She's just awesome. Had things gone in a different direction, with John interrupting the ritual instead of Mary, I figure the boys would have ended up going down a similar path . . . though somewhat more well-adjusted, since Mary would have preestablished contacts and know what she was doing, thus leaving more time to spend with the kids.

Seriously, John left them alone on Christmas. Possibly he could show a little less dedication to the job.

And while Dean has always been sexy, Sam was previously the one I'd feel more like giving a big hug to. Now it's hugging Dean and smacking Sam upside the head.

Oh, and on a non-fictional note, Katey (http://www.youtube.com/user/kateysfirearmsfacts) kicks ten kinds of butt. She was at a gun show with her father when she was twelve, and the cops came to arrest him for criticizing the numerous flaws in the Canadian gun registry. A neighbour stepped in to comfort her, helped to call her mother . . . and the cops arrested her mother, too, when she arrived. The cops then seized all the firearms in their home (her father makes and repairs guns; this destroyed his income) and then seized their home so they couldn't afford to defend themselves. But she's fighting back over youtube, and she's armed and snarky.
