Rewatching Weekend at Bobby's

Welcome to “The Bobby and Rufus Show, Guest Starring That Cutie, Marcie: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s6e4: Weekend at Bobby’s.

It’s the Bobby episode! We watch Bobby go about his normal routine at home, including a visit from his adorable neighbor, who is bearing cobbler and is clearly interested. Too bad Bobby has a demon in the basement he’s torturing to try to establish some leverage over Crowley. And then Rufus shows up with a body! Various shenanigans ensue, including an assist from Jody and some further indications that the monsters are all behaving weird. Meanwhile, over in the Kingdom That Is United (Sort of), Sam and Dean have located and dug up Crowley’s bones. If they burn them, Crowley will die die. Thus, Crowley is willing to negotiate re: Bobby’s soul. Oh, and Bobby reads the boys the riot act for caring more about their own shit than Bobby’s troubles.

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.

Rewatching The Third Man

Welcome to “Profounder Bonds and Disco Sticks” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s6e3: The Third Man.

Three police officers die in really gross and weird ways, so Sam and Dean show up to investigate. They get stumped and call on Cas for help, who, apparently, only comes for Dean and not Sammy. Cas says heaven is a hot chaotic post-apocalyptic mess, and that in the confusion a bunch of celestial-type weapons have been stolen, including the Staff of Moses, which someone’s been using to get revenge on these cops. The common denominator? A black kid they killed and framed. But how did the kid brother get his hands on the Moses Stick?  Sexy, snarky angel Balthazar. Oh, and at the end there’s one of those Fraught Brothers Have a Fraught Convo over Baby’s Hood scenes. 

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.

Rewatching Two and a Half Men

Welcome to “Sammy’s Looking Good But Acting Weird, Dean Holds a Baby, and the Campbells All Need Kicked: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s6e2: Two and a Half Men.

Dean is trying to make life with Lisa and Ben work, while Sam is off hunting with the Campbells, who are some of the shittiest characters not to be straight-up villains ever to appear on the show. When Sam investigates babies whose parents are getting killed, he ends up stuck with one of the kids and calls Dean for help. Sam is kind of obliviously impressed by how good a “dad” Dean is, and Dean is… kind of a really great dad (whiskey aside). Eventually they realize the baby is a shifter and go to Samuel with the news and the kid. The Campbells think they ought to raise the baby as a hunter; Gramps even suggests that one of his other grandsons (grand nephews? Whatever) should adopt him, since he and his wife are having trouble trying. Dean is agin it. It’s all for naught though, because the baby’s shifter pops shows up and takes the baby away. We’re left wondering if something’s not quite right with Sam, asking what the heck the Campbells’ deal is, and even more suspicious that something is not a-okay in monster world.

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.

 [and we begin:]

Mace:

do we really need all this?

Lor:

all the shapeshifter stuff?

Mace:

I mean, it’s a lot of recap for just happening in the last ep

Lor:

oh, yeah, I don't know it does seem like "uh, we know?"

Mace:

exactly

Jesus, baby, shut the heck up, dude

Lor:

LOL

Lor:

I'm here going who the heck has nothing under their bed?

Mace:

RIGHT?!

Lor:

ha! nice pivot, Dean

Mace:

YEP

Lor:

mmmm his hand in his pocket. all beautifully tailored and casual

Mace:

YES

Mace:

oh, Dean, bud. Rookie mistake

Lor:

LOL Lisa and Ben giving him the Look

Mace:

YES

stop saying baby stew, you dickhole

Lor:

"either way it's baby stew. which is bad" SAMUEL SHUT UP

Lor:

HAAAAHAHAHAHAHA

Mace:

HAHAHAHA

Lor:

oh Dean

I mean, he's right, but dude

yeah

Lor:

"what’d he do?" "nothing" "what did you do?"

she does have his number

Mace:

she really does

Lor:

I NEED someone to cast him in something where he gets to play a regular guy. a nice dramedy. LET'S GET THIS MAN AN EMMY

Mace:

HA

Mace:

YES

Mace:

but also how about a rom com? because he’s also hilarious

Lor:

YAAAAAS

Mace:

HAHAHAHA I LOVE IT

and it’s SAM making the pop culture reference!

Lor:

YES

Mace:

“I’m gonna shoot you” HAHAHA

Mace:

“god, shut up” I kinda love her

Lor:

"if you don't walk out that door, I'm gonna shoot you" LOLOLOLOL

Lor:

I like her a lot

Lor:

she just... isn't Cas? and I don't know how the show WORKS if he's with her?

Mace:

oh yeah no. it could in no way ever work

Mace:

omg that baby is adorable

Lor:

OMG THE BABY SMILE

Lor:

"car should drive, not be a little bitch" HAAAHAHAHAHA

Mace:

YES

Lor:

"Lisa's got a baby niece" yeah AND you raised that moose standing next to you

Mace:

YEP

Lor:

omg Dean crying back at him

BOBBY JOHN

Mace:

WOW

Lor:

the way Dean says Bobby and Sam says John

Mace:

YES

Mace:

EWEWEWEW

Lor:

RIGHT?

Lor:

Daddy Dean I can not. I am a puddle

Mace:

SAME

Lor:

yeah, because helping a twelve-year-old grow up is a lot like taking care of a baby?

Mace:

snork right?

Mace:

dean winchester no

Lor:

DEAN WINCHESTER

Mace:

HAHAHA

Mace:

wow, Dean was really calm about that

Lor:

well sure, he has a baby to take care of

Mace:

SNORK

YES

Lor:

"I'm not seeing the family resemblance" snork

Mace:

HAHAHA

Mace:

“shakes mama’s tree” omg Dean

Lor:

LOLOLOLOLOL

Mace:

Sammy. Get better at reading people. Samuel SUCKS

Lor:

"I'm a freaking head case"

LOL

Lor:

RIGHT?

Mace:

Oh Dean.

Lor:

GWEN. PISS OFF

Mace:

YEP

Lor:

dude, he thinks you look extremely fuckable

Mace:

HA

Mace:

SAM. I can’t believe he just passed him over to Samuel after Dean clearly doesn’t want that to happen

Lor:

RIGHT?

Lor:

CHRISTIAN. I WILL KICK YOU SO HARD

Mace:

YEAH

Lor:

oh sure Christian wants a baby but they just hand him off to Dean when something goes down

Mace:

right?!

Lor:

I mean, they aren't WRONG that he's the only one there who should have that kiddo, but come on

Mace:

I mean, I really don’t want them to have the baby, but what exactly is Dean’s plan?

Lor:

yeah, I don't think he's got that far

Mace:

this is one of the episodes, I think, where he waffles in his convictions (Sam does this too): are they black and white Kill All Monsters or are they torn? I think they flip-flop throughout the show, right?

Lor:

yeah they definitely do

Lor:

Dean being attacked by himself while he's trying to caregive is... some kind of statement

Mace:

indeed

Lor:

Dean's spidey senses are tingling

Mace:

they sure are. smartypants

Lor:

pets him

Lor:

GOD he's pretty

Mace:

He really is

Lor:

no he's a MECHANIC

Mace:

HAHAHA

Lor:

oh, Dean. he can't find the middle

Mace:

hooo boy

Lor:

YAY BABY

Mace:

YAS

Mace:

such a weird way to end that ep, though

Lor:

right?

Mace:

the smile? I don’t think he’d be smiling like that while leaving them

Lor:

yeah, I feel like he would be WAY more bittersweet. like if he had smiled like that and it had faded? that might have been cool

Mace:

Yep, that would have been better

Rewatching Exile on Main St.

Welcome to “Ah, We’ve Entered the Shitty Campbell Relatives Portion of the Show: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s6e1: Exile on Main St.

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.

 [and we begin:]

It’s been months now since Sammy got sucked down into Lucy’s cage and Dean is trying to settle into a normal life with Lisa and Ben, but those artsy black-and-white memories of hunting with Sam just won’t let him be. And then he thinks maybe something SUPERNATURAL is going on in his neighborhood, so he puts on his Hunter Hat and starts sniffing around. AND THEN Yellow Eyes sneaks up on him in his garage, but wait, it’s not really YE because it’s all hallucinations, or so Sammy tells him as he, too, pops up out of nowhere alive! and not in Hell! Turns out, he’s been back pretty much the entire time, but just hasn’t told Dean because he wanted his brother to have a chance at a normal life. Dean is, unshockingly, pissed and hurt and smad. Even more so when he learns that Bobby knew all along that Sam was back. But wait, there’s more! Sam has been hunting and has replaced his brother with other relatives: the Campbells, namely Gramps (who is also back from the dead for some reason) and some cousins. And they all suck. Like, they’re the worst. Anyway, so the hallucinations were caused by some djinn out for revenge from when Dean ganked one of their kind, so Dean moves Lisa and Ben to Bobby’s house while he, Sam, and their shitty relations go a-huntin’. Dean feels rusty and nearly makes a rookie mistake, but Sam wants him back in the game anyway, so Dean says bye to his attempt at normal life and together he and Sam get Season 6 rolling.

Mace:

Rewatching Swan Song

Welcome to “One Does Not Simply Walk into Stull Cemetery: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s5e22: Swan Song.

Time’s up: it’s apocalypse or bust. Sam thinks if he drinks enough demon blood, he can say yes to Lucifer, wrest control from him, and use the rings to open a portal to the cage and jump in. Shockingly, Dean doesn’t love this plan. But it’s kind of what they got. In the end, Luci!Sam confronts Michael!Adam in Stull Cemetery, and Dean rides up in Baby, tunes blaring, because if he can’t save Sam, he can still be there. Cas gets exploded, Bobby gets dead, Luci!Sam beats the shit out of Dean—everything looks really bleak. But as Dean assures Sam that he’s there, that he won’t leave him, Sam catches sight of an army man he once wedged into the ashtray in Baby’s backseat, and he is able to gain control of Lucifer. He opens the portal and jumps in. Cas returns to life, assures Dean that he’s not God, and heals him. Dean goes to Lisa, as he promised Sam he would, and he settles into some kind of life with her and Ben. Meanwhile, Sam (!) watches him through the window.

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.

Rewatching Two Minutes to Midnight

Welcome to “Death Doesn’t Watch the Show, but He *Is* Familiar with Pizza Porn: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s5e21: Two Minutes to Midnight.

The boys need two more rings, those from Pestilence and Death, and while they’re off confronting Sick Boy (and he is GROSS), Crowley tells Bobby that he’ll give him Death’s location in exchange for Bobby’s soul. They make the deal, seal it with a kiss—pics or it didn’t happen—and then Crowley and Dean are off to Chicago for that last ring. Dean has pizza with Death and learns that Lucifer has cast a spell on Death, who wants out. Meanwhile Sam, Bobby, and Cas are trying to prevent a deadly fake vaccine from being mass-distributed, and Sam reveals his plan to become Luci’s vessel so that he can force him back into the cage. Back in Chicago, making deals with the King of Hell is one thing, but getting in cahoots with old Thanatos is next level, and Dean agrees to a pretty steep price for that ring.

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.

Rewatching The Devil You Know

Welcome to “Crowley Is Clean Shaven, Dean Is SO Smooth, and Sam Is the One You Should Be Afraid Of: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s5e20: The Devil You Know.

Sam and Dean are trying to track down Pestilence by following wild outbreaks of swine flu (remember swine flu?), when Crowley (YAY!) pops in offering to help. Shockingly, this sends the fraught fraternals into an argument. He is a demon, after all, and he did screw them over last time. Eventually they agree to go along, and oops! Crowley left out some details that leave Dean getting his ass whooped by a demon named Brady. But they get some info—aaaaaand learn that Brady is one of Sam’s college friends. Who has been possessed since long before Dean showed up with the news that Dad’s on a hunting trip and hasn’t been home in a few days. Oh boy. Dean’s in a state about Sam having to deal with this, Sam’s intent on murdering the bastard, and Crowley likes to watch. In the end, Crowley pays a visit to Bobby, with yet another proposal.

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.

Rewatching Hammer of the Gods

Welcome to “The Gods Must Be a Great Big Bag of Dicks: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s5e19: Hammer of the Gods.

The boys get knocked off whatever route they were taking to wherever they were going and end up for the night at a weirdly nice (but certainly not 4-star) hotel in the middle of nowhere. Dean sees an elephant in one of the rooms, Sammy won’t let him enjoy his pie in piece, and ope, there are gods having a meeting in the conference room. And the meeting is about Sam and Dean, because of course. Gabriel shows up to… help? But then Mercury makes a dick move and snitches them all out to Lucifer, who’s there in a heartbeat to make his claim on Sam and slaughter the other gods, including his brother, Gabe. Sadness. But his death gives the boys time to escape and Gabe doesn’t leave them empty-handed: he has a final message for them about the end times: they need to gather the rings of the 4 Riders so they can reopen Lucifer’s old Hell cage and shove him back in. Cut to the end scene in which Pestilence snots up a convenience store before riding off into the sunset. Gross.

   Lor:

"the elephant in the room. NOT YOU"

yeah, there's some shenanigans about this and I can't remember what it is

he's been pretending to be Loki bc of some deal with Loki or something?

Mace:

   Lor:

"bite me, Gabriel" "maybe later, big boy"

I don’t think that the Norse gods would be fooled by Gabe

   Lor:

yeah, agreed

Mace:

ooof, Kali is FINE

   Lor:

RIGHT?

I don't love the implication that Lucifer just IS stronger than all these other gods. Like, WHY?

Mace:

yeah

   Lor:

I feel like they've raised questions they just didn't need to

Mace:

maybe they’re working with the idea that gods are only as strong as belief in them makes them? I do like that line of thought, generally

   Lor:

ooo, yes I'd be down with that

not sure it's implied, but I'll accept the headcannon

Mace:

but yeah, otherwise this ep is flabby

“you are a great big bag of dicks” HAHAHAHA

Mace:

Rewatching Point of No Return

Welcome to “If You Weren’t Shipping Destiel before this Episode, You Are Now: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s5e18: Point of No Return.

The angels are peeved because Project Get the Winchesters to Say Yes is behind schedule and over-budget. Dean has run off and is prepping to say yes, but ope! it’s Sam with the surprise (?) ability to track down his brother and drag him home, where everyone takes a turn wailing on each other over aaaaall the drama. Then they discover Adam has been angel-resurrected and that the angels think he’ll do for a vessel for Michael. Dean’s not having that and tries to deliver himself into angel hands, but ope! it’s Cas with the homoerotic alley beating to save the day! Zach convinces Adam to come along; Adam gets trapped in the beautiful room; Sam and Dean have a fraught brother moment and go after him; Zach does fraternal torture to convince Dean to say yes; Dean is on the verge of doing so; but then ope! it’s Dean with the wink and the angel blade to Zach’s throat! Zach’s dead, no one’s said yes, and Sam and Dean escape. Oh oops, though. Adam doesn’t make it and is still in the clutches of the angels. That’s probably fine, right?

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.

Rewatching 99 Problems

Welcome to “Abomination Boys are Hot: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s5e17: 99 Problems.

Sam and Dean get help fending off some demons chasing them in the form of an anti-demon roadblock and some locals who seems to know Enochian. Turns out an entire small town has turned into demon hunters, led by a pastor and his daughter, who appears to be a prophet. But things start looking hinky pretty quick, and when Cas shows up, he’s got the skinny on the preacher’s daughter: she’s the Whore of Babylon and she’s turned the town into a cult. She can only be killed with a special stake wielded by a servant of heaven, which Cas says rules both boys right out (Dean because he’s stubborn and Sam because he’s an abomination). But in the end, Dean is able to gank her, then he takes to the road in a snit to see Lisa and, essentially, tell her goodbye, I guess? Oh, and Cas found a liquor store and drank it because he’s bummed about God turning out to be a deadbeat dad.

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.

  Mace:

Rewatching Dark Side of the Moon

Welcome to “Everyone Needs a Hug: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s5e16: Dark Side of the Moon.

Sam and Dean wake up to find themselves at shotgun point. Two hunters have it out for Sam because he started the apocalypse. And they shoot the boys dead! And then Dean wakes up—in a memory of a Fourth of July when he and Sam were teenagers and Dean got them fireworks to set off. It is a good memory. But—what? The boys are in heaven, and they come across several of their own memories, the content of which create some fraught. Cas contacts Dean and says they should take this opportunity to find the garden and talk to Joshua. Because Joshua talks to God, and maybe he can help them find God or convince God to help. With a neat assist from Ash and a little noncon from Pamela, the boys do find Joshua, who is kind of awesome but also warns them in no uncertain terms that God is out, aaall the way out, and they should stop trying to get his attention. Then he sends them back to Being Alive, and Cas is devastated at the news about God. He gives Dean back the amulet, which Dean despairing throws away. GAH.

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.

"gardener to gardener" THAT is giving Chuck WAY to much credit

Lor:

the fact that they had a "and he found love with an angel after all this and they built their OWN relationship" RIGHT THERE and they left it on the table at the end is SUCH a failure of understanding their own writing jeezy creezy

Lor:

that was a VERY impressive gasp for air, Jared

Mace:

YEPYEPYEP

Mace:

Lor:

Mace:

Lor:

Mace:

Plus, dramatic gestures won’t get you anywhere, yeesh

Lor:

right?

Mace:

yeah, that’s a rough one

Lor:

I mean, I assume we are supposed to read throwing it away as a loss of faith in everything, including them, BUT STILL

Mace:

right? and right in front of Sammy. smacks Dean upside

Lor:

tsk

Lor:

they need hugs and jimjams and toasted cheese sandwiches

Mace:

THEY DO

Rewatching Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid

Welcome to “You’re Being Dumb, Sam. Sam, Don’t Be Dumb: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s5e15: Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid

The dead are getting up out of their graves in Bobby’s hometown, but nobody wants the boys’ help because they’re getting their loved ones back. Until, of course, it all goes pear-shaped. Still, Bobby - and the town sheriff, JODY!! - remain stubborn about shooting their wife and child, respectively, until it’s very almost too late.

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.

 [and we begin:]

Lor:

haaaaaahahahaha the voiceover on the tv

  Mace:

YES

“First the animal reacts with confusion” HAHAHA

  Lor:

YES it's great

"who died and made you queen?" and Dean's face!

  Mace:

“Who died and made you queen?:

HAHAHAHA

  Mace:

YES

  Lor:

LOLOLOL

oh sure Dean, you can climb out of your grave, but when someone else does it, you're all "that doesn't happen"

  Mace:

SNORK

JODY

  Lor:

YAAAAAAS

we arrive at the era where there's some great female characters who are around for more than one ep

  Mace:

YES

but gods forbid they actually let them have their own spinoff

  Lor:

OMG THEIR FACES

  Mace:

OMG BUSTED

“bullcrap” HAHAHA YAS JODY GET EM

  Lor:

"that is a... FUN coincidence"

  Mace:

YES

she is HOT

  Lor:

yes

"what is that smell? is that SOAP?" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA

  Mace:

SNORK!!

  Lor:

A tank of gas? I love you, Baby, but you guzzle the dinosaur sludge

  Mace:

HA right?!

  Lor:

Dean Winchester, are you whistling in a graveyard?

  Mace:

he IS

  Lor:

I am SURE he was taught better'n that

  Mace:

okay what’s with the smell metaphors?

  Lor:

YAAAAAAAAS

SNORK

LOL

"are you confessing?"

  Mace:

poor boys are confused

  Lor:

"and? and you're welcome?" 

YES

  Mace:

YAS

  Lor:

"you're a zombie." "I'm a taxpayer" too soon, too soon

  Mace:

HAAAAHAHAHA

Bobby is NOT helping unconfuse the boys

  Lor:

poor Bobby and his dumb nephews

NOPE

  Mace:

oh no, i forgot about Bobby’s wife

  Lor:

yeeeeeah

she can make pie though, so it's fine

  Mace:

Sammy, don't give him that look, if PIE

  Lor:

RIGHT?

maybe if you brought Dean his pie when he asked for it, he'd be less likely to take pie from zombies, SAM

  Mace:

HAHAHAHA

that pie DOES look good

  Lor:

it DOES

"well there were the lightning storms" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA

  Mace:

SNORK

  Lor:

"MUST BE THURSDAY"

it's okay, Dean, I will soothe your temples. come lie down with me. I gotcha

  Mace:

Ah yes, that old chestnut. Every show in the history of TV is, I think, contractually obligated to make that joke

  Lor:

LOLOLOLOL

i do think it's written down that if you make it past season 4 you gotta

  Mace:

YEP

  Lor:

oh Bobby

  Mace:

“what would you do if you were us?"

  Lor:

that's not in keeping with the rest of the book, Bobby

ooof

oh his FACE. don't mess with his uncle

  Mace:

YES

Dean is TORN. She’s a zombie but she’s offering lunch and more PIE

  Lor:

I do REALLY like her. like, "you think I let Bobby tell me what to do?"

RIGHT?

  Mace:

YES

  Lor:

"or being dead"

  Mace:

“or being dead”

  Mace:

  Lor:

yep, that's him, smooth and subtle

Mace:

Lor:

Don't worry he WILL BE

  Mace:

“my job is to bring him peace” oh, girl, no

"we're his family, Sam" oh, Dean, hon

  Mace:

YUP

  Lor:

"okay. I'll head to town and... rescue everyone"

oh Sammy

  Mace:

how do you get a little kid actor to do that without giving the poor thing nightmares?!

  Lor:

RIGHT?

I love that Sammy knows to call her sheriff to get her to focus

  Mace:

YES

poor Jody

  Lor:

RIGHT?

I think sometimes I forget that her story starts with so much trauma

I mean, par for the course for hunters, but

  Mace:

I had totally forgotten!

man up and respect her wishes, Bobby

  Lor:

ooooof

making a lot of noise for someone trying to sneak in there, DeanDean

  Mace:

SNORK

  Lor:

omg those two

  Mace:

YES

  Lor:

"I thought HE was the town drunk"

HAHAHA

  Lor:

i enjoy the implication that every town only gets one

  Mace:

HAHAHAHA excellent point

Dean you did NOT just drop your gun

  Lor:

he's having some trouble this ep

  Mace:

he really is

  Lor:

he's probably distracted by whatever this music is

  Mace:

RIGHT?! I mean, what the shit ?

  Lor:

the tag teaming while one of them is in a wheelchair is pretty cool

  Mace:

YES

Oh, pie!

  Lor:

LOL

  Mace:

“Don’t you ever get tired of being wrong?"

HAHAHAHAHA

  Lor:

"don't you ever get tired of being wrong?"

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

ooooo I love that there’s no answer to "you okay?"

  Mace:

YES

Look, I get that she’s your wife, Bobby, but a full separate pyre? Really?

#dramaqueen

  Lor:

HA!

"she was the love of my life. how many times do I gotta kill her?"

jeeeeeeez

  Mace:

Sammy, quit asking if these people are okay.

  Lor:

RIGHT?

SAM

  Mace:

SAMMY. WHAT DID I JUST SAY.

  Lor:

WELL THAT WAS CHEERFUL

  Mace:

It sure was.

But hey, JODY!

YAAAAAAAAS

Rewatching My Bloody Valentine

Welcome to “‘Now I need White Castle’: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s5e14: My Bloody Valentine.

A couple at the end of a date have a sweet kiss goodnight that turns into them… eating each other? A man keeps eating Twinkies until his stomach literally explodes? Cas can’t stop himself from eating burger after burger? Dean doesn’t want to go cruise on Valentine’s evening? What gives? After a detour into suspicion of a Cupid, the boys learn that Famine is in town, and rather than bringing starvation, he’s amplifying everyone’s desires and turning them insatiable. Everyone but Dean. Sam, meanwhile, is desperate for demon blood. Dean locks Sam up to keep him safe from his own desires and works with Cas to figure out that Famine is harvesting and consuming human souls. They track Famine, intent on stealing his ring to stop him, as worked with War. Famine claims that Dean isn’t affected by his power because he’s got nothing inside. Meanwhile, Sam has escaped and had himself a demon-blood snack. He is able to vanquish Famine but at the cost of being lost to the demon blood once more. Dean and Cas lock him in the panic room at Bobby’s to detox again, and Dean, after listening to his brother crying and begging to be let out, wanders outside, where he tearfully prays to God for help.

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.

 [and we begin:]

Mace:

“I don’t want to be alone on V-day” is not a great reason for a second date, dude

Mace:

OPE, DEAN’S NOT HUNGRY

Mace:

SNORK

Mace:

“I punched a dick"

Mace:

HAHAHAHAHA OMG

Lor:

oh Dean, baby, don't punch angels, it hurts

Lor:

"OR NOT"

Mace:

YES

Lor:

Samuel, your sideburns. I am begging you

Mace:

HAHAHA RIGHT?!

Lor:

"I'd say it was a very peculiar thing to do" well done, dude

Mace:

I like him

Lor:

yeah, I do, too, honestly

Lor:

he seems like he's seen things but is still mostly okay

Mace:

YES

Mace:

Sam, why did you follow him into an alley, hon?

Lor:

Winchester stupid

Mace:

Not alone at least

Mace:

HAHAHA YEP

Mace:

Mace:

“what are you, the hamburgler?"

Lor:

YES

Lor:

I love that they bother with the reference in a line that's off screen

Mace:

YES

Lor:

oh Sammy. Oh Dean. their faces

Mace:

right?!

Lor:

"be careful. and HURRY" oooof

Mace:

they couldn’t find a more comfortable place to lock him up?

Mace:

oh no, not him

Lor:

no no that wouldn't be nearly pathetic enough

Lor:

poor Dr Coreman!

Mace:

snork

Lor:

shouldn't his soul be in heaven?

Lor:

why is it in his DEAD BODY

Lor:

figure out your metaphysics, show!

Mace:

SNORK

Lor:

okay, seriously, I really want a hamburger now

Lor:

"it's in the low hundreds"

Mace:

RIGHT?!

Lor:

"where's your hunger, Dean" he's sublimated it into you, Cas

Mace:

“god no, I’m just well fed”

Lor:

YES

Mace:

HAHAHA

Lor:

(I actually can never figure out a good solid reason that makes big picture sense why Dean isn't affected. it FEELS right, but I don't get it)

Mace:

(maybe because he feels so strongly that he doesn’t deserve it?)

Mace:

(i dunno)

Mace:

(or that what he wants is in that car with him right now and he’s in too much denial about it)

Lor:

(mmm maybe? maybe there is something to the well fed thing? like, he doesn't attach any strong desire to food and sex and drink. he just gets them when he wants them and he definitely enjoys them, but they aren't really what he DESIRES. and he doesn't let himself desire what he really wants)

Lor:

(LOL I think you said the same thing I did MUCH more succinctly)

Mace:

(HAHAHAHAHA)

Lor:

oh ew

yeah

Lor:

I hate raw ground beef. bleck

Mace:

yeah, ick

Lor:

"making people cuckoo for cocoa puffs" haahahaha

Mace:

snork

Lor:

"I like to think it's because of the strength of my character"

Mace:

pets him

Lor:

YES

Lor:

"that's one deep dark nothing you've got there" see, I don't buy it

Lor:

there has never been a character with more IN him than Dean

Mace:

yeah, but he’s convinced himself otherwise, and maybe Famine is just playing with those thoughts instead of telling any truths

Lor:

ooo yeah that could be. and I do buy Dean might be depressed at this moment. which would track with what he said

Mace:

oooh smarty Sammy

Lor:

YES

Mace:

but, buddy, wash your face

Lor:

for real

Lor:

oh Dean

Mace:

Oh Sammy

Lor:

poor boys wraps them all in blankets

Mace:

YES

Mace:

oh TEARS

Mace:

poor boy

Lor:

YAAAAS

Lor:

gaaaaaaah I CANNOT

Lor:

how many times do we see him tearfully asking his dad or god for help and getting silence as an answer?

A LOT

Lor:

a feel like there's a Fuck 327 essay I could unpack in there, too, but I'm having a pleasant afternoon and I don't want to get all wrathy

Mace:

The good part is one of the most believable things in the whole show #athiestreading

Mace:

HAHAHA

Lor:

HA! yep (although I find it particularly galling to watch that scene having seen the whole show knowing God IS in fact there and is just not arsed/has his own reasons not to help. JUST LIKE JOHN in season one

Welcome to “Smells Like Idjits and Oedipus in Here: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s5e13: The Song Remains the Same.

The Stupidest Angel, aka Anna, gets sent back in time to kill the boys’ parents before they can make a baby Sammy, in an attempt to preemptively win Armageddon. Sam and Dean don’t take too kindly to this notion, and so Cas sends them back in time to 1978 to stop Anna. Dean meets up with his parents again and Sam sees his mom for the first time. There is emoting. And Dean tries to warn Mary about the night the yellow-eyed demon kills her, but, of course, fails. In the meantime, John finds out about Mary’s hunter past and freaks just a little, then asks the boys to teach him how to help fight the good fight. In the battle that follows, Sammy gets ganked, but Michael busts in all deus ex machina style in John’s body, and Dean finds out that he’s not the *only* vessel for the archangel, but that he’s in the bloodline that can serve as such. Then they have a spat about whether or not following Daddy’s orders blindly is a good idea, and whether free will is a thing or just a hoax. Michael agrees to save Sam and transport them both back to the future, but he also wipes John’s and Mary’s memory of the whole thing, which means Dean’s attempts to save his mom are for naught. Sadness. Sam, Dean, and Cas are zapped back to their current-time hotel, and Dean toasts Team Free Will.

And we begin:

Lor:

Rewatching Swap Meat

Welcome to “A Trio of Teenagers Is about to Find Out: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s5e12: Swap Meat.

Sam walks into a bar alone, orders an umbrella drink, and misses entirely that he’s being hit on by a sexy lady. It’s almost like… he’s someone else. Because he is! A teenaged boy who is tired of his father-prescripted grind to get into MIT has worked a spell to switch bodies with Sam. But whoops! It involves a dark book and a demon, who shows up to possess one of the teenagers so she can deliver the Winchesters to hell. One of the teens finds out by way of getting his heart ripped out of his chest, but the boys manage to save the others. Then Sam and Dean disagree a bit about what they are or are not missing by living the lives they do.

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.

Rewatching Sam, Interrupted

Welcome to “Dean’s Love of Pudding Knows No Mental Health Bounds: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s5e11: Sam, Interrupted.

An old hunter friend, who is suffering from hunting PTSD and currently resides in a mental hospital, calls the boys in to investigate a string of weird deaths in the joint. In order to gain full access, Sam and Dean decide to get themselves admitted (it’s not hard; they just tell the truth about their lives). As they try to track down the monster preying on the patients, they both start having their own mental breakdowns. Turns out it's because the monster can turn you crazy with a single touch, and she likes the taste of crazy brain juice best. Ew. After a couple of red herrings, the boys figure out that it’s the nurse from the beginning of the episode who’s the monster in disguise, and they have to fight her while hopped up on her crazy-making toxins. They win out in the end, though, of course, and then have a brotherly heart-to-heart (as much as Winchesters can do so) over the hood of Baby at the end.

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.

 [and we begin:]

Lor:

 Lor:

"no no, his name's Castiel. he wears a trench coat"

 Mace:

 Lor:

 Lor:

"whole wide world of sports"

 Mace:

Cas should have made them go. all like, "I have been researching human mental health, and I am... concerned. Dean. Do you ever engage in "self-care.""

Mace:

Rewatching Abandon All Hope

Welcome to “If the Female Character Has Agency In Her Own Death, Does It Still Count as Fridging?: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s5e10: Abandon All Hope.

Cas tracks down Crowley, and Sam and Dean then go to confront him, hoping to retrieve the Colt. Crowley hands over the Colt on his own, telling the boys he wants Luci dead because he suspects that Luci will kill all the demons. He tells them where to find Luci, and after an evening at Bobby’s, Sam, Dean, Cas, Jo, and Ellen head to Carthage, Missouri, to go devil hunting. Things go awry immediately—the town is deserted, except for dozens of Reapers, who Cas claims only gather in such numbers when a mass death is in the offing. Meg arrives, taunts her some Winchesters, summons some hell hounds, and sends the boys and co. running. Jo gets big maimed, and with Dean consulting with Bobby over a short-wave radio and barely keeping it together, Jo convinces everyone that they need to build a bomb in the hardware store they’re sheltering in and let her stay to blow it up so the others can escape the hell hounds and continue looking for Luci. We get kind of a great and painful death scene for Jo and Ellen, who can’t stand to leave Jo to die on her own, and Sam and Dean take off to find Luci. And find him, they do, and Sam shoots him. The end. Ha! YOU THOUGHT. The Colt can’t kill the devil, silly. Oops. Cas swoops the boys back to Bobby’s, and they all have A Moment over Jo and Ellen.

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.

I. LOVE. HIM.

Lor:

I love when he gets all angry

Mace:

YES

Lor:

omg Cas

Lor:

he's adorable

Mace:

YES

Mace:

and Ellen is an idiot for thinking she could drink him under the table

Lor:

"thank you again for your continued support"

Lor:

RIGHT?

Mace:

“since when have we ever done anything smart"

Lor:

"since when have we ever done anything smart"

Lor:

YES

Dean. No.

Lor:

right?

Lor:

I mean, among other things, Cas is RIGHT THERE

Mace:

There’s a perfectly good angel just over there, idiot

Mace:

HAHAHAHA OMG

Lor:

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Mace:

But Jo. sleeping with a hot dude on your own terms is not losing self-respect.

Lor:

the look Dean gives Cas. you could try again, hon

Lor:

RIGHT?

Mace:

YES

Lor:

you stick those flip phones out the car windows, boys, you stick em out good

Mace:

HAHAHA

“of course I have" CAAAAAAAS

Mace:

YAS

Lor:

Mace:

CREEPY AS HELL

Mace:

SNORK

Lor:

Lor:

Lor:

YYYEP

Lor:

"I came alone" aw Cas

Lor:

"I'm told you came here in an automobile"

Lor:

"slow. confining" hAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA

“what a peculiar thing you are” Gay, Lucifer. The proper term is gay.

Mace:

HAHAHAHA

Lor:

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES

Mace:

Oh sweet Dean. That scared face

Lor:

ooooof Dean's face when he realizes it's hellhounds

Lor:

YES

Mace:

YES

Lor:

hellhounds on your trail, boy

Mace:

oh. look out, jo.

Lor:

oh. no. jo. do not get ripped to shreds. oh no

Mace:

should have slept with the hottie hunter when you had the chance, girl.

Lor:

LOL

the best part of this is how it affects Dean and as much I don't care about Jo I HATE that they killed off a female character for the effect it would have on one of the heroes and IT WORKS

Mace:

yeah

Lor:

god this scene bt Bobby and Dean

Mace:

YES

Mace:

“the devil’s in the details, Dean"

Lor:

YES

Lor:

"I've died several times myself"

Mace:

HA

Mace:

poor Dean. he is FRAYED

Lor:

RIGHT?

Lor:

he is so close to falling apart

Mace:

HE IS

Lor:

I could hold him together

Mace:

uhhuh. such a sacrificer, you

Lor:

that's me. always ready to take one for the team

Mace:

indeed

Lor:

god his FACE

Mace:

YES

Lor:

when he gets out of this situation, I will be speaking to him about leaving the “rather” out of the phrase "sooner rather than later"

Mace:

HA

Mace:

DEAN. Her innards are outards. She doesn’t feel like macking right now.

Lor:

RIGHT?

I wish they had left it at the forehead kiss

Mace:

right?!

Mace:

I’m not an Ellen fan either, but I do like the dynamic here of not leaving her daughter but choosing to die with her

Lor:

also that he hadn't tried to sleep with her earlier. it feels out of character (unless he was just looking for comfort and that's the only way he knows how to try to find any. but still. it's Jo. he's not into her)

Lor:

YES

Mace:

(yep)

Mace:

(I’m convinced that these occasional eps in which Dean acts un-Dean-like are all written by the same person)

Lor:

(yeah I wouldn't be surprised)

Mace:

UGH. the fact that Ellen has to experience Jo dying first. GAH

Lor:

RIGHT?

and that it was her refusal to leave her that made this work. bc Jo died before she could have set the bomb off

Mace:

YES

Mace:

they both can’t really believe it would be that easy and you can see it in their faces

Lor:

I love the faces like even they don't believe at first that it was that easy

Lor:

LOLOLOLOL

Mace:

YES

Lor:

ooof Sammy

Mace:

yeah

Mace:

huh. a little Dark Side dialogue there, guys

Lor:

ha!

Mace:

cloud-hopping pansies is such a good insult

Lor:

YES

he just stone-cold throws her over the holy fire and uses her as a bridge daaaaang

Mace:

he can be such a badass when he needs

Lor:

YAAAAAAS

Mace:

why take the commemorative photo if you’re just gonna burn it?

Lor:

i was JUST thinking that!

Mace:

such drama queens

Lor:

...maybe he's afraid their spriits could latch onto it and not move on?

Mace:

huh

Mace:
