When the witch-demon (did she have a name?) had Sam sliding up the wall, did anyone else want her to get him all the way up to the ceiling, cut him open, and set him on fire?
My brother! He was calling for one of them to get pinned to the ceiling and set ablaze all episode, and he was excited and then disappointed when Sam got pinned to the wall.
Really, my brother's the only reason I've kept watching this season. Circumstances kept me from ever getting involved in SPN fandom itself; I just knew the show from mainlining all the current episodes partway through Season 2. Then I forced them on my brother last summer, and he got into it enough for us to watch the rest of Season 2 and for him to get excited for Season 3. Although his habit has always been one to pooh-pooh my slashy ways, he really likes to tune in and giggle at all the Sam/Dean moments.
Meanwhile, I've just been getting more and more disgruntled--the episodes and the arcs are all just so sloppy, and I increasingly get the feeling that TPTB just don't want anyone who actively respects women to enjoy watching. But my brother's enthusiasm has kept me watching with him for now, although he also complained in this last episode about the sloppiness (even more so than the general mocking he does of all the episodes). Oh, well, I feel like in the meantime, it's giving me some good teachable moments to get him to think more about feminism--he asked whether Dean's stabbiness seemed kind of disturbing, and I didn't hesitate to agree and elaborate on that.
