Top Ten Supernatural Antagonists – #8 and 9
So what does Dean learn from all this? That with Casey’s simple, easy and logical approach to human conquest, by catering the moral depravity of man in general, the human race is pretty much dooming itself. He also gets to see the other side of faith and finds Casey’s unwavering loyalty for Lucifer no more irrational than those that believe in God. She earns his respect enough where he asks her about Hell, and finally hears from someone with the proper insight the horrific doom he’s about to face. She’s the one that starts convincing him he’s in denial about his fate.
The conversation closes with more troubling news about Sam. Dean listens to all this with a brave face, but we see in his eyes how much what he’s hearing hurts. The yellow eyed demon had a name, Azazel, and Sam was to be his second in command. Now Azazel’s death has caused chaos, which doesn’t bode well for Sam. Then Casey honestly admits she would have followed Sam. By this time Dean is more smitten with Casey than anything, and sees that some demons aren’t that evil after all.
The clips of those two together are just too long to show, and one part didn’t stand out over another, so just put on “Sin City” somewhere around the 18 minute mark and enjoy.

Good choices Alice.
Loved the Pagan Gods. Inspired characters indeed! Scary Ozzie and Harriet.
Supernatural Christmas is my most beloved comfort episode. Especially the boys at the end with their egg nog and the snow falling outside the window on the Impala. Gets the tears flowing every time.
And I really liked Casey. Such a good actress to make a demon likeable. I was sorry Sam killed her and would have liked to see her again. She was a sexy beast!
Hi, Alice,
I liked Casey as well, and while EK admitted in an interview that they revealed too much in that dialogue in Sin City he seems to have abated that a bit now that S4 is closed…a lot of it makes a lot of sense. FOr all that long dialogue it is a rich scene (or two) between Dean and Casey and there is much to be gleaned from it.
As for pagan gods…I love SPN Christmas, it’s ghoulishly fun (and now we’ve even met ghouls), sad and lonely and dark and depressing and all in all one to watch often, whilst hugging your kitty and puppy, at least that’s how I watch it.
🙂
Alice, good choices for 8 and 9.
The pagan gods are fantastic characters – their perky niceness is just erie and the whole torture scene, while I still can’t watch the nail being removed, has it’s great moments. The “fudge” line is one of my all time favourites, along with Dean, pliers in his mouth attached to a molar when the door bell rings -“Is somebody gonna get that? You should get that.”
Casey was a good character. Since I didn’t watch season 3 live, I wasn’t aware there was controversy/issue with the revelations in that conversation. I simply enjoyed the chemistry between the two and Dean’s reaction to Sam shooting Casey – it really demonstrated that she’d struck a chord within him.
I eagerly await choice 7!
I totally forgot how Dean wanted a demon to live. It bothers me that he chided Sam for consorting with Ruby. Cassie had nothing to offer him Dean but he didn’t want to kill her or preached that all demons are evil spiel, but Ruby initially did before we knew her true intentions.
What do you know, both brothers were once upon a time convinced that some demons didn’t weren’t bad. Glad we find out the opposite.
I can’t watch the finger-nails and pliars bit, it’s too gruesome 😮
Casey and Dean definitely fizzed, shame she had to die but you can’t go round getting all snuggly with the opposition, can you? Oh … hang on a sec …
The pagan gods were beyong fantastic. Their over the top christmas decorations reminded me of my aunt’s house and still makes me giggle whenever I am over there.
Casey the demon I am a little more on the fence about. I thought the character (and actor) were great, but when Dean tried to stop Sam from killing her I was jolted a little bit. She was a demon after all.
Nice choices.
Now what is this about Sam being partial to brunettes? How about Cassie (Route 666) and Lisa Braden?? Or Dean’s dream girl from WIAWSNB? I think both boys are brunette partial.

Being the sadist that I am, I absolutely love the Carrigans, simply because of the torture scene. I find it amazing that Dean could still be snarky in that instance. And once again, poor Sam bears most of the brunt on the torture front. The boys’ escape was wonderful… I was thinking to myself ‘saved by the bell’ hahah
Casey’s exchange with Dean was crackling with chemistry, I loved it! I was half-hoping that we could get to see more of her character, and then Sam went and offed her, and the way he did it gave me the chills too…
Tigershire, I’m with you there. Although I feel that there is some evidence to the contrary, on the whole I’d say both boys prefer brunettes..
Alice,
Are you forgetting about Jessica? She’s blonde. Course, considering what happened, maybe Sam’s unconsciously choosing brunettes???
And true, I agree about Dean – hair colour really doesn’t seem to be important for him although the three girls he’s been anywhere near serious about were brunettes.
And yes, this is just for fun. I don’t think the writers or anyone involved in the show was choosing specific hair colour for any reason. GRIN
