Rewatching The Usual Suspects

Welcome to “Red Rum and Pea Soup: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

 Up today, s2e7: The Usual Suspects

  "Our boys get in trouble with the law over the brutal death of a married couple after Dean is found kneeling over the bloody body of the wife (rookie mistake, but we'll let it slide because, well, Dean). They're questioned separately but still manage to communicate with each other and between the two of them they figure out where Sam needs to go next. He jailbreaks his way out a window, and one of the detectives (played by Linda Blair) has a close encounter with a dead woman, catches up with Sam, and helps him solve the restless dead-y mystery. As it turns out, there's also a not-so-supernatural twist, which leads to Dean being in even more trouble, until Linda and Sam come to save him. Then the boys are let loose, since the detective has now SEEN THINGS and understands they're hunters and not serial killers. There are Exorcist references and a walk off into the sunset."

 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.
