I think this is one of those episodes I'm going to have to rewatch to really get. It was great to see Garth again, but I felt like--while Jensen did a great job--Dean's vitriol for Garth was disproportionate to the amount of screen time he's had. Like, if Dean had behaved that way toward Bobby, I would have gotten it. But even the 'maybe monsters are good' plot couldn't really encompass how much we as viewers know Garth. I feel like he's not well known enough to yell at? Not to mention that Garth is a delicate flower. DJ Qualls does a great job playing his vulnerability.

That's fascinating, because I really feel like Garth is one of the family. He's right up there with Charlie for me. It's more reluctant with Garth (though Dean seems to have given in pretty early on), but it's sincere and has always been. He was mentioned as much as Bobby used to be over S8.

So this pretty much held for me (and I frakking LOVE DJ Qualls), though it wasn't an episode I'll come back to again and again. I need to watch it one more time because I missed a few things while I was watching live, and I need a hook for my episodic_supernatural story. I should probably do something with the last five minutes, but I'm not sure I'm up for that much angst. It'd have to be all internal and I hate having to write Dean POV stories where it's all thinking. And Sam's POV isn't that interesting, I don't think, because he's actually NOT thinking at the moment. At least, it feels that way to me. It feels like he's just hurting, and he's sort of wandering through his life like a zombie, trying to come to terms with everything and decide what he needs to do with regard to Dean - which he can't really do because he can't think clearly about this yet.

Cool! Are you doing like a coda to the ep?

because he's actually NOT thinking at the moment. At least, it feels that way to me. It feels like he's just hurting, and he's sort of wandering through his life like a zombie, trying to come to terms with everything ITA. Poor Sam. Jared's actually doing a decent job of showing Sam at the end of his rope.
