I didn't think he was creepy talking through the Impala, but whoa man, he was creepy as hell coming through the TV.

Yes. This. Shades of Poltergeist and Ringu, IMO. Dean even made the Carol Ann shout out.

Oh, this morning's episode hurts. Sam in the panic room. Gulp.

Unrelatedly, I just figured out that Samantha Smith played the Hot Girl Joey couldn't find in Ross's building in that episode of Friends.

Dean's oath to God and the angels. What did that even count for? At the time it could have been nothing more than words intended to keep him in line, since there was no God in on the plan. Did read one fic that interpreted it like he'd sworn allegiance to God and Castiel and it threw a wrench into Zachariah's plans, but I think that was a bit liberal.

Oh, the cruelty of putting all those words in Dean's mouth for Sam to hear. Both now and in the phone message later.

Have they ever dealt onscreen with Castiel letting him out of the panic room or the voicemail message being jiggered with?

I was wondering about that, too, ita. I had forgotten the oath.

I don't think they ever dealt with either the panic room release or the phone message on screen. The Js discussed it at a con, though, when someone asked about the voicemail. They seemed a little confused, too.

::sniff::

If we can get past the end of When The Levee Breaks (well, uh, mostly) then we can get past a little thing like throwing away an amulet, right?

I *adore* the deluge of fics and recaps and reviews that have Sam fishing it out of the trash. I can only imagine that Kripke would love to torture us and not do the obvious.

It kills me when they fight physically. Ugh, the pain.

I haven't even read any of the fic, but man, if the amulet stays gone, I will ... write a very strongly worded letter. To someone.

Somehow I see someone other than the boys or Cas showing up with the amulet. Not sure who or how, though now that I'm thinking about it - would love it to be Bobby. Now clue how to get from here to there, but would really like to see that.

The Js discussed it at a con, though, when someone asked about the voicemail. They seemed a little confused, too.

I love this interaction between them. I wish I could find it. Jensen's adorably confused while Jared (once he gets it) is cracking up trying to explain what the fan is talking about.

I love how they play off each other and this is a great example. When Jensen finally gets it, he asks Jared if Sam still thinks Dean really left that message and Jared says "say the word" and Jensen knows right off to say "Action". Jared slips into character to "ask" Sam. Soooo cute.

I've been eating up the codas with a spoon. Only once so far has Dean killed Roy and Walt--most people aren't even going there. Usually it's focussed on Sam getting the amulet and either apologising profusely to Dean or setting his head on straight, depending on the predilections of the author. Sometimes reading really feels like eavesdropping.

Oh, no, Bobby is being mean to Dean! But now in S5 Dean's in that place times a hundred, and Bobby's in his own bad place.

ehab, you wouldn't happen to have a link, would you? That sounds adorable.
