Other Random Observations
Oh Dean, you’re a good guy after all. Despite his hatred for Bela, he didn’t shoot her, and that’s pretty remarkable considering the pure ire coming from his eyes when he was staring her down. Of course we found out later it was because he figured out she had a deal, but isn’t that more satisfying, forcing her to deal with her actions rather than getting his revenge? As much as I wanted him to shoot her, I realize it would have been out of character if he did.
I got an answer to one of my questions from last week. Dean said that the only way to get out of the deal where Sam doesn’t die is to kill the holder of the contract. So, I now consider that whole “why isn’t Dean concerned about Sam dropping dead” issue resolved. Thank you Sera Gamble! Anyone else notice that Jared actually cut his hair? Isn’t this the first time this season? It was pretty freaking long the last two episodes. I liked.
As usual, there were plenty of great sound bites, but it was clear that Sera Gamble’s mind was in the gutter when she was working on the script. There were many innuendos in this one, but I didn’t mind. A Cleveland steamer? Oh, you didn’t go there. Oh, yes you did. “You do her ear?” “Hey man, I’ll try anything once, but that seems uncomfortable.” Good job though on doing the homework, for identification by ear is a real thing in the UK. Not popular, but real. My favorite quote of the evening though came from Dean’s witty response to Rufus’ morbid prognostication. “Well, ain’t you a bucket of sunshine.”
Speaking of which, Steven Williams came in and delivered quite a winning guest star appearance, didn’t he? As soon as I saw him in the doorway, I knew it would be good. Great casting, guys! I want to see his character back next season. Can you picture this being Dean in thirty years? Holed up in a run down house, security cameras all over, only being won over by a bottle of scotch, telling other hunters how they’re gonna live and die ugly? How did he know about Dean’s deal anyway? “I’m what you’ve got to look forward to if you survive. Which you won‘t.” Definitely not a guy for warm fuzzies.
