Okay, and the other issue I have with this is Jimmy. As in, I don't think he signed up to have sex with random women as a result of carrying Castiel around.
How's that different than Sam having sex with a demon-possessed girl?

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

I remain under the impression that Jimmy wasn't resurrected when Castiel was, and that the vessel, like Ruby's, is effectively empty.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Jimmy's dead at this point.
I agree, P.M.
Oh, Jimmy has completely left the building.
I think it plays sort of nicely into how Castiel has slowly been becoming more human, but I also really don't think the whole episode is going to be some frat-boy fantasy of girls and booze and hedonism, so.
It would be nice if this was a long way into partially addressing Dean's intimacy issues, but I suspect they aren't going there.
It just strikes me as Dean's only way of relating -- if it were his last night on earth, minus the arrival of hell hounds, it's certainly what he would be doing.
I'm also not sure it's completely foreign for an angel to want some of things humans experience -- that's why Anna fell, after all.
But yes, I don't think it should be played out like Animal House, and I (mostly) don't believe it will be.
I'm leaning toward the idea that they go out with the intention of partying and they're interrupted by violence. After all, if they're going to perform some big ritual at sunrise, someone might want to try to stop them before they can.
Also, you should just never try to do important rituals when you're hung over. No good can come of it.
I think I can handle meta in a comedy (like Psych) better than I can in a drama. On Supernatural, the meta tends to give me hives, and I shout at the screen "oh, my god, STOP DOING THAT."
Ditto here. Even when it's done with affection like on Angel and this show, direct acknowledgement of fandom makes me wince. Whereas I can watch the absolute geekiest comic shop Batman debate scenes of Big Bang Theory and happily shout "I KNOW THAT GUY!"
Even when it's done with affection like on Angel and this show, direct acknowledgement of fandom makes me wince.
Given the degree to which this fandom sometimes tries to force its way into the reality of the people involved with the show, there's a part of me that feels like turnabout is fair play. But of course, there's probably not a whole lot of overlap between the segments of fandom wincing at the meta and the segment leaping from stairwells.
And that's leaving aside the potential effect on the show itself. I do wish they'd let it go already.
