So apparently it's Supernatural Day again? Is this a thing? Is there some significance to 9/13 that I'm missing? Season 9 episode 13 is "The Purge," which has some good moments (yoga Sam, roofied Dean, more yoga Sam... mmmm... excuse me, I need a moment) but isn't exactly earthshattering. Is it a character's birthday? What's the deal with September 13?

ETA... Duh. It’s the day Supernatural first aired. Thanks to kalliel.

Anyway. In honor of the occasion, my friends at the Hot Topical, who are well aware of what I love, emailed me about their new Supernatural fashion collection. Including this awesome skirt that looks like a plaid shirt tied around your waist.


They styled it with a Led Zeppelin t-shirt! Someone over there is watching the show.

Dear lord, I adore this. I'm not going to buy it. I'm a goddamn grownup, and it's okay for my office to be full of toys, but I'm not wearing a skirt that looks like a shirt tied around your waist. (IT HAS SLEEVES.) But somebody needs to.

In other news, apparently Eric Kripke wrote the screenplay for the new movie The House With a Clock in its Walls. And apparently it's based on his favorite book as a child, and apparently that book influenced the show (I mean Show) he created years later. And apparently this movie is full of Supernatural Easter eggs.

CALLING ALL #SPNFamily. This was my fave book as a kid. It DIRECTLY inspired #Supernatural. It's #spn's origin story! Now we made it into a movie! (Loaded with #spn Easter Eggs). Come see Sept. 21. REQUIRED VIEWING FOR FANS. Here's an exclusive clip! @housewithaclock @amblin https://t.co/tt2SPI2GGI

So now I guess I have to watch it. And if this is just a clever way to trick a million people into watching your movie, I’ll be VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Anyway. Stay safe out there!

Let me point out, right off the bat, that I don't expect a lot out of this episode. After last week's great MotW ep, this one is bound to be a pile of boring mytharc. But let us gird our loins and get through it - the only way out is through, after all - and see what awaits us on the other side.

:D

I mean, this entire episode is magnificent, if you skip the Cas & Hannah nonsense. Fucking magnificent. But I'm watching it right now on TNT and I keep replaying my favorite little bits:

Since I don't have a new episode to review this week, let me fill that hole in your life with one of my very favorite things: hurt!Sam fics.
