That was a good one, Theresa. I missed the voicemail, but I can't rewatch till tomorrow.

I especially like, "Dean, they banned ninety percent of your personality."

Gah. I'm middle of the road on most of the episode, but the arcy stuff rips my stomach out.

Goddamned bastard. I was paranoid about Lisa in the previouslies, and it didn't turn out well.

The "whore" stuff--on another show, maybe it would have gone down easier, but SPN has its rep. Every time the term was used without "of Babylon" it kinda stood out.

As for the rest, though? The ramifications? The arc stuff? OMFG. Don't do me that way. Dean! I knew you were going to say yes, I did. I just didn't know you knew. Not this soon. It's sweet that you're making provisions for the people you care about...would you have driven to Cassie too?

Good eye, Sam, for having called it. Shame you couldn't do anything about it.

Oh, the Sastiel fic there's room for now. Drunken Cas wasn't played for the slapstick it could have been, and I'm glad. I like the bitter humour take better.

Yeah, it did.

Plus, what did he whisper to her? Kripke, your whispered revelations are unfair, dude. ARGH.

Ha ha ha, I know, I was like, "AGAIN with the whispering???"

On second watch my favorite line: " it's funnier in enochian."

I liked that one. And the voicemail. Oh, Castiel and cell phones.

I poked my nose in at TWOP and so far there's complaining at Sam for being selfish in his pitch at Dean, but really, I think Dean needs to be (still) reassured about how Sam, specifically, feels about him, so I don't get why him framing it personally.

I think my favourite line, also from Cas is "Sam, of course, is an abomination." Thing is, they're all God's servants. Dude. Joshua just told you God's singled you out. Were you not listening?

Wow. Checking LJ, a lot of people are pissed about Lisa.

I don't get it. Dean's fetishising white picket fences, and this one brush with this kid that he thought for a second was his was the closest he ever came to it. What's the big deal about that? Who else was he supposed to go to, other than dumped-his-ass-twice-and-can't-act-for-shit-Cassie? He already displayed in Dream A Little Dream that she's his happy ending lady. It's not a big deal if he wants to save some women he slept with. It doesn't mean he's condemning Sam to die or anything.

I don't get people.

eta:

Completely tangentially, I don't get people. Check the hot risers in 2010 baby names.

Tenley? That's a name? Atreyu, really?

He already displayed in Dream A Little Dream that she's his happy ending lady.

Exactly.

It doesn't mean he's condemning Sam to die or anything.

He never said Lisa and Ben would be the only people taken care of.

Part of me wonders if the show writers aren't deliberately messing with fans with the whore-Madonna stuff (whore of Babylon & Lisa). It was so heavy-handed even for Supernatural. Who wrote this ep?

Loved the "shotgun" wedding and Cas' v/m.

JA killed me with Lisa.

Who wrote this ep?

Julie Siege.

I get people being disappointed or not agreeing that Lisa is "the one" for Dean. But I don't get being pissed. I don't get that on any level. Lisa is a doppleganger for the fantasy girl Carmen in WIAWSNB. Dean's type has evidently been based on her. He specifically says that she and Ben are his happy place. If that is the case, then why wouldn't he want to make sure they were safe? There was no betrayal of anyone. My perfect woman for Dean up to this point was still fantasy Carmen, but the hope that Carmen is based on someone real and that she contributes to Dean's happy place--makes me love that person.

The only thing that I am hoping is that Lisa does not die. Please be the one woman that a Winchester can love that doesn't die.

I LOVE YOU GUYS. The first time through, I didn't even notice the whisper. I thought Dean was just holding his face next to hers longer in their embrace. When I looked for it though, I saw him say something. It looked to me like, "I know you lied and Ben is mine." ::runs away::

I just think your lead up needs more than a one-off ref 2 years ago and some previouslies.
