Rewatching this episode today I had a couple things hit me.
I loved the Smith & Wesson thing. That was pretty funny. Part of that attention the Show pays to minor details and nuances.

And remember how Office 1444 was considered to be the center of the company's operations, with Sandover himself overseeing all details of any construction project the company undertook?
If you'll remember back in the day many buildings built back then had no 13th floor because of superstitious reasons.

And something else hit me I missed before. The comment Zac/Adler made about >>>I see big things in your future. Maybe even senior VP, Eastern Great Lakes Division. <<<

Was that foreshadowing of the confrontation Dean and Sam had with Lucifer in Detroit?

There was something else early in the episode but I lost that train of thought.
:(

Good thoughts, Helen.
I love this episode, loved the easy way Sam and Dean worked together because they didn't know one another and didn't have all that baggage in the way. I'm looking forward to the jouney to some peace between them. But the episode is one of my favorites! :D

Man, good thoughts! :hi5

The Detroit thing, I wish they did slip that in because of where they were planning on taking the story. That's what I love about rewatching, there would be no way for us to see significance in that when the episode first aired, and yet... maybe!

One of my fav episodes. And I loved Zach for telling Dean he would succeed, even if he turned out to be a lying dick. He got Dean back in the game. :cloud9

Oh man "It's A Terrible Life" os one of my favorite episodes. Love everything from the intro with The Kinks' "A Well Respected Man" to the clever little details like their last names: Smith and Wesson etc.

It's these kind of "genre bending", in lack of a better word, episodes I love so much. Espicially because it gives the writers a chance to try something new and different with the show and sometimes it works out pretty good, and other times it doesn't work out just as good, but when it does, like in this case, it's awesome! :)
