These are the only not-spoilery things I'm going to say, and they have nothing with the episode:
1. For most of the time I've been conscious today, I've wanted to listen to "What's My Age Again?" on loop. I don't know why, but I'm doing it now.
2. Dear douchebag on Pix11 news giving an up-his-ass opinion piece about Halloween: IT IS NOT YOUR FUCKING PLACE TO TELL WOMEN THAT THEIR HALLOWEEN COSTUMES ARE INAPPROPRIATE. If they want to dress up as a sexy nurse, then that's your prerogative, and we are not a symbol of what's wrong with America, why Halloween is "unsafe" or "non-traditional," or any of your crap. Get a life, dick.
Okay, Supernatural, the "spunk in the clam chowder" was disgusting when Tyler Durden did it. We didn't need it to happen again.
No, Sam. The correct answer is that FBI agents are interested in suicides because a sudden spike that's out of the seasonal batting agents is suspicious and there might be foul play afoot. You can mention serial killers, for fuck's sake, or just about anything and most people will believe you because you are purporting to be an FBI agent.
…Sam, why with the douchiness? It makes my heart hurt.
…okay, apparently, I am not as over my dental horror squick as I thought.
Awwww, Cas wants to help Dean with Saaaaaaaam.
And the coroner comes off like a total necrophiliac. Like, I know he's not, but h seems like one.
Oooo, it's a verbal tic.
Oh, Dean, you horndog. You and Cas clearly need to have a chat about the lack of boobs in your life.
Bobby gets pedicures and watches Tori and Dean. Dean is his favorite, he thinks Sam is a better hunter (lately, anyway), and his first girlfriend turned out to be a… well, we don't get that part, but I'm going to guess that it involves a demon, The Kinks' song "Lola," or both. …I like both.
Lisa: "Ben won't even talk about it." "You shoved my kid, Dean. How about we do this now?" "You two have the most tangled up, crazy thing I've ever seen, and as long as he's in your life then you are ever going to be happy."
…you know, considering how little Dean gets romantically dumped and how often his family and his life dump on him… I can't imagine how much it actually hurts for Lisa to dump him. Much less doing so over the fucking phone. I mean…
Sam's answers… holy fuck bishops, he can resist the truth powers, can't he?
"coming down from the mountain to speak truth to the masses" … is a really hot investigative reporter. …Oh, Jesus, the ass on that woman. I'd hit it into next summer.
I like that this pagan goddess doesn't get killed via wooden stake. It's new, it's different.
TIED UP BOYS.
"The tongue is the tastiest part. It's where the lies roll off."
Sam and Dean are the gold standard for lies. Good to know.
Dean really feels about Sam: "I don't know. As of yesterday, I wanted to kill him in his sleep. I thought he was a monster. Now I think… he's just acting like me. It's the gig - you're covered in blood until you're covered in your own blood. I told myself I wanted out, that I wanted a family. But what I'm good at is slicing throats. I'm not a father, I'm a killer and there's no changing that. I know that now."
Sam feels about reuniting with Dean: "Look, what we do is hard. But we watch out for each other and that's what's important." …you're a little liar. EVEN VERITAS KNOWS THAT SAM ISN'T HUMAN. …but apparently Sam didn't know that?
…okay, seriously, I want to write a paper about sexual stabbing in Supernatural. And not just because it's alliterative as fuck. Veritas and Ruby are the examples that first come to mind, but seriously. Stabbing is already subtextual because knives are long, hard phallic symbols… but, no, really. Supernatural takes that up to eleven. …No, it takes it past eleven. It takes it up to, like, fifty. It gets to the point where I could probably make a case that killing things, for Sam and Dean, is actually better than sex.
…nope, he knew. He let Dean get turned "because I knew you could handle it."
"Ever since I came back, I'm a better hunter than I've ever been. Nothing scares me anymore because I can't feel it. …I think I need help."
…Can Dean beat Sam up in every episode now? I mean… I don't really want Sam to suffer, but like… Dean is really hot when he's being violent with no background music to dress it up.
re: the previews for next week: OH MY GOD. …did the demon blood take Sam's soul away? …are we going to deal with the demon blood issue at all or is there something else going on here?
…more importantly: why do I want pain-play fic involving Cas's soul-reading powers SO BADLY?
