Supernatural 2x11: Playthings

I WANT THAT DOLLHOUSE. Just putting that out there. :P

This was probably the first episode of season 2 that didn't give us new information about any of the ongoing storylines, but I think after the previous few eps the boys needed a chance to process everything that had happened, and so did we as an audience. I really loved this episode. It gave us some of the greatest brother scenes of the series, IMO, of both the hilarious and heartbreaking varieties, and finally showed us what's going on inside Sam's head with all these revelations about his "destiny."

Things of note -
*Sam calls Ellen AGAIN and ends up taking another case from her. Makes me wish Ellen had been around more in the next few seasons, so we could have seen Sam's bond with her grow while Dean was growing closer to Bobby. Would have been a nice parallel.
*The Patented Sam Winchester Way - angst, droopy music, and staring out rainy windows. Good to know.
*Jared reached his prettiness peak around this episode. No, seriously. That little bit of hair that falls over his forehead during that first motel scene? Mmmmmhmm. Also, this was the last episode in which Mr. Castie appeared.
*While on the subject of prettiness - Sam's denim shirt and Dean's brown Henley. Oh yes. Mmhmm. This was a wonderful episode. ;)
*Sam the doll-lover. CLASSIC.
*Drunk Sam forcing Dean to make a promise. Also classic, but in a very different way. Gorgeous scene. Sam believing that saving people is a way to change his destiny is just plain heartbreaking.
*Sam is a mushy drunk. *nods*
*Dean looked so relieved when he thought Sam didn't remember his promise. Too bad, Dean... he totally did. :(
*Sam's pool rescue was AWESOME. And I mean in the way it was shot as well as the rescue itself. Although it worries me that Sam and Dean do not appear to know CPR.
*I hope they at least ATTEMPTED to burn the bones, whether they thought it was over or not.
*I love that Sam got a hug. He needed one!
*Dean's sideways glance at Sam in the car at the end... how much can be said with just a split-second glance? A whole heck of a lot.

Quotes -

Sam: We've been looking for a month now, and we've got nothing. So I'm not giving up on her, but I'm not gonna let other people die either. We gotta save as many people as we can.
Dean: Wow. That attitude is just way too healthy for me. I'm officially uncomfortable now. Thank you.

Dean: Dude, this is sweet! We never get to work jobs like this.
Sam: Like what?
Dean: Old-school haunted houses, you know? Fog, secret passageways, sissy British accents... might even run into Fred and Daphne while we're inside. Mmm, Daphne. Love her.

Susan: Let me guess - you guys are here antiquing?
Dean: *exchanges sure-let's-go-with-that looks with Sam* How'd you know?
Susan: Oh, you just look the type. So, uh, king-sized bed?

Dean: Course, the most troubling question is, why do these people assume we're gay?
Sam: Well, you are kinda butch. Probably think you're overcompensating.

Sam: You're bossy.
Dean: What?
Sam: You're bossy. You're short. *laughs*
Dean: Are you drunk?
Sam: Yeah. So? Stupid.

Dean: Alright, time for bed. Come on, Sasquatch.

Dean: You know, there's a really good hangover remedy, it's uh... it's a greasy pork sandwich served up in a dirty ashtray.
Sam: *groans* I hate you.
Dean: I know you do.

Dean: You know, she could be faking.
Sam: Yeah, what do you wanna do, poke her with a stick?
Dean: *nods*
Sam: Dude, you're not gonna poke her with a stick!
