What a great episode. Apparently there is more contention about it than I would have thought. Another reviewer was all upset that Sam was bored and fidgeting, because Dean is the one who gets bored. Then they went off on using Christo, saying that they are trying to recapture the early days without realizing that Kripke never used it again for REASONS so this is obviously BAD WRITING. We have a weird fandom. I loved Christo coming back! I don't understand why Cas didn't use it in a bar full of demons, since his once superb ability to see a demon's true face has gone on the fritz, but I'm glad Jack used. it ( ... )

Did they say what reasons?

Oh of course not. It was more a didn't these writers realize that back in the day the good writers came up with a plan than meant that using Christo was bad and how dare these writers not abide by the unstated rule. I just rolled my eye and went back to being tickled pink that someone actually remembered and used Christo.

Uh huh. OK.

Personally, I reckon the reason the writers have remembered it now is because they read Caranfindel's polls :)

This was very much a Richard Speight Jr. episode, flashy but not too over the top. It also felt very Buffy-ish to me. Or maybe that was just the flymonster. Anyway, I liked it a lot ( ... )

Yes, you’re right about them being separated but not for mundane reasons. And I’m dying for that scene with the three of them giving Jack The Talk. Directed by Richard Speight, preferably.

I suppose we did get a brother phone call, and they were kind of working together even when apart, which was awesome. I loved the Jack and Dean Team, and this Charlie is much less a Felicia Day character than the previous Charlie was, so that does make her a bit more believable. i definitely appreciated the reminders that these Apocaworld people are NOT the SPN world people. They've had different lives to get to this point, and *should* be different.

Although their lives were similar enough for Charlie to end up with the same fake name...

Ha! True - I'd forgotten she wasn't actually called Charlie Bradbury. Heh.
