Quelle surprise. I'm overcaffeinated and oversleepinated. Add that to Show squee, and I had a lot of time to kill, even after a second viewing. This was the result. I am genuinely curious about reaction to so much of this episode, so please pimp far and wide. This is a rare unlocked post here for maximum reaction gathering. Also, feel free to

My favorite favorite favorite part was hands down Dean slapping the diner demon and then throwing money at her. AMAZING. I can't even explain why that was so great except, damn. He knew exactly how insulting he was being by throwing money at her and the "For the pie" was such a lie it was even better, and by the time you've worked through that, you realize that he SLAPPED A WOMAN. which is A NO NO, and he knows that, but it really delineates the difference between Women and Demons to Dean in 2 minutes rather then 12 episodes about how demons are not people and women are nice and to be treated with Respect

I loved every second of the diner scene because it was a level of badassery we have not yet seen Dean reach, but this is New! Improved! Back-from-Hell! formula Dean, and every bit of me loved that--especially after the reveal, when we know he is a righteous sonofabitch. But, immediately after the scene, I facepalmed like a mofo thinking of how fandom would react. At no point did I think "woman"--except for as long as I was supposed to, while she was their waitress, which was the point of writing that role as a woman, for the reveal--I thought "demon." But fandom's constant discussions of the treatment of women has oversensitized me. Frankly, I like that they're still putting the show and how they present it (because I don't think it's misogynistic) above what a segment of fandom thinks (not that I think those concerns by those people are absurd, I just see it differently).

I LOVE the angel thing! I am so excited for this season!

Also, answer the poll, bitch! ;)

There was something weird to me on how the show was filmed. I don't know what it was but something weird. I don't know if they were just trying to create awkwardness or what but it was weird.

But Holy cow I could watch this show on mute and be perfectly happy.. these boys are effin gorgeous. I mean good god.

The hug almost made me cry. The characters are great but Jensen and Jared are absolutely perfect and they really make me believe the brotherly love. Sam's face when he saw Dean was awesome.. just.. gah. Loved it.

Dean is an absolute badass. Serious. Then when Sam made the Demon die with his HAND?! Oh, I lost it. Both Winchesters are badass.

This lying business is going to be interesting.

The new Ruby... I'm not feeling her just yet.

As far as the whole Angel thing... I'll play along. I don't know if I like that twist but I'll stick around for the ride. They almost lost me last year so I am hoping that doesn't happen again this year.

I need a SN icon... lol

Yep, I think this was part of Kripke's roadmap all along. He seems to have things pretty planned out in that evil genius little head of his :)

what was your favorite/least favorite part?

Dean: "And you're not invited!"

Also, the scene where Sam used his powers was badass. And I LOVED the end with the angel.

I think Kripke knows exactly what he's doing, and has all along. But I don't see Sam as the "demon king". I never have. I think the YED told Sam he could lead the demons because he knew that truly Sam's powers could be used to defeat them all. So instead of killing Sam YED tried to get him on their side instead. In my mind his powers are a good thing.

HA HA! I crack myself up. I said the Ramones was a chick band. LOL
