I LOVE ANDY!!! And I was very bummed when he was offed. He was likable and a potential ally. I remember there being a big 'ol dust up on TWOP (when isn't there) about Andy being a date rapist because he'd mind tricked a blond girl into sleeping with him. But I beg to argue that was not necessarily the case. There was no evidence he did that. We only see the girl waving and blowing him a kiss goodbye. We don't see him saying anything to her at all. It's not out of the question that she genuinely liked him. Maybe not as a permanant boyfriend but as... well... an "afternoon delight" Who knows, maybe he got her backstage tickets to Aerosmith and won her heart. But Andy struck me as too genuine a guy to be that devious. No evidence he used his powers to take advantage of anyone except bill collectors, guys with coffee and dudes with sweet Impalas. (Moral of that story, it's usually best to steer clear of TWOP)
Andy had such potential as a character. I wish he'd stuck around into later seasons. But was not to be.
Other stuff I liked about this epi. Flashback continuity. The sink in the hardware store becoming the sink Sam was leaning over as he flashed back.
STONEHENGE! Perfect theme song to Andy's van. Dean's insistence on Andy's innocence really reflecting his feelings about Sam.
And yet again, those lovely twists I adored so in the early seasons. It seems like Andy! It's gotta be Andy! He has the power of mind control! He was seen on a cell phone just before the Doctor bought it... but nope! Evil Twin! And it's that bus boy we met earlier! MA HA!
One more thing to toss out. Some folks have said that Dean calls Sam "Babe" in this episode. It's right when they find the van and he apparently says "Babe, you look like you're sucking on a lemon!" I've watched it many many times and yep... I'm pretty sure he says it. Make of that what you will.
