this week's Supernatural

[ratcreature]

This week's episode wasn't much fun to watch for me. It was really hard on my embarrassment squick in long stretches, which was made even more annoying by the fact that if it had been an older guy with a younger woman it would have never been played as "obviously" ridiculous, and the older woman being a lecherous pervert.

The rest of the case wasn't so bad, even though I found it kind of annoying that apparently killing a cousin as a teenager in a car accident (I assume it was accidentally), is as bad as murdering your family for their money. Also I didn't quite understand what Sam used to summon the murderous brother of the ghost. I mean, what was that that he plunked into the pentagram?

I guess after comic fandom I'm completely desensitized towards inappropriate clothing, so depressing as it is that kind of thing barely even registers anymore for me, though of course it sucks. But I would have found the ep more palatable if they'd just toned it down a little. Maybe if they had made the old lady and her attention towards Sam eccentric and a little bit charming rather than shameless groping, and Sam merely a bit embarrassed, or he could have been just plain opportunistic in his playing along to take the advantage and just been a bit more professional about this.
