it was really awesome and most of what I want to dissect about it will have to wait for rewatches, I think...
I agree. It's one of those ones where I really look forward to eventually doing a rewatch of it and analyzing it a little more.
I was really confused when she took the hammer to the wall, I have to admit. I wasn't sure what she was doing...but, taking out her frustration on it makes sense. She probably thought it was solid enough that it wouldn't matter, too.
Yeah, I definitely think it was just venting anger. And yeah, I guess she figured that if the wall came down that easily, it probably wasn't a load-baring wall? I don't know - I'm pretty wary of randomly sledgehammering walls in the basement.
I was about to say they don't even need to buy a new car, because they have a whole fleet in the bunker...but that's all ridiculously conspicuous 1950s cars so maybe that's not such a good idea after all...
Haha, yeah, I mean, they could start a habit of going to car-shows, but other than that, they don't have much use for their fleet of 1930s-1950s cars.
At some point, I want to rewatch this episode back to back with 'Hello, Cruel World,' because I'm pretty sure there were a couple direct quotes from Hallucifer when he tried the same thing here...curse is smart.
Indeed. Though, I think Hallucifer concentrated on ending Sam's pain, rather than ridding the world of Sam and his morally dubious quests to save Dean. And Fake!Benny also took a different track, by making Dean believe he was in purgatory and that it was the best place for him (removed from the world where he could do damage.)
Also, Rowena was way too excited about tying Dean up.
And since Rowena is a twisted form of Sam's subconscious....? Hahaha, actually, I'm sure this was the curse selling-the-con to Sam. Sam would expect that tying Dean up would please Rowena. So, her not being excited would have been out of character and tipped the game - just like Benny telling Dean to kill himself confirmed to Dean that Benny wasn't real (and probably neither was purgatory.)
Also, I really loved how everyone in this episode kept making fun of Sam's height. Also, Susie/Lucy/whatever her name was describing Sam as 'tall white dude with pretty hair' and it's like...yep. Those are Sam's three most prominent features. I don't know, it amused me.
It was pretty amusing. I really liked the "pretty hair" comment.
