I tried to go to bed; it didn’t work.
Firstly - Devil’s Trap. The title referring to the symbol that captured ‘Meg’, right? Now lets not forget that Sam drew some o’dem pretty symbols on the goddamn CAR (*whimper* car!) too. I’d like to state at this point that between now and September I am keeping that FIRMLY in mind, because it quite possibly means (with the significance the title gives it, IT IS SIGNIFICANCE, DAMMIT) that they are SO NOT DEAD and that the symbols will keep them safe from any PSYCHOTIC DEMONICALLY POSSESSED TRUCKERS that might, like, try and finish them off.
OH MY GOD.
Ahem, anyway. Speaking of the car, “No sir. Not everything.” And looking at Dean in the rear view. Broken, broken Dean, but not destroyed Dean, because his family is alive and in the front seat. Also, Sam and Dean are sitting on the left side of the car; John on the right.
It would be in very bad taste to start humming ‘sexual healing’ right now, wouldn’t it?

Okay, so not!possessed Meg? surprisingly not annoying!
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it before, but thus far I’ve found the Meg character so. overwhelmingly. infuriating. The exorcism scene in this ep was no exception. I was grinding my teeth with every bad-girl/innuendo-laden/vixen-villain line. And now I realise why this drove me up the wall, aside from the awful cliche of it.
It’s all becoming clear to me now. What rubbed me the wrong way was the fact that her sass was gendered. It was all about how she was a bad girl, and constantly rehashing those stupid, stupid supposedly provocative lines. This is a big plot hole for me. Because, I dunno, for all that The Demon said “that was my daughter, and my son” (and that even made me cringe a bit), it seems to me that demons are actually DISEMBODIED BLACK CLOUDS OF EVIL. They have neither penis nor vagina, and somehow I doubt they were reared (hahah, reared) within the hegemonic structure of western patriarchy that dictated a gender be assigned to them thru nurture, even if when they’re having a bath together, THERE’S NO PEEPEE OR BOOBOO.
So, possessed!meg? made me mad. Like, the demon that possessed the frigging co-pilot in ‘The Phantom Traveller’ didn’t up and go “say, how about that local sports team?” or “dude, gagging me is kinda gay!” - that one, and the other demons inhabiting male bodies, appear to be sufficiently INHUMAN and thus WITHOUT GENDER.
anyway. I feel better now that it makes sense. It was bugging me, how much it was bugging me.
