knowing now that JP was looped on painkillers throughout shooting the ep is kind of fun

I was wondering about the timing of it. Did he break his hand during the filming of the previous episode and they just had him go castless until this one? OUCH.

I was a bit disengaged, so I missed the actual physical contact. It probably won't be still available for restore when I get home.

Sam's "I'm the weak link, aren't I?" thing is way entrenched, isn't it? I can see how some people might be yelling for him to get over it, but it's not like he hasn't been handed tons of evidence. Still, it made me think of him still asking in "The Song Remains The Same" if he might still give in and say yes. I wonder--how much did Dean tell him about "The End"? Does he know that Dean wanted to give in?

Plus, knowing now that JP was looped on painkillers throughout shooting the ep is kind of fun.

Where'd you hear that? Poor noodle.

I think it goes back even further than Dean telling him what their father said about him going darkside, blah blah (which hasn't happened in the reruns yet). I think even in terms of Jessica's death, and him ignoring his dreams, really screwed him up.

S2 dvd commentary, I think.

I think he has a lot of undeserved guilt about leaving "the life". Jessica's death was a consequence he takes completely on himself, and really, while consequences do follow him, it isn't really his fault. And I wish at some point he would deal with that reality.

But then, no angst, no story, no show.

Castiel hater.

Nu uh. But he's one of those that dies and comes back.

Bobby, not so much.

it isn't really his fault.

He was high.

So far. For some reason.

I was highly amused to read people pissed that Castiel called Sam his friend. Sam can't be Castiel's friend. Dean is Castiel's friend. Castiel's friendship is speshul, and no one can have it but Dean.

Castiel might not know what a Delorean is (I am quite tempted to make my tagline "I do not get that reference", but Castle wins for now), but he knows the lay of the land.

It is beginning to seem unfair that Sam and Dean apparently have a baker's dozen lives each, and for everyone else, dead is dead.

Except Castiel. And Anna.

I think my favorite Castiel line so far (aside from stoned! hippie! Castiel) is from the promos for next week. He nails those straight lines.

They must be the same people who were angry at Bobby when he more or less told Dean to suck it up and stop whining and that family isn't supposed to make you feel good, and what did you want, a pie? Because I remember reading comments that said they knew they should feel bad for Bobby that he was in the hospital and in a wheelchair, but they just couldn't because he was mean to Dean!1!

Bobby is not going to die. Occult Researchers Witness Protection Program!

Poor widdle Dean. Can't take a chewing out.

I also skimmed a couple SPN entries from the fandom wank wiki, just so I could get a proper feel from the fandom. Tee hee.

When people are all "Kripke outed fannish behaviour!" do they recall the extent of the fan-crazy aimed in Show's direction that he ignored when he wrote Becky and the LARPers?

People need to stop writing stuff about SPN, so I can stop reading it.

Supernatural Romance.

Which again, goes there:

[Dean's] style of lovemaking emphasizes the spiritual over the carnal (in contrast to his brother's more ahem goal-oriented style).

I am so sure that if we'd been treated to Jess sex it would have been very touching and sensitive. And Dean cares for just a fraction of the ass he's tapping.

Which I'm all good with. I just don't see him as the romantic.

Unrelatedly, favourite Sam mannerisms V2 (haven't found #1 yet). Quite amusing.
