month, one of them as recent as a couple of days ago. Police departments pull cases like that due to manpower shortages all the time.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I really think the witch's head should have blown off as soon as he tapped into Sam and Dean's psyches.

Ditto! If I'd written this episode, he would have been all "Now scream as I reach into your minds to confront you with your worst memor—AHHHHHHHHHHMAKEITSTOPMAKEITSTOPMAKEITSTOP!!!1!"

This is another one co-written by Bob Singer's wife. Her episodes always have sex in them, and most of them seem weak and/or vaguely icky to me. See Dean's curiosity about bestiality. He does have some tact, you know? He's also not a complete fool. I don't like the way she writes him. Well, she and her writing partner. Not sure if it's the same one all the time.

I'm talking about the Sam (avec soul) that tells Cas he can't hug him because it would be awkward. It has only come up once, right?
It didn't occur to me that the witch was stopping to see what they saw in their heads until you said so--I thought he was just unleashing the ugly stuff they had going on. And I love that Hell isn't enough for Dean. It was only 30 years of torture, that's nothing now.
Both boys felt a bit off to me--why would Sam walk up to a suspicious noise without a drawn weapon? I may have bought more of the Dean than you did, Amy. He's frank about sex, and he did not respect either of them much at the time. But in general there were too many voiced thoughts--Dean's inability to go undercover in the witch bar--he must have gone under with people he found suspicious or untrustworthy before. That was painful to watch, and if you're going to name the cat THE CAT (I don't care if Dean doesn't speak that much French--I do--do all the feline familiars share the same surname, or are there some El Gatos too?) having him not be able to work out he's having an allergic reaction to one is pretty dense.
