They went directly to Bobby's house, because they put Bobby's hair in the drink. That's what Sam did right before they drank the brew. His hair made sure that they ended up in Bobby's dream. That's what the bad guy used to get into people's dreams. He used the bottle Dean drank from to get into Dean's dream. I can agree that the misogyny can be a bit much in this, and other, shows. Especially back when this was first filmed. I came to give Dean a break on it because I see that he gets that way when the "woman" is actually evil, or not really a "woman". Dean's pretty black and white about things and he likely doesn't see the as deserving of any inch of respect. And too bad Dean didn't kill Ruby when he had the chance. She may have wanted to win Dean over, but he wasn't fully fooled. He still didn't trust her, even after what she did here. Not really. Too bad he let Sam talk him out of killing her. In my opinion. What she did to Sam and got him to do by releasing Lucifer. I'd never have accepted a redemption arc for her if they'd ever tried one. I never fully trusted her myself, when I was first watching the show. I was in the same mind set as Dean. Ruby's a Demon. Enough said. I don't think all witches worked with demons. Some witches needed the help of demons, but not all. At least that's what it seems. At first, it did seem like all witches were evil, so it made sense - back then - that the guys wouldn't have a problem killing them. But we came to see that isn't true for all witches. But the ones that work with demons likely are a lost cause. Personally, I think the "new leader" could have been Crowley. I'm also thinking that it was Crowley who Bella gave the colt to, after stealing it. Maybe he was the one she sold her soul to as a kid. I think that part of Dean's issue with the female demon from that other episode was that he probably wanted to exorcise her and save the human, but Sam killed her instead.

They wanted to have Sam confronted with hockey-masked Jason, as a nod to Jared having done a Friday the 13th movie. Unfortunately lawyers said WB didn’t have the rights to it, after previously thinking they did. So they created Sam dreaming about Bela as a different joke. Then ultimately they learned WB did have the rights to do Jason, but it was too late.

2024-04-17 04:23:24 +0000 UTCI'm just finishing the reaction and want to add that Sam was talked into drinking demon blood because Ruby positioned it as a means to get revenge on Lilith for taking Dean to hell. Ruby dangled the "saving Dean" carrot and when that didn't happen, killing Lilith was (to quote Ruby in S4 E10) "the next best thing". How it changed him after the fact is because of the demon blood corrupting him. I have always believed his powers were neutral, but influences could help sway and determine what they would be used for. The problem is that the show never really clarified how that worked or what came first, the chicken or the egg. Partially due to changing directions so many times in the first 3-4 seasons. Being one who has had several addicts in my family (and even losing my sister to an overdose) the way Jared portrayed someone with an addiction was incredible and very much true to what I have have experienced personally. It's what solidified my Sam-leaning tendencies while also validating that I am very much Dean-like, besides being the responsible older sibling in my family. His reactions were very much like my own in many situations. But I do agree that the tendency to become an addict is very much apparent in your genetics, so I can understand what you are seeing in the foreshadowing. It's an interesting pattern to discover, on top of Sam needing to cling to Ruby as he used to cling to Dean (interpret that as you will - I didn't write the show so don't get mad at me lol) plus being in the throws of an addiction, which is what kept him coming back while the other parts took root and corrupted him. I also understand why you think Cass was an important part of expanding Dean's perspective. I agree, and I'm not a shipper or one who needs found family to enjoy the show. "Give him something more than Sam" is an interesting way to put that. Because the addition of Cass really drove home that Dean may have been taught to only care for Sam but given a choice...? Yep. Still chooses him of his own free will, and that is the growth that I enjoyed the most with his character. I digress, people may disagree and not like that comment, but I didn't write the show...lol.

The bright colors were such a stark contrast to the dingy look the show had. I remember reading somewhere that the bright scenes in early seasons - especially used in the trickster episodes - became the norm in the later seasons. Not my favorite TBH.

2024-04-16 00:57:38 +0000 UTCYes, they were supposed to have JDM instead of demon dean but couldn't, this worked out for the best I think I think the Lisa appearance is interesting, imo Cassie would have made much more sense since Lisa was just a one night stand years ago and a motw case that's all, it's not like they have history or used to date or anything like that, so she's more like a representation of a "normal life" than the love of dean's life or anything like that, it's what he thinks he wants until he actually have it in season 6 and realize that he's not as happy, fulfilled satisfied as he thought he would be, he wants love but he also doesn't like the boring suburban life and doesn't think he can handle raising a child, perfect scenario would be to date a hunter or someone in the life that wouldn't require settling down imo

2024-04-15 23:47:13 +0000 UTCi also think its important to not take anything a demon says too seriously. Especially seasons 2-5, they are all about manipulating Sam and Dean, and lying about everything. They are trying to keep their master plans under wraps, so they feed the boys (and us) a ton of false information, including about Lilith, so that they can get Sam to do what he needs to, and also to lure us as an audience into certain expectations, exactly like they did with Ruby. That’s how they pull off such beautiful blindsides

2024-04-15 21:23:32 +0000 UTCthis episode is so much more haunting after we see season 10. It’s even more painful because Dean works through the grief and the pain of what he did in Hell, and even lets it go by that point, only for the terror of what he might become to come back around full circle

2024-04-15 21:17:52 +0000 UTCRewatching this made it really clear how much it's about Dean and John being paralleled with Jeffrey and his dad, with lines drawn explicitly between what Jeffrey's dad did to him and what Dean's dad did to him. In the dream sequence, first Dean thinks he's talking to Jeffrey – but it's actually himself. Then Sam 'wakes up' in the Impala and nudges Dean in the driver's seat – and it's actually Jeffrey. Dean has a confrontation with himself that's all about how John has made him into a thing – Daddy's blunt little instrument; Jeffrey tells Sam about existing as someone who can't dream and feels barely alive (because his father knocked that out of him). Dean succeeds in conquering that part of himself – for now anyway. My heart aches knowing that voice is still inside his head a decade later, when Sam and Cas go inside his mind in s14's Nihilism episode. Also, I think this is the first time I noticed that Sam is pinned to the ground in a crucified position. Although he's fighting for his (and Dean's and Bobby's) life, the way he summons Jeffrey's homicidal dad to kill him is scarily dark and brutal, and it really made me feel for Sam's perilous position, teetering on the brink of going to the dark side - which we'll get more of this season and next of course. In short, this is such a brilliant episode.
