Hellllllllllllooooooooo

So, usual rules apply - let's just get right to it.

Oh, first - quick note: those of you who like my rewatches - I won't be doing one this weekend, because my mother is visiting. So, week off!

Now back to S12...

I loved this episode, and maybe that had something to do with being starved of a MOTW episode with real brotherly moments, but maybe not; it was a solid episode, with like you say actual suspense and tension, and it was kinda scary! LOVE IT, and I WANT MORE!!!

That waitress did look like Jo (and I didn't see it before, but I see it now!) I was a bit bemused about the not killing the Winchesters thing too, but I guess BMOL are all about their intel, so I can sort of understand it.

I think the photo is going to blow this whole thing up because either Dean will notice or Mary will find it. Also, I was so much more creeped out by Ketch here than before; the whole blank stare at the photo was kinda disturbing, like this is becoming more of an obsession sort of thing, which I think would be a nice twist maybe.

I loved the table thing, but man, I feel like this doesn't bode well for the bunker...

Thank you for sharing :)

Yeah, I've seen both reactions to the table-thing. Some people think that it's a mark of permanency, others think that they're setting us up for devastation.

I definitely think the photo will come into play later.

And yeah, Ketch's love/obsession with Mary is eventually going to come into play too - whether that's to the Winchester's benefit or not is another story. One the one hand, he may be reluctant to kill them - on the other hand, you don't want someone that obsessive/creepy interested in you AT ALL. Mary definitely didn't make the wises choice there when she slept with him, but I think he probably was already creepily obsessed, so it was probably just the nail in the coffin.

You have a Supernatural email group? I love that

Well, it's more like a friend of mine has an email group, and I'm just on it. :P

Oh man, I hope the bunker doesn't burn to the ground. I love the architecture.

Personally, I think they just needed to pad the episode out a little more - hence Dean's hook-up and the jokes that come out of it. Like... not much else happens? But, I think that to answer your question - the writers make it pretty clear that Dean and Sam have vastly different personalities when it comes to getting-some... so I think if there IS a writer's conversation it's more a long the lines of "how long has it been since Dean's hooked up? Unless it's a plot point that he's not interested (MoC), we should have him hook up with someone." :P

And yes, that's how Sam girls usually feel.

I definitely think they could have framed that fight better. You can be competent in a fight and still be grateful for your little brother coming to the rescue - you don't have to appear out of your depth the whole time. I mean, meat-hooks are a pretty good weapon.
