I think it varies from person to person. In Madison I was surprised that my tolerance hadn't gone down much despite several years of almost no alcohol (didn't manage more than a buzz despite our 11th hour scramble to drink our way up to the open bar minimum).

I watched After School Special today and I realized it was more of a Sam centric episode and showing where the idea for leaving hunting came from but to me it felt like there should have been a bit more of Dean in the episode.

Or maybe it was supposed to be subtle, but I kept thinking -- Dean pay attention! But I was really tired when I watched it so maybe there was some clue that he was paying attention. I was also thinking about my own experiences in middle school when I was cruel to a few other kids because it felt good (in a bad way) not to be the victim and to be putting that pain on someone else.

Oh my gosh. I saw three preview pics on facebook that weren't anything other than what we've seen in the previews. Yet just the idea of it being so close to the finale, turns my stomach. I may need some Tums or Zantac to get me through the next couple weeks.

Numb. Can't think about it, Theresa. I'm willfully numb.

I think Afterschool Special sort of brought back middle school memories for most people, askye, one way or the other. Maybe both.

Should upcoming episode names be white fonted? I just discovered the name of the next episode and I'll just say it is the same as a favorite Iron Maiden song. Though it is doubtful they will use the song in the show, right? If they did, it would make me as happy as I was when Leverage had Eliot on a baseball team.

If it was affordable and fit, they might, Suzi. They've used Stones and AC/DC. I know Kripke said Zeppelin was too expensive, though.

I took a look at the lyrics and I can't see them playing some of it, but some could fit. We will see. I'd be happy to hear a bit of it on a jukebox in the background.

Should upcoming episode names be white fonted?

I believe the answer is yes. It's not something that aired.

This Show especially likes to be clever titling things. I hide my eyes to make sure I don't see the titles on my tv until I've seen the ep itself. I've been way burned knowing exactly what eps are going to be by titles.

And now I've seen Dean torture Alistair. I liked this actor, he did the demon really well, wasn't so thrilled with the one from the death is kidnapped episode.

Pamela dies, well I knew that since she was in heaven. Oh and Uriel is an evil angel, killing others to rise Lucifer just great. I was disappointed. Not in the story line I think that's interesting but with the fact that a character who turns bad and gets killed is black. Not that many people live long healthy lives in the Supernatural universe but still.

The biggest thing is-- Sam is DRINKING Ruby's blood!!! That is not good and Dean is going to be PISSED. I'm not sure how Sam can even justify that to himself. Okay Dean died, sacrificed himself for Sam and he has to deal with that. But there's Bobby. He could have turned to Bobby and Ruby. I know he's got issues, he's got demon blood and he's been picked to lead the bad guys but drinking demon blood doesn't really put him in the good guy cateogry.

Of course angels wanting torture doesn't seem in the good guy category either, but as we saw Uriel wasn't really a good angel.

Poor Dean, getting tortured some more.

Oh, Thursday's Child has one bit of offscreen RPF that's absolutely hysterical and slides in under my radar somehow. I can't really explain without giving that bit away. But it's in line with something I've been thinking for a couple weeks.

First, what an amazing story, thanks for linking, ita!

Are you referring to the owner of the beach house? All asides to that person and the other things and people surrounding them were side-splitting.
