I am SO annoyed with the writers about that. This episode could have ended a little more thoughtfully! Where's the trademark twist-on-the-twist that trademarked the early seasons? HOW COULD POST-BRAEDEN DEAN EVEN DO THIS??? All I could think the minute it happened was (well, first it was shock but then) REGRESSION REGRESSION REGRESSION.

ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION SHOW? YOU WRITE OFF CASTIEL AND THREE SEASONS OF DEAN DEVELOPMENT GO RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW. SUDDENLY DEAN CAN'T TRUST SAM, HE BREAKS UP FAMILIES, AND HE IS INCAPABLE OF COMPROMISE. HEY REMEMBER S5 AND HOW IT WAS ALL ABOUT COMPROMISE?! OR S6 BEING (SORT OF) ABOUT GROWTH? OR S4 BEING BRAVE ENOUGH TO QUESTION? THIS IS STUPID.

I can't even remember the last time I was this annoyed with Dean and show. This bothers me more than the Braeden mindwipe!

Jewel Staite. I love her from way back when on So Weird!

She was the Siren runaway on tour with Molly's old agent! And all the guys are enraptured by her singing, but she's not evil or seductively manipulative, she's just a girl who needs to escape and happens to have an extremely rare and profitable skill (and highly marketable lol). She's sort of being used by the music producer with her secret as blackmail. Remember the blond guy falls for her and they almost run away together? I just have this really visual memory her on a black stage with her funky instrument (a lyre I think?) wearing a blouse with roses on it, singing enchantingly while the lights glow brighter from her siren voice.

One of my secret fandom confessions is that I've never done Firefly, she just happens to be from one of the So Weirds that really stuck with me. That show was awesome and ahead of its time tbh

I REMEMBER THAT EPISODE OH MAN.

Ngl, I really really loved So Weird like oh so much, and it is sort of sad to me that so many SPN episodes I am like SO WEIRD DID THAT FIRST, AND BETTER.

Also I had such a massive crush on Fiona and her brother, what was it? Jack?

THIS DISTRESSES ME SO MUCH.

Also, he should have just killed the kid if he was killing Amy. Because a monster is a monster, right? GO THE FULL DISTANCE OR DON'T GO IT AT ALL, and on a practical level, okay, maybe the kid hasn't killed anyone yet, but why is that? BECAUSE HIS MOM COULD BRING HOME DEAD BODIES, OH RIGHT. Left alone, Jacob is not going to be able to access dead bodies from foster care/as a runaway, and he is also not going to give a shit because he will just think of humans as those things that KILLED MY MOM, OH RIGHT, so either he is going to start by eating his foster family or he is going to starve to death, NEITHER OF WHICH IS A VERY GOOD THING.

So...now instead of letting Amy Pond ~break the cycle~ with her son, Dean has just ensured that there is a brain-eating child running around out there with no supervision, no reason to care about humans, and OH RIGHT A GRUDGE AGAINST HUNTERS LIKE DEAN.

GREAT JOB EVERYONE.

right right right! in which instance I suppose i'm more upset with the showrunners than specifically with Dean (ah, the ever-present dichotomy of character/creator), because I think that Dean would have killed the baby monster. Or not, post-Braedens. But the point is, Show decided it couldn't go there. So they took him right up to that point but then wimped out, and it just makes Dean even more dickish.

ps IF THEY DON'T RETURN TO THIS ISSUE I WILL CUT SOMEONE. Sam needs to find out. The kid needs to return.

But none of this will happen.

UGH SERIOUSLY. Like, idek why they felt that this would be going too far...? LIKE THEY JUST KILLED HER OFF WTF WTF WTF.

Also, I just...DEAN WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR DEAL. (Idek if Dean would have killed him? Idk. Dean likes to pretend to be righteous while really fucking things up more, like with Lisa. HOW FAST DO YOU THINK DEMONS ARE GOING TO GET HER NOW SHE'S FORGOTTEN, DEAN?)

Uuuuuuugh.
