15.16 Drag Me Away (From You)

[Tim]

This was mostly a stand alone episode with Dean and Sam going off to face a monster from their childhoods.  Liked the flashback scenes of kid Dean and Sam.

However, right in the middle of the proceedings, Billie pops in and tells Dean that soon, Chuck will be knocking on their door.  And they better be ready.  Yikes!

And it looks like Dean and Sam may be having a rift as the episode ends.  Not the time, guys, so not the time!

I will have to catch up next week what I haven't seen although I am doing holiday club Monday. But you know me I'll say that and not do it and so will have to force myself then.

What really sells this episode is the scene with Billie.  It just comes right out of nowhere.

The Billie stuff was interesting.

I liked the flashbacks but to do that one this close to the end, I'm surprised this didn't happen earlier in the season. I read online fans felt it wasn't necessary this close to the series finale and the flashback/case fitted earlier in the season.

Perhaps this replaced another story idea that fell through.  Maybe that's why the Billie stuff seemed right out of left field, it was kept from the abandoned story.

Could be Tim, perhaps they wanted to save money on budget too for the last two episodes, so went for the flashbacks, or to give Jensen and Jared more time off. 

It just felt so out of place, apart from the Billie stuff, which could have easily been added into last weeks episode.

Was Dean the only one who could see an hear Billie?  No one else seemed to noticed this African-American woman popping in out of nowhere.
