I don't think so. I thought that path was nicely laid as well, since when I saw that painting I assumed it was the Girl and the son she wanted to kidnap.
that brother looked and sounded years older than the sister), it would’ve explained why the “ghost” appeared to move so quickly from inside to outside the house
Very good point! I also thought they seemed different in age but I had assumed that there was more than one pregnancy, although I guess there was no reason to think so.
Why was it chopped up and tacked onto the end of two episodes that were loosely made relevant when it had the potential to be so much more?
I have an unpleasant answer for that which also harkens back to other brother bonding moments in those last few minutes of show, such as in Fresh Blood and Wishful Thinking. They don't care if viewers tune out by that time and don't watch it, because it's too late to be measured as a ratings drop-off, and at the same time the fans who most want to see those scenes will always watch until the last moment. Also, of course, they make for good cliffhangers whereas an unsolved case will not.
Dean did kill the brother, but because that was a character who was onscreen for about 3 seconds, that we didn't have any relationship with, it seems like rather a cheap cop out with lesser consequence to me.
I suspect that's exactly why they didn't use the twin girls idea.

Hee! I loved the writers room discussion and how they came up with the plot! I can't see that group photo you posted very well, what is it?

I'm glad I wasn't the only one giving the TV a BHUZ face. According to the sides, the kids were originally fraternal albino twins. The albino part obviously didn't translate to the shoot so I don't know if we should assume the twin part did either or not. I suppose it's not important either way for the MotW story and there's no way to prove or disprove either scenario so I guess we just chalk it up to a detail only fandom would obsess over.
However, I did add a paragraph to this entry about why they cast an older male who was faceless and kept hidden for majority of the episode. And why he was shot by Dean and not the MotW with a face, the girl.

Yes, true. But it would be refreshing to have the brotherly moment be of a different nature once in a while. Dean making some statement about Hell while Sam looks on helpless and silent is growing tiresome.

Heh! Thanks. I'll attribute it to caffeine and a spare hour on the computer procrastinating.

That's a photo of JP on the F13 set flexing his brains out. You can see a bigger version with source credits here: http://bowtrunckle.livejournal.com/51583.html#cutid1
