Oh, really? I was unaware of that. Hunh. Actually, I hadn't meant it as a 'where's Sam, is he even in this episode' a la "No Exit", just that I'd missed where Sam had gone while Dean was babysitting the mundanes. :-)
*Agrees* Dean does adapt and I think most people would be insane after what happened if they couldn't adapt. What's that syndrome where you empathise with your jailer? Could be that sort of thing too... Annnyway.
A bit too classic horror for me, but plenty of brother moments to keep me watching. :)
Stockholm Syndrome. Emphatise and identify. Yep. Textbook case, I'd say. Not only that but the "enjoying" could have actually been hysteria. Dean's not the most reliable narrator on himself, innit?
Oh absolutely!! Plus he's always tended to be negative about himself under his snark armour, so of course he's going to take whatever happened in the worst possible way and beat himself with it. Gaaaah, Deeeean!
Actually, I was thinking about this earlier in the week. One thing Dean does, is he adapts. Like the Production Assistant thing, like jail in Folsom Prison Blues. Dean adapts. After he gave in and got off the rack, he probably started adapting to Hell. It's not pretty, and it's not heroic and it's not a common thing to have one of the heroes of a story admitting stuff like this, but... I can accept it. From here, I can see how there could be some really juicy character and mytharc development in the wrks. It's part of a larger arc and character process, I am certain, and I trust Kripke and Jensen to pull this off. *nods*
I think you're completely spot-on with this.... he adapted and had no clue that he was ever getting out.

*nods* Exactly. I love that about Dean, that adaptability, and at the same time it's a big OWWWW! in that situation, because in order to give in and go there, he had to lose the hope that Sam or anyone would find a way to get him out, which is also the idea behind a fic I wrote this hiatus "Unstuck" so I'm dancing with a little 'yay, canon!' glee over that ;-) *nods again*
The mom was Supergirl in the original movie (Can't think of her name) and she guestied as Clark's Cryptonian mom on Smallville. I've totally seen the dad before and the son. Can't think of where.
OMG, I thought the same damn thing about "Andy"! You're so cool. :)
I can't believe you called Dean's speech at the end. And the brother sister thing. You're like a detective! :)
Oh yeah that line, "You smell that?" "Everyday.", also had me saddy sad. *pets Dean*

Ahhh, okay. *nods* That explains more of the 'Roadkill' feel.

You don't randomly and enigmatically drop the name 'Andy' into an SPN episode and have it be anyone else. That's just cruel. *pouts and misses Andy*

It feels a little weird typing up the notes after, because I'm like 'okay, people are going to think I went back and added this', but it's all from notes, just fleshed out. The scrawl for the brother sister thing was: 2ppl wall omg doll + bb = bro/sis. The singing and such was added, er, post production. XD

Gaaaah. I know and he's not being snarky there, and that's a major cue for 'something's
