SPN Ep: Man's Best Friend With Benefits

Boys, what am I going to do with you?

So, Sam has to ask himself why Dean doesn't trust him. Because apparently Sam stopped watching the show back in season 3. I don't even. ::throws up hands in frustration:: Then Dean pours out his heart about trusting Sam in such a way that it pretty much guarantees that Sam will die before he admits he's sick because he doesn't want to disappoint Dean. ::again with the hands:: These two, I swear.

What is it about St. Louis that leads to people being framed for murders they didn't commit? Last time it was Dean in "Skin." I wonder if that case is still open? I know there's no statute of limitations on murder, but Dean's been declared dead multiple times. I have to wonder what would happen if he got caught again in a city where he was wanted for something.

Was it just me, or did Christian Campbell (James Frampton) look like he could be Nicholas Lea's younger brother? I like how Show has started to visit people Sam and Dean have encountered in the past and show how encountering the supernatural has affected them. I'm still waiting for one of them to turn out to be a hunter (and I would die and go to fangirl heaven if that hunter was Sarah from "Provenance").

Haha, I absolutely agree with you. Christian Campbell looks exactly like a younger Nicholas Lea! That was my first thought when he came on screen and then I was squinting and looking harder and told myself it couldn't be Nicholas because he's way older *lol*

Yes. Exactly.

Them and their obsessive love that compels them to do stupid make a hell deal, spend the days after an endless tuesday going crazy with hunting, drink demon blood, release the devil by mistake while trying to get revenge for said hell deal, go cold and heartless in an alternate future where Sam is the devil, etc. things for each other.

You'd think these two would finally realize that failing to communicate (and honestly, at that) is at the root of pretty much all their problems.

Did this feel like a pilot for a spin-off to you? Because that's how it felt to me. A spin-off I would not watch, however. ;)

I was pretty bothered by the black-woman-as-animal thing, but I was at least pleased that they made the woman the dog and the man the cat - the vast majority of the time it is the other way around.

The lighting was really odd in this episode - I need to take another look at who the director was - his or her style was very different from the usual SPN style.

Actually it did, now that you mention it. Still, better that than the Lifetime movie-of-the-week that was "A Little Slice of Kevin." I did look that director up, and his previous experience was almost entirely directing TV movies. I was unsurprised.

Also, it's still more rare to see interracial couples on TV than it should be. They even got a sex scene.
