Rewatching Wishful Thinking

Welcome to “Teddy Bear Docs and Deep Cuts”: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

 Up today, s4e8: Wishful Thinking.

 When Sam finds a possible case about a woman attacked by a ghost in the showers at her gym, Dean can’t get to work on it fast enough. But the lady’s story is weird—not their kind of weird—and they’re about to give it up as a bad job when they get wind of a Big Foot in town. But—Big Foot isn’t real. As they dig a little deeper, they realize that people in town have been making wishes at the fountain at a local Chinese restaurant. The wishes come true—but quickly go bad. A little girl’s teddy bear does come alive, but he’s depressed and suicidal. A man’s unrequited love suddenly loves him dearly—too dearly. The boys track down the source of the shenanigans—an ancient coin tossed into, and stuck to the bottom of, the fountain. Once they convince the man who put it there to remove it, all returns to normal. Dean finally admits to Sam that he remembers hell, but refuses to talk about it, claiming he has no words with which to do so.

 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.

Rewatching Yellow Fever

 Welcome to “Big Hearts, Cat Screams, Bobby Speaks Japanese: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

  Up today, s4e6: Yellow Fever.

 The cold open begins with Dean running for his life… from a yorkie? Okay, back up. The boys are investigating the strange death of a man who died of a heart attack with no discernable cause. Eventually they realize the culprit is ghost sickness, which is contagious and causes victims to get increasingly terrified until the are literally scared to death. And Dean’s caught it. He does his best to help Sam continue the case while he becomes frightened of… everything. Eventually he begins to see hallucinations, including one of Lilith, who suggests that he may remember quite a bit about his time in hell after all. With Dean holed up in a motel room trying to stay calm, Bobby eventually joins Sam and they figure out that scaring the original ghost to “death” should cure Dean. So they do, in a scene that is heartbreaking and kind of hard to watch. But meanwhile the whole episode is a delight of Dean moments coupled with Sam doing his best to support him and not laugh. Always stay tuned for at the end for Jensen’s hilarious lip-sync of “Eye of the Tiger.”

 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.

 Mace:

 well, you have someone hold them down, obvs

  Lor:

 oh right. I just wasn't thinking with enough violence

 "oh what? safety's a crime now?"

  Lor:

 Mace:

 yeah, they needed to explain it somehow I guess, but surely they could have come up with something else better

  Lor:

or hiding a secret

 Mace:

 or forced to grow up too soon

  Lor:

 bc those are both true of Dean and are relevant to what they are trying to get at

 Mace:

 well, it’s not like Sammy doesn’t have secrets from Dean

  Lor:

 ...though Sam is hiding something too

 "hey, quit picking at that"

Rewatching No Rest for the Wicked

Welcome to “Do Genitals Have a Skeletal System in Hell?: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

  Up today, s3e16: No Rest for the Wicked.

 Dean’s got days now, and the desperation leads the boys to fight over what to try next. Ruby has a plan Dean doesn’t like, and Sam is frustrated (again) by Dean’s refusal to trust her. Meanwhile, Lilith, the demon who reportedly holds Dean’s contract, has possessed a young girl and is using her to torment and kill members of the child’s family. Bobby is able to pinpoint Lilith’s location, and the boys infiltrate the home in an attempt to kill Lilith. They fail. In the final moments before midnight, Dean hears hell hounds. The dogs, invisible to everyone else, rip him to shreds, leaving no doubt that he's dead. The final shots of the episode zoom in through Dean’s sightless eyes, where we see him suspended from meat hooks in what can only be hell, yelling his brother’s name in anguish.

 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.

We also find out that Cas likes watching Dean when he’s sleeping. But they’re just friends. Uh-huh.

 YES

 Lor:

RIGHT?

 Lor:

so he would try, I guess?

 Mace:

 oh wait it was a reference to Sam I guess

 Lor:

I guess

 Mace:

 but it’s still bad writing

 Lor:

I feel like sometimes Cas wakes Dean up in the night now to apologize for doing this to him

 Mace:

 AW

 Lor:

i mean, it's so CRUEL. it definitely plagues Cas

 Lor:

yeah, it feels like the writing there is supposed to make you go "oh! i see" and instead you just go "eh?"

 Mace:

yep. I think we’re supposed to think it’s clever in hindsight, but instead it’s just slipshod and clumbsy

 Mace:

 wow, that b does not belong in there

  Lor:

LOL

Rewatching Are You There, God? It’s Me, Dean Winchester

Welcome to “I Think That Means Sam Is Grover: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

  Up today, s4e2: Are You There God? It’s Me, Dean Winchester.

 Dean’s not convinced Cas is who he says he is—not just because he’s having a hard time wrapping his head around angels, but also because he thinks it’s unfathomable that God would choose to save *him* or recruit him for anything. Meanwhile, hunters are dying off weird and bloody. Sam, Dean, and Bobby look into it and discover that spirits of the dead are being risen and bound to someone to do as they are bidden. The spirits of Meg, Victor, Ronald, and two little girls that Bobby couldn’t save come for the boys and Bobby, and Dean, in particular, is eaten up with guilt over his inability to save everyone. The episode ends with a late-night visit from Cas where he reveals to Dean that Lilith is trying to break the 66 seals that will allow Lucifer to rise. You could cut the sexual tension between them with a floppy feather.

 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.

 “they’ve redecorated. in red”

HAHHA BOBBY

  Lor:

 BOBBYYYY

 OMG Dean asleep and letting Sam drive

 Mace:

 YES

  Lor:

 nope. Victor would 100% appear to Dean first

 Mace:

 HAHAHAHA

agreed

 ooof

  Lor:

 spooky kids. always with the spooky kids

 Mace:

 “don’t think at all” omg Dean

  Lor:

 YES

 Sam gets all in his head and fretful and Dean is all frantic nervous energy

 Mace:

 YES

 i love Bobby’s half creepy half cozy half absolute fucking mess house

  Lor:

 YES

 Mace:

 look, I don’t like demon meg much either, but lady? women can dress the way they want without judgment

  Lor:

 RIGHT?

 And she's not exactly not showing skin herself. like, don't be misogynistic and especially don't be a hypocrite about it

 Mace:

 EXACTLY

  Lor:

 ooooof Dean

  Lor:

 I call shenanigans on Dean being able to stand up straight and walk around (more evidence for our theory about when the injuries last)

 Mace:

 YES

  Lor:

 "I had a weekend off"

 Mace:

 YAS

 “you’re awesome” DED

  Lor:

 I love that Dean tells Bobby he's awesome

 "if he is out there, what's wrong with him?"

"why doesn't he help?"

I love that Dean has this crisis

 YES

 Mace:

 yep

 “opium?”

  Lor:

 YES

and the little hand gesture he makes when Bobby tells him to go

 Mace:

 YES

  Lor:

 this is SUCH a good way to set up some of the major themes of this season. Sam's a monster, Dean doesn't think he's worthy

 Mace:

 AGREED

 but there isn’t any Cas and that’s a problem for me

  Lor:

 I think he shows up for a minute at the end?

 oh DEAN

 Mace:

  Lor:

 Dean sleeps on the floor so Sammy can have the couch

 GOD Cas just leaning on the sink like that

 Mace:

Rewatching Metamorphosis

Welcome to “I swear to Chuck, Dean Winchester, if you say Man Pig one more time…: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

   Up today, s4e4: Metamorphosis.

 In the suburbs, a married man is becoming insatiable for meat. And maybe… human flesh? He’s scaring the bejesus out of his wife (and himself), but when two incredibly handsome young men clad in flannel show up and tell him it’s because he’s a monster, he’s not buying it. (Always believe handsome young men in flannel when they tell you you’re a monster.) Turns out the dude can NOT become a full-on monster as long as he refrains from eating human flesh. Once he does, there’s no going back. But the boys are divided on whether he can be saved—Sam argues that he’ll be able to control himself and be fine; Dean is sure he is doomed to be a monster. This, of course, echoes their positions on what’s going on with Sam and Ruby and how they each feel about THAT. The episode’s climax involves a lot of ew and gross and an old hunter friend of John’s being awful. And our boys… are FRAUGHT.

  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.

 [and we begin:]

  Mace:

 Interesting. I don’t think Sam gets objectified like this often (“slutting around”)

  Lor:

 no, I don't think he does

 oh Dean

I FORGOT that he finds out by spying

  Mace:

 yeah

Lor:

 "is that Ruby?" and the LOOK

  Mace:

 right?!

  Lor:

 oh he's maaaaad

they are so FRAUGHT

  Mace:

 he really is

  Lor:

 ooo Sammy's wearing one of his BEST shirts

  Mace:

 HE IS

  oh Dean, you don’t wanna leave

HEY NOW, LAY OFF MY STRINGBEAN

  Lor:

 oh Dean, that's it, cycle that violence

  Mace:

 YEP

  Lor:

 OH! Sam's being influenced by Ruby BUT Dean's being influenced by Cas. and they both CAN be influenced bc something in there lets them be, but I never picked up on the parallel before

  Mace:

 YEP

  Lor:

 I feel a little dumb right now. like, it's RIGHT THERE

  Mace:

 snork

  Lor:

 but Cas is definitely not a love interest for Dean. definitely not

  Mace:

 NOPE DEFINITELY NOT

JUST FRIENDS

  Lor:

 only bros

  Mace:

 we don’t need to discuss how there’s 1000% more sexual tension in the scenes between Cas and Dean than Ruby and Sam...

  Lor:

 lol nope

 not beat down after five or six years of marriage to JOHN

  Mace:

 and the fact that Sam and Ruby are married in real life now so there must have been actual tension between them but still Misha and Jensen provoke more sexy vibes…

 HAHAHAHA

  Lor:

 RIGHT?

I was just trying to figure out how to say something very similar

  Mace:

 HA

  Lor:

 "weird with crazy on top"

 dude, have a string cheese. this is what they are FOR

  Mace:

 YEP

 HAHAHAHAHA

 this one is just kinda gross

  Lor:

 yeah

 WOULD HE? or would he find something to criticize

  Mace:

 enough with the pointed snark, Dean

 oh he would totally criticize

  Lor:

 "is that made up? that sounds made up"

  yeah, Dean is passive aggressiving today

  Mace:

 LONG PIG

EW

  Lor:

 LOL

I love that it's Sam who knows what it means, not Dean

  Mace:

 yeah, that doesn’t seem right somehow

  Lor:

 yeah

I suspect it was sloppy, but I kind of like the against-type of it

  Mace:

 yeah

  Lor:

 so props for calling the jerk out but points off for the fatphobia

  Mace:

 yep

i do love that they do things to make the ‘bad’ guy sympathetic

  Lor:

 YES

  Mace:

 SAM SAID LORE EVERYBODY DRINK

  Lor:

 LOLOLOLOLOLOL

 ooof Dean, people pleasing and managing the people/conversation

  Mace:

 YEP

 okay so here we have Dean on the side of black-and-white and Sam on the side of greys

  Lor:

 Travis, you dick, YES they have not eaten in days, you KNEW their dad, you jerk

 yep

  Mace:

 we should keep score on these because I think I remember they flipflop several times throughout the show

  Lor:

 oh yeah, they definitely do

  ooo, retrograde marital dynamics

fun

  Mace:

 HA yeah

 um, WHOSE emotions are getting in the way, Dean?

  Lor:

 I think they flip on the grey thing depending on what's going on with them. Sam wants monsters to be okay sometimes bc he's afraid he's kind of one. Dean wants it to be black and white bc he wants Sam to just STOP using his powers. you'd think they'd learn at some point though

  RIGHT?

  Mace:

 yeah

  Lor:

 Dean can never resist upset Sammy

  "hungry hungry hippos levels" DEAN

  Mace:

 I wonder if part of why Dean’s panties are so bunched about all this is that he has always felt wrong/inadequate/not-enough (thanks to John) and so he tries to protect Sam and keep him normal

 HAHAHA

  Mace:

 STOP. SAYING. MAN. PIG. DEAN.

  Lor:

 oh YES

 LOL

  Mace:

 he feels like he’s failing Sammy so he’s angry at himself and taking that out on Sam

  Lor:

 YES

  DEAN. stop being a little shit! NO PIE

  Mace:

 Come on, we all know you’d give in in a heartbeat and give him pie

  Lor:

 ....

yeah, it's true

I can't even pretend it's not true anymore

he's just little and he's never done anything wrong

  Mace:

 HAAAAHAHAHA

  “we should go” “yeah"

 HAHAHAHA

  Lor:

 "we're here to save you! i guess"

  Mace:

 BOYS

  Lor:

 HAHAHAHAHA

  so he only wants to eat women?

  Mace:

 well, eating men would be kind gay

  Lor:

 it feels like there's a sexual component here they are not addressing

  Mace:

 HAHAHA

  Lor:

 HA! and no one would want THAT. not on the Man Show

  Mace:

 nope

 OH DAMN I forgot about this part

  Lor:

 so not that all options here aren't awful, but Travis is aware you can... not have a child without killing the woman?

  Mace:

 that wouldn’t be the Christian thing to do, though, now would it

  Lor:

 splutters in 2023

  Mace:

 HAAAAAHAHAHA

  oh Travis is dead. how tragic.

  Lor:

 yes, I weep

  OMG LOCK YOUR CAR WHEN YOU LEAVE IT ON THE STREET

  Mace:

 SNORK

  Lor:

 correct, Sammy

  Mace:

 YES

 ew.

  Lor:

 yeah

  omg stop hitting Sammy in the head!

  Mace:

 omg STOP HITTING SAM IN THE HEAD

  Mace:

 HAHAHAHA

  Lor:

 HAAAAHAHAHAHA

  Mace:

 my Bean’s gonna have the brain damage

  Lor:

 seriously

  look. when the Winchesters show up and tell you to do something, you do it. that's how you don't end up a monster who can't see your family.

  Mace:

 ayup

 for the life of me I can’t understand how anyone could say no to either of them

  Lor:

 interesting choice to have Dean lying down like this for this scene

  RIGHT?

  Mace:

 well if they didn’t then he’s have burned the dude without chatting first

  Lor:

 it's definitely not as sexual assaulty as somethings they do to him, but

  Mace:

 and they needed Sammy to have his little existential crisis talk first

  Lor:

 well, he could be unconscious in a chair or something

  Mace:

 mmm

  Lor:

 LYING

  Mace:

 YEP

  Lor:

 oh boys

  Mace:

 yeah

Rewatching Bedtime Stories

Welcome to “The Brothers Get Grimm with Each Other: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

 Up today, s3e5: Bedtime Stories

  People are dying weird in a small town. It takes our boys a minute to realize it, but the deaths all mimic fairy tales. What seems to be the ghost of a little girl appears at the scenes of the deaths, and that doesn’t track. Until Sam and Dean discover a young woman who has been in a coma since she was a child—and whose father has been reading her fairy tales all these years. Her spirit is trapped and restless because her step-mother poisoned her years ago. The boys have to convince her father to listen to her spirit and let her go to stop the grim deaths. Meanwhile, Sam has been hounding Dean about his refusal to try to find a way out of his demon deal, and the end of the episode sees Sam sneaking off to try to force the crossroads demon to give up Dean’s contract. Sam learns that she’s not the one holding his deal, and Sam shoots her with the Colt (and thus killing the woman she’s possessing as well). Should we be worried about him?

 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.

 Mace:

Nope, I know for a fact that you’ve recently talked about purple nurples, so not the weirdest thing, Dean

 Mace:

 but yes his face!

 Lor:

CORRECT

 Lor:

I read it that he's reconsidering it being the weirdest thing he ever said but he's letting it go

 Mace:

 YES

 Lor:

"so you've seen her too" I love that little twist where suddenly Sam doesn’t have to convince him

 Mace:

 there always is

 Lor:

LOL

 Mace:

 I actually wouldn’t have to drive too far

 Lor:

i could find a crossroad easy and a dirt road easy.... I can't think of a dirt crossroads. probably not over far, actually. but I'd have to look

 Lor:

OI! stop badmouthing Dean!

 Mace:

 RIGHT?!

 Lor:

oooof Sammy

 Mace:

 OOOF

 Lor:

Lolol

  [after the episode ended:]

 Mace:

 so i love the balance between Dean not thinking he deserves to be saved and Sam fighting against this deal not because he doesn’t think HE deserves to live but because he doesn’t think it’s fair that Dean has to die. Another sign of Dean being raised by John and Sam being raised by Dean

 Lor:

YES

Rewatching Malleus Maleficarum

Welcome to "The Nice and Accurate Protests of Dean Winchester, Witchfinder General: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog" with Lor and Mace!

  Up today, s3e9: Malleus Maleficarum

    The boys stumble onto a coven of suburban housewife witches, who are using their power to become president of the PTA or some ridiculous nonsense. Dean's not happy with the job because he hates witches because they're messy, and to be honest he's not all wrong - there some seriously gross stuff going on, including teeth falling out and maggots in hamburgers. So yeah, ew. It turns out, though, that one of the witches isn't a witch at all, but a demon. Fake Wifey Witch Demon slams Sam and Dean up against a wall while revealing Ruby's interesting past. Then Ruby does some revealing of her own, telling Dean that all demons are humans who've had the humanity tortured out of them in hell and that's what he has to look forward to once he's been hellhound dragged down there. Dean's...not happy about this either, but isn't quite ready to open up about it to Sammy. Which is, of course, SHOCKING.

  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.

Rewatching Sin City

Welcome to “Jensen’s Stupid-Good Acting, Jared’s Fantastic Befuddled Face, and a PSA on Hurricanes: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

 Up today, s3e4: Sin City

 Sam and Dean investigate a town that has recently turned into a hotbed of vice. They figure it must be a case of demon possession—or a case of multiple demon possessions—but the more they investigate, the less it seems any of the folks who’ve suddenly turned murderous or suicidal or what-have-you is possessed. Eventually the boys figure out that there are demons involved, but only two, and all they really did was start nudging people toward their bad sides. No possession needed. It’s another case of humans humaning at their worst, for the most part. The boys take out the demons and hope for the best. Along the way we meet an old hunting buddy of Dean’s and watch Dean have a heart-to-heart with one of the demons about his impending trip to Hell and whether it scares him. Spoiler alert: it does, but he’s clinging to pretending it don’t.

 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.

 [and we begin:]

  Lor:

 you hunt down those evil sons of bitches, Dean

 Mace:

 HA

 Lor:

 the SHOTS on this show sometimes. that stained glass window as a halo around Andy's head

 Mace:

you know, I though nuns would be made of stronger stuff than that

 YES

  Lor:

 right?

 one of my profs in college said "nuns may be married to god but they’re hell on wheels"

(I do not remember the context)

 Mace:

 HAHAHAHAHA

  Lor:

 Sam's laugh!

 Mace:

 YAAASSS

  Lor:

 "well it won't kill demons by then but I can promise it will kill you"

 Mace:

 I do love Sam in a tie

  Lor:

 I want the Dad!Bobby and His Sons Dean and Sam Annoy Each Other show

 Mace:

 HAHAHAHAHAH YES

 "until I came along your ass was toast"

 "fyi Winchester words hurt"

 omg

 Mace:

 SNORK

  Lor:

  Lor:

 HA!

 poor Sam. he's twitchy

 Mace:

 I…don’t remember

But I’m guessing yes

 he IS twitchy. he needs soothing

  Lor:

 "what a thrill"

 Mace:

 YES

  Lor:

 wow (i just have no experience with this)

 he DOES

do you volunteer?

 Mace:

 yeah, part of my ‘wild’ days

 I DO VOLUNTEER

  Lor:

 I AM SHOCKED

 Mace:

 “toys trump oils” THIS GUY

  Lor:

 "yeah, no, toys trump oils" haaaaahahaha

   Lor:

   Mace:

 HAHAHAHAHA

 (we HAVE to watch that movie together)

  Lor:

 (YES)

  Mace:

 HAHAHA

 welp, Dean was right - that guy can’t handle the job

 Mace:

 Mace:

 (VERY comforting)

  Lor:

 Mace:

 YES

  Lor:

 "I just told her I had a thing for the bartender"

 Mace:

 SO SMOOTH

  Lor:

 is that a hurricane?

 I need to go look it up now

 Mace:

 it’s a small one if so

maybe they’re just giant in NOLA

  Lor:

 interwebs says it's popular in NOLA so maybe

looks like it's fruit juice, rum, and sugar

 Mace:

 “oh god” ADORABLE SAMMY

  Lor:

 OMG SAM

 Mace:

yeah that sounds about right

it’s the rum that’ll get ya

  Lor:

 "minor misunderstanding"

 Mace:

 SNORK

  Lor:

 "have a nice day?" HIS FACE

 yep. and with the sugar

 Mace:

 YAS

  Lor:

 my mom always told me to never drink sweet alcoholic drinks. shrug

 LOOKIT him standing there with his hands in his pockets

 Mace:

 that’s pretty much the only kind I will drink

don’t tell your mom

 YES and he’s SO SMART

  Lor:

 see, right? if i was gonna drink, I would WANT a sweet one

well. this is when I went to college. I don't think she'd have an opinion now

 "so are you. bitch"

 Mace:

 it was smart advice - with the sweet ones you don’t know until it’s too late that you’re hammered and at a college party, that can be…not good

 YES

  Lor:

 yeah

 ah Dean

 "having a little trouble there, sport?"

 "and, uh, he did pay attention in class"

 "everyone?"

 oh Dean, honey, you're just as smart as Sammy

 Mace:

 Yes you are, Dean. pets him

  Lor:

 "her place. for bible study"

  Lor:

 YEP

 and Dean is looking exceptionally pretty

 Mace:

 HE IS

  Lor:

 "I don't know. I'd like to" OMG

 Mace:

 I have trouble with Dean still not really believing in god at this point. how is there no god if there are all these demons who are allergic to churchspeak in Latin

  Lor:

 yeah, I agree, but his angst over it as he starts to find out that there is a god and he's negligent at best and evil at worst punches me in the feels

 Mace:

 oh well sure

 “what’s it like down there” oh DEAN HONEY

  Lor:

 "speaking of downstairs. what's it like down there?"

*WRAPS HIM IN SOFT THINGS"

 Mace:

 YES

he’s trying to look so casual about it, poor tiger

  Lor:

 YES

 "it's like a family business" SNORK

 Mace:

 YAS

 Sammy, dude, read this guy. he’s EVIL

  Lor:

 Mace:

 RIGHT?!

He’s acts the crap out of this episode

  Lor:

 YES

which is awesome cause it COULD be phoned in. it's just a lot of talking. but he makes it MATTER

 Mace:

 YES

  Lor:

 "that's okay. hey, I barely respect you now"

 Mace:

 SNORK

  Lor:

 YES

 "thank god for that" pets him

 Mace:

 YEP

  Lor:

 "I was ready to follow Sam" that's gotta be a whole lotta weird feels for Dean

 Mace:

 RIGHT?! his second worst nightmare

  Lor:

 YES

 Mace:

 BOBBY!!

 YAS

  Lor:

 oh man I LOVE that Dean saying "Sammy be careful" tells Sam something's WRONG. that it's not just a throwaway

 YES Bobbyyyyyy

 Mace:

 YES

for all their trouble with communicating, in some ways they’re very good at it

  Lor:

 YES

when it's about work and/or when it's something they can ritualize (like having codes or something), it's effortless for them

 Dean's FACE when he says "you two?"

 Mace:

 YES and YES

 ooof that worried look on Dean’s face when Sam kills the girl

  Lor:

 YES

 "humans ain’t our job"

 Mace:

 YEP

  Lor:

 lookit him in his Dad's too big leather jacket over his adorable tiny self

 Mace:

 YES

 omg the lip quiver when he’s asking Bobby about Sam

  Lor:

 "you think... you think something's wrong with my brother?" that's it, that's the show

 YAAAAS

 Mace:

 I mean, Jesus, Jensen.

  Lor:

 RIGHT?

 Mace:

 yet it’s still not enough to make Lauren’s horrible acting palatable

  Lor:

 he SHOWS UP for every dang scene. it's amazing

 NOPE

 "oh I see" and Jared's managing pretty well given he doesn't have much to play off of

 Mace:

 YES HE IS

  Lor:

 "that little fallen angel on your shoulder"

 Mace:

 YAAASSS

  Lor:

 I get so caught up in "oh god Dean's gonna go to hell" that I forget that there's all this "is Sam really out of the woods of becoming the boy king of hell" stuff going on

  Mace:

Right?! So much happening
