I like this little inside joke - no one knows what music Sam actually likes. He's never said.
"Visions" by Jason Manns was on his iPod in Lazarus Rising, and he likes whatever the Goo Goo Dolls song was that was playing in Girl Next Door. So basically rock music that's not cock rock?
I think this is the first time Sam has mentioned Madison since that all happened
Another cool review. I'm wondering if the Marc in Dean's phone is the Marc Campbell that got killed by the shifter alpha in 6.02. Maybe the spelling would be different though.
After 7.03, people have been talking about how Dean let Lenore go as though she were the only one. They let Lucky go even though he's killed people. I can't remember why he's the exception to what seems like a pretty big rule Dean lives by. Maybe its clear on the rewatch.
Oh yeah, I forgot about Marc. It's not like they ever told us how Marc Campbell spelled his name.
Also, OH YEAH - I completely forgot about how this doesn't make that much sense with 7.03, or for that matter, anything else. They've always killed things that killed people. I'm sure they would have killed Lenore too, if she had killed people.
I guess Dean was feeling more sympathetic in S6? Or maybe they just couldn't track a stray dog and they gave up? It IS an anomaly.
My biggest problem with this episode is that they let Lucky go. He killed at least two people (or was it three?) and he just walks away to look for a new family. (presumably to start ruining their lives by killing people around them.) Just because he's a dog part of the time?
(He was a beautiful dog though. I remember wondering at the time why all these scuzzy looking men turned into beautiful dogs. It didn't seem reasonable.)
So...Dean let Lucky go, because he felt sympathetic. But there are a lot of parallels between Amy this season and Lucky back then, and it does throw off Dean's actions in killing Amy. I guess at this point they hadn't seen that good vamp Lenore killed again, but it seemed like Lucky didn't feel as remorseful about his actions as Lenore did anyway. I had no doubt that he'd find a new family and kill to keep them. Sam should have shot him, even if he did it against Dean's wishes. (And I think soulless!Sam would have.) Don't the writers remember their own show?
You, as well as galwithglasses above are correct. It IS an anomaly that they let Lucky go in this episode - they should have killed him. My only guess is that either Dean was feeling OOC-sentimental, or they couldn't track a stray dog and eventually gave up.
But yeah, he DID kill 3 people, now that you mention it....that puts him in line for even a Soul!Sam killing, let alone a Soulless!Sam one. And Dean should be wanting to kill him too.
So, yeah, although I do think that after the events of S6, Dean is in a worse emotional place and is less merciful, he still shouldn't have been THIS merciful here. Another bad mark on the episode, I guess.
This is my big problem with this episode, especially after 7.03. Lucky killed 3 people and the threats to his family weren't deadly. Yet Dean just lets him go. Plus I found Lucky incredibly creepy. He watches the mother shower and walk around in her underwear (or less, only the dog is around after all), sleeps with her at night all without her knowing that he is human. AND this is all done after LFOTH where Dean is very specific that the vampire watching the sleeping girl is kind of rapey. What Lucky does is even more rapey and yet Dean and we are supposed to view him with sympathy. I did feel for Amy. I understand the idea that the last years have burned away any sympathy Dean has ever felt for monsters, but Lucky was an imminent threat to other families and should have been put down.
Yup. I agree. I don't even have anything to add. I think you are spot on there. He's a creepy dude, and they just let him wander away. I mean, yeah, there are mirrors between him and Dean, but Dean isn't a rapey creep who savagely kills people just because they're bastards.

Still, Jason Manns and Goo Goo Dolls do not really tell us much.
And Sam's mention of Madison in It's a Terrible Life doesn't count, because he didn't know at the time that she was a dead werewolf.
