Welcome to another installment of the Free Will United Against John Winchester’s Direct Orders Fan Club! I hope everyone brought their clubs! :’D
We are introduced to the Colt, are informed that yes, vampires are a thing that exist, and begin learning the extent of things that John had been keeping hidden from Sam and Dean, ostensibly in the name of keeping them safe.
Since I talked an awful lot this week, I’ll keep these notes short and get right to the links to important reference materials:
The Superwiki page for this episode
The casting sides for the vampires Beau, Luther, and Kate, wherein there’s a few references to Genny, who you might better remember as Dr. Ellen Piccolo who slaps Sam and calls him a “brilliant coward” a number of times in Changing Channels, since it’s the same actress...
the tweet I mention toward the end of the episode
and finally, a link to my personal frustration over the fact I still can’t find the long post I made about how monsters are used for specific thematic representation on Supernatural, because I know I wrote this post and I’ll be golly gosh danged if I can’t find it now...
