Rewatching Death Takes a Holiday

Welcome to “All This Ep Needs Is Cas and a Pottery Wheel: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s4e15: Death Takes a Holiday

Bobby alerts the boys to a town where no one has died for weeks—even those who definitely should have, like a man who was shot point-blank in the chest. Upon investigation, they find the last person to die in the town, a teenager named Cole, who reports that when he died a Reaper appeared but was then taken away by black smoke. With help from Pam, Sam and Dean enter the spirit world, where they discover that Alastair is kidnapping reapers because killing Reapers is one of the seals. They are able to stop Alastair from breaking the seal, but Pam is killed by a demon before they can help her. After the boys stop Alaister, he confronts Dean alone and tells Dean that he cannot escape him. Castiel appears, zapping Alastair away, and congratulates Dean on stopping the seal from breaking before revealing that it was not Bobby who called them about the town, but him. Dean askes Cas why they can’t make more exceptions about who has to die—after all, Cas saved him from hell. Dean is unimpressed by Cas’s answer that Dean is different.

Below is a log of our real-time reactions as we watched. Remember that there may be spoilers for any part of SPN’s 15-season run here. Note also that the nature of our conversation is adult and thus it may contain adult language and themes.

Lor:

Mace:

right?

Lor:

and Dean trying to tell her she's going somewhere better after that speech Tessa just gave him

Mace:

yeah

I don’t really get why they’d write that for him

Lor:

yeah, it seems like he's holding onto the idea of a better place way harder than I'd expect him to

Mace:

yeah, it doesn't track

he’s too pessimistic, and he knows she’s too smart to believe him

Lor:

yeah

Mace:

and he’s generally not insincere

Lor:

nope

Mace:

overall, pretty sloppy writing in that one

Lor:

both of the boys lied to dying/dead people in this ep, and they both feel a little ooc
