I love squeeing! I love loving my show! :D

And yes! I love that comparison of Dean scrambling over the gate compared to his S1 leaping over high fences! He does comedy so well! :D

Yay for warm hearts after an ep! xx

Maybe his cute little Dad pants were a little, hmm, snug? I APPROVE, THOUGH. I AM NOT COMPLAINING.

[quickreaver]

I was so friggin' happy with this episode! (But you knew that. :D) STAY WITH US, DAVY PEREZ. I lurv youuuu...

[ash48]

Please stay!! (did I see he's writing 12.12? Which might be the mid season ender? I would be happy he was writing that. I figure they'll give it to the duo though...

[bittersweettwit]

I've read that 12x09 will be the mid season episode, which would fit with the general pattern of past seasons.

Also I doubt that it will be the mid season finale as according to interviews with Dabb 12x12 is meant to be

[Spoiler (click to open)]a highly Castiel centric episode, which delves into aspects of his past we have never seen before.

[ash48]

Ah, I wondered when that episode was going to air.

So ep 12.09 is the mid season finale? Funny how I think it's around ep 11 or 12 but looking back it is ep 9 or 10. Do we know who's written that one yet? Though perhaps I really don't want to know. The more I see what other writers do compared to The Duo the more I dread their episodes.

Thanks for the intel. :)

Agreeing to everything here. This was such an awesome, creepy episode! The Max Miller ep is one of my all-time favorites, so it was good to see it mirrored here.

I kept wondering why Beth thought Magda had died. In the Real World, everyone from social workers to police would be involved if a child died like that. I've worked in social service agencies and schools as well as the city and there's no way that could really happen. There'd be a body, a coroner's report, a BODY, a death certificate, A BODY, etc.

Am I missing something here?

[amberdreams]

I thought maybe Magda had 'died' before they moved to their wilderness retreat? So the local social services only had the back story from the parents. Maybe - I'll have to watch again.

[ash48]

I wondered the same actually. I can go with QRs answer below though - perhaps the case was picked up after her "death". Though how they'd fake a death certificate I'm not sure...

[amberdreams]

Yup yup yup - I loved that they finally looked at some of the past in the way we fans have been doing for years, that they addressed some old storylines and recognised that they still matter - it annoys me when these kind of things are ignored because it's sloppy writing. I loved all the digs at religion, because dammit, of course the Winchesters would be utterly cynical by now, knowing God and the devil personally as they do.

And the shallow fan girl in me was squealing at the Priest disguises and all the broments, serious and funny.

[amypond45]

Yay Priest Winchesters! The aliases made me laugh out loud, although I may be getting reference wrong: was it Penn and Deniro who pretended to be priests in "We're Not Angels"? Even if not, it makes me laugh!

[ash48]

*NODS* So thrilled when their past is brought up - and Sam's powers were such a big one.

I love them being cynical about religion too. It makes so much sense that they would be.

Hope we get a few more like this one this season. :)

I'm still smiling at how much I loved this ep. You squeeing is just icing on this wonderful cake. Davy Perez is to be praised for his research--and then writing to canon!

So much to love, most of which you touched on.

I think it was the old man sweater that impaired Dean's gate-climbing skills. I'm sticking with that theory, anyway.

Yup - and those very snug pants...;D

I'm still in my SPN happy place today.
