I've spent so many season now, worried about Walter losing Peter but never thinking as much about what happens to Peter if he loses his dad. This episode, where he said to Nina, "So, whatever happens, I lose him," made me realize my oversight. The series has so much been about fathers trying to hang on to sons that…

I had to laugh, though, when she stuck her gun in the back of her pj's. I thought, "Wow, those pajama bottoms must have a mother of an elastic waistband!" Pretty sure that something as weighty as that gun would actually just fall right through one of the leg holes, hit the floor, and likely shoot her in the ass. But…

On first glance, I thought you said, "flatulent Spanish speaker."

@avclub-c701a997d9bef627835b036efb4eca63:disqus You're right to describe Walter's analytical focus being simultaneously on emotion and logic because (1) this is the same theme (and strategy) used by Olivia later to appeal to Peter to stop seeking brain-tech revenge against Windmark, and (2) Walter might've…

After the episode ended, I was thinking about that scene when Olivia watches the loyalists scraping off the resistance posters of Etta.

I went all Admiral Ackbar, yelling, "It's a trap!" at the teevee. There might as well have been a big neon sign over that whole road scene.

I think you've hit on a winning formula. Part of the problem every time they're separated is their rocky reunion aftermath when one doesn't truly understand what the other has gone through. Two Winchesters fighting out of a hell dimension together is a fantastic idea!
