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!

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?
