Good point! I’m sure Dean was fully aware of the danger of ingesting vampire blood, even when his rage outweighed everything else and he went at it with the chain saw. I’m SURE he kept his mouth closed. That beautiful, beautiful mouth of his!

I’m glad you enjoyed the the review as well as the ep. This ep is one of my favorites.

Thank you, dear, for stopping by and reading and posting!

Yeah, it seems like an interesting contrast – it seemed so obvious when you think angel and devil, but it’s such a classic story, the conflicts between them, I think it could work. Plus with Mr. Ackles and Mr. Padalecki playing the characters, how can we go wrong?

Spidey sense, ha! That’s exactly it. He was on to Gordon from the getgo, whereas Dean was willing to try and see the good in Gordon. I don’t personally think Gordon was all bad; I’m sure he was damaged goods for sure, but I don’t think that killing his sister was as easy for him as it seems. Part of him died that day. As for the halo? Man. That’s just an incredible shot! The screep cap does NOT do it justice.

I’m glad I can keep you sane. I’m keeping myself sane as well, because not a day goes by that I don’t think of Dean’s suffering. As for Season two, I’ve been looking forward to it. So many good eps, so many cool brotherly moments. I’m looking forward to all of them, and yeah, Born Under a Bad Sign for Evil!Sammy you bet!

I hope that your season two viewing is fun and that you are able to come back and join the squee! I always enjoy hearing your comments and the things you point out. I totally understand your need to wait…the season three finale was a corker, and not easy to get over. In the meanwhile, take care of yourself, okay?

I go for scared and worried too. I think the sulks and pouts would have been his cover, to try and pretend it doesn’t matter quite so much, because he doesn’t want anyone to think he’s a baby, which he’s not. But 12 is awfully young to be in that situation. I love what you point out here, the way “safe” and “normal” reflect what each boy wants, and how what they want is slightly skewed. Safe for Dean is different than what safe would be for you and me. Everything is relative, right? As for Sam, normal, yeah, not being a freak who could turn evil. Nicely pointed out there!

My only problem with this episode (and it took me a few times of viewing, since the boys kept distracting me with their good looks) had to do with the spraying vampire blood in the decapitation scene. We already know that ingesting vamp blood is what causes one to become a vampire (and we learn that lesson even more in season three, where a few drops in a drink make poor unsuspecting blondes all fangy) so why, WHY would Dean let vampire blood touch his face and lips? One accidental drip and…

Other than that though, this was a great story. I love your review almost as much as the episode!

It’s cool that you’re going through the 2nd season; there were so many incredible episodes to love. I can’t wait to relive Nightshifter, Born under a bad sign, Hunted, WIAWSNB and AHBL 1&2 with you.

I won’t be able to comment on this episode because I need to begin rewatching Season 2 again, but I am not quite ready to do that just yet.

I will certainly miss ‘squeeing’ with you because I truly enjoy it because you love this wonderful show as much as I do but I need to wait awhile longer to watch the Season 2 shows again.

I did, however, re-watch Scarecrow again this past weekend. It is one of my favorite episodes, from Season 1, because it introduced us to Meg who is my ‘fav’ female guest in all three seasons. She was effortlessly cool and she was so good at being evil.

Plus, the boys were at odds which is always painful to watch but it also allows the actors to shine. I especially love the scene when Dean and Sam are talking on their cell phones and the final scene when they are at the bus stop.

Take care

I go for scared and worried. I always remember that in the Pilot Dean said Sam wanted normal and Sam said Sam wanted safe. I have always believed that that really encapsulated both boys. DEAN is the one who wants normal as seen in WIAWSNB and Sam wanted to be safe, both as in safe for himself, but also to have the world be safe from him. I think when Bloody Mary says you want to be normal, it was true, but not in a want to live a picket fence life kind of way. I think the normal Sam wants is in a not being a psychic freak kind who could turn evil at any time kind of way.
