Going behind the cut...




Ironic, considering the episode, that it began for me at 8.58 when the phone rang. Hyped up, I hung up after a woman said 'Hi, I'm [name]' after snapping tersely, 'This is WAY too late for telesales.'

8.59, the phone rang again; it was L's soccer coach's wife.

Awkward.

I apologized profusely but I blew it totally there, oh, my, yes.

Anyway.

Episode! GOOD episode. After last week, so much better. It was a tad misleading to have all that expo at the start that didn't really relate to the episode; Lilith wasn't even in there so why...? Oh, never mind.

I scribbled down notes, so here they are, as I wrote them.

Sam - car!

What was with the hire car? Meep! Eep! The jarring banality of the beep as Sam used clicky to lock it! Nooooooo.

Platinum and porn

Oh, Dean. OH, DEAN :;shakes head::

John!

(I clearly go in for a lot of !!! when I scribble. The vodka and cokes might have something to do with it tonight.)

No face; heh, guess he really was phoning it in. Sorry. Couldn't resist. cheap shot. Ahem. It was good to hear him, even under the circumstances.

There's an scribble here about the girl's look and the necrophilia line; nice timing.

We're walking

Heheheheh. I loved the relentlessly chirpy tour guide from hell.

Sam didn't wake?

You know, you'd have thought the phone in the same room, given the circumstances, would've woken Sam. And that Dean would've let Sam talk to John.

OMG, creepy!

Shades of Dawn and Joyce in the mom/daughter interaction. This show does tend to homage Buffy a fair bit.

this ass is too sweet to let out of sight

Sing it, Dean. We hear you.

phone - cell phone!!

As a New Owner of A Cell Phone, I want to know why Dean hasn't clued onto the fact that one can Take It With You. Why is he staring at it on a table and letting Sam go off alone?

Is that Major Reynolds? Is it?

Connected but alone.

Ouch.

Liked the cuts in the side by side fight sequences; very effective.

Okay, that's all my notes. Loved the end scene, loved the angst and Dean's desperation and Sam's cool, cruel-seeming, but realistic take on it that pointed up that desperation, because Dean's the cynical one and he wasn't here.

Loved the symmetry of Sam's two inadequate responses: 'Hi' and 'Me, too' and how the first was useless and the second, for all Dean griped, was just perfect.

That's more like it.
