other than seeing Sam process his loss and Dean markedly not, this one doesn't grab me so much
Wait till you see the end. The MOW is strictly a vehicle for Winchester issues here, true, but the very end of the episode is worth it for me.
'Just Rewards (2)'
[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.

TORTURE.
Which I guess is only fair.
Dude, that's a hell (NPI) of a marketing campaign. I saw that Misha did some in-character UK TV promos encouraging people to track some sigils or something down to help the Winchester brothers out in his quest.
They went all out.
Okay, now to finish watching the episode.
so freaking cool!
Oh, Dean! Baby!
::sniff::
Is this the first appearance of Dean's single manly tear, resplendent in its crystalline perfection, sliding down his chiselled cheek?
The manly tear, maybe. He was definitely crying in the season ender for S1, though. I can't think of another time before that, though.
Okay, I think I still have that on TiVo. I may have to check that for research.
I'm sucked into the Supernatural page on tvtropes. They call JA and JP bishonen! Sasquatch? Really? Rare bishonen? Do they watch shows on the CW? If those two are it, it ain't rare. coughIanSomerhaldercough.
What is bishonen?!
I had no idea either, and so headed to Google. According to the Television Tropes site (and what's the word for when you use a word to define itself?):
A popular anime character type is the Bishonen, or "beautiful boy", affectionately called "bishies" by fans who are particularly into the type. He is tall, slender with almost no fat and little to no muscle, androgynously beautiful, and no body or facial hair. Some bishonen, like Hotohori from Fushigi Yuugi, can be mistaken for women; others are clearly males who have 'feminine' or at least effeminate traits, such as long hair. Bishonen can be found equally distributed between heroes and villains; bishonen villains often develop devoted followings among fans.
There are generally two camps regarding these characters. One, mostly male but with many females, thinks that they look like women. The other, almost exclusively female, thinks that they are hot, and that to insinuate otherwise is a capital offense.
It goes on from there, using many anime examples.
Other than the bit about being tall, ridiculously hot and the lack of body hair, none of this seems accurate.
