“Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things”
--Robin’s Rambles, Robin Vogel
 
Weirdest title ever! So we have Angela, who loves Matt who is loved by Neil (unrequited). Angela, learning that Matt cheated on her with her roommate, Lindsay, ends up in a car accident, dies, and is resurrected as a nasty zombie by Neil, who hides her, has sex with her and doesn’t seem to realize she killed Matt and is trying to kill Lindsay, too.
 
Got that? 
 
Into this mess rides Sam and Dean. Sam wants to visit Mom’s headstone, something Dean is dead set against (pun unintended). He sees no reason to visit a headstone with no body there; Mom burned up in the fire, so nothing was left but ashes. In a touching scene, Sam buries John’s dog tags in top of Mary’s grave, telling her he feels John wants her to have these. “I love you, Mom,” he says. Dean, who had originally said he was going to go to the Roadhouse and drink while Sam performed this task, instead finds a hunt—there is dead grass, a dead tree, dead everything surrounding Angela Mason’s grave, and he wants to check it out what appears to be a demonic presence. Sam finds it odd, Dean’s stumbling onto a hunt here of all places.

What's Love Got To Do With It? PDF Print E-mail

What's love got to do with it?

Bonjour, ladies and gentlemen, it's that most wonderfully magical time of the year when the ladies once again lament the loathsome state of their gentlemen because said gentlemen aren't genteel or generally thoughtful enough, thus leading to relationship gangrene. Or so the multimedia Hallmark commodification process would have us believe.

Yet, as we all know, even for those of us that are the inferior creative offspring of Catullus and Ronsard and Swinburne, there's much more to this masterfully maddening abstraction than cheap confections, droopy, overpriced flowers, a trip to the orchestra, a candlelight dinner and subsequent shenaningans 'neath the sheets between consenting adults (not that there’s anything wrong with those last three, right, dearest wife?), not to mention the oxytocin and vasopressin world of cold, impersonal science. And if you've watched Supernatural over its 4+ seasons, you know the engine that drives the brothers on their quest to save as many people as they possibly can isn't fortune and glory ("Straitjacket. Or a punch in face. Sometimes both.") worthy of Indiana Jones, but, in the broadest of terms, love. Think I'm crazy? That's beside the point. Read on nevertheless, mes amis.

Recap - "Swap Meat" PDF Print E-mail

Okay, sometimes the mediocre and bad episodes are more fun to recap than the good ones. They’re easier at least. Let’s see if that’s true here or not. 
Interesting how there’s no “Now” or “Then” segment. We go straight to a bar and one nice looking older lady is in there having a watered down margarita. There’s this place around the corner from here that does the best “Mango” ritas. They’re so thick you can stand a spoon up in them. One sip and I’m talking in Spanish and I don’t even know the language. In walks in our strapping Sam Winchester and just by the goofy look on his face we can tell he’s out of character. Especially when he says “I would like to purchase some alcohol please.” Then he flashes his ID proudly announcing he’s 26. Is it me are does he seem a lot older than that? The bartender rolls his eyes, not in the mood for the goofy behavior. If it were me, I’d be humoring him. Especially when he orders a banana daiquiri. I’d be all over that! “Wow, what a great choice for a sasquatch like you. It doesn’t threaten your manliness at all! Want some extra fruit with that? Oh, and I’ll make sure you get the purple umbrella.”
 

Here’s a clue this isn’t Sam either, just in case we didn’t pick up on it. “Sam” greets Crystal with a handshake of his left hand. Sam isn’t left handed. Plus he says his name is Gary, which is actually true. “Gary, I don’t want to embarrass you, but you are just a stunning looking man.” Lucky chick. She gets to say in person what we dream of saying to his face every day! The answer though is priceless. With one huge grin he answers, “I know, right?” Then he looks at himself in the mirror and plays with his hair. Man, why couldn’t we see Jared act like Gary through the whole episode. That would have been awesome!

“Bloodlust”
--Robin’s Rambles
by Robin Vogel
 
To the tune of “Back in Black,” the newly-restored Impala returns! Dean is doing so much cooing, Sam suggests they get a room. It’s obvious both brothers are thrilled to be riding in the beautiful car again, on the road and on a case involving cattle mutilation and a dumb sheriff named Manners who denies it all when they show up claiming to be from Weekly World News (or World Weekly News as Dean calls it. (LOL!)
 
Gordon Walker! This is his episode introduction, where he becomes, briefly, a father figure for Dean and a subject of suspicion and hatred for Sam.
