2x09: Croatoan

• Aaahh, I love the magic of television. M&M's, cheese fries, burgers, gas station snacks, slim jims, and an endless stream of beer equals a man of Dean's physique. And don't forget that crystal clear skin, too!
• Damn, it's good to see you boys again. XD
• heehehee, I can just see the writers with this long list of euphemisms for "kill": ventilate, plug, smoke, waste, burn, end, finish, I know I'm forgetting at least 5 more somewhere...
• Awww Sammeee, he is such an angel for putting up with Dean's cocky ass. Dean is like all macho posturing and Sammy still sticks to his guns in trying to reason with him. I'm gonna chalk this up as one point for why Sam's like Scully - they both have the patience of saints.
• Lennertz, come on, man! What the hell is this indie mood soundtrack? I wasn't going to say anything because I realize I care waaaay more than what is necessary about the music on the show, but then my sister came out and said, "What's this shit, the O.C.?" THANK YOU, Angela darling. You know what really rocked? That echo-ey "Turn to Stone" Joe Walsh guitar riff they used in the season 1 finale - it was perfection, both moody and still classic rocky. I wouldn't mind if that turned that riff into a regual spn theme, it sounds great. But I'm not done nitpicking - and then Lennertz swerves into this movie soundtrack vibe when S&D are trying to get phone signals, which wouldn't sound that bad if he didn't turn it up so loud that it's drowning out their conversation and being a complete distraction. Movie soundtracks are supposed to blend in, man.
• Sam is still adjusting to his new and improved Godzilla shoulders. If I hit a telephone pole, I'd be clutching my shoulder (don't let walking speed fool you, it can still hurt). And somewhere, there's sammy fangirls lusting over him posing with extended giant finger like that, lol.
• I'm adding whenever Dean kicks down a door, heehee. He's so good at it.
• Dean: "We'll get back to you on that." Authoritative!Dean is hot. I like that they're making him a more convincing cop this season.
• HAHAHA, the emptied, bloody car's license plate starts with 'WTF'. Please tell me that is not a coincidence! XD
• That double-barrel, sawed off shotgun is my favorite on Dean. I'd like to think it's his favorite, too, since he seems to use it a lot. And that he named it as well...what name, though? I wonder.
• AAand Dean picks up a bloody knife. I didn't think it was that bad, but my sister was SO grossed out, soo...shot?
• Has anyone ever noticed how red blood cells look an awful lot like Werther's Orginal caramel candies?
• The soundtrack at 14:39 - we bust out laughing at the same time. It was like, 1980s knight rider or cop show, yo, LOLOLOL.
• Dean: "You are a handsome devil, but sorry I don't swing that way." DAMN STRAIGHT. (pun intended, heh)
• Oooh Metallicar, you're hot and make hot purring noises. Ugh, that was wonderful. More action shots, please!
• Whoa, Dean whipped out that gun way fast! I'm surprised that guy didn't shoot him right there. But back to the fast whipping out - hot. And then the yelling, it brings out the male bass in the voice - also hot. Also, Dean's lips were more poutier and more defined than usual. I suspect the lighting people were told to zero in on Jensen's mouth, because I swear my experience was like a shaft of heavenly light falling from the sky onto his kisser, displaying them for all the world to see.
• Sam: "Open the damn door." Ooooo, angry!Sam!! That is hot, too. Sam is looking good this episode.
• Ooh, who would have thought that Dean not shooting the guy is just as satisfying as watching him psycho out? Love it. Jensen is so good! I think Krycek would have shot him, if not out of his own concerns, then probably out of some twisted philosophy, thinking the guy is better off dead than finding out his family is dead.
• Mulder: " We have communication like that, unspoken. You know what I’m thinking." And so does Sam and Dean, after the doctor asks them if it's okay to untie the guy. I love that Dean doesn't have to say anything for Sam to know what he's thinking! And I love that Jensen is SO good that with just a look we can tell what he's thinking is, "Your call, Sammy." Yes, Jenny is that good.
• You heard the doctor, dude, three hour incubation period! Let the poor guy help his brother up while he still can.
• You know when Dean hands over his car keys, it's really bad. Aw, can you feel the angsty love, can YA FEEL IT?! *starts wibbling* And to think, Dean doesn't do any "take care of my baby" or "send a message to so and so", no parting business at all. Nothing matters besides Sam, not even the impala, in the end. As much as Dean is attatched to the Impala, I think he sometimes feels haunted and weighed down by all the history and memories that come with it, a lot of stuff I'm sure he'd rather forget.
• ohhh, Sam's tearing up puppy face. *sobs* God. And then the 'Go home, Lassie, go home!' banter. But Dean won't leave, because HE LOVES SAMMY TOO MUCH. *is sobbing on the inside* Not to mention it's like a horrible Shakespearean romance-tragedy; he can't live without Sam, so he chooses to kill himself, too. It's the same sentiment from the pilot, he doesn't want to do it alone. Oh, Dean!!
• That's perfect, that could explain why Dean should act crazy, cold, & unhinged - when you're dead tired, you don't want to put up with crap anymore. A person stops caring. This could be the beginning of a jaded and apathetic Dean Winchester, only doing the hunts because he has nothing else.
• Uuuugh, that throat bleeding is more graphic than I'd like.
• Havin' a beer next to the lake, birds singing. It's so gorgeous outside! They really need to have more beautiful moments like this.
• YES GO TO THE GRAND CANYON DEAN. I'VE ONLY BEEN DYING FOR THAT GEOGRAPHY ALL SUMMER. Am I the only one who feels so sad at the thought of Dean wanting to go out and see things? Sad, because even his simple desires like that haven't been realized? :(
• I like the idea of him banging Lindsay Lohan. They're both on the same level of sleaze, they'd suit each other for a one-night stand. But omg, notice he said "we"?!?!!!? I think S&D have done a girl together?! OMG. *fans self*
• Sam: "You're my brother. Whatever weight you're carrying, let me help you." Cue the song, "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother". *blows nose and sobs some more* I'm gonna go listen to that song and cry, lol.
• AAAHH, Sam makes the most killer puppy faces everrr!

This episode immediately gets two enthusiastic thumbs up because when I thought I was halfway through it, there was only about six minutes left. It went by so FAST! So Dean promised not to tell Sam, but I guess he's going to tell him anyways in the next episode. Way to break up a two-parter, now I have to wait some more. WAITING SUCKS. But yes, I loved this installment, and I am not dissappointed. It is my favorite ep this season so far. On 2nd thought, no it's not, because the music went AWOL. Simon Said still is.

ETA: one complaint, though. They pretty much name-dropped Roanoke, here. Yeah, I thought it was a decent theory, Roanoke = demonic plague, but still, times like this, we want more than a quickie explanation. We want it longer and harder.

ETA2: They already played Rush's "Working Man" on the show, right? Well, they need to play it again!!! This song is awesome and in light of recent developments, play it again. lyrics. But not even the lyrics. The song is hard rock sex on frets. Finally, KRIPKE&CO. is officially on probation for NOT HAVING ANY ROCK MUSIC AT ALL in this episode. This is a warning, next time, I'm writing them up. I'm very dissappointed in them for that.

ETA3: So John Shiban wrote this episode, which is shocking, because I hated his scripts on the x-files. You've come a long way, baby, congratulations. *toasts*
