All hope I had of starting a rewatch and keeping up with you is lost. :D

I have to say, though, that I don't think this ep is as bad as people make it out to be. I mean, it happened in the same season as Bugs; it ain't that bad. And while I think the writing for the Dean/Cassie scenes was pretty terrible, I like her, and I like that she's a more complicated personality than a lot of the pretty girls the boys end up kissing. Also I think Sam teasing Dean about her is the cutest. thing. ever.

Also, look, I even have an icon from it!

Ahaha, I used to think I was trailblazing! But I haven't done a chronological rewatch since 2010, so mentally it hadn't registered to me that there were more than five seasons of SPN. Then I realized that actually there are nine, and I was like aw shit. XP 13 DOWN, ONLY... 182 TO GO, BEFORE OCTOBER

Wait, what happened to your report on 1.12? 1.12 is in my top five all-time favorite SPN eps! Julie Benz. <3333

Dean does sound like a crazy person. Also Sam; see Amelia telling him he looks like a serial killer.

I have apparently turned into a full-time Sam girl at this point, so I can more than counterbalance any failures of Sam-empathy you might have. :D

You don't like Home? But Dean cries in Home! It's all moving and stuff! And then John reveals another layer of how he's a terrible person, which is always satisfying.

I, uh, skipped my reaction for 1x12, because it requires effort. XP But I'll go back to it.

Haha, for the moment I've been pushed into a stance of rather uncomfortable defensive zealotry--uh, thanks for that, fandom.

1x09 is one of those episodes where I should probably like it a lot more than I do, but I really, really don't. I didn't like it when I first saw it, and though my relationship to it has shifted here and there in the interim, I find I'm basically still where I was with this episode the fist time around! Even though Dean cries and it's moving and stuff and I really, really like Jenny and by extension Ritchie and Sari. It just doesn't work for me, except possibly at the level of I Really Love Jenny and also the level of Damn, Sam is Really Good at Drawing Trees from Dream!Memory. Though if Sam's tree-drawing abilities are my biggest take, I'm really pretty okay with that! Sounds good to me.

Your Home feelings are my Shadow feelings. Winchester reunion! Sam and Dean calling John "sir"! Maybe I will like it better this time?

I WILL ADMIT at least 80% of my focus for the whole of Shadow is Meg basically in Sam's lap while she's got them tied up and is threatening bodily harm. She may be wearing a terrible jacket but at least the lighting is good!
