Did Dean pay the stripper enough to cover the cost of her bra?

Did she have an extra bra she could put on when she went home?

Why not give him her panties instead which are cheaper and actually smell? (Which is the whole point of having lingerie on your face.)

Do the writers of Supernatural think all strippers are party girls without ambitions when in reality they're ordinary women with mortgages and tuition?

You know, we all assumed she was a stripper. Maybe she wasn't. Maybe Dean just went to a bar and found a chick who carries a whip.

(And I assume she wrote off the bra as a business loss.)

Did the woman Dean picked up wear a Zorro mask?

Things I didn't love about this episode

I agree that the opening scene went on way too long, although the kid playing Shawn was great, but the thing that irked me was that they left Jack alone in the Bunker, after Sam had been so insistent on taking him along on their previous hunt. Jack is still a newbie and I felt sorry for him being left alone - I'd have been happier if they'd just added the line "Jody's gong to call in on him."

Great poll, I love "Sam's entire awkwardly endearing Operation Make Dean Happy" - it was so sweet, awww!

We were thinking that Sam could've called Jack himself while he was heading out alone -- they wouldn't have had to get any lines from the actor, just have Sam on the phone saying something like, "Yes, you can finish the bagel bites, but eat an apple too, and by the way be careful not to touch any of the dangerous and powerful artifacts that may be scattered about our place and in retrospect maybe leaving you alone there wasn't my best idea?"

(...okay I can see why the ep didn't...)

Ha, that would have been great!

Hey, I can take the poll as long as I get here from a browser and not the lame app! Anyhoo, this ep. In spite of the unfunny Son of Ghostfacers opening, I was happily along for the ride right up to the moment Dean pulled out the suicide kit. Way too hasty and stupid. And Sam could have immediately revived him, or at least considered doing so. Sometimes I think the Show has lost respect for us.

Oh, I've never even tried using the app for polls. I always use my browser.

I got a kick out of the "Time traveling ferrets" even though technically they were "dimension traveling", but semantics. Yes I'm old enough to have actually watched that movie when it came out. Very cheesy but hey it featured a very fit Marc Singer in a little leather loincloth so no complaints.

Unanswered questions: Was Dean the whipper or the whippee, per his conversation about the Zorro mask?

My impression on the way the Death thing worked was that it was entirely a surprise to Billie and everyone else - something no one knew about because it had never happened. Which is a good enough handwave for me because Billie. And now Death is a badass.
