"I'm not sure I like the idea of Andy doing this to people for fun, if this is the effect it has. I'm guessing, though, that the long-distance thing comes into play here – his techniques are probably more refined up close, but from this distance, and not really knowing where Dean is, it works out a lot more crudely."
I don't think it has anything to do with the distance. Remember that in 'Simon Said' when Andy forces the 'confession' out of Dean, Dean doubles over with a severe headache as well. Interestingly enough all other people we see Andy do mind-control on show no sign of discomfort, so maybe it has more to do with how forceful and urgent Andy slams into the other mind.
But it's still kind of sad to note that this family friend has proved more stalwart in support of the boys than their own father, that he has come through for them every time they've asked for help, whereas John never even returned their calls.
Geez, that's what exactley my thought was when Bobby showed up this episode again. He always comes through for the boys, always. No hesitation and he has been in some deep stuff with them together. So much more a father figure than John in the last year. ♥
Although how much of what the Demon tells him can be trusted implicitly is another matter entirely – demons lie, twist the truth ..
You know,reading that I realized that in all the time of SN we uhm actually have to come a across a demon that flat out lied to the boys. *lol* .. twisting the truth, hell yeah, but lying? Not one as far as I remember.
Great Review, as always. I am still crying whenever I only read of that damn endscene. Wished it was friday already /sigh
