This has nothing to do with the actual plot of the episode: this is just the kind of plot that pushes ALL my squick/cringe buttons. I foresee myself hiding behind my hands a whole lot for the next hour.
Spoilers after the show, same deal as last week.
- Okay, even if I hadn't seen last week's teaser, I'm pretty sure I would have noticed Sam acting like a dorky teenager.
- So far, all I can say is, I totally understand why Garry wants a different body. Possibly a different life.
- Also, Dean. Good GOD! Have you not figured out that your brother is acting completely out of character? Something is up, dude. Réveille! (Yes, I yell at the TV in French)
- "Oh Garry, this is a very, very bad book." I think that might be the understatement of the century.
- Recoil's a bitch, isn't it Garry?
- Aww... Garry's bonding with Dean!
- Dean's finally twigging, although it was sweet to see him and "Sam" having a maybe-life-can-be-good moment.
- Oh, God. Stupid, STUPID children! NO SUMMONING DEMONS!
- Okay, I'm officially sold on this episode. It's going the opposite way as last week, where I was vastly psyched going in and it kind of turned "meh" on me halfway through. This is crack-turned-angsty, which is my favourite kind of SPN. Woo!
- Important Overarching Plot Point Reveal™! So there's officially a demonic bounty on Dean's head. Good to know! Ever notice how these big reveals come so often in the cracky episodes? I kind of love that.
- Aaaaaand Dean finally twigs. Good times.
- I'm kind of enjoying how gleeful Garry is about all this, but the Sam-being-Garry is making me CRINGE.
- A dangerous warlock named Garry! Hee!
- Trevor, you're a moron. And now you're dead.
- DEAN! Waterboarding? Really?
- Poor Sam. If he weren't stuck in Garry's body, those ropes would be a cinch. Of course, if he weren't in Gary's body, he wouldn't have this problem to begind with. Poor puppy. *g*
- Tag-team exorcism FTW! Thank goodness Garry is just an idiot teenager and not an actually bad guy. Also he knows his Latin. Go, Garry!
- Yes, Garry, Dean is SCARY. Be a good boy, and do what he says and stop practicing witchcraft, doofus!
- Sam, you're breaking my heart. I want you to start wanting the apple-pie life again, sweetie. You used to want it.
EXTRA SPOILERS FOR NEXT WEEK'S TEASER:
- Huh. So the Winchesters are never born. Umm, is this like "It's A Wonderful Life?" 'Cause Castiel isn't getting an extra set of wings, here, as far as I can tell. From whose POV are we going to see the Winchester-less world?
- Hey, Anna! Haven't seen you since you got zapped off to the NeverNever by your angelic brethren! How ya been? (I'm not sold on Anna, but I don't hate her, either. She's just sort of "meh" for now. Time will tell. I wonder if she's still hot for Dean.)
Okay, so, weirdly enough I enjoyed this better than last week's episode. I was expecting the opposite.
