llywelaYou'd think, being unemployed and all, that I'd have more time on my hands than I know what to do with. It isn't working out that way! So this recap has been pulled together and edited in fits and starts - please let me know if you spot any glaring errors.
Oh, Dean. Oh, Sam. Oh, boys. I found myself repeating those three phrases over and over while writing this! There are 27 pages this time, in which I ramble on about the brothers' respective states of mind going into this case, the keeping of secrets, return to form regarding witness interviews versus breaks in pattern at home, Dean's ability to be both good cop and bad cop all rolled into one and the contrast between the Sam'n'Dean perspective of this week versus the outsider perspective last week, Sam driving a rental, Sam looking fabulous in his suit, Dean looking lovely in his suit, Dean's reaction to his father's voice, the downward spiral of desperation, Dean's terror versus Sam's determined effort to remain rational, brothers and blinkers, the manipulative and sadistic nature of the Crocotta and the ripping open of old wounds, Dean's need for salvation, the weakness and inconsistency of the plot, brotherly loggerheads and role reversal, Sam's isolation, how terrifyingly little time remains, and much more besides.

most likely a victim of the cost thing, they could vary the locations a bit though from just car and bed. Even if it was just sitting on other bits of furniture in the room.
The new episode has a really nice scene of action dialogue - Sam on the laptop and Dean eating while they talk. And it is brilliant, so natural and believable and brotherly. I want more conversations like that!

It can be done!
The maggots made me laugh after what we were saying last night. And I was going to mention eyeballs too. Eyeballs, now they do make me squirm.
