WTF, THIS STUPID PUSSYCAT DOLLS AD IS STILL/AGAIN THERE! DIE, YOU ANNOYING THING, DIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Why is Lisa in the Previously? What, Bela? NO!
OMG, Bobby! Before the title sequence! But, but...usually people die in that bit. Oh hey, I have a new thing on my list to do list: Count how many teasers have no one getting killed. Happens more often then we're thinking, I think. What is Bobby doing in a hotel? You know, except for being found.
Oh noes, Sammy, don't become an alcoholic, okay? Wait, chick flick moment in public? Okay, it's Sam, but Dean could get all emo too. But listening to Sammy is more important, aw. Sam's starting to think that even Ruby can't save Dean, heh. Sam reminds me of Bobby when he asks Dean what's wrong with him.
How much do we love that Dean is Bobby's emergency contact? ♥!
In Bobby's research Sam finds an obit for a man named Walter. I remember reading that Sera Gamble likes to use an ex's name for characters, and this ep was co-written by her. That is the howmanyth time that this name was used?
And Dean wears a suit again. I really should make a suit season wallpaper, hee. "The other detective"...*sigh* Bobby dressed up as a detective and we didn't get to see it :o(. Ahaha, how Dean is saying Miss Dr. Gregg's Assistant could come to the station later. Lucky she didn't agree ^^. Ooh, I'd like to do it all official-like with Dean...ahem.
Ferns-growing guy offers Dean a beer and because Sam isn't there to bitchface at him Dean takes the beer. Oh, Dean *shakes head*. And the acid trip thing? I'm shocked, Detective!

Aw.


^^ I love this little exchange: "Crap." - "What?" - "Bela." - "Bela? Crap."
OMG, Sam seems to be dreaming. Because, really! O_ô Bela? ... OMG, OMG, I'm feeling sick. Can it be over now, please? OH, THANK GOD! I had my hands in front of my face, seriously guys! I never do that.

OMG, Sam's smile (and the drool ^^)...


and how it turns into this OMG WTF face.


Anyway, Bela is bringing the dreamroot, so I'm wondering if she decided to try it and do a little mindfuck (Ahaha, geddit?). Or maybe Kripke and Co. just wanted to screw with us. Like "See, we don't actually have to make it canon to show you what you never wanted to see!". But hey, those people who wanted to see it can now happily make icons and wallpapers and vids and stuff from it.
Dean asks who Sam dreamed about and when he seems to change the subject Sam gets only seconds to be glad and stop looking like WTF. Because the other subject is Bela. Sam is acting so hilariously. Bela doesn't want to help, phew! Probably because she hasn't forgotten Dean's threat to kill her. Then there's someone at the door and it's Bela. Dammit. Oh, but the good thing is we get some more Sam acting all weird.
We get to see for a bit what's in the safe that it makes me think it's gonna be important. I wish I has recognized what's in there.

Mmm, Polyjuice Potion!


Haha, you actually gotta put something from the person into whose dreams you want to go into the drink. Now I really hope that Sam didn't accidently collect cat's hair or something ^^.

She looks a bit like Bela.


OMG, WTF, she's Bobby's wife! And we get backstory!
Ferns-growing guy! Btw, I'm so sure I've seen him somewhere before! But the IMDb says I haven't. Maybe he reminds me of someone? Becky's brother from Skin maybe?
Awwwww! Dean says Bobby's like a father to him. I mean, we knew that, but that Dean actually said it. Aw!
Wow, good timing with the waking up, Bobby! That was close. So we get confirmation that what Bobby told Dean in his dream really happened. Poor Bobby. So Jeremy got Bobby's DNA from a beer bottle. ...Oh Dean. Does that make my theory that Bela tested the dream root on Sam impossible? Maybe she had some Sam DNA. Who knows...
I don't think it's a good idea that Dean is driving the Impala when he hasn't slept in two days.
Oh Dean, I wouldn't let anyony dig around in my head either, not even my family. Is that sad? Well, there's nothing Dean can do, and Sam gets to witness that sweet dream (How did Sam make the Polyjuice Potion? Did they have something left from before?): Lisa and picnic and Ben, aw! "I've never had this dream before." Aw, of course not, hee. Man, I love it when I don't have to dl a song for my Supernatural soundtrack collection, when I can just move it from one folder to the other.

Hey, the filmed that outside! See, there's the raindrop of proof on Lisa's shoulder.


Heh, it's so weird to hear Dean say "Hey Dean". Two Deans, that reminds me of Skin. God, I loved that episode. Anyway, Dean and Dean have an interesting conversation. Dean is his own worst nightmare - I wonder if he has trouble admitting it to himself or if he just reacts that way because he thinks he's talking to Jeremy.

Heh, Sammy is our Demon Jesus.


Oooh, the leather jacket was also John's. *sigh* That's whole Dean vs. Dean scene is so great and I would love to write about every little thing, but I don't have the talent with words that I'd need for that. God, that's so depressing sometimes. Dean kills Dean and that reminded me of Skin again. So um, yeah...when I first watched that scene I was pretty confused. Now I can make more sense of it and wow, I'm proud of Dean! Because the way I understand it, he finally killed the part of him that said he was worthless. And...ah, well...you know, right?
ZOMG, demon!Dean! Ooh, we finally got a black eyed Dean. Was about time, wasn't it? Now we have seen every Winchester (except Mary) as a demon \o/.
So Jeremy is dead now? God, I really hope so!
Bobby asks Sam if used his Psykid powers. Ooh, I didn't think of that possibility. I wonder if we will ever see his powers again (or if we already did). I'd really like them to return.
*gasp* Bela lied about Flagstaff! Why am I even surprised? "You boys better check your pockets." says Bobby, and Sam and Dean check their pocket, "Not literally." ^^♥! Oh so that's what was in the safe. OMG, Bela stole the Colt! God, Dean you should have killed her like he promised. Shit. I mean, okay, last episode the Colt was useless. But that doesn't mean every demon has the power to stop bullets, right? And hey, the Colt is the key to the Devil's Gate. I'm really pretty sure Dean won't go to hell, but if he does it would be nice if Sam had the Colt to open the Gate and let Dean out. Oh god, Bela stole the Colt! THE COLT!
Dean tells Sam he doesn't want to die, he doesn't want to go to hell. And I wanna hug him. And Sam too. And Sam says they'll find a way to save Dean. But Dean thinks there is no way. God, this is all so sad. *sniff*


DUDE! It's like in a movie when at the end the evil monster/person that you thought was dead turns out to be still alive. While I find that annoying in movies, I think it's made of awesome here. Because demon!Dean is still there. Well, he doesn't exist yet, but...you know, not yet. It's Dean's future. I think this is the scariest and coolest ending ever!


Ah, what a sucky review. My thoughts for this episode are like water in a sieve. Ah, whatever. Important thing is I got this review done! Better sooner than later. Hmph.


Oh hey, between seeing this episode and getting the review done I was googling for pictures of Kripke (for the JKR/Kripke icon) and found an Sera Gamble interview from early season 2 where she talked about the idea for this ep. Heh.

Is there any story you really hope to get the chance to tell through Supernatural?
SG: I like really trippy, layered, surreal episodes. I'd like to do an episode with whole scenes that take place inside nightmares. Nightmare on Elm Street completely freaked me out when I was a kid. And it'd be a good excuse to do all that Being John Malkovich unconscious mind stuff. I haven't even mentioned this to Eric yet, so I have no idea if he thinks it'd work on our show or not. He might come into my office after he reads this and tell me to lay off the experimental French cinema and get back to ripping still-beating hearts out of people's chests.
