gateslackerAfter waiting forever, it seems, and suffering due to my total abstinence from spoilers, I was SO ready for this new episode.
It delivered! Alas, it has only whetted my thirst for reading ALL the spoilers even more. But I am still being strong!
What I Loved:
Oh my goodness, I cannot even contain my glee that Charlie has read ALL of the Carver Edlund Supernatural books. I love it when folks know what Sam and Dean have done and they allude to the past. Love, Love, Love
I like Charlie. I like how she informs the geek, fangirl view without being insulting, something I think this show typically does well. I know that there are those that can take her or leave her but I have liked her more and more with each appearance.
Loved the interspersing of quotes "come with me if you want to live" and "I love you. I know." I did think that that scene with Dean was touching and I got all downright choked up when she is reading to her mom.
I thought that Sam had some pretty hilarious dialogue in this episode and his reaction to Charlie's comment about his love life. Fantastic!! He plays the straight man more often than Dean and this was fun to see. As was all his woobie, these trials are taking a toll on me but good and I am beginning to look like crap (but in that Still Totally Hot way that only the magic of TV makeup can achieve) Ahhhh, vitamin H/C, right? Why am I such a sucker for this? If ever I had a bulletproof kink!!
And, of course, All The Broments!!! Along with the word "Broment," of course.
What gave me pause: Not too many quibbles. I thought that this convenient, different sort of djinn and djinn lore and, would you look at that, Dad's journal just so happens to have all the information was a tad contrived. (Unless I misinterpreted that scene and it was down to MoL reference material. That, I can hand wave a bit more)
I also knew by the books coroner was the baddie mainly because she was such an obvious obstacle to Dean and Charlie even seeing the body.
I thought the dreamscape was a little underwhelming but the real reason why she was stuck in the loop was well done. (As was her backstory) And Dean being astute was pretty awesome, too.

Oh, but
It's totally great, though!! And gives me even more reason to love this show!!!
