I guess “Gen X Tv References” are the gimmick for S5. So far we’ve had
A reference to “Dynasty”
A “Smurfs” reference
A TMNT reference
A “Mr. Wizard” reference
Am I missing anything?

I loved the humor in this one, the man whose face froze like that, and Dean tried to show Sam what face he’d made.



Castiel and the Whoopie cushion (I don’t think he understood the concept at first), Castiel being turned into an action figure, the electrified ham, etc. But I had this strange feeling that I’ve seen this exact episode before. Not in the “haven’t we done this idea before?” way but in the “this episode has literally aired before” way.

Maybe it’s just me and my thing acting up again- why can’t it ever be something useful?

I appreciate the point they're trying to make with the things Sam said to the kid, but wasn't Sam supposed to be the Anti Christ? Or was that more of a "well, we have several candidates and we're just waiting to see who runs with it" type thing? BEcause SaM was actually, according to current canon, not the Anti Christ but Lucifer's vessel, which is apparently not the same thing?

So the Anti Christ is now in Australia? I thought he was going to turn out to be secretly evil anyway, and when we saw his sleeping parents, they'd turn out to be dead.

It's also traditional that the mother of the Anti Christ is the opposite of the mother of Christ, I thought. She could still be an inoccent victim, but not such an incredibly random one...

I also had issues with the treatment of the demon possessed version of the mother in general, but whatever.
