The Sammich and Deano Show
Sam's hair is looking Charlie's-Angels-feathery and shiny and he is generally beautiful, however, the sideburn terror alert has increased to orange.
Good to see that alcoholic!Dean has returned for another guest spot.
Bobby wins for, "Get the hell out of dodge -- who does that sound like to you?"
Dean giving himself a pep talk to get into the spirit for a hookup is unbelievably depressing.
Never love the storylines involving gods of various pantheons, always so reductive -- like nothing in this 'verse is scary or genuinely powerful.
Lawyer!Sam = SUCH an opportunity for competence kink, fairly wasted.
WONDERFUL to see Jo, even briefly.
The Dean Winchester Flashback Guilt Parade --> *copious weeping*
Ahahahahaha of my god, as soon as it's clarified that the Monster of the Week is Dean's self-loathing, this becomes hilarious/tragic/somehow inevitable. Dean's guilt should really get like, fifth billing, right after the Impala and Sam's hair, right above the Single Perfect Tear.
Bonus Jo!
Sam Winchester: solving problems with sharp objects since 1983.
BOYS STANDING BY THE CAR NEAR A BODY OF WATER, IMBIBING AND TALKING ABOUT THEIR FEEEEEEEELINGS. My favorite! If I had skillz I would do a montage of all of those scenes.
Sam without his guilt? Whaaaaa? What will we base our characterizations on NOW? (Oh, right, looking at Dean with hearts-in-his-eyes.)
Sam's positivity makes me extremely nervous about the shitstorm that will inevitably ruin everything.
This episode reaction is brought to you by the letter X, and the flippy bits in Sam's hair.
PS. Want to know why I'm punchy? 1) Sam's glorious hair. 2) I went to an estate sale here today in order to obtain a few pieces of kitschy Los Angeles history before it goes away. End of an (absurdly baroque) era. To my disappointment, I did not have time to stick around and get my Youngwood-logo-embossed pint glasses signed by the man of the house. 3) Sam's glorious hair.
