Sorry, it took me a couple of days to get back here. Your cupcakes look awesome! Were the black forests the ones with the cherries? 'Cause damn. My crappy banana nut muffins from the 99-cent mix were just sad.

I've always liked Emily better with Aiden than with Jack. Aiden knows her as she is now and their shared Revenge Sensei training gives them a bond that seems more physical, philosophical, and more adult. Having said that, though, I got a feeling when she embraced Aiden - with him talking about never having "to see any…

Hoping we return to the mystery of the Undead Radio Hour. I hope, after all their excitement during the drug run and in spite of Daryl's inevitable and justified miffiness at Carol's unlegislated banishment, that the road-trip gang remembers to mention that they heard voices still flickering on the airwaves.
I think…

There was styling?

And did I hear right that Becky is using the last name "Winchester"? Does that mean that she and Sam are still married? He looked pretty chagrined.

I don't think you're a lightweight, @zombi3cat:disqus . There is no real level of fortitude available to humans that renders them impervious to flying monkeys.

Definitely - the Impala is part of his identity and has been his constant, all tied to John. If he's - for want of a better word - nesting in the lair, then it stand to reason that he would be kind of ship-shape about it, also from his dad's influence (even though JW was a Marine, not a sailor - I couldn't think of a…

Loved getting to see more of the Hyperion, er, Men of Letters lair: long hallways with many rooms still to explore, the industrial-strength kitchen, the little corner chair with a lamp and bookshelves, the smokin' garage, the secret computer room, and Sam's bedroom (to contrast with our previous view of Dean's…

Yes, but did you get to eat the cupcakes?

I loved Dorothy for similar reasons, @avclub-7adb6a50e7687b45a00b35796f18f17d:disqus . I liked the off-center hair bun, the badass leather jacket and, most of all, the old-timey cut of her trousers. It's always amusing to watch women's pants in old movies because people didn't seem to know how to cut pants to fit…

Sorry if this has been mentioned - but: the girl crawling out of the TV in the American re-make of The Ring (also, when the horse flipped out and jumped off the ferry to be chewed up in the ship's screws).

Ah, OK, thanks @avclub-c52dd22ac7531b5c4f2e4142701edff7:disqus - I frequently got the stupid of Lori and Andrea mixed up. But I'm super happy we've weeded out the dumb characters - Go Darwin!

Well, not so much "mowing" as reloading quickly. But yeah, I was thinking of Omar during that scene too.

The last time I saw him was in a recent re-watch of Bowling for Columbine and he was thin and eloquent and sharp. Man, he's been enjoying the good life a bit too much. He really is, as you say @avclub-7a5a3fe4ae33de425d06ac4fe8d097d2:disqus , noticeably a middle-aged man gone to seed. At some point, he's got to…

But did I see right…next week, Britta?!

Yeah, it was an unfortunate replay of the time that Andrea took off driving down the road in a hissy and used a road map to block her entire face from the windshield, hit one random walker, and proceeded to wreck the car. This time, with 4 people looking straight ahead and no big map blocking their view, how could not…

Likewise, the conversation between Conrad and Charlotte about how one was sorry for messing with the brakes and almost killing the other one, who talked about how a little attempted murder between family was OK as long as it brought them closer together — and neither one seeming to remember the dead priest on the side…

Since there was an Aliens vibe in the hidden ductwork lair of the girl, was there also a Terminator 2 moment of Shaw cocking that gun with her uninjured arm?

Yes, but you'd likely break your hand on his giant teeth. I never thought his face could get more creepy, until he smiled.

Ooh, nice dichotomy you've pointed out, @avclub-2f2b7ca7553ba4230cad836ea1125578:disqus ! The woman was an effective way for Cas to see the unvarnished product (faith) before it's passed through the machinery of the prayer pipeline. Simplistic, true, but fitting with the basic functions of humanity that Cas probably…
