The Companion

Got it. I feel like another pass at the script could have gotten me there on this point. I don't think it saves the rest of it for me though.

Maybe that was the intent, but it was not clear to me. She says he wasn't a killer but then says he did it for her. So it doesn't seem like she feels like it is OOC, so much as she feels like he became a killer to protect her. I think, paired with her underwhelming reaction to what he had done, it didn't feel like she was sufficiently shocked. Maybe if she had asked if the change could have affected him or something. And maybe he doesn't know about the effect of the bite, but then why does he hide it when his wife asks if he was bitten? And it isn't like the bite of a werewolf as transmission is obscure lore. That is basic werewolf rules. I don't know. Maybe my dislike of the episode colored my view of these characters.

Maybe because The Slightly Overcast has done almost nothing. 😂 The medical fails and plot holes drove me absolutely bonkers. Look, I get it that rehab and protracted stays in the hospital make bad TV, but FFS an urgent care would be popping them into an ambulance immediately. Not to mention the staff of 1, the lack of security, the failure to secure an apparently suicidal patient, the apparent BLOOD BANK, the presence of those controlled substances in an accessible locker. At least make it a free standing ED. The medical treatments and recovery times were absolutely ridiculous. This. It was a fairly intense scene with serious trigger capabilities. I am surprised by how well-received this one was because I hated it. I hated the retreading of old ground. I hated the lack of dramatic tension because you knew Sam wasn't going out this way. I hated the fact that everyone had to be a complete idiot. You want me to believe that checking for bites isn't SOP? You want me to buy Dean not making even a token effort to revive Sam? You want me to believe that the law enforcement officer just leaves his apparently deas body in the woods? I also haaaaated the wife (apparently I am alone). She did almost nothing. She just stood around. Her response to her husband's apparent murder was minimal. She just rolled over? Like he at the last cookie? What the hell? Then she tries to say her husband was a good guy cause he was only murdering for her? Nope. All the nopes. I found her bland and useless. Meanwhile, this guy knows he is bitten and loooooves his wife enough to murder but does nothing to protect her from him turning (before the wolf takes over). We have had such a string of episodes I loved, but I hated this one. Don't get me wrong. I think JA and JP acted the hell out of it. But the script was a nonstarter for me.

Yeah, as I said it doesn't fully satisfy me either but it gets me closer. I have argued in the past that we have to believe that people can change and that rehabilitation is a possibility. I think, combined with the speech from Dean, that is where they were going with this character.

Exactly. I mean, these artifacts have been around for thousands of years. Given that there have been multiple potential apocalypses and battles over heaven and hell and between heaven and hell, it just seems like at some point someone would have used it. Or unknowingly touched it. I agree on the Gunnar being a good guy thing. I took it to mean that he made the right choice in the end. That he was not just the sum of his bad acts. I mean, Gunnar was objectively a bad guy who murdered a dude while his son waited for him, but I think Dean's perspective is that the right decision in the end and facing the hellhounds spoke more to his character than the acts he did under duress. It still doesn't totally get me there, but it does help. It ties back to Dean's statement that it is never too late to do the right thing.

Yes! This show is best when they work together, IMO. I wondered. I love that detail. I had to quote this because I can't like it a zillion times. Totally agree. The little girl under her bed nearly made my heart stop. She was so so good. True story: my Dad is from a small rural town and calls squirrel "chicken of the trees." 😂 That made me laugh way too hard. Now I gotta work lovin oven into my daily life. I agree. I suspect the souls were returned to the time and place from which they were taken. If there was a body, they snapped back in (we have seen that souls travel back to their bodies if released). If not, they are sent wherever they would go with no body. The wallpaper certainly has a nice Blink/Sally Sparrow feel, doesn't it? Headcanon accepted. Oh man, what a string of great episodes. I loved this one so much. Bobby and Rufus. Working together! Wibbly wobbly stuff!! Lesbians who survive! It's like a checklist of things I like. 😂 The brother hug was amazing. So was the teamwork. I loved the seamless editing and the humor. I also said it above, but this was such well done child in peril work. I found myself so worried about the kids without feeling manipulated. I loved the creepy trapped souls. They were so amazing. My only complaint is something that has bugged me for a few episodes, and it's more of a season arc thing. At the beginning they once again say that The Darkness has gone to ground/is in the wind/is untrackable. The thing about having The Dimness become invisible to justify these side episodes is that it completely takes away any menace she has. It's like, has The Dusk gone off to start a quiet life with a farm somewhere? There is no indication The Poorly Lit Room is gaining speed or momentum, or is planning something. Contrast this with Godtiel or the Leviathans (they are doing bad things but we can't stop them). At this point, you are left wondering if The Poor Visibility is even much of a threat. That is really a minor nit and doesn't at all affect what was, in my opinion, another top notch episode.

I am not a wrestling fan (unless we count watching GLOW, lol), but I did love the way the wrestlers and fans were treated. I am still having trouble believing they can possibly have gone for thousands of years without a human touching them. Plus, they had to be used initially, so how did they get their groove back? This scene was so delightful. I was hoping somewhere here had the answer I loved watching them have fun so much. Their reactions to the match were golden. Plus the fanboy moments and the ring. Even on the fun and funny episodes, the guys aren't typically enjoying themselves. It was really great to see. I wondered if he had. That is awesome. The samples would just end up being haunted. 😂 I have definitely been in sporting events where the guys' line is longer. I loved this episode. We are on a streak of episodes I can say that about. I thought watching the guys have fun was fantastic. I like that there are demons out there trying to skirt the rules, because I would expect that of demons (and of course there is a demon named Duke. Go Tar Heels.). The Crowley/Lucifer story actually kept my attention too. I kept thinking it had to be a trap and wondering if Crowley had caught on. I loved the bar scene and the hungover/still a little drunk scene.

Honestly, I would have assumed the opposite because: 1. It has been around too long to assume it was never touched, and 2. Lore indicated humans couldn't withstand the power for long which would have indicated to me that it had been used before. Honestly, I still don't think it would be unreasonable to wonder if it recharges. The sub was never found and the ship was, which is a sad detail to me because it probably implies the sub was completely destroyed. Yes! This feeling that there is no escape. It was so good/sad/hard to watch. Agree. There have been some really great touches that shorthand a feeling of home. Remind me not to piss you off. Also, I can't help but think of the spiders in the Bad Place from the Good Place. *shudder* Yes to all of this You really nailed it. Also, it's less go-to than the French woman in any story set in Louisiana. I have only known one Desiree, y'all. I swear. 😆 Oh this is bringing cake and claiming it is the same levels of bad. Lol. I did love the way Dean said cool after talking about Rosie the Riveter. It was a nice moment. This episode was beautiful and compelling and heartbreaking. Really one of the best episodes. It reminded me of the Doctor Who time travel episodes where something can't be changed. It makes for a really amazing story when done right. Yet another interesting woman. I loved Delphine. There have been some really great characters this season. I actually enjoyed the Lucifer reveal. He just got sick of pretending. And the way Dean immediately reacted when Sam yelled it wasn't Castiel. Dean's distress was really hard to watch. JA really is amazing.

Me too. I was dreading the reveal and then it turned out okay for me. We have seen Dean struggling with it, and the MoTW actually gave us some insight into his shame. Then the secret and liiiiie was finally resolved and in a way that was fairly supportive, mature and angst free. I ended up liking it. I am not sure when it clicked for Sam, but one of the things I have actually loved from both brothers this season is that there have been episodes when one brother is going through something and the other checks in and makes himself available to talk. It has been really nice to see that they seem attuned to one another without pushing. No person with eyes believes JA has a Dad Bod. Given some of the episodes of this show, I am not sure that certain writers should be permitted anywhere near a kennel. I know there was a lot of disagreement but I loved this discussion. I loved that Sam was supportive and crystal clear that he didn't think it was Dean's fault. This is an interesting theory, actually. Even being a cringeworthy cliche (sleeping with the babysitter? Ugh) probably doesn't merit a death sentence. I mean, you are a dick for banging some 19 year old right after your wife has a baby, but that is just generically gross, not a capital offense. I actually enjoyed this one. I did want Dean to coin some sort if Wereshifter/shapewolf word. 😆 I didn't understand why the creature had shifter eyes. Did I miss some bit of explanation there? Despite hating Amara, I am actually really enjoying the one off episodes this season. The brothers are working well together. I loved rock, paper, scissors. There was a lot to like for me.

This episode somehow managed to throw in too many things and be incredibly boring, IMO. Julia - Her story was probably the only one I really enjoyed until the bullshit at the end. I loved her interactions with the binder and her attempted negotiations with the deity. I enjoyed the cool, confident way she handled both. I even enjoyed they mature goodbye between her and Penny at the beginning (trusting him to handle it, showing some worry but not letting it takeover). Where it fell off the rails for me was the damn choice and the implication that it was all good now. Last year, Penny 23 had the choice to make her a godess or human. She couldn't stay in her current state. Either saves her. Penny23 makes the decision to make her human because he wants to be with her, taking away her magic. There was an option that she was considering before the injury that would have preserved her magic that he discardef for his own selfish reasons. Here, Julia is presented with only one choice. Let Penny die or let him live magicless. She doesn't have a third option. She triages the problem which is a hell of a lot less selfish than what Penny23 did (though, I would have been fine to see him go because I still hate him because of comparison to original flavor Penny). But the worst of it is Penny explaining how it's cool cause it's karma. No it's not. It wouldn't make what he did okay even if the parallel weren't so forced because you can't unring that bell. But also, she made the choice he would want. There wasn't the slightest conflict in his response. It was his death or the miracle for the world. These situations aren't in the same hemisphere. Alice - hooray for giving her something other than sad face moping about Quentin to do. And I am actually glad to see Zelda. Of course she still had to make it about her own sadness, but it was a solid story, so I won't push the issue. Someone PLEASE help me out. Who was the main Visigoth? Was that David Anders? I was actually super intrigued by them. Kady and the Dean - woof. This did not land right for me. It just felt so far from the main storyline and it feels like they have shorted Kady more developed scenes of fighting her addiction. Were we supposed to be happy for the Dean? Was his body transported or is he wandering in a stupor somewhere? I like that she is fighting for the hedges, but they aren't integrating her story well at all. Eliot and the dark king- so help me, if the dark king is his son, I will burn it down. Or some new version of Q. I actually quite liked him and his bedroom eyes at the king, though. Margo -with Eliot, she carries this show for me. I could watch her sarcastically quip at people holding axes all day. I loved the use of the fairy eye. I am intrigued by where the fairies fit in. Other observations I am really excited about the Chatwin revelation. I am excited to follow that thread. Where the hell are Josh and Fen? Wtf? Overall, it was a bit boring. A lot of setup. I am alarmed by the two parter next week, particularly with the ratings in the toilet. I mean, killing off Q has major consequences with the fans, but I hate the idea that this is it, primarily because they can't fix it.

I liked him but hated that deteriorated so rapidly. I actually enjoyed that he felt completely unbeatable.

I wish I was surprised. Sigh. All of this is 100% accurate. I hate that she felt compelled to tell anyone anything she wasn't ready to disclose, and I hate it even more for her that people are then questioning whether her coming out is real.

Per my very informed google search with one eye closed lest I get spoiled, there was a spinoff based on these characters (I stand corrected that it was actually a later episode, so sorry about the confusion), but it got discarded in favor of The Originals.

Sorry. Tippi Blevins/TippiTV. She recapped for TWoP, then did some on Tumblr and then I think did recaps for PTV? She definitely used to post on here and may still post. I may have made that up. Anyway, her recap of this episode caught it. https://tippitv.tumblr.com/post/139019373327/tippitv-supernatural-recap-11-12-dont-you I have almost burned through her recaps, which makes me sad. It looks like the ones on PTV haven't been archived by Primetimer (unless I am missing them).

I agree and will add that I think Dean is not a person who loves school and that is totally fine. In fact, didn't he get his GED, or did I make that up? I love school. I went back to school because I "am good at it" and enjoy it. My husband is the polar opposite. He hates it and will only do classes or training as a means to an end. As an example, he was good with paramedic school because it was directly related to what he wanted to do. He hated the undergrad work he did because he didn't see the value in English Lit or something. I don't think the show was trying to imply that he didn't see value and I really think the show was trying to make a parallel the other way. Not that Dean passed on his recklessness to Claire, but instead that she, like Dean, is practical about what she wants and going after it. So help me, if they hurt Jody . . . . I don't understand the Claire hatred either, but I suspect part of it is that she really does feel like a teenage girl and, having been one myself, teenage girls are difficult. The hormones. The constant struggle to be seen and respected because you think you are so old and you don't want to be treated like a kid, which wars with the fact that you don't have much life experience under your belt and are still developing. It's tough. Add to it that she has suffered from a lot of trauma and the character is complex. I was coming here to say this. My son is adopted and, though it was not through foster care we did a lot of research and training. Claire and Alex both read as fairly authentic kids who have suffered from trauma. I think it is even more accurate because Claire and Alex have very different types of trauma that make their trauma responses fairly believable. Claire was in the system. She was bounced from foster home to foster home. You can definitely see both in her acting choices and her dialogue that there is a healthy dose of: don't get too attached or feel too much because this is all temporary. Her difficulty fitting in with her family and at school make total sense against that backdrop. It is a self-defense mechanism. I thought the lovely moment where she realized that Alex actually did care for her was amazing. I also thought there was a great character moment when Dean was lecturing her on Jody. I would add that her hypervigilance was also really on point for a kid who has suffered trauma. It is a symptom of PTSD and read as being very believable. I loved that Jodi backed into a way to help her work through her fears by teaching her how to investigate rather than trying to change her. I do think she could probably use some therapy as well, but then again it would be hard to find someone who can help her with her more esoteric trauma. Alex was in an abusive home, but had relative stability within that home. In addition to being a believable response for both girls to try and prove her worth, her longing for a normal life and her attempts to separate herself from the trauma of her past were really good and authentic choices for her character as well. Honestly, I was surprised at how well thought out both characters were. I thought they gave both actresses a lot of really great material to work with and I liked the choices both made. Oh man, agree on the Castiel stuff. That poor girl has already suffered enough trauma for multiple lifetimes. She doesn't need Luctiel in her life. Castiel is hard enough on her. I agree. This is one of the great things about recurring characters. You can give them a lot more depth and they don't just feel so clunky. I loved the parallels in this episode and particularly loved that they weren't overbearing. There was a much softer touch here than we typically get from the show. Stealing the hell out of that when we hit teenagerhood in my house. Oh man. I am going to have so much reading to do once I catch up. I loved loved this. I can't believe we got two weeks in a row with robust, interesting female characters who survived the final credits. I understand that this was a backdoor pilot and I actually thought it worked really well. It wasn't clunky, and I really loved what they did with it. I wish it had gotten picked up. I am assuming it is dead dead? I don't think I can improve upon a lot of the commentary here. I loved the dinner scene. I loved Dean's protective Dad glare and both guys' approach with the girls. It was sweet without being cloying and it just really worked. Also, Sam's facial expressions in this episode were freaking hilarious. I had to replay his response to the asbestos. Tippi got a great screenshot of it, I see. As much as I have complained about the storyline episodes, I have found the one offs so far this season to be pretty damn enjoyable and this one was no exception.

I know I am an outlier, but I actual liked the Leviathans, other than the cheeseball special effects.

All of this. I am still not forgiving the show for snapping Rowena's neck like a chicken before Sunday dinner after humbling her, but we got two whole interesting female characters this week. I loved both of them. They were smart and competent and funny. Also, props to the show for introducing a Deaf character whose entire existence on the show isn't just: the Deaf character. She had an interesting backstory. She bonded with the other characters. Her deafness wasn't used as a plot point. She wasn't presented as weak. Yay, show. Also showing an older lady hitting on Dean without mocking her. That was fantastic and a huge improvement from prior interactions. Please accept my signature on your imaginary petition. It was disturbing. There is A LOT of discussion of this apology and I really don't want to reopen old wounds/feuds/bitterness, but I will say on the subject of my thoughts: 1. It should have happened way way sooner and felt bizarrely placed this late in the game even when binge watching, 2. I still liked it and was glad to see some closure there, 3. As someone who really doesn't have a brother affiliation and basically just likes it when they get along, it worked for me because it seemed to be sufficient for both characters to put this to bed and keep it there, and 4. While I personally like a straight "I'm sorry." I know mileage varies greatly. It took years to get that across to my husband, who constantly said things like "I didn't mean to hurt you." (Uh, if you did this would be a different conversation). Or "I'm sorry but . . . ." The truth is that a lot of people are bad at apologizing. Bad at doing it and bad at picking the words. So, I am not personally going to get too caught up on the wording here. I think it is clear that Sam is sincerely sorry and that Dean is sincerely hearing and accepting it. I will take it as a win for a character moment. I still think the entire plot point was appalling and stupid and OOC, but I won't retread that. The banshee was amazing. Definitely creepy old school horror. I loved her. It is so inconsistent. Drives me nuts. I only speak a small amount but my friend is a CODA and my limited understanding from her is that the language isn't a literal and exact translation. Signs are often combined or altered to get a meaning accross. A simple example is the ILY sign for "I love you." You can sign "I" then "love" then "you" but you can also use the combined sign comprised of the letter I, L and Y. Similarly, your "name" can be spelled but often is a combination of signs that define and describe you. So, short answer is that I would assume accuracy because of the presence of a Deaf actress, though I can't verify it, and it does seem plausible from what I do know. Hee. This made me giggle too. Then again, our two favorite hunters get knocked out when people sneak up on them all the time. 😆 I loved this episode so much. If I am gonna hate the big bad this season, at least we get a quality one off in this episode. I loved the characters and the monster. It was a fun watch. The BM scenes were touching. I particularly loved Dean asking Sam to share his feelings, but giving him space. I also liked Sam feeling some trauma here. So often, the one off episodes forget to acknowledge the week before. I wish Dean would talk to Sam, but where would we be without secrets and liiiies? Overall, I really loved it.

I am so fucking pissed about this. Surprised? Nope. But irritated that they just had to bring her down a peg and theb snap her neck so that she goes out with a whimper instead of fighting? Fuck that. Warning: long rant I know that I am a Rowena fan and a lot of people aren't. I just think she is one of the more interesting villains we have had. She isn't oversexualized (despite being gorgeous) or overly maternal. She has always been unapologetically manipulative, maneuvering and powerful. The Dimness (hee) is more of the same with her plunging necklines and Dean kissing. Meanwhile, Rowena is out here manipulating events to her advantage. She is brutal and evil and is more likely to kill you if she loves you before someone else can do it first. But we can't have that on this show, can we? So how does she go out? In a blaze of glory? Nope. First we gotta humble her. Then we have to give her a backstory that makes her look weak and sad and that puts her firmly into the roles we expect for women. Mother. Spurned lover. Let's take away her orgies and career minded thirst for power. She is just a bitter scorned woman. Because how could we ever write a story about a mother who didn't want to be a mother? Who didn't care about her kid? Only men can be those characters. I mean let's take 30 seconds to try and imagine a man trying to sell that bullshit backstory. Now that we have given her some context for Crowley to feel something about her death, we can kill her off. Nevermind that literally everyone knows we are going to kill off the sole character in the Lucifer story with a vagina because we always do. I mean, they could have shocked us by killing Crowley, but where is the fun in that? So, now we have to believe that Rowena, who has been a step ahead at all times. Who is a master manipulator? Rowena who trusts nobody. That Rowena is too damn stupid to approach LUCIFER with caution because she has been reduced to a GROUPIE (their word). Fuck you, show. I loved Billie but don't want her to come back. They will just snap her damn neck to make one of the men sad. The voice messages were hilarious. Highlight of the episode for me. Or to convince Sam that Castiel needs to use his body for some reason. There is 0 chance that Rowena, as previously written, doesn't lie or hedge with that question. I hate hate hate the backstory they gave her. If it wasn't obvious above. 😆😡 Oh, this is intriguing and could save the episode for me. I can almost see this, but it isn't what she said or even fully implied. At least then it would be about having power so you weren't beholden to some man to get your power. But then she turns around and trusts . . . Some guy who is powerful to set her up in a life of luxury. It was clear she was manipulating for her own power with Crowley. Planting seeds, using his Court against him. To then go to Lucifer with blind trust? Still doesn't work for me. Yep. Same here. I have come to the conclusion that I will just have to power through this season's arc and enjoy the standalone episodes. I hate the Dimness. She is boring and I am tired of everyone telling me how super powerful she is while she eats one person at a time. Meanwhile we retread old ground with Lucifer. The entire story, honestly, feels repetitive. I mean, hell, parts of this episode felt like a clip show. And not even the GOOD clips.

Same and same. I love Rowena and think she is genuinely different than most of the prior villains of the show. I am bored by the prospect of facing another Sam tries to save the world and ends up in the cage with Lucifer plotline. Sigh. I sorta assumed it was just a fakeout but now I am amusing myself that it was her trying to cover so she didn't look awkward. Hee. Oh, I love "the Dimness." She is just written to be so whiny and she hasn't really shown enough power to be truly scary. I mean, Castiel-as-God was way scarier and created a lot more urgency. I don't wanna discount her murder spree, but she was basically killing people one at a time and not in particularly terrifying ways. And then just to get attention. Yawn. This is a good point about Sam's faith. O was seeing desperation (what else do we have?) but I agree that is a compelling point. So so so much talking. Talk talk talk. The monologuing made this episode hard to watch. Lord knows JA and JP acted their hearts out, but it couldn't save an episode where we had to basically cut between rambling monologues. I did love this detail. The music was distractingly bad to me. Totally agree. She feels less like a vengeful deity and more like a petulant child. I honestly don't get it. And part of the problem for me is also the forced urgency. Why try to kill her with no plan a few episodes ago and now turn to the far more menacing Lucifer with a mere sketch of a plan? This all feels like re-treading old ground. There were some good moments (JP's single man tear being standout), but the majority of this episode left me bored and irritated. And where the fuck is Castiel, y'all? 🙄

I loved that the Zannas were exactly as advertised. Sweet and a bit naive and full of good intentions. You have to assume that there are good supernatural entities, but we never see them because hunters would only find them when something bad occurred. They could have been creepy, but I actually found each of them sweet and silly. I loved how they supported their kkis. It seems to me that entities are only discovered because they are doing something bad. These guys only show themselves to kids (who get ignored) and seem to be a force of good. So, I can buy this. It reminded me of how grumpy he was about fairies. I admit that I sort of love grumpy Dean. And he may have told himself she didn't want to see him. I see mileage varies greatly on this one. Perhaps it is my lingering love for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, or perhaps I just didn't have preexisting notions on this one, but I really loved it. I really enjoyed the Zanna conceptually. I have pretty much accepted that the show us somewhat inconsistent on flashbacks, so I just roll with it. I actually loved young Dean advocating for Sam abd Sam struggling with feeling left out. I am a middle child, and I really felt those scenes as someone who always wanted to do what my older brother was doing (I actually usually feel more like Dean because of how protective I was over my younger brother, but I was feeling it from Sam's perspective in this episode). Oh, and I had an imaginary friend named Emma. My best friend's imaginary friend, Chica, was her BFF.

I am actually back to work, which is why I have slowed down somewhat. Still getting some 3am feeding showtime, though. 😆😴 I wish I thought I could catch all the way up to watch a few with y'all.

The deeper I get into the season, the more I see pod Dean. His reactions were off. I hate that I am worried/disappointed to see Donna for fear they will kill her off. Agree that this had a great early show feel. I loved the straight horror/creep factor. Whoever made those costumes deserves a raise. I think I may have mentioned this before, but I realized recently that my son has never seen a non-creepy version of a clown and he had characterized them with vampires and zombies in his mind. 😆 Overall, this one was great. Super creepy costuming, sunny Donna and a good balance of gore and humor. I did roll my eyes at "Chester." I guess Moe Lester was too on the nose? Still, I liked the story and the legit creepiness of the possessed people.

I would have hated the burst into lights solution. I like that they had agency and got to say goodbye Yes, we didn't see anyone go through who wasn't ready, and I think it was heavily implied that they wouldn't have done so I wonder if my perspective on death doesn't contribute to me being more comfortable with the door. I used to do estate planning work and many of my clients were facing a terminal diagnosis or a debilitating medical condition. Perhaps I am just more comfortable with death and end of life decisions.

Ahh. That is a reasonable conclusion. I like it slightly better now.

I agree so strongly with this. It was so disturbing and gross that he didn't seem uncomfortable and to then play that song? I need this to not happen. Yes to all of this as well. There was (rightly in my opinion) plenty of criticism of Twilight. I also know I am an outlier but I didn't ship The Doctor and Rose because I thought the centuries age difference was squicky. River is the only one I have ever gotten behind and that is mainly because she is on much more even ground. Totally agree. Splitting up was not a logical choice. Honestly, the whole plan was pretty half assed. I did not like this episode much. Too many monologues and a side of grossness. I swear this show is so weird when it comes to sex. Banging a dog is cool. So is objectifying teens. Using someone's body to have sex? It's cool. I just can't.
