Pre-ep thoughts:
Spoilers can be bad, the kind that makes you regret reading them. But spoilers can also be OMG, SO GREAT! Like when you read about a Groundhog Day episode. I like that movie, but what I love is The X-Files episode Monday (Why do always bad things happen in episodes that have a day of the week title?). So, yay, one more thing in common with The X-Files.
Dean will get killed several times, OMG, I love me some sadness! AWESOME! I mean how many times have we gotten dead Dean, but it never actually really was like that (shapeshifter!Dean for example)! But now...actually dead Dean! Dude!


Okay, the Previously is confusing. We get ghosts, the trickster, djinn, demons. No good for guessing who'll be behind this. And I don't think it'll be the universe itself that is doing course correction. Because dude, that would be all kinds of weird. There always has to be someone who does it. I'm thinking way to much about this stuff before I even know what's really going on. What I know is that Dean will die in a number of ways. The day is repeating, so that he dies is probably wrong. I mean, from my point of view Dean dying (and staying dead) is wrong - but it's not about my POV. So I think there is someone who wants Dean dead and arranges things to lead up to his death and another someone wants Dean to live and makes the day repeat itself.

1. The close up on Sam's face reminds me of Lost AHBL. LOL, Sam is waking up to a song - very Groundhog Day ^^. For a second I thought what we see is already a repetition. But Sam only jumped like that because of the sudden noise. Sam says he's gonna kill himself if he ever hears that song again. OMG, you can't say that, Sammy! If he can't stand it now how bad will it be for him to hear this song when that day is over (you know, like really over, like it's finally the next day)? Is it normal that I like Dean tying his boots so much? What is pretty normal, I'm sure, is loving Dean's 'singing' and dancing or whatever you could call it. Sam gives his toothpaste an annoyed bitchface and Dean gets one too, heh.

I love how Dean gargles endlessly and the grin.


Yay, we're seeing parts of their days we haven't seen before. And Dean needs his gun for breakfast ^^.
Cal (sp?) gets suspiciously much attention, so I guess he's important. He doesn't look like he has the power to make a day repeat, so I say he'll be one of the reasons Dean dies or just to be something to recognize.
Oh hi, Pussycat Dolls ad. I bet you got killed multiple times too, but someone's always reviving you. I hate you, someone!
The waitress drops the hot sauce. I don't know how to explain it, but it's of meaning. Not super big, but you know... It could be important for recognizing the day as the same as before. Or it could somehow lead to Dean's death. We'll see. When there's something to read I want to read it, when someone has a name I want to know it, so I tried to find out what the waitress's name is. I had to think a bit, a name that starts with "D" and ends with "is"?. Doris! Which, at the time, didn't mean anything. But now that I've rewatched Groundhog Day? LOL, there's a diner waitress named Doris!

Hey, we've been there before! At the end of Bloody Mary.


See?


That blonde bumps into Dean, she's one of those recognizable events again, the dog barking probably too. And the guys with the desk. Dean says that Mystery Spot thing sounds a little X-Files to him. I love when they mention the X-Files in general, but that it's a topic the X-Files did too makes this so much cooler ^^.

Oh god, Sam's face when he says "Call 911!", oh baby! :o(


Dean dies. God, how cool must it be to watch that episode without knowing the day is going to repeat?! Title sequence. Ha, right, I forgot about that. Before the title sequence someone dies.

2. And Sam wakes up. Sam remembers. Btw, I'm a little sad that we didn't get to see Sam be all emo about Dean's death. Dammit.
Yay, Jim Beaver in the credits.
Looks like Sam does remember the things at the moment they happen. So he can't prevent them visiting that Mystery Spot place and Dean getting shot yet. Maybe next time.
Oh, good, Sam remembers before it happens. But that only makes Dean die earlier.

3. Hey, that "rise and shine" is a Groundhog Day reference too ^^.

Oh god, Sammy. The worried look here, aw.


Oh hey, I bet it's one of the ways Dean will die: Drowned because he misgargled.
Sam orders for Dean and I think that's a good place to start when you're trying to convince someone that this day already happened. Dean asks if it's like Groundhog Day. And I think that's adorable that he knows that movie. I mean, I think everyone should know it, but, you know, it isn't the typical Dean film. Or maybe he doesn't know the film? That it's just that famous that Dean heard of it?
Dean says it's too X-Files again. I think you could argue that this is exactly the point. A lot of stuff that happened on The X-Files is real in the Supernatural world (like genetic freak Tooms and the shapeshifter). Do you want me to get out my list of similarities?
Heh, Dean ask if his death looked cool, like in the movies. Oh, Dean ♥.
LOL, suits again. I wonder if the Mystery Spot Dude wants Dean dead because Sam and Dean are trying to figure out how that Mystery Spot works. Then of course the question is why not Sam? But that Hasselback guy, he could have tried to investigate this place too.
Okay, I read about the desk. This street looks like it's the one from the morning. I bet Dean will be ded from desk very very soon. ...Ouch. Ahahaha, giving headdesk a whole new meaning!

4. Dean orders sausages - I bet he's gonna choke on them! ... Ha, of course. Death by food, how fitting! ^^

5. Heee, soapy Dean!


6. "These tacos taste funny to you?" XD

7. Ah, electrocution! This episode finishes what Faith couldn't.

8. Sam is taking the Mystery Spot apart. Wouldn't it be easier to just burn it down? Or is he looking for something?

Heh.


Also, wow, Dean made it to the Mystery Spot. And then Dean gets axed. Accidently...by Sam. Oh Sammy.

9. Heh, Sam steals the old man's car keys. Dudes, seriously, only then I noticed that he was the one who run Dean over! And that diner dude tells the old man to drive savely. Heh. Hey, did we see that greyhaired suit guy before? When Sam says it's the 100th Tuesday in a row, do you think it's really somewhere around hundred or is he just saying it feels like it's been 100 times this day happened? OMG, Sam and Dean saying the same things at the same time ^^. What are the chances Dean chooses to say those things again when the day probably went different than the one where Sam heard him say the stuff the first time? Dean must have a mental list!
Ah, finally a lead on how this Tuesday's supposed to go. The blonde's important.

10. Why does the camera focus on suit guy? Sam notices that suit guy chose a different syrup today. Dude, I knew it, suit guy has something to do with this! Aw, we don't get to see how Dean dies this time.

11. Ha, suit guy seems to be interested in Sam and Dean's conversation that they're not having because Sam knows dude is suspicious.
HA, IT'S THE TRICKSTER! I mean, the, not just a \o/.

12. It's Wednesday! OMG! But this ep has still 10 minutes left. Hm. Okay, so Dean doesn't remember the rest of the day? What happened after the confrontation with the trickster? I mean, I understand when Sam doesn't remember. Okay, maybe Dean too. But hopefully not the rest of the town, that would be weird. So what happened to Sam and Dean? Did they just vanish on Tuesday morning and got, like, beamed to Wednesday morning?
Dean dies. Dudes, the first I watched the ep I didn't recognize this guy as Cal (who robbed the mechanic on Tuesday, which I didn't hear the first time). But I was right that he was going to be one of the ways Dean dies. Just that I didn't expect it to be not on Tuesday.
OMG, yay, we finally get to see sad Sammy! "I'm supposed to wake up" *sniff* Oh Sammy! ...Okay, so Sam didn't live the whole Tuesdays, he woke up after Dean died?

Sam driving with that look on his face reminds me of Malleus Maleficarum and AHBL2 of course. What is that? Like a flashforward of Sam hunting alone? I was so confused at first!
Heh, the 8 on the motel door amuses me. If you rotate it 90° you get the symbol for infinity.
We only see a small part of life without Dean, but dude! I can't imagine what it's like. Dean dead, in hell and slowly becoming a demon, and Sam is hunting alone, hunting the trickster. This Sam is scary, it's so freaking heartbreaking!
Bobby says they need a gallon of blood. Because I have no idea how much that is in liters I went to Wikipedia. And dude, 3.8l, that's really not healthy! What Wikipedia also told me is that one U.S. dry gallon is one-eighth of a U.S. Winchester bushel, heh. Okay, back to the subject, which is that Sam is breaking our hearts. Bobby's too. Oh Sammy :o(((.
Bobby offers his blood, and god, it is good to see emotions an Sammy's face again. But, OMG, even if Bobby gets killed in the future and the trickster brings Sam back to that Wednesday that would be just fucked up. Just knowing that Sam would have killed Bobby in an alternative future...no. So Sam kills Bobby and I really hope that I'm right, that it's not Bobby. Poor Sammy hopes so too. And it wasn't Bobby! \o/ Thank god!
Why is the trickster trying to teach Sam a lesson? Why does the trickster care if Sam and Dean keep sacrificing themself for each other? It's not the trickster's business. I was so confused by all this mindfuckery. When I first watched this episode that was all I could think: Why does the trickster care? Not in the way that I thought of what reasons he could have, more in the way "WTF do you care?!". You know what I'm trying to say? I had time to think about it and, well, he's living in this world too. He probably wouldn't like it if demons ruled the world.

Oh god, Sammy, you little puppy! I just wanna give you a hug. I would give you Dean back if I could, but a hug is all I can do. :o(((


13. It's Wednesday again \o/. I wonder if Sam will love or hate that song now. Hug, please? YAAAAYYYYYYY! Man, this is so like AHBL again ♥ *sniff* God, how I survived this episode without my cuddlepillow I don't know.
Sam takes the time to look at the room where he woke up about 100 mornings. Dude, if all that shit had just happened to me, I would never leave Dean's side. And I'd have the gun drawn. Hey, I wanted to see if robbery dude is there again and if Sam kills him and Dean wonders why the fuck Sam just shot a seemingly harmless human.


Okay, what's left to say? Ah yes, first: I said this is suit season, but it's more the angst season. OMG, ♥!
I love how this episode was like AHBL, just that Sam was Dean, and Dean was Sam here.
I don't know if we all agree on this, but personally I think Dean is gonna get out of the deal. So we wouldn't get to see Sam without Dean. But here we got to see it. God, I love shows that have the possibilities to show us stuff that we'd love to see, but seem impossible.
"Whoever said Dean was the dysfuntional one has never seen you with a sharp object in your hands." Yeah, that surprised me. We knew that Dean needs Sam, but I had no idea that Sam needs Dean so very much too. They keep each other sane, it's a symbiotic relationship. Wow. I love it, but it's also so very fucked up.
Sam just lived through over 3 months of Tuesdays and at least 3 months without Dean. I wonder if the memory of this will fade like a dream. Probably not. Can you imagine having experienced all that shit for months and then you go back, it's Wednesday and you can't remember Monday?
