An excerpt:
“The metal duct is claustrophobic and twisty, and Dean crawls through this with much flashing of flashlight and much groaning and kvetching, having lost at Rock, Paper, Scissors yet again.(As he does. As he always does. I love it when Show remembers continuity moments like this.) The one made out of dirt is straight and just about the same size. And even though the MOW drags bodies through both tunnels apparently with ease, but Dean’s only got about, oh, one inch to spare on either side. Hey, I’m not looking at his powerful and broad manly shoulders as he crawls through the tunnels, I’m not. I was not absorbed in watching them churn, in watching the pull of his shirt over his arms. No. I was thinking about the plot. Totally.”

An excerpt:
“First up: Interior motel room, day. Dean is spread out artfully on the bed reading the books while Sam does research on his laptop. It’s a pretty basic scene, nothing we’ve not seen before, except Dean is complaining about being naked and having sex all the time in the books, and has anyone bothered to tell him how provocative it is when he poses like that? Then Sam shows Dean the fansite about the books, which, when Dean looks at, he remarks that fans sure do complain a lot. Hey! I resemble that remark and I’d like to lodge a complaint! Of course we complain, we wouldn’t complain if we didn’t care, you know? I also wanted to jump up and defend my status as a Samgirl, too, which is just silly, because why on earth would I need to defend my choices to a fictional character? Such is the power of an ep like this that comes very close to breaking through the fourth wall, and manages to make a running commentary about both itself and its devoted audience.”
