Rewatching The Curious Case of Dean Winchester

Welcome to “Toothpicks and Dimples and Honor Among Thieves: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s5e7: The Curious Case of Dean Winchester.

Bobby makes a bid to join Sam and Dean’s League of Extraordinary Idjits by playing a supernatural card game with a devilishly handsome magic man, in which the stakes are years of your life instead of money. He loses, because of course he does. And then Dean rushes off to try to win back Bobby’s years. And loses. Because of course he does. So Dean walks out of the game an old man, and the three of them start scrambling to figure out how to beat Hottie McCardshark. (Folks, this dude is ATTRACTIVE.) And then Sammy, who has been feeling that Dean is treating him like a little kid - you guessed it - plays to save Dean. No one seems to think he can do it, but of course he pulls through with an impressive bluff. Amongst all the card playing, there’s a sweet and sad little story about the cardshark’s wife being unhappy with their everlasting lot, and a not-so-sweet side bit with Bobby being ableist and sexist.
