SPN - 6.18

What fun! Hee!

Dean finds the clue!

Dean does like the early Trek movies, doesn't he. Bwah!

Canon confirmation that Dean likes Eastwood movies. (And John Wayne movies. And old movies in general, especially Westerns.)

Going native: Oh, Dean.

Elkins!

Cas, what are you doing? *flail*

Yay the phoenix isn't completely evil!

Deadwood. Bwah!

Pony Express! *flaility flail*

The only part that bothered me is making Dean the comic relief when it's not particularly fitting. Possibly because it seems a scooch OOC after this season. It just didn't sit totally right with me. It just seems like a bit of character regression. Still, he was the competent leader of this expedition in spite of that, so yay.

And I'll let the peeve slide because:

Best part of the ep: hopeful ending! We havin't had one of those that made me happy like this in . . . forever. "We take the fight to her." Reminiscent of John at the end of "Dead Man's Blood."

Yay, Show!

Hey, those writers like that kind of humor so they always write it for Dean especially so i handwaved it and enjoyed the rest of the ep.

Yes, and Jensen likes to play that kind of humor, so I usually go along with it. This time, upon first viewing, it seemed a little bit forced. I might change my mind upon further viewing, and it wasn't enough to detract from the ep as a whole.

And I was so tickled with the way they wove everything together.

And seeing Dean in a MacIntosh duster and cowboy hat. So, you know, that' was fantastic. No Jensen on horseback, but I don't think Dean would have been a particularly good rider anyway.

I was listening to the Winchesters Brothers podcast after the ep last night, and Guy Bee said Jensen would go riding with the horse ranglers every day during the lunch break. He got his horsey on!
