Oh, I totally understand about state of mind affecting enjoyment of a show. Glad you liked it better the second time around.

I've got a paragraph in my long and rambly that talks about Dean as messiah figure. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that's what they're going for. Of course we Dean girls have seen it for a long time, it's just never been quite so . . . blatant? . . . before.

I'll try to post about my Cali adventures in a day or two. Still recovering.
