“You mean like my husband’s guts fertilizing the back 40?” Ask a stupid question, feel lucky you get a great, smartass answer.
Dean joins Mary talking to the kid, who’s unwittingly made a deal with a demon. Then he drops the bomb on the eye color, yellow! Cut to one very upset Dean, who next scene carelessly pulls out John’s journal in his fit for revenge. “My dad could see the future.” Oh, great cover there. Hunters just love that psychic crap. Dean wants to get the “bedtime story” colt from Daniel Elkins, and I’m trying to figure out how Dean got from Eastern Kansas to the mountains of Colorado and back to Lawrence in a Pinto so quickly. My mother couldn’t get to the other end of town in one of those rust buckets. Climbing hills can’t be considered either, so Dean probably had to get out and push once he got to a mountain. But hey, at least the fuel economy was better.
Coming up in Part 2, the really mind blowing stuff.

Awesome review! LOL, I was wondering about the year on that Pinto. Kripke underestimated us again .... ;-)
Per the distance Dean drove to fetch the Colt, though, I looked on Mapquest, and if we presume Dan Elkins lived near Boulder, CO, it's about an 18 hour round trip drive from Lawrence to Boulder and back. Judging by the lighting in the scenes, Dean left at night after their visit to the Whitshire farm, drove all night and was gone all day, and got back in time to deal with Liddy Walsh the following afternoon. So he *did* have time to do it, and I think most of the terrain would have been relatively un-challenging to that Pinto ... ;-)
Thanks for the awesome review! :-)

Hi, Alice!
I loved this episode, and just got my review up; I'm dying to read the rest of yours, because I was chuckling all the way through so far! I shared your laugh at Dean in the Pinto, because my very first car was a gold 1973 Pinto; I knew the year was off, but not what the year was, so thanks for that!
I would say, though, that Mary didn't actually sell Sam's soul. Me, I think that Sam's soul is still his own, and keeping it that way is going to be Dean's ultimate task. Azazel bought the opportunity to taint him, even though Mary didn't realize that at the time, but I don't think that taint is irresistible. At any rate, I certainly hope not!

Hi Alice,
I've already posted over at the Part 2 review - but I had to stop in and tell you, since you mentioned it's one of your goals now, that I was able to use "got their hands on some Deloreans" in conversation this week! "Angels" wasn't the pro-noun, but the rest was all there.
Anyways, just wanted to share.

Elle - You're much farther than me then! I suppose telling it to the dog doesn't count, does it? Thanks for sharing that, and I hope it didn't result in too many strange looks.

The episode was fantastic. However, I disagree on one major point: Dean was pulled out of Hell to help stop Azazel's endgame and to help stop Lilith from breaking the 66 seals. Sam, as the last of this generation's psychic Romper Room, is now part of the endgame (as Ava or Jake would be if they had been the last).
I think Castiel could smash Sam right now, but I also think he's giving Dean a chance to save his brother, not so much for Sam's sake--because Castiel doesn't seem to care very much if Sam goes good, so long as he doesn't play his pawn's role in the endgame; Castiel never talks about Sam joining the side of the angels if Sam doesn't fall all the way--but because God has work for Dean, and I think Dean would walk away if they took out Sam before it was absolutely necessary.
