I would pay someone cash money for the ability to excise "Carry On My Wayward Son" at will. It is now my default earworm, and I know, like two lines.

I could send it to you. That way you would know more.

I'm not sure that would help or harm.

But I'm willing to find out!

Thanks!

Just finished up today's ep. Dean in a tux--love. "Don't objectify me" and "angry sex" indeed. Charming bits, even if I wasn't in love with the whole thing. And I do wish Dean was warier of Bela by this point. She's already shot Sam.

Dean's little smirk as he walks away after the "Don't objectify me" line is so JA, really, but I love it.

Here's my S1 list, after much careful thought.

The pilot: It sets up everything you need to know so perfectly – Sam clutching at normal with both hands, Dean blindly faithful to the life his dad has trained him for, and his dad, plus brother tussling, paper clip porn, the first bitch/jerk exchange, Dean’s smart mouth and Sam’s earnest concern, and the bookend of Dean saving Sam from a fire again, and Sam signing on for vengeance.

Home: Not just for Missouri, although she’s a big part of it (as well as the shot of John at the end). Sam’s dream visions, the way Dean freaks out but won’t show it, Dean’s call to John, the backstory we get with them digging into their own childhood. Such a hurty episode, especially with them saving the kids.

Faith: Dying Dean! Wan, weak Dean in a Sam!hoodie! Sam fighting to save his brother, and Dean, as always, pretty sure he doesn’t deserve to live. Plus it’s the first time we see them dealing at all with faith and God, which is interesting, especially now. Dean’s interaction with Layla was pretty sweet, too.

Shadow: So much good brotherly ribbing and interaction in this one, and then Meg, of course. Also, scary! The daeva was vicious. Plus, the reunion with John, which chokes me up every time.

Devil’s Trap: The gang’s all together again! But oh, the angst. The cabin scene breaks me into tiny pieces, JDM is spectacular (they all are), and the final scene was one of the most evil cliffhangers I’ve ever seen.

Sending shortly, along with a bonus.

How many eps are we allowed to pick per season?

Bonus angsty earworm potential, for sure. Thanks!

Don't ask me about how many to list. S2 broke me. And looking at Amy's S1 list I want to change my answers. But I am going to stay firm.

the final scene was one of the most evil cliffhangers I’ve ever seen

Oh, god, this. Epic bastardy.

Perkins, list as many as you like! I have to do the "if the house was burning, what would I carry out?" thing or I'd be here all night.

Season 1--Skin, Home, Asylum, Dead Man's Blood, Devil's Trap

Season 2--In My Time of Dying, Croatoan, NightShifter, Tall Tales, NOOOOOO--I can't choose, and you can't make me.

Croatoan represent, baybee!

And I'm glad to see you run up against the same S2 issues that I did.

Why do you think I'm waiting to do that one? TOO. HARD.
