I loved his various camoflage moves…stuffing the bits of wallpaper in a book, shoving his bed in front of the bare spot, then trying to simply cover it with one hand when his mom came in. Children are so funny when they think adults are blind.

There is nothing sadder than that piece of plywood over the tub/sink (?) in the kitchen. Well, other than living with your dad. Jesus, man, how bad were copywriters paid in the 1960s???

I got the impression that the delivery guy didn't speak much English and that patrician Pete, for all his attention to racial difference, never considered that possibility.

I give you: Robert Evans at Paramount, who first appeared in The Best of Everything as an actor, an adaptation of the novel Betty was reading in bed in the series' first episode. Coincidence (or me having no life…it's a toss-up) or convergence?

The best bit was Stan showing his incredulous amusement freely, while everyone else fought the urge.

Bobby is intensely bothered by wallpaper upon which stars are not properly aligned. He will definitely love sci fi. And maybe theology.

Pete had to be pretty much Rhesus Monkey Sex Guy and wasn't there a random bar dude she picked up? And then there was Duck Philips, who probably made love from

Has anyone mentioned the "Aliens" reference with Dean and Charlie posing as Hicks and Ripley? 'Cause that was a really cool way for Dean to incorporate a female character into his iconic pop culture fake identities.

Poor Sam, a few drops of demon blood as a baby and he forever loses all fashion sense from the neck up. Sometimes his hair is awesome, long, sexy from a particular angle - then something shifts and you wonder if the entire sideburn/hair length ratio is throwing off his eyesight.

I'm waiting for him to go full-on Nic Cage in the 2nd "National Treasure" movie, where the hair seems to be all one length, combed straight back and the sideburns shaved completely off, giving one a penis-head silhouette that is, I have to say, extremely distracting (WAY more so than Tom Hanks's haircut in the

Fer sure. Those motels are fantastic. They always have a little room divider designed around a "theme": fish, hearts, cowboy boots, random 70s geometry (Douglas Sirk would approve). Everything's on the table. Bonus points for wall murals painted as oddly flat tableaux of mountains, deer, and spooky tattered barns.

@avclub-cb0e59b8f769a8698b9f7154dd8809b5:disqus I liked the TNG googleglass game thingie too. It was a cool way to challenge the 'clean' personae of the crew to have them succumb to something as ugly and uncontrolled as addiction, even if it was induced without their foreknowledge. Wesley's nastiness was particularly

Late to the party but Jaws?

Absolutely, ambition rocks on SPN. What was that episode when the brothers worked in the office building and didn't know each other because Zachariah had wiped their memories? They ended up fighting evil anyway and feeling getting chuffed by their own heretofore unknown mad skills at killing creepy things. They wore

I loved that the MOL batcave got to feature so prominently. The maps, the old computers, the books, the multiple levels, the shooting range, the antique accessories. And they have a downstairs?! Is that where the living quarters are. I wish we could track through the whole facility, like we got to do in Firefly to get

…his shoulders are like the word of God.

When Sam had what he felt was a necessary and urgent apology to Dean all ready to go and, instead, his brother just hugged him - well, I'll admit it, I was caught off guard. It wasn't about Sam being subordinate or Dean being an inconsistent control freak or about their recurring trust issues - no, it was a function

Thirded. Jensen Ackles in period costume, whether cowboy or G.I., is just all kinds of awesome. I vote next we try safari guy and right-stuff-era test pilot.

I really liked Dean's crack about Sam's hair - it was kinda meta, considering all the unkind comments this site alone has generated on the subject.

@avclub-2f2b7ca7553ba4230cad836ea1125578:disqus (for below) - too right on the repressing thing about the Dean-Lisa-Ben story taking precedence over Cassie. No matter what Lisa said, I still felt like that kid might've been Dean's, particularly since the first episode with him made a real point to have the boy be a
