Season 4, Episode 6: Yellow Fever

"Us?  Right.  And that Sam, that is exactly why our lives suck.  I mean, come on, we hunt monsters!  What the hell?!  I mean, normal people, they see a monster, and they run.  But not us, no, no, no, we -- we search out things that want to kill us.  Yeah?  Huh?  Or eat us!  You know who does that?  Crazy people!  We . . . are insane!  You know, and then there's the bad diner food and then the skeevy motel rooms and then the truck-stop waitress with the bizarre rash.  I mean, who wants this life, Sam?  Huh?  Seriously?  Do you actually like being stuck in a car with me eight hours a day, every single day?  I don't think so!  I mean, I drive too fast.  And I listen to the same five albums over and over and over again, and I sing along.  I'm annoying, I know that.  And you -- you're gassy!  You eat half a burrito, and you get toxic!  I mean, you know what?  You can forget it . . . .  Stay away from me Sam, okay?  Cause I am done with it.  I'm done with the monsters and -- and -- and the hellhounds and the ghost sickness and the damn apocalypse.  I'm out.  I'm done.  Quit."

This episode was my favorite episode for a long time, and the only reason why it doesn't still hold that title is because Castiel isn't in it.  This is Supernatural at its very best and I have watched this episode more times than I can count.  From the opening scene to the closing Eye of the Tiger extra - absolutely brilliant.

What I said then:

"OK, I don't know what's going on in this episode, but Dean running from a little Yorkie puppy girl is seriously awesome. #Supernatural #Season4"
"Is it bad that every time I see someone running on my way to work, #Supernatural has now conditioned me to think a demon will get them?"
"This show is amazing enough without the awesome soundtrack.  But the awesome soundtrack is amazing.  #Supernatural #Season4"
"Dean has ghost sickness! #Supernatural #Season4"
"HA!!!!  He got ghost sickness because he's a dick!  Seriously.  That is the plot of this episode.  I. LOVE. THIS. SHOW. #Supernatural #Season4"
"Dean's girly scream when the cat jumped out of the locker followed by his "That was scary!"  I am dying here.  Dying. #Supernatural #Season 4"
"OH. MY. GOD.  "#Supernatural Presents Jensen Ackles" lip syncing to Eye of the Tiger . . . I cannot handle this.  #Season4"

And on my millionth rewatch:

• The Yorkie at the beginning - second Yorkie reference on the show but this is the first one we see live, and she's precious.  What I hope my Lacey will look like once I get her.
• Does the spleen juice on Sam count as blood spatter?
• Dean laughing at "gamecocks" reminds me of Rachel and Joey laughing at "homo erectus" in Ross's speech in Barbados
• Dean talking about Frank - "Good man."  "Big heart."  Oh Dean.
• The snake scene just made me think of Serpessence.
• Everything line Dean gives in the car when they figure out he's infected is amazing.
• "Safety's a crime now?"
• "Did I just say that?  That was kind of weird."
• "Am I haunted?  Am I haunted?!"
• "Well then you're a dick too."  "Apparently I'm not."
• I love the hidden words jumping out at Dean in the book while he's researching - "You're dying . . . again . . . Loser . . . you gonna cry?"
• "I don't wanna be a clue!"  Precious.
• Dean's little smile when he says "I'll man the flashlight."

look at that face

• The scream with the cat . . . I can't.  Every time I see it I laugh.  Every single time.
• Drunk Dean telling the guy at the sheriff's station "you're awesome."
• Luther's brother seems kinda young to be in a nursing home.
• Dean's speech is another classic.  Could there BE more amazing Dean moments in this episode?
• Sierra McCormick is my favorite Lilith by far.  
• The boys drink beer outside the Impala a LOT - do they drink and drive?
• Speaking of them drinking, whenever they do, I think of Erin's comments that it looks like they're making out with the beer bottles.  Which they do.
• EYE OF THE TIGER LIP SYNCING!!!!!!!!!!
