Supernatural 3.09 In which I am dazed and confused

[odd_for_sods]

So I've gotten a little carried away here.  This episode, not only comes after an unreasonably long break, but it contains elements that have my brain doing back flips, so to speak.  Sorry folks I don't have much in the way of answers for you, just ten billion more questions.

Dude. You summed up EVERYTHING I wanted to say about the episode and what exactly it was trying to say.

I am under that impression it was just a mess and Ben Edlund is a bit of a moron (other than with humour)

What's especially revolting about witches?

Cherries... Witches of Eastwick

When Ben's on form he's brilliant but when he isn't ... oh my!

Not to mention the seriously lame soundtrack. . . no, I'm not going to get started aside from saying I love Screamin'Jay Hawkins but in context? Oh, get out a mallet and hit me over the head, why don't you

I love Screamin'Jay Hawkins but in context?

Yeah, that really was a huge miss. Mainly because it just didn't fit the tone of the piece as a whole. Way to blatant. Luckily, this show's usual 'soundtrack' really isn't my thing, so it's always a bonus when I like the music and I don't miss is when it's absent.

I'm so glad you shared the lyrics. Wow, that would have been killer at the end of the episode. You're right! That's all about Dean isn't it? Damn.

I think they're really going to let him go to hell.

I know I'm going to be tarred and feathered - but Kripke has to let him if he's staying true to the Hero's Journey. In most Hero myths there is a journey to the Underworld.

Me? I'd have had the radio at the beginning of the maggot scene playing Santana "Evil Ways": "You've been lyin' and hidin'and foolin' around. You got me runnin' and lookin' all over town this can't go on. . ." and then segue into Cliff Richard "Devil Woman": "Black cat with evil eyes - ya better get outa there fast! She's just a Devil Woman with evil on her mind, Beware the Devil Woman she's gonna getcha! She's just a Devil Woman with evil on her mind, Beware the Devil Woman she's gonna getch from behi-i-i-ind!"

Maybe just as blatant, but I like the songs better. :)
