Dear Garth:

Dude, you stepped up. You're treading the fine line between comic relief and competence and you're doing it brilliantly. You are justified in wearing one of Bobby's hats -- even if it's too big and you look kind of dorky. Also, best origin story EVER.

Dear Sam:

Dean spent a year in purgatory. Purgatory. Where monsters go after they die. Where monsters the Winchesters have killed go after they die. Not to mention all the other monsters all the other hunters since the begining of time have killed. Monsters. Benny got your brother out. You should at the very least be willing to cut him a break for that. I'm assuming you're feeling guilty because YOUR BROTHER WAS IN PURGATORY, you turned off your phone and you were playing heal my broken heart with an equally broken vet. Or feeling jealous because it turned out Dean didn't need you, he had Benny. Also, this is your last hunt, remember? You lock all the demons away and you're done. So to say you might be the hunter who puts Benny down is disengenuous at best, bordering on pouty.

Seriously Sam, stop pouting.

Dear Dean:

Kind of too bad you didn't remember what you said because saying it all again when you aren't possessed might be a good idea. Am thrilled to see you moving through your grieving for Bobby and finding your way out the other side. Also, am loving how purgatory honed your fighting skills.

Dear Amelia:

Yes, the packaging is very, very nice. However, and to put this in terms a vet might get, that boy is crazier than a sack of weasels. You will not heal each other. Sam Winchester is so far from being ready for healing, he and healing are on different continents. The sex can not possibly be good enough to make up for the steaming pile of OMFG you're likely to land in.

Dear PTB:

I'm aware this is going to sound like I'm picking nits and, in a way I am, but if it doesn't get said then it doesn't get discussed and if it doesn't get discussed it doesn't get changed. Ready? Okay... The woman who killed, killed because of a man. Not because her business failed. Or because she was tired of doing someone else's work. Or because she was really safe on second. But because her boyfriend had taken another woman to prom. Yes, they're all petty reasons -- well, not so much the failed business but the rest -- except her petty reason was the only petty reason that was gender specific. A woman's problems are all concerned with her relationship to a man. Yes, I know, you're not generalizing -- this specific woman's problem concerns her relationship to a man, you're not saying all of them do. Except that's all you showed. Three male examples, none having to do with a woman. One female example, tied to a man. See the problem?

Still, huge bonus points for not sexualizing death. Violent death, not so sexy.
