  1. Episode 8.07 A Little Slice of Kevin

    Episode 8.07 A Little Slice of Kevin

    I typed the tagline for the title card for this one several weeks ago, before I came to a hard decision. Quoting the Animals song from the beginning of the episode, We gotta get out of this place, if it's the last thing we ever do... it kinda feels on the nose now. Since everyone can probably already guess what I mostly have to say about this one, I'm gonna use this space for a personal status update. I've got an incredibly busy couple of months coming up, and have been seriously stressing about finding the time to write and record episodes through like... the end of summer. I've also been stressing over continuing to use spotify as my podcast host. It was bad enough before, but now to post there I have to agree to their "ai features" being applied to my little podcast, and I just... can't with that. So for now, this will be the last episode I'm recording for a while. That doesn't mean this project as a whole is going away though! I already have the next episode "in the can," completely written up for AO3. And written more "properly" and completely than the notes I've been posting there to this point. Considering my schedule, though, updates might be more or less frequent, and won't stick to the weekly posting schedule I've maintained for years now. What I will do is write up my complete notes, and then just post them when they're done. Some weeks, you might get two, other weeks none at all, depending on how stressful my life is being. But recording and editing the audio essentially doubles the amount of time these episodes take for me to do, so hopefully I can still mostly stick to getting out 3-4 a month still. We shall see! Thank you to everyone who has been listening along (and reading along now!). I'm just finding it hilarious I started the podcast because I wanted to do a thorough meta rewatch without having to type everything out again, and here I am just deciding it's easier to just type everything out again...

    Episode 8.06 Southern Comfort

    Garth! That's really all we need to know to enjoy this one, right? Good! LINKS!

Amy Pond vs Benny (more tied into 8.09 than here, but also tangentially relevant) We have call sheets and script sides! You can read my notes for this one here on AO3 And I will say here very briefly, there will be a change to the format coming up in a couple weeks, more on that soon!

    Episode 8.05 Blood Brother

    no, really, how does benny know how this portal works? how is he the only being in the universe that seems to know about it, and exactly how it works? how does he know it’s only for humans to pass through? why does cas so easily believe it’s truly only for humans to pass through? i have always believed that it’s because it suits their respective agendas to believe that, whether it was the truth or not. In this essay I will… Okay, that's just one of my usual questions around the beginning of season 8, and I will continue to ask them! But there's plenty of other things to wonder about in this episode, like how did Sam end up spending an entire year with Amelia... mysteries we will never really understand, I suppose. But at least we do get some insight into just why Dean trusts Benny so much. All this and more! including Dean's exasperation with Sam, Sam's exasperation with Dean, and interesting new facts about vampires! LINKS!

  4. Episode 8.04 Bitten

    Episode 8.04 Bitten

    I forgot to mention the cut scene on the dvd for this one, or maybe I just blanked it out of my mind, but Sam tries to call someone from a phone booth and then hangs up. When she calls back, he hangs up again. After Sam and Dean leave, Kate runs over, calls the last number dialed, and gets Dr. Amelia Richardson, veterinarian, who is very confused about Kate asking if she consults for the FBI. I think the only thing this tells us is that Sam is having conflicted feelings about having left her, even despite the circumstances we’ll learn about in a few weeks. But I can see why this scene was cut for time. This episode is already jam packed, even if this likely would’ve helped make Amelia feel like less of an imaginary character. But there are many scenes that did air, so let’s talk about those. LINKS!

    Episode 8.03 Heartache

    why is dean always the target of heartache, heartbreak, heart attacks, and other various and sundry attempts to stab, poke, crush, fold, spindle, mutilate and impale his heart? it is a mystery! but we're gonna wail about it for a bit today... LINKS! The Superwiki page My tag oh look a destiel mirror down the bunny hole… My tag for this one is short, but it’s almost entirely about the heart imagery in the series that gets pinned to Dean. I kind of regret pushing that so hard for so long, considering what happened in 15.20, but >.> The notes for this episode are on AO3 right here

  6. Episode 8.02 What's Up, Tiger Mommy?

    Episode 8.02 What's Up, Tiger Mommy?

    We all remember the origin of the tagline, “the destiels will never have that now,” right? When Sam hugs Cas in 9.11, folks cheered that Cas hugged Sam before he hugged Dean, as proof that Dean doesn’t like Cas or some nonsense. And then everyone else just laughed at them, because the destiels had already had the destiel reunion hug in this episode for like a year and a half. So we decided we will also have THIS now! I swear this episode is about a lot of other stuff, too. We can have it all now! Including some LINKS! The Superwiki page My tag Lizbob’s Dean and Cas are In Love series, revived for one last ride… (part 1) (part 2) (part 3) (part 4) (part 5) And now that all of those are posted, we’re on our own for the destiel insight. But trust us, it’s there all over the place :’)

    Episode 8.01 We Need to Talk About Kevin

    Welcome to Carver Era! Sam hit a dog, and Dean spent a year in Purgatory. Wait, where's Cas, and why is Dean resurrecting and then hugging a vampire? Now you're all caught up! Kinda... :'D Sometimes I think we need to talk about Kevin so we won't have to talk about any of THAT ^^ yet. But since we're here to talk about all of it, that's what we're gonna do. :) LINKS!

    Episode 7.23 Survival of the Fittest

    As we bid farewell to the Gamble Era and usher in Carver era, Kevin goes from having leviathan troubles to demon troubles, Cas chooses to take responsibility for himself and he and Dean are destined for Purgatory, and poor Sam is left standing all alone in the aftermath... at least the leviathans are effectively washed from the earth... Gosh that makes it sound like not much of import happens in this one. I'm really underselling it here, so instead let's just jump to... LINKS!
