lol the first set of initials on the roster is QIR

Lata: "I think it might be time to get a clubhouse cat." it does feel like they're one species short

Dean: "This is not how I saw things going when I pushed over that first domino. Thing is, I've had more than a few dances with free will and fate. But as my dad used to say, fate is what you make it."

in which Dean realizes that he's also pushing Mary and John together, but it's him doing it so it's okay

also the fact that a spinoff of Supernatural, famously the source of Omegaverse, keeps referring to Kyle as Omega Man is certainly a choice

okay I know nothing about cars so when I first saw this scene I was like BABY?!?!?! but I'm pretty sure it's not her. How fucking funny would that be though if the guy they're looking for just casually passes behind them, all of them minding their own business not noticing each other?

DEAN AND BABY ARE HERE, LET'S GOOOOOO

Carlos gets a musical number, guess there's singing in Supernatural after all

Samuel: "You could've been anything, Mary, anything. But when I put that knife in your hands, I chose this life for you. I forced you to follow in my footsteps just like my dad forced me. It was wrong. I don't want you to hate me like I hated him."

I love that for Dean to get a universe with a shot at letting his parents be happy he had to find one where literally everyone has much higher emotional intelligence than where he comes from

John: "I know I've only been hunting for five minutes, but she hasn't slept a good night since you've been gone. Least you could do is treat her more like a daughter and less like a soldier."

so you agree, that's a fucked up way to treat a kid?

John: "In 'Nam, some of the older guys, they would tell stories about how everybody thought that they were gonna die, so they would do all kinds of crazy stuff like get drunk and boost cars, just 'cause they thought they didn't have to live with the consequences."

Mary: "Are you saying we should've boosted a car while we had the chance?"

John: "I'm saying that our kiss, it wasn't that for me. I wanna live with the consequences. And I hope that you do too."

I can't help but feel like this is pointed shade at Cas's confession

Dean: "Being a hunter means living a life of sacrifice. Not a lot of room for dreams. But you open your heart, and get a little lucky, you'll find you gain more than you lose."

Dean's finally starting to believe a better ending is possible for him

Guest starring WHO?! oh gods am I in the headspace for a Gabriel episode?

Tom Welling was not who I was expecting to play Samuel, considering he has hair

John does what Dean couldn't after getting himself and his love trapped in a dead end: kisses them goodbye

lol at John trying to Captain America the Akrida with a trashcan lid, good luck sweetie

so weird that Henry's only on screen for like ten seconds, I'm assuming they cut his scenes?
