President Singer uses Bobby Singer’s legendary supernatural lines

Starlight’s shapeshifter fails to kill Singer, but she comes close – and a good portion of the episode is devoted to her attempt. Just before the deadly Supe attacks the President and the Boys, Singer uses two of Bobby Singer’s iconic phrases from Supernatural: “idiot” And “balls.“

“Idiot” Bobby Singer speaks “idiot” In Supernatural, And Beaver’s character intentionally expresses the insult in the same way in The young Season 4Angry that the Boys failed to kill Neuman, he calls MM a “Idiot” after you Retreat to a bunker. This line is by no means accidental, and the fact that he mutters:Balls” immediately afterwards makes it even better. These are both sentences that Bobby Singer often says in Supernatural, and it’s fun to see how Beaver uses them in The young as well as.

President Singer’s character name is also a supernatural Easter egg
