While I'm in a posting mood...
I need an explanation for the Season 4 premiere, because I am missing something.
When Dean and Bobby go to find Sam in that motel in Pontiac, Ruby is there. She's introduced as "Cathy" or "Chrissy," or whatever, but it's definitely Ruby.
She then completely fails to recognize Dean, back from hell, along with Bobby (whom she's met at least once, in "Sin City"). Or at least pretends to.
Sam then apparently lies through his teeth to Dean about the girl. This after the massive, massive shock of getting his brother back from Hell. He later lies through his teeth some more when he says Ruby's dead.
So. Is that a continuity error? Did Ruby somehow manage to convey to Sam that she didn't want him to reveal her identity to Dean?
It's driving me nuts.

the fact that he can cover up so quickly after Dean is back, just strikes me as wrong.
Exactly! Where is the wears-his-emotions-on-his-sleeve Sam from the end of Season 3? I'm willing to buy that he disappears over the course of Season 4, but that initial scene strikes me as being crappily written.
