Discussion of 2.04 "Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things" - Aired 10/19/06 (CW-US)

[Death]

As Sam buries their father's dog tags at their mother's grave, Dean suspicions are aroused when they notice dead plants over the nearby grave of the recently deceased young woman Angela Mason (Tamara Feldman). They soon discover that the woman's cheating boyfriend was murdered the previous night. Sam and Dean dig up her grave and find the coffin empty. They deduce that her close friend Neil (Christopher Jacot), who was secretly in love with her, resurrected her as a zombie. Having killed her boyfriend, her next target is her roommate, with whom her boyfriend had been cheating. However, Sam and Dean save the woman and kill the zombie with a silver stake. Dean later apologizes to Sam for his recent behavior, and reveals he has had trouble coping with his guilt over their father's death.

I always found the Mary grave a bit weird, not sure about Dean's reaction to going there.

Oh the intro of Casa Erotica!

I like that Dean knows that there's something going on, and does look into it, but he's a little too focused the case and wanting to kill something.

Dean's confession, about dying and staying dead, and how he blames himself for John's death and working out that John made a deal for his life was so sad

Dean's "What's dead should stay dead" is interesting in light of everything that would happen later.

"What's dead should stay dead!"

Confessing his pain to Sam and his belief that John gave his life so Dean could live.

Rating - 6.5/10 (the brother stuff is the only reason to keep going back)
