Your review is great. I feel the same way - much love to this episode.
The actor who played Kubrick had a semi-major role on the first season of "24". He was the person who was holding Jack Bauer's wife and daughter hostage. Maybe that's where you remember him from?
The squee has reached heretofore unachieved levels!!
I have to watch it again. And again. And again! To pick up all the little details I missed. Last night my poor brain kept thinking, "So much NEW to take in! Overloading on the NEW!"
I'm a lifelong Batman freak. The "I'm Batman" (using Michael Keaton's intonation) made me squee my face off. And the Rolex! And...gah, just TOO much funny. I am in funny overload. Bob Singer, you ROCK.
And brave you, for squeeing in the TWoP thread. I can't even go there. Those people want SPN to be something from PBS/HBO/Merchant Ivory. And It's. Just. NOT. They make me want to bitchslap them for their refusal to even squint at reality.
I went in the TWoP thread and blurred past any post that started out negatively, and still wanted to shout at people. I went there because I know through second hand reports there's a preponderance of negative posters in the episode threads lately and I wanted to make sure there was a significant quantity of audible appreciation.
And seriously, I don't have a clue what show half those people are watching, because it's not the show I saw.
Reiterating Fic Writer, I think I've sworn off the episode threads from TwoP. I just want to feel the love and you SO brought it! And I agree!
I am one of the ones wondering why the religious guy had to be a freak but I can deal too. I want a guy like the priest from Houses of the Holy again, the one that did the blessing, not the murderer guy of course. LOL
And Bella, I liked her alright, she wins points for having a cat that I want to go and steal.
And all the comedic moments, Sam regressing to 5 year old status was just adorable overload. My Lord, could he be any cuter?
And Dean's reactions to him. I finally really FEEL the brother-love again. Yays! \o/
I want to icon stuff like crazy but I have crap to do all day and I know someothers will be kicking ass in that department. Can't wait to see what they come up with. :)

I can handle him because I think they did a good job of making it clear this guy is off his rails, and not meant to be a generalization in any way.

OMG that cat! Perfect evil morally grey henchcat. I'm totally fighting off a cracky little plot-bunny because I'm on deadline already.
My Lord, could he be any cuter?
Hee! I love Jared for taking the "I lost my shoe" line the way he did, because seriously, I'd be reverting to five-year-old too if every single thing I did messed up. That was just a fed up, had it, no point in getting angry because it's not going to do any good, abject misery. That was awesome. *pats Sam*
And Dean's reactions to him. I finally really FEEL the brother-love again. Yays! \o/They were very truly brothers in this episode and it was awesome! And then Dean going suddenly dead serious in the graveyard after she shot Sam! And
( ... )
Yay for Sam'n'Dean! They were very brothery, and it was awesome! I want to see the behind the scenes clip for lighting Jared on fire now. I'm thinking that we might get a 'bee story' level anecdote from Jared at some point about how that particular scene came about.
Arg! I want to watch it again now but I have to go do annoying responsible things! Arg!
This was really fun and I think I am going to enjoy going back through it and getting more of the detail on my next viewing. And I loved John’s storage shed. Just... **loves** Also, sooooo much love for Dean’s “Batman” line (I LOVE MICHAEL KEATON!!!) and I could swear he was doing Dennis Leary from “The Ref” when he was doing his “You’re a thief, not a killer” spiel(s) (WHICH IS ANOTHER OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE TO REWATCH NOW!!!). But erm, seriously… I don’t think I have enjoyed Sam that much since Hell House and the Prank Wars and his reaction to the air conditioner thing had me cackling like a mad person. Really nice brotherly stuff and in that end, that is really all I need. ;-)
And re: TWoP - I, um, kinda like reading all the widely diverse opinions. Even the ones I pretty vehemently disagree with. **runs and hides in case of evil glares** ;-D
Hee! Yeah, poor Sam, Jared was really working the 'Oh my god, can I not get a freaking break here???' faces last night.
Hee! My cellphone just went off (I'm at the library *facepalm*) and the girl next to me said 'Back in Black' was an awesome ringtone. I'm now dithering about asking whether she watches the series...
Re:TWoP, nobody's gonna glare evilly at you here, no worries. I don't mind the differing opinions, it's just when people are inflexible about considering other viewpoint in favor of running the show down for not being what it isn't that bugs me, I guess? About halfway through last year I figured out that if I didn't codify my reaction to an episode before poking my head into the episode thread, I would end up not liking the episode as much as I initially did on viewing. But I'm a pessimistic person by nature, so I'm easily swayed to the dark side by repeated negative viewpoints. I dunno, I guess. *shrug* :-)
Re: Ringtone - BWAH!! That's great, you should totally ask. ;-D
Re: TWoP - Oh, I hear ya on the inflexible repeating (and repeating, and repeating...) and that's why there are certain posts I will only skim, if that. But I, ah... tend to be kinda, um... opinionated? :-D So they don't sway me if it's not something I already felt and I can just shake my head and wonder what the hell show they are watching.
I need to perfect my armor of impenetrable squee before heading in there. *nods*
I also am a crazy, crazy spoilerphobe to the point that not only am I not watching the 'coming next week' or any commercials, or titles, or schedule listings, or anything, I may start not watching the previouslies. (two minute warning on Library puter, arg) So for me going into any thread at TWoP is like braving a mine field. :-D

Ohhh! That guy! Okay, yeah, that was probably it. He does good psycho.
