I suspected you probably already knew about the casting. :-)

I . . . have no use for fandom wank. I kinda liked Adam, in a peripheral sort of way. And Jake seems like a very cool guy. So I'll be very interested in seeing him back. (Oh, I should probably go put a spoiler warning in my entry.)

What I think could be really interesting (and would cause fandom to implode on an epic level)? If Adam had been a sister. Here's my reasoning: We know how both Sam and Dean react to and interact with having a brother. We haven't seen either one of them with a sister. Jo was the closest, and I liked that vibe with her and Dean, but Jo wanted more back then. I'd like to see them with an an actual "We have a little sister?" type of thing going. Ya know? (No, I don't read sister fic. I'd prefer to see he on Show rather than in my fic.)

"Hell House" is one of my fave eps, and one that I showed my mom when I was showing her my new favorite TV show. It's got everything--interesting case story, nifty twist, banter, action, stand-alone for newcomers, the whole enchilada.

I might do that again this summer--re-watch all my DVDs.
