Holy shit, this episode is dark: starting with a vision of a murder-suicide
Wow I had forgotten that Sam and Dean used to go to the Roadhouse with every little problem, they’re literally there all the tiem.
“Hey Ash, we need your help” / “Well, then I guess I need pants”
I had also forgotten about the budding romance between Jo and Dean
“You’re afraid of my mother?” / Dean nods, “I think so” Damn right, Ellen Harvelle is appropriately scary
“Hey, can I have it?” (referring to the Impala) / “Sure man” Dean gets out of the car, and gives it to him, thus an immediate realization that something is super super wrong
“He full on Obi-waned me! It’s mind control man!”
I love how most of these psychics know how to use their powers so much more than Sam does
Is this the episode that is, “Too soon?” / “yeah, Dean, three seconds is too soon.”
“You know, one day I’d like to just sit down and eat something that I don’t need to microwave.” Aww I can’t wait for the bunker where Dean’ll actually be able to do that.
The evil guy in this episode looks vaguely like Elijah Wood, to the point where I thought for a while about whether or not he was actually Elijah Wood.
Long lost twins??????
We’re getting deep psychological questions in these early season two episodes: “bottom line, if they’re pushed enough, everyone’s capable of murder.”
