6.14 A day late and a dollar short

Here we go! Flailing, capslocking and general incoherence behind the cut. Remember, I have NOT SEEN next week's promo. DO NOT TELL ME ABOUT IT HERE OR ANYWHERE ELSE, PLEASE.

Oh, Dean, break my heart, why don't you?

Yikes.

Aaaand onto the case, apparently. WHERE IS MY H/C, SERA?!?

Creepy mannequin.

Poor Janitor. He's about to die, isn't he?

Yep. The mannequin is going to eat him. Wasn't the first Doctor Who episode about this?

Hey! Slicing open the forehead! Also from Doctor Who, only with more blood. I'm amazed this guy isn't screaming. I'd scream if MY forehead was getting sliced open by nothing I could determine.

Does the thing need a body or something?

And, ew.

Ow. Poor Sammy. I BET that would give you a headache.

Just say no to drugs, Sammy!

I missed the forehead wrinkles. :)

Let it come out in spurts of violence and alcoholism. Oh, Dean, it doesn't really work for you, honey.

And Sam is lyng through his teeth to make you happy.

Seriously, what is a Snookie?

Dean, do NOT play with that!

"Be my Valentine?"

That joke apparently never gets old!

LOL "Have a heart!" Oh, Dean.

Seriously, SOMEONE come up with a convincing argument to me that Dean isn't actually a rapid-cycling bipolar. He is EXACTLY how I was before medication, with the added bonus of drinking too much when he's depressed.

AND I LOVE HOW BITCHY THAT SENTENCE WAS, SAM! \o/ I MISSED THE BITCHY "We're working, Dean!"

Sam! You're staring at it!

Aww, good old casefic stuff. I missed the research, the watching of video footage. Anyone else remember "Okey-dokey?"

Dean, dude, stop avoiding your girlfriend!

"Rubbed her feet during 'Glee'." LOL

Don't worry, guys. You're only nine minutes into the episode. Someone else will die and you'll totally get more clues. :D

See? There he is! Random Extra Number Two, dead for your convenience!

No, no, Random Extre Number Two, that's not Johnny. Although a "Heeeeere's Johnny!" joke woud work well here.

WHY DOES NO ONE SCREAM WHEN THEIR FOREHEAD GETS SLICED OPEN?

Oh, gory. Very gory.

The mannequins aren't even taking body parts, though. What's their motivation? They register on EMF, they make the room go cold like ghosts... possessed mannequins?

Sam's hair is still kempt. I am pleased.

Sam, dude, you can TRY to be discreet with the EMF meter, but it's not built for that.

I LOVE THAT FACE SAM JUST MADE! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO CALL IT, BUT I LOVE IT!

OH MY GOD! DEAN AND HIS FAAAAACE!

No, Sam, it doesn't add up.

And yes, Dean, it IS creepy. I totally agree. *shudder*

Poor Random Extra Number Two, your death has revealed nothing.

ANSWER YOUR PHONE, DEAN!

Holy crap.

Lisa won't get out of bed? How very Twilight of her. She better be actually sick, or something properly wrong with her, because if she's pining for Dean I will never forgive Show for this. Hopefully it's just Ben laying bait for Dean.

Yay for Sammy taking charge!

And further yay for Sammy being awesome with witnesses. :)

Hey, a link! Everybody worked at the factory!

So is it Rose, or something related to her? Or maybe something that contributed to her disappearance.

Oh, hey, nervous-looking greasy-haired dude. You are LYING through your teeth, and Sam is onto you. You cannot outsmart Sammy, he is the SMARTEST. What did you do to Rose, asshole?

Sam is SO onto you! I can tell by that pinched look on his face.

Dean, dude, ringing once is enough!

Hee! Parent-trapped. Awesome.

Lisa looks gorgeous!

Maybe it's a GIRL, Dean!

Damn. Maybe Dr. Matt is a girl. *cough*

LOL Simultaneous parenting FTW!

I love how she assumes Sam would survive something even if Dean is dead.

I actually kind of wanted to hear Dean's answer to that.

Hah! Johnny's freaking out. And now his head is getting sliced open, and HE'S not screaming either. Sheesh.

YAY SAMMY! \o/ SAVING THE DAY!

"That was a ghost trying to kill you for being a dick!"

LOL Sammy. :D Most suspicious interview ever!

Wow, Johnny, you are a real fucktard. Speaking as the kind of girl who used to be on the receiving end of jokes like that, let me say on behalf of us all: FUCK YOU.

Johnny, you're still a fucktard, but at least you're a guilty-feeling fucktard.

SAMMY IS JUDGING YOU, JOHNNY, AND HE IS RIGHT TO DO SO.

Yay, a Dean and Ben moment!

Plants vs zombies

LOL holy crap, Dean's face! "I watch TV, I know what that means!"

We don't need the sappy music, Show. We GET that this is an emotional moment. Christ on a cracker, you're ruining it for me.

Ben's got a point. They love you even though you're a dick. That's something. "Family don't end with blood, boy."

Sam, something tells me this isn't over...

Neat little Dean/Lisa montage, oh no, Dean-Lisa-Ben montage, probably designed to break my heart. *sigh* Please tell me we haven't seen the last of her. I know people don't like Lisa, but I'd love to see her storyline resolved better than this.

Isn't that Rose's sister?

OMG WTF JOHNNY WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?

WHAT THE FUCK?

Was she human before, or has he been living an elaborately creepy fantasy with this real doll thing? GYAAAAAAAH!

Well, it has to be over, since all the douchebags who killed her are dead, right?

She's attached to her sister. Yikes.

ORGAN DONATION!

Dude, this is problematic.

You can't salt and burn the sister.

Can I say THANK GOD SAM HAS HIS SOUL BACK! OTHERWISE THAT GIRL WOULD BE ALREADY DEAD.

THE IMPALA IS NOT A SEX DOLL!

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE, SHOW! VERY NICE NOD TO THE PILOT! \o/

Oh, fuck.

Well, that wasn't going to end well, no matter what.

Woah. Has Bobby moved up in the world? I don't remember Singer Salvage looking this swanky before.

Aww, Sammy. Your pep talks are sweet, if ineffective. *pets the puppy*

AWWWWW!

*draws teeny-tiny hearts all around Sammy*

I DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS EPISODE. ALL THE SITUATIONS SUCKED, EVERYBODY LOST, AND YET SAM AND DEAN ARE AWESOME.

This was a very entertaining stream-of-consciousness. :)

That's all I ever aim for. :D

Snooki. She's entertaining.

I was gonna say something else here, but I've managed to blank on it. You see what you did? It's all your fault! I might be yelling at Snooki there, but I'm honestly not sure!

This We don't need the sappy music, Show. We GET that this is an emotional moment. Christ on a cracker, you're ruining it for me.
GRRRR

Are you growling at me? :(

LOL

Oh, Dean. When does he ever find the time to watch trashy TV?

He's got skills, man. Who knows?

Well, we got an amazing 1.5 minutes of Limp!Sam. That's something.

"How do you feel?"

"Like I got hit with a planet."

The ghost was still around because there was an inconspicuous fourth guy in the apartment (when I was watching I kept getting confused because I never got a good look at him-but I'm sure he was there because 3rd victim guy was talking to someone on the phone about Rose, so there was another guy involved). And I don't know if ghosts would necessarily move on once their revenge was complete-they might just move on to hurting innocents.

I agree with you last statement a lot. I'm also unsure of what to think-but when Sam and Dean were together they were awesome!

I went into this episode not expecting much but came out having quite enjoyed it, but then, I've always thought that mannequins were a bit creepy - something to do with their strange blank faces, I think. :D

Honestly, I think Ben got one of the best lines of the season to date, "You say family is the most important thing to you, but then you walk out on us." (paraphrased)

Dean, you know I love you. But....What About That?

I am not a big Dean/Lisa shipper, I just wanna see a little more conflict from Dean-o over this point. After all, "Family" is the 2" X 4" the show wields most often in when making a point about morals or choices.

Oh, and I am glad I am not the only one who saw the Impala crashing into a building as a nod back to the Lady in White. ;)

I don't know how I feel about the 'wrap up' conversation at Bobby's: I mean, since when has life not sucked for hunters? Isn't that how almost all of them get started in the business in the first place? Haven't we heard the, "You Can't Win Em All Kiddo" speech a number of times? Isn't saving the ones you can the point?

*sigh*

insomnia! it does crazy things to the brain and TV viewing habits. also, i agree with your lulzy commentary. yay for the boys!

It's something. I expected better from Sera. ;)

Oh, okay! I never noticed the fourth guy. Clearly he was enough of a douchebag not to merit a speaking role. ;)

And you have a point about spirits hurting innocents instead of moving on. I hadn't thought of that.

But yay Sam and Dean!

Soooo creepy! I had no idea what the episode was about (I don't even watch previews for SPN), so I enjoyed it tremendously. :)

Ben did get one of the best lines this season! Dean is such a mess of contradictions, I don't even know where to begin.

I'm not a Dean/Lisa shipper, but I've always liked Lisa and I'm... ambivalent about how Show is developing her character this season. I hope they do her justice in the end. And a little more conflict from Dean over this would be nice, I agree.

The car coming to life and chasing Dean? Totally a nod to Constance Welch. :D

The wrap-up conversation was... odd. But then, we have never heard Sam give Dean the "you can't save 'em all" speech before. It was always the other way around, and it was always Dean's mantra, something he would say almost by rote every time something went wrong. Dean's faith in hunting is wavering this season, if not broken, and I'm hoping that we're going to see him re-embrace the good parts of the life that he used to enjoy so much.

All i can say is, I blanked out a little when Dean pulled Sam off the floor...my mind went to, erm, more interesting places for a minute there! LOL *fans self*

Mannequins are creepy. If I passed one outside a window shop at night while the shop iteself is closed, i made sure my eyes aren't anywhere near the face!

No babe! I'm growling AGAIN at that stupid music! We iz not 5 years old!

Okay, good. Just checking. I was worried for a sec. :)

Heh. I was hoping for a little more from that scene, but I guess Show decided we'd seen enough of Sam with killer headaches. I dunno. I can't see them getting it on, either, when Sam is feeling like he's been hit by a planet. ;)

Yeah, Dean is usually the one talking Sammy down from his emo-high (emo-low? talking him up? IDK, I got nothing... *grin*). On the other hand, we've seen Dean go through the motions of throwing in the towel before (post-Hell). That time was not about choosing a life other than hunting, it was pretty much pure self-annihilation, but he was pretty far gone on the Fuck It All train back then.

You are very right, Dean is Captain Contradiction at times. He doesn't want family, gets bullied by Sam into going to Ben and Lisa, goes, gets nice and cozy, refuses Sam's offer to return to hunting, ends up following Sam anyway once he gets a whiff of Bad-Sammy on the lurk, makes some bass-ackwards deal with Lisa to split the difference, attempts to eat her, ignores her calls (which BTW - nice moves there slick *eye roll*), then shows up and is still confused about what he wants.

I just....*throws arms up in the air*

I am seriously displeased with what they have done with Lisa, making her into some sort of perfect, bendy foil to Dean's conflicted family needs. I liked her, and then she picked a pretty boy-toy over her kids well-being (until the boy-toy turned vamp anyway), not cool. Where is the Lisa I respected, the one that practically took Dean's head off for encouraging her son to get in a fight with other kids his age? *shakes head*

That girl stood up for herself, what gives? I don't buy the "She's In Luvs!" excuse; unless she already lacked a spine to begin with, being a mother seems to make one *less* likely to put up with this sort of crap.

/o\

Sorry about that, it seems I accidentally pulled on my 'ranty pants' when getting dressed this morning.

*blushes*

As it happens, I agree entirely with what you said, so rant away!

*chuckle*

Thank you! I've had a cup of coffee now and feel much more human. *grin*

Since I currently have my own cup of coffee in hand, I can only agree with this sentiment as well. Are you sure you're not me? ;)

Are you sure you're not me? ;)

Shhhhhh! Remember, the first rule of Being Ratherastory Club is...

Oh and by the way? That was NOT northeastern New Jersey. For one thing, the couple million Black people were all conspicuously elsewhere.

LOL

*is very quiet*

*assumes Lotus Position*

*carefully doesn't talk about being herself*

*snort*

*dies laughing*

Oh, Show. More fail.

I'm guessing it was more Vancouver than New Jersey. ;)

There are no small towns centered around factories, there are no factory workers who own neat houses in neat neighborhoods, and there are almost no white people in Paterson.

There is a community college in Paterson, though. It's boringly called Passaic County College. The waterfront area is called Great Falls, though which would be where they got Great Falls Junior College.

Whatever, I still get a buzz whenever a TV show admits that community colleges exist. Half the freshmen in the country are in 2-year schools, but TV doesn't usually think we're interesting.

I love your stream of consciousness. It's funny to see where our feelings on things were the same and different.

I have to say, I loved this episode waaaay more than the previous one. Me "Arachnids?! Seriously? I can buy dragons because there's lore about them turning human, but Arachnids??"... Ahem.

Yea, Dean is totally bi-polar.

I was hoping Sam would take the drugs. Drugs with Limp!Sam are always good!

Can I just say, love the prolific use of fucktard. So much.

Hee!

Johnny pissed me off.

*giggle*
