Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?

Next week looks awesome.

This week felt like filler. Meh.

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

The beginning had me cringing, but the kids being in on it together and being malevolent worked for me. Lucifer could have won right then. I wasn't expecting the stakes to go high. I worried it would be an hour of shenanigans.

Good god, JP is Sasquatch indeed. Man's massive.

I think they've had them helping people from their past two eps a row, so not normal hunting, plus now they're aware they're on the most wanted list of a wide network of devoted amateurs. It ratcheted up tension I hope they keep.

That part I liked. I hope the writers do more with that.

Because books.

Lucifer could have won right then.

See, I don't think so. Isn't the soul, the person what needs to give consent? Lucifer can find his way into Sam's head, into his dreams -- I don't think that has a lot to do with the meat suit. I think he'd sense that Sam wasn't really in there.

The demon sounded like she was happy about getting the meat suit in the bargain, and that she had to talk him into saying yes to something.

Doesn't make sense with needing Sam's rage, though.

Also weirdness--does Dean want to settle down now, or does he want it for Sam?

Because books.

Oh, they'd want the vessel, certainly. I'm just not sure someone else in it giving consent would work.

I kept expecting Sam to have an asthma attack when he was struggling in the chair.

It sure sounded like they were asking for the same sort of acquiescence they'd been angling for from Sam. She seemed stoked at the bonus.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

They played it like anything in Sam's meat could say yes and it'd count. Veracity of that aside, it read like Garry could give Lucifer the meatsuit invitation.

What gets me is how far they've come from "what don't I know about that kid?"

Seriously.
