Rewatching Houses of the Holy

Welcome to “tHAt’S mIcHAel, rIGhT?: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

 Up today, s2e13: Houses of the Holy

 The boys decide to check out a murder in which the murderer is convinced that an angel told her to do it, and as they're looking into that one, another murder happens with the same story from the perp. Turns out the victims were both sleazeballs and also regularly attended the same church. Dean's 100% skeptical, insisting it's a spirit and not an angel because of course angels don't exist since neither of them nor John have ever seen one. He's shocked and troubled, then, when he discovers that his little brother Sammy does, in fact, believe in angels. It turns out nobody here's been touched by an angel (yet - WE'RE LOOKING AT YOU, DEAN WINCHESTER); instead it's the vengeful spirit of a priest who was shot just outside the church and who is convinced he is an angel. By the end of the episode, Sam and Dean are both wavering in their respective convictions, and both give very good sad face puppy eyes.

 Below is a log of our real-time reactions as we watched. Remember that there may be spoilers for any part of SPN’s 15-season run here. Note also that the nature of our conversation is adult and thus it may contain adult language and themes.

 Lor:

 Mace:

 HAHAHA hygiene!!

 Lor:

 Mace:

 not his forte, I think

 Lor:

 Mace:

 but he’s polite, at least. introduces himself before he gets stabby

 Lor:

HA

 Mace:

“did you bring quarters?"

 DEAN WINCHESTER

 Lor:

poor Dean. has to listen to the police scanner rather than getting to hedonist

  Lor:

 Mace:

HAHAHAHA

 Mace:

 Lor:

HAAAAAHAHAHAHA
