YMMV / Supernatural S 08 E 01 We Need To Talk About Kevin

• Creator Backlash: Sam quitting hunting, not checking his messages, and effectively abandoning Kevin so he could be guilted into adopting a dog by his soon-to-be-girlfriend was bewildering and out of character. Jared Padalecki himself expressed displeasure at the storyline, calling it out of character for Sam.
• Epic Riff: "Locomotive Breath" by Jethro Tull plays over The Road So Far.
• Fanfic Fuel: Purgatory has produced a lot of fanfiction, with Benny often referred to as Dean's Cajun sidepiece.
• Ho Yay: The entire Purgatory story produces enough to have given Tumblr a nervous breakdown. Benny and Dean certainly seem to have bonded over the course of the year they fought together, and Dean is grief-stricken over losing Cas.
