Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

I am still mulling this one over. Basically my reaction really is: GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARTH!!!!!

And then, also, I love it when the Winchesters are having a tough time. Also, I like Sam calling Dean on his fucked-up-ness. I think, though, that the end was.... hm. Either too much or not enough. Sam has never bought into family the way Dean has, but to leave it there? Really?

Still, I love them being uncomfortable around each other, and I can't wait for the resolution. It's (almost always) satisfying when they work it out.

It's one of the few things they haven't triangulated yet: You can have hunting and Sam, but not 'brotherhood.' Hm! It'll be interesting to see how that will play out. If they can actually show that tension, it'd be interesting, for sure.

Well, next week's trailer doesn't seem like it'll be good for that, but you never know - sometimes the guys manage to put just the right spin on things to make them work (and it could be super effective in what looks to be a humor ep).

This was my reaction as well!

Garth put me off a bit at first. I thought the actor was either deathly ill, or perhaps had an eating disorder. He worried me. Then I looked him up and learned of his past battle with cancer. Glad he seems to be doing well now!

And the character quickly won me over. Now I always want to give him a hug. He'd like that. Even Dean can't resist, LOL!

I love DJ Qualls, and have for as long as I've known of him. I particularly like Garth, though, because he brings a kind of sweetness to the Winchesters - the best part of which is how much, for all their eye-rolling, they crave it. Dean especially. I love the hugs.

True!

He'd better not meet a bad end - like nearly everyone who gets involved with the Winchesters seems to. No wonder they have no social lives!

No, but IMO it's because Dean has grabbed onto "family" as a crutch, it's like something that is supposed to excuse overstepping boundaries and all manner of disregarding of Sam. Because of family. I don't think Dean's perception of family is entirely healthy.

I think part of that is because Dean lost his childhood in a way Sam didn't. Dean has a huge blindspot when it comes to family and Sam knows this. Sam's reaction to what you do for family isn't at all abnormal. Dean's is. But because the narrative of Supernatural is mostly from Dean's POV, we tend to side more with Dean and less with Sam.
(my 2 cents -- I have not seen 9.13 yet so.....)

I love both brothers and their dysfunction is so painful sometimes. Ugh.



I think step-mom's version of pack and family is also fucked up, but on the other side of the coin. I felt for the preacher-dad who wasn't born but bitten and he tried to make peace with his lot in life and improve his family's chances of survival but his wife only saw his weakness and pandering to humanity.
SO SAD
I'm glad Garth has found a home!!
*sniffs*
That has made me happy. I hope we never see him again so he stays that way - LOL

Yes, definitely! I completely agree!

I also agree that it's excellent that Garth seems happy - I hope to see him again, but not at the expense of his happiness.
