As promised, like ten days ago ... here be the Nightshifter picspam/commentary.



Okay, so the very first glimpse we get of the boys is Dean on camera, holding a hostage. I immediately thought 'OMG it's a shapeshifter holding these people hostage.' And ahaha, I was kinda wrong but kinda right? Because this is alllll Dean. And my word, he's pretty.

And okay, I feel the need to say here that yes, this shirt is kind of hideous in theory. But bb wears the SHIT out of it, and looks tasty for the entire thing.

You know what else is tasty? Men in suits.

Dean flirting with the jewelry girl, who I don't think is that cute, but whatever. It's Dean. He's a whore, I know this.

Okay, so Sam? RIDICULOUSLY HOT in this episode. Starting with the Fed Suit and the combed back hair.
Le Sigh.



You're a true patriot, you really are. Why don't you write your number down there for me, that'd be good.




hahah oh Dean, you are a handsome bastard, and I still really love when you do the hand over the mouth thing.

Okay, now here we go with the introduction to MY FAVORITE SECONDARY CHARACTER EVER. I feel I must explain. Bobby is awesome, yes, he is. But in a way, I don't really consider him secondary. I know a lot of people think anyone beyond Sam and Dean are in this clump of characters, but I do not. So, for me, the secondaries are more like the characters involved in a case. ANYWAY. I don't know why I'm explaining this. Because Ronald Reznik is a beautiful character and I shouldn't to explain my love.


I just love the way Sam says "Mr. Reznik. Ronald Reznik." Hee.

RONAAAAALLLLLLLDDDDDD!


Synchronized badges. Hee!


CHEESEHEADS AHAHAHAHA YES!


Sam, you such an ass in this scene, but you're amazing pretty. Dean, too, even if you're in the background. I kind of love that Sam takes over questioning here and gets kinda crabby, like a real Fed. Plus, when they talk about the Juan Doll, or they even say the name Juan, I always laugh, thinking of the gag reel when he says it all exaggerated-like. Huuu-uan.


Okay, so a bit of a confession. I totally threw Fortean Times into the J2!MIB story and NO ONE picked up on it. You all fail as fangirls.

Chinese have been working on 'em for years. And the Russians before that. Part men, part machine. Like the Terminator. But the kind that can change itself, make itself look like other people.


Like the one from T2.


Exactly!




See, so not just a robot, more of a, uh, a Mandroid.

Okay, so Ronald shows the tapes with the LASER EYES, hahah, IDEK. It cracks me up that he's done all this research and he knows something's off, and he's explaining exactly what's going wrong - it kills the real person then morphs into something similar, the laser eyes, etc. - but he's just using bad wording and thinks it's the Chinese and the Russians. Poor Ronald.

In the meantime? Boys are listenin' and looking FOOOOOOOOOINE.





Okay. I want you to listen very carefully. Because I'm about to tell you the God's honest truth about all of this.




There's no such thing as Mandroids. There's nothing evil or inhuman going on out there. Just people. Nothing else, you understand?


The laser eyes.




Just a camera flare, Mr. Resnick. Look, I know you don't want to believe this. But your friend Juan robbed the bank and that's it.

And then Ronald yells at them and kicks them out, and I feel bad for him. So bad.

Interesting thing here ... with Dean's little faces while Sam shuts Ronald down ... the transcript says DEAN is mostly keeping a straight face, but is clearly startled. He starts to say something. I always took that face as him being a little excited that they could share the truth with Ronald. Because he's obviously already amused by the guy, and I would think they could tell Ronald the truth and not fear a weird backlash. Because A) Ronald would probably LOVE hearing it, and B) if he went and told anyone about it, they'd never believe him, based on his wall decor. And so that second look of oddness, I took this as Dean being a little disappointed they couldn't, or even bothered by Sam being so uptight (like he says later at the hotel, that he was too good a Fed).

Hey guess what guys? Sammy's in a hoodie!




And Dean's in a HENLEY! NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM


I kind of love that Dean's doing the little map drawy thing here. So often we see him being kinda lazy while Sam does research. Dean's got brains y'all.


Hey pretty


*
*
*
*
*

Dean checks out the lady's ass, and his face is fucking priceless




Okay, so they spot the Bank Manager as the shifter, then Ronald comes in and the show gets going.


What the- You! Get on the floor, now.


Okay, we're doing that. Just don't shoot anybody, especially us.
(I kind of love how easily he does it and the tone of his voice)


I knew it. As soon as you two left. You ain't FBI. Who are you? Who are you working for, huh? The men in black? You working for the mandroid?


We're not working for the mandroid!


You, shut up! I ain't talking to you, I don't like you.




Alright. Fair Enough.

They find Dean's knife and Sam gives his little bitch face



I'm not just gonna walk in here naked!
(oh bb, we'd loooooooove that)


Who is that man?


He's my brother.
So here it says "Worried" but I always took it as more annoyance of the situation and that Dean went off with Ronald while Sam has to stay in there. But at least he rolls his eyes when she's all "He's so brave."

*
*
*
*
*

SO. DEAN? YOU ARE HOT.




*
*
*
*
*


Has your brother always been so, um, wonderful? I mean, staring down that gun. And you know, the way he played right into that psycho's crazy head, telling him what he wanted to hear, I mean, he's like, a real hero or, or something.
YES SHERRY YES HE'S ALWAYS BEEN SO WONDERFUL.

*
*
*
*
*

OKAY OKAY THIS IS MY FAVORITE SCENE OF THE ENTIRE EP.


Now stay here, make sure Ronald doesn't hurt anybody, okay? Help him manage the situation.


Help him manage? Are you insane?




Look, I know this isn't going the way we wanted,


Understatement!


But if we invite the cops in right now, Ronald gets arrested, we get arrested, the shifter gets away, probably never find it again, okay?

Sam gives his bitchface at Ronald being out in the open.

Ron! Out of the light!


Seriously?!


Yeah, Ron's game plan was a bad plan, I mean, it was a bit of a crazy plan, but right now crazy's the only game in town, okay?




Hi, Ronald.
(Ohhhh Sam, you're so adorable when you're pathetic.)

*
*
*
*
*

Dean goes off and finds the black dude in the ceiling, the security guard is having a heart attack, Sam walks them out, but the black guy gets away and Ronald's shot in the open. Sigh. Ronald.

Dean grabs the guns and does a whole "Sorry, Ron. You did a real good job tracking this thing, you really did."

Aww. I seriously love that Dean is really into Ronald and explained the whole thing to him, that he's amused by the guy, and all around just being friendly for once.

*
*
*
*
*

As an aside, can I just note how little I like the fact that there is a VAULT full of people and of course the bad guy is the lone black guy? It's always bugged me, I don't know. You can tell me I'm overly sensitive or looking for a fight, but seriously ...

*
*
*
*
*


We are so screwed.

*
*
*
*
*


Crap.


What?

The feds are here.


Oh, crap.

ENTER HENDRICKSON THE SECOND COOLEST SECONDARY CHARACTER EVER.

I don't give a rats ass what you do, you can go get a donut and bang your wife for all I care. What I do need is your S.W.A.T. team locked and loaded.

*
*
*
*
*


Yeah, well, that part's true, but how'd you even know we were here?


Go screw yourself, that's how I knew. It's become my job to know about you, Dean. I've been looking for you for weeks now. I know about the murder in St. Louis, I know about the Houdini act you pulled in Baltimore. I know about the desecrations and the thefts. I know about your dad.


Hey, you don't know crap about my dad.


Ex-marine, raised his kids on the road, cheap motels, backwoods cabins. Real paramilitary survivalist type. I just can't get a handle on what type of whacko he was. White supremacist, Timmy McVeigh, to-may-to, to-mah-to.


You got no right talking about my dad like that. He was a hero.

And I swear to God, he says it like Brock Kelly in After School Special. All HEE-ROHH. Hahah.

*

They let/make Sherry go, and it's so funny to me their faces when they take her to see the dead body and she faints.









And then she wakes up while they're fighting, Sam takes her away, and Dean goes after the shift. Once again, it cracks me up to see Dean getting his ass kicked by a girl - supernatural or not.


*
*
*
*
*

We all know what happens next. Feds come in, Hendrickson walks around carrying his gun like a pussy.


Blah blah blah, Dean kills the shifter, Sam beats up some Feds, Hendrickson and his guys can't find the Winchesters, and cue the baddest ending scene ever.



I love the exaggerated beats and how they draw it out until the guys are done with the "We're so screwed" bit in the car.

But also? They still look really hot with the caps pulled up.
