"It's weird, you know your life . . . I mean, this house and a kid . . . it's not my life. Never will be. Some stuff happened to me recently, and, uh . . . Anyway, a guy in my situation - you start to think, you know. I'm gonna be gone one day, and what am I leaving behind besides a car?"
I have mixed feelings on this episode - not because of the episode as a stand alone, because as a stand alone Season 3 episode, it was fine, aside from the fact that creepy kids creep the hell out of me. But it bugs me because I love, love, looooooooooved Ben in this episode, so much. Loved him. And it royally ticked me off when he was just not quite the same kid in Season 6. Is it the difference between 8 and 11? How'd such a cool kid become such an annoying pre-teen? Ugh. Anyway.
Other thoughts:
- Dean spent a weekend with Lisa almost nine years ago. One weekend, with no contact afterwards, and yet Lisa's the one who he wanted to spend his life with years later. Was it Ben that made him want to be with her? Was it that life? Because Cassie from Season 1 was apparently the "love of his life" and she never got another mention.
- Ben was so awesome. So awesome. Makes me so sad how NOT awesome he was in Season 6.
- Dean's face as he does the math and knocks over the garbage pale - so awesome.
- Katie Cassidy's Ruby reminds me so much of Veronica Mars in this episode. "I'm interested in you. Because you're tall."
- "Only bitches send a grownup." "You're not wrong." "And I'm not a bitch."
