Oh, I was totally amused by Dean getting his Western fangeek on. Sammy was into magic; apparently Dean was into westerns. I guess I just felt kind of embarrassed for him every time one of his conceptions was destroyed, he was like a little kid who'd had a toy snatched away. It was very S1 Dean, and . . . I guess I just feel like he's grown beyond that. Or something. And the longer it went on, the more sorry I felt for him. (Though, Dean? You should totally know that saloon girls were not the healthiest of people.) It was funny, but at the same time, I felt bad for him. I don't know. It's hard for me to explain.

That's not to say I didn't thoroughly enjoy the ep. The rest of it was great fun, and I liked the way they tide things together. So, you know. It was a minor bump in the road in an otherwise enjoyable ride.

As for Rachel, what little I'd heard of her (Castiel gets an ally, a lieutenant), I was expecting her to be someone. I was very surprised that they introduced her and killed her off in the same ep. Why mention her at all at ComicCon if she's a one-shot bit player?
