so
wait
lemme get this straight
spn brought back an interesting female side character with a rich inner life and backstory that doesn’t involve the winchesters
and not only didn’t kill her off, but gave her a same-sex love interest
and then not only let them make-out on screen (without even framing it like sexual fanservice for the male viewers) but did not make that love interest evil or have her die
and let that female side character drive most of the plot and even save the day in large part on her own
who are you and what did you do with my show
whatever you did don't stop doing it, THINK ABOUT HOW MANY PITFALLS THAT NORMALLY PLAGUE SPN THAT THIS EPISODE COMPLETELY CIRCUMVENTED, supernatural, spoilers.
Oh man, not even to mention all the UNAPOLOGETIC NERDING OUT DEAN DID, AND MOST OF THE NERDS HAVING STEADY JOBS AND RELATIONSHIPS AND STUFF. AND ALL THE WOMEN WHO WERE SO FLAWLESS. AND DEAN LOOKING AT CHARLIE AND GILDA NOT WITH HNNGH LESBIANS BUT INSTEAD WITH KIND OF WISTFUL LONGING BECAUSE HE WANTS THAT. AND THE MEDIEVAL NICE GUY GETTING SERVED. UGH IT WAS SO GOOD.
IT WAS THE BEST, I'M ALMOST IN TEARS. PRAISE BE.
