Rewatching Tall Tales

Welcome to “Gabe!: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

 Up today, s2e15: Tall Tales.

  When a locked door death seems fishy to the boys, they visit the college campus where it happened only to find that more and more bizarre incidents are happening, like alien abductions and alligators in the sewers. They're both stumped and on each other’s last nerves, so they call in Bobby to help, who takes one look at the two of them bickering and knows that they're dealing with a trickster god. They discover that the culprit is a hedonistic, candy-loving (Gabriel disguised as - but they don't figure this out until later) Loki disguised as a janitor, and pull off a clever trick of their own to kill him. But as they drive away thinking they've gotten rid of the menace, we see that the trickster tricked them again and is still alive.

 Below is a log of our real-time reactions as we watched. Remember that there may be spoilers for any part of SPN’s 15-season run here. Note also that the nature of our conversation is adult and thus it may contain adult language and themes.
