Fan Video of the Week: Supernatural Reflections 13.21 “Beat the Devil”
“The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection” ― Thomas Paine
Round and round we go, where we stop, nobody knows! Sam and Lucifer have played quite the cat and mouse game for many years. You could say Lucifer is Sam’s ultimate nemesis. In reflection of this and the videos, that is my topic for today. In a way Sam sees Lucifer as his reflection that he can’t escape – always in Sam’s mind, and present, like his own reflection on the surface of disturbed water. As a trivia bit of information, I have listed every episode in which Sam has died. It is always “funny” to think we have a show where even the main character has died multiple times.
Sam has died in these episodes:
Sam dies in 2.21 All Hell Breaks Loose: Part One after being literally and figuratively back stabbed by Jake Talley.
Sam dies of a lightning strike induced by a wish from Hope Lynn Casey in 4.08 Wishful Thinking.
Sam nearly dies of asphyxia after Zachariah removes his lungs in 5.01 Sympathy for the Devil.
Sam dies when Anna stabs him in the gut, reversed a few minutes later by Michael in 5.13 The Song Remains the Same.
Sam dies when angry hunters shoot both him and Dean for Sam’s role in starting the Apocalypse in 5.16 Dark Side of the Moon.
Sam dies of unknown causes after jumping into Lucifer’s Cage to trap Lucifer inside in 5.23 Swan Song.
Sam dies after Billie causes him and Dean to become temporarily incapacitated and momentarily revived to escape Site 94 in 12.09 First Blood.
Sam is believed to be dead after a shot in the gut and critically injured. Corbin smothers Sam to unconsciousness and declares that he’s dead in 11.17 Red Meat .
Sam dies of exsanguination after having his jugular vein ripped out by a vampire in Apocalypse World until he is revived by Lucifer in 13.21 Beat the Devil.
Enjoy the videos!

Zombie by Bad Wolves
(originally by The Cranberries)
Another head hangs lowly
Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence causes silence
Who are we mistaken?
But you see, it’s not me
It’s not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their drones
In your head, in your head, they are crying
What’s in your head, in your head?
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
What’s in your head, in your head?
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie-ie, oh
Another mother’s breaking
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It’s the same old theme
In two thousand eighteen
In your head, in your head, they’re still fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their guns, and their drones
In your head, in your head, they are dying
What’s in your head, in your head?
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
What’s in your head, in your head?
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie-ie, oh
It’s the same old theme
In two thousand eighteen
In your head, in your head, they are dying
What’s in your head, in your head?
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
What’s in your head, in your head?
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie-ie, oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah

Quotes
Rowena: Fine. This isn’t how you wanted things to work out, but yes, Rowena, thanks to you, Sam and Dean’ll be trapped in some sort of nightmare universe with the Devil himself. And you’re the only person who might be able to devise a way to keep the door back home open for them. But… Sorry, boys. Au revoir, bon voyage, not my problem. Bollocks! Bums bollocks.
Lucifer: I want what you already have — a relationship with my son. Okay, there was a time that I would, you know, just grab him, but… I’ve grown.
Sam: Yeah, sure you have.
Lucifer: I have, Samuel. I want my son, and you’re gonna help me.
Lucifer: Look, Sammy, I’m — I’m not asking you to — to like it or to like me. All I’m asking is that you acknowledge the truth, that I was the one who brought you back to life, that I was the one who lifted you from the darkness and into the light. Okay? Apocalypse World, Michael’s armies — you really think you and your family can handle that stuff alone? You need me.

Trivia and Minutiae
Sam: But we drained you.Sam: But we drained you.Lucifer: So how did I have the juice to pull off my little Lazarus trick? Uh, that’s a long story, but I was basically tracking you here, and then I came across a handful of Michael’s angels and I… ate ’em. I guess it’s not really a long story, is it?
In the Christian New Testament, Lazarus of Bethany was a man who was raised from the dead by Jesus and whose story is recounted in the Gospel of John.
Sam: What do you want?Sam: What do you want?Lucifer: What do I want? I want what everyone wants. I want a personal apology from Pop. I want rerun-free, year-round episodes of Drag Race.
RuPaul’s Drag Race is a reality TV show hosted by the eponymous RuPaul in which drag queens compete for the title of America’s Next Drag Superstar. At the time of this episode’s airing, Drag Race ran in the same time slot on a different channel.
There are a number of references to the fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings. In the novel, the Fellowship has to choose between taking a safe route around a mountain, or the more treacherous path through the tunnels. They choose the tunnels, where they are attacked by Orcs. One of their members, Gandalf, succumbs during the attack, but is later resurrected. During ADR for the episode, Richard Speight did the line, “You shall not pass!” which Gandalf says during the climactic battle. Watch it here.
