Date watched: Thursday, June 11th
Episodes: 1.04 Phantom Traveler


This episode is the first to introduce demons (other than Azazel) and it's interesting to see the early take on them. The black smoke in particular looks very different than it does later in the series.

I think my favorite part of this episode is Dean’s fear of flying. I love that it's such a mundane fear for someone who has experienced everything he has. (By that same token I love Sam's fear of clowns.) It's also hilarious watching Dean when he's irrationally scared which makes me look forward to Yellow Fever.

While watching the episode I couldn't help but reflect on what their life is like on the road. Sam and Dean are always together in the same car and the same hotel room while working the same job. No wonder they end up fighting and briefly splitting up pretty much every year. That much nonstop time with one person, no matter how much you like them, has to drive a person up the wall and they need some privacy sometimes. It makes me even more grateful that they have the bunker now and rooms that they can call their own.

Other random thoughts:

Best line: “Why do you think I drive everywhere Sam!”

Dean trying to get Sam to talk about his nightmares and stuff is such a do what I say not as I do moment.

Wow! This is when homeland security was new. (Dean pointed it out when he forged the IDs)

First time in suits! Dean is so miserable and adorable.
