Misha said they are NOT going to have him doing that role in the press interviews they did last week, thank God. So one-off fan pandering way for Robbie to get him into the episode and a waste of one of his contracted episodes (oops lol)
I really enjoyed it for all of the reasons you mentioned, plus nerdy!Sam, lots of closeups of Dean, and a shout-out to one of my favorite JIB lines. A whole episode of "a day in the life" would have gotten boring, plus keeping it in Impala POV meant that scenes were still extended beyond what we would normally see (like Dean putting Cooler in the trunk).
I also like the idea that the car somehow assists the boys in their adventures and the fact that she managed to hold onto objects that helped Dean escape is kind of awesome.
Headcanon accepted.
I kind of figured Sam's visions were coming from Lucifer, as much as I don't want to see him come back. Why do you think they're not?
Yeah, I agree. And essentially the story needs to move along. I like that we got some of that at least.
Why do you think they're not?
It's more that I'm not sure why they would be? Would Sam's wall be failing again? Has the darkness or the infection meant that somehow Lucifer is contacting him from the cage? I'm just not clear how that would work (though, why I'm even thinking it has to "work" is beyond me). I'm wondering if it's something we don't know about yet maybe
Maybe Lucifer and Michael are working together to contact Sam and that's one of the unlikely alliances they've been promoting? It would make sense with the cage flashes and Lucifer is known as the Light-bringer, so who better to fight the darkness? Didn't he have the Mark of Cain at one point too?
No matter who it is, it's someone who can't fool Sam, since that was a line in this episode.
Hmm, I like the reasoning. And I suppose we don't have to really figure out how Lucifer and/or michael are contact Sam as they could make up any reason (maybe even that Sam was once infected and that opened up that ability).
No matter who it is, it's someone who can't fool Sam, since that was a line in this episode.
Which mostly sounds like Lucifer. How many times would he have worn Dean's face while he was in the cage. I shudder to think what kind of mind tricks Luci has played on Sam.
My fav part was Dean trying to get Sam to say werepires :)
We should have seen Sam putting his shirt on in the backseat too!
Loved the brother conversations, especially the one were Sam was in the backseat...
Matt Cohen was an amazingly kept secret!
One tiny quibble--Cas explained the ghoulpires were already dead and just needed to be prompted to move on by putting copper coins in their mouths, and that when that was done to the alpha the rest would be cured. But if they were already dead, how could they be cured back to life?
But hey, not gonna let that matter to how much I enjoyed this ep...Robbie Thompson clearly is a fangirl at heart!

Oh yes! Best. I loved all of that actually. I loved seeing that humour in Dean again.
But if they were already dead, how could they be cured back to life?
haha, oh man, I don't even think of all that stuff any more. though…I thought maybe they were under a spell rather than dead? That killing the Alpha meant they were released from that? I'll go with that, or something.
Bravo indeed! I've just watched it again and I think I loved it even more on second viewing.
In some ways I kept waiting for Dean to realise Baby had been taken on a joy ride
Oh yes! I was worried which direction the story was going. The I had the feeling these gals were like Thelma and Louise. I kind of like they got away with having a joy ride in the Impala. Lucky girls!
I'm thinking the darkness is here, but it's growing and needs time before it consumes the world?
Yeah. Maybe after being dormant for so long she needs to develop her strength. Or something. *shrugs* I'm sure we'll find out :) In the meantime I'm going to keep smiling thinking about all those lovely little moments we got in that episode. :)
You know what else makes me happy? Looking at those 50 votes for 5,
I know! I was just thinking the same thing. So lovely to see so many happy fans. :)
bet they wished they could have got JDM for that scene and how wonderful that would have been.
Fandom would have gone into an absolute spin! I bet they tried - but he seems to be pretty busy. And interesting that "I could never fool you" would be something John might say to Sam. Indeed it could be. I like there's a real mystery there. I suspect it's either Lucifer or Michael - but something we've not even considered would be awesome too.
Imagine them both getting out, instead of the apocalypse, they take Sam and Dean as vessels,It would be SO interesting if they revisited their original idea of Sam and Dean being their vessels. But maybe this time things have changed and somehow they all end up working together. So saving mankind from this darkness thing all together

Though I did lol at Misha's "phoning it in" tweet.
Icon perfection. :)

If you hear his voice, he has to get paid and credited for the episode.

Haha! It could have been! But yeah…I think it's about her growing up.
Roll on more epis like this indeed! :D
