I really, really need to watch it again, this time without the distractions of a mother who is apparently phobic about this particular badie (who knew?) and a father who's not really that into the show.

That said,
oh lordy. Ouch. Just... all the way through, ouch.

I like the new crew thus far. Ash in particular, not the least because I have an established thing for characters who are far, far more than they seem. I think it's related to the fairytale plots wherein the lowly servant turns out to be a princess, etc., except I'm apparently just as amused when you substitute 'possibly drunken slacker' for 'servant' and 'mathematical/technical genius' for 'princess'. (And yes, I did just flash to John Sheppard. Shut up.)

Granted, I need to go back and check, but there was a moment there that made me go hmm. I have this weird sensation - and this is a left field guess, folks, since I'm unspoiled and trying to stay that way - that it would be a really bad idea for Dean to hit on Jo. As in, their children would be inbred. Just wild speculation, based solely on that last scene in the bar, and the way Ellen got all funny when Dean tried to work himself up to a decent come-on. Then again, I may just be nuts.

Dean crumbling at the end, though. Oh. I love the parallel with the Bloody Mary smash.

And that's all I can really say until I get to scrutinize in detail. Thoughts?

Especially since the mom looked mighty shifty eyed when she saw Dean and Jo flirting.

So I wasn't imagining that? I went back and watched again, and I kept waffling between her looking vaguely weirded out and faintly amused. I can't decide whether she's thinking, Well, damn, guess I'll have to tell them or Ah, to be young and dumb again. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who thought there was something a little fishy to her there.

I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. *g*

And yes, Ash may be the coolest ever. I love the whole 'Yeah, go ahead and underestimate me. I could build a particle accelerator with your bathtub and some duct tape' vibe he had going. Like Macgyver in a mullet.
