WARNING!!!!!! If you haven't seen tonight's episode of "Supernatural," read no further! There will be plot discussion and spoilers and other things you won't want to read unless you have seen the episode. Consider yourself warned! If you're still here, let's do this!
First off, applause to Jensen Ackles for another job extremely well done directorially. I think one of the highest compliments I can think of to pay him is that both of his episodes have fit in perfectly with the rest of the show, and this show gets some great directors, so very well done, sir. Very well done, indeed. Now onto the episode.
The Dean Situation
Honestly, I'm not really sure what to say right now because the ending... I'm conflicted. On the one hand, I get that Dean is having massive trust issues right now. Enormous trust issues, and not just with Sam. He didn't trust Bobby, either, when Bobby told him to let Sam have a couple days and then go after him. Nope, Dean cut his cast off and went looking for him right then and there. I think what happened with Cass is really messing with his head, but he just hasn't let himself deal with it yet and instead is being, and I hate to say this, kind of a dick, actually. Sam's being truthful and telling him about what's happening with the hallucinations, and, like Bobby said, he's doing better with the checking out and all that. So Dean wants total honesty from Sam and then goes behind his back, lies to him, and kills Amy anyway. And I get the killing Amy thing because, though she was pretty awesome and did her best not to kill people, she still did. And you know what? If her son got sick again, she would have killed again to heal him. I have no idea why no one made that argument in the show because it kept jumping out at me as a rather legitimate one. Okay, so Dean thinks she's a monster and needed to be put down, but wow, it was really cold the way he did it, and then in walks her son. Yikes. What a messed-up situation. I just really don't know what to make of this whole thing yet. I'm sure you'll have some suggestions in the comments for me.
The Sam Situation
I have to hand it to Sam, pun intended, but he is doing a much better job, seemingly, with keeping things straight as far as what's real and what isn't. I guess the hand-pain trick really is working for him. So that was good to see, Sam making progress. And I think he also took a big step as far as his f-word issue was concerned. Freak always bothered him so much in the past, but I think it was kind of healthy for him to just sort of accept that his life has kind of made him less than normal, and you know what? That's okay. It's time to move on and just let it be. High marks for that one. I was kind of proud of Sam there for that.
The Leviathan Situation
These guys are pretty organized. They know all the Winchester aliases, huh? I wonder how many people actually have that sort of information swimming around in their brains? I bet Cass does, or at least his vessel! I'm going to add that info to the list of things to support my theory that Misha Collins is coming back as the Leviathan boss. But really, these guys are a huge threat because they're organized and they're legion and they're really not going to stop until they get the Winchesters. But I also like that they weren't front and center too much, just a sort of "here's what's happening in the Leviathan organization right now" glimpse and off to other things. And though Bobby was missing and brushed off his supposed death, I don't think he's a Leviathan. If he was, why spend 3 weeks with the Winchesters when the rest of the Leviathan crew are looking for them? That doesn't make sense to me.
My One Big Problem With This Episode
I don't think it was a bad episode because it wasn't, and I don't want to sound like I'm hating on it, but I really don't think it was well-served by having a 3-week time jump. I mean, they set up some really important and huge things in the first two episodes, and that three missing weeks is when most of the fallout happened. I mean, Bobby's house burned down, they lost Castiel, Sam and Dean were seriously injured in a fight with Leviathan, who made it clear the Winchesters are targets, Bobby was missing presumed dead, and it all got glossed over. I'm not saying we needed a whole episode to deal with those issues, but maybe they could have been worked out or at least shown during a monster-of-the-week episode, too. Instead, it was mentions of other hunters having problems and Bobby has to go collect his library stash. It just felt kind of off to me.
Odds and Ends
Rufus' cabin! RIP, Rufus. It would have been way better if you'd been there, too.
Bobby made copies of his library! Of course he did. Some of you posted comments about this very thing in last week's speculation article, so well done! High fives all around.
The physical comedy of Dean falling out of bed and Sam getting punched were hilarious. I laughed. A lot.
The lerk at the convenience store was wearing a "Batman: Under the Red Hood" t-shirt when Dean interviewed him. Jensen, of course, did voice acting for that movie. And the horror movie trailer that was playing on the TV while Dean was asleep was called "My Bloodiest Valentine 3D." Jense, of course, starred in "My Bloody Valentine." Nice!
Kitsune was one of the monsters I wrote about in a list of monsters that I wanted to see in season 6, so yay! Cross that off the list.
Cake IS NOT pie!
Poor young Sam and his non-existent life. But at least Dean gave him some good advice about talking to girls. I was expecting some sort of bad pick-up line or something.
All right, I think that's all I've got for now. How did you all like the episode? Think Dean is heading for a massive breakdown? Are you excited about Bobby getting the library back together?

Comments
In fact, given how shocked I was Dean killed her after telling Sam he'd trust him, etc., I was also kind of shocked when he let her son go. But Dean also took care of the shapeshifter baby in that episode. Dean seems to have rules for what he'll do that he thinks are logical - but I think they're based on feelings.
So did Sam go off by himself because he figured the killer was Amy and he thought he might not be going to kill her? And that was why he didn't tell Dean about her?
Bobby seems like Bobby to me. I admit to following Jim Beaver on FB; I figure if he's working, Bobby's okay!
Altogether I liked the episode, though not as much I did the first two, which I thought were wonderful. It was great to see a story about Sam's growing up, a story just about him and a relationship he had as a kid, and the Leviathans are good baddies. I think it's sort of an in-between episode, moving the story from point A to point B, even though it contains a story itself. As you say, it got glossed over somewhat.
This episode was not as good as the previous two, but was still pretty great. There were some odd story/plot choices made (and I kind of agree the time jump was odd) but overall it served a good purpose. I think we saw a lot of hints of things to come, though what those might be I don't know.
I wonder about the emphasis on the pain medication (shown at least twice, pretty predominantly)
I also agree about Amy and my first thought too was, "what if your son gets sick again?". I have to believe Sam thought of that argument, but desperately wanted to believe that she would keep to her word. Oh Dean; and that poor little boy...monster or not. Dean better watch his back. And I guess if nothing else, there's a storyline for a future season, depending on how many more they go!
As for Supernatural, I think it will end at the 10 year mark. By then, both Jared and Jensen would have been doing the show for such a long time. I think both of them will be wanting to start families and since both of them have stated that they wanted to wait to do that until after the show has ended.
I was sad about one thing. It seems Dean may be going back down that road of keeping secrets from Sam. That never has had a happy resolution. One would think that he would have learned this by now. Dean is going to need to come clean with Sam about killing Amy and why he did it. I think we all know and understand why, but Sam needs to hear it from his big brother. Well, that's one thing that Dean is keeping from Sam and the PTB have been hinting that Dean's got an even bigger secret that he's been hiding. I wonder what that is? It can't be good. It never is on Supernatural.
I liked how the Leviathans were there, but not necessarily front and center. They're in the background; keeping tabs and tracking the Winchesters. That can't be good for either of our guys and Bobby. One note: Everything is better with cheese (or ketchup)!
All the cast and crew did a wonderful job. Colin Ford makes such a great younger version of Sam. He's really picked up many of the mannerisms of Jared. I look forward to hopefully seeing him again.
Well, I'm looking forward to next week and seeing Jo again and Sam being a defense attorney. It should be good. After all, that was what Sam wanted to be at one time.
Thi s eppi was pretty awesome. I liked the Dean's hospital happy face and the punch... LOL it was just great.
I went totally white when he killed Amy, and yes, I do think he's goin throug some really serious trust issues... I did believe him when he said he trusted sam but then... well, you know what's next.
Reammly excited to see what's next for him and how he's dealing with it. Can't wait for next episode.
again, Jensen I loved the long shots and the entire episode. Dude, you are such an amazing directos. Congrats!
About Dean. I don't know if the Amy thing is good. Obviously?Sammy wanted her to live. But Dean just killed her simply. The question is?your beloved one kills your savior?sorry my English is not so good??I don't know if Sammy should be angry or whatever. This is just a mess.But I gotta say?it's the classic supernatural twist?characters are suppose to be miserable and so are the audiences. Oh?no?audiences are more miserable.
Anyway?I still think 703 is a nice episode.
That being said, the material we got to mull over was pretty fantastic. This felt very much like a season 1 episode to me with the return of focus on Sam dealing with the F-word and Dean's black and white worldview, only now Sam's come to accept it and Dean is regressing to some degree back into that view that had started changing with Sam's visions and Lenore.
My favorite scene was Sam telling Dean that he knows he's a freak but he's managing. I hate to use the phrase considering his hellucinations, but he seems at peace with himself and his choices. And that's a place we really haven't seen Sam (there was that brief moment before he fell into the Pit in "Swan Song" but it's not something we've seen for any extended period).
And that Sam really seems to have come to terms with himself and his life makes Dean's slide harder to watch since Sam's been the one fighting against his life since the pilot. I do think he's on the brink of a breakdown. He has no sense of self and with everything changing around him, he's lashing out and falling into old habits (see monster, kill monster). I hate that he lied to Sam about trusting him, but I think that'll come out pretty early on next week. Looking forward to seeing how that plays out.
Still Colin was wonderful .
My problem with this ep is that Dean, instead of moving forward and learning, he reacts again, like the past years had never happened. Sam told him at one time that not all monsters are bad. Even Vampires can deserve to live. And Dean agreed on that after he thought it through. So why not trust Sams judgment this time. Yes, Amy killed three times but in how many years? And look at the people she killed. Even the police was glad they are gone. She wasn't all that bad. But her kid is missing her guidence now. There is a possibility that he might turn into a really bad Kitsune just like Amy's mom.
I guess that Sam will find out in the next ep what Dean did and that it will bring up some issues between the brothers.
I am wondering, once Bobby collected all the copies of his books. Where is he going to stash them. They don't have a safe heaven anymore. They are all on the run. This is completly unlogically to me. It would make more sense to me, if he would leave the copies where ever they are for now and in case they need information out of one of those copies, they just have to travel to the hiding place of the book needed.Think it would make a funny ep if Bobby had to travel from one hiding place to another and Dean being on the phone with him constantly asking impatiently why he doesn't have the info yet.
Dean is a Hunter- it is part of his DNA through and through. Dean tried to go the family route, wife, kid, steady job, but the Hunter in him called out. Same here. Dean gave Sammy the benefit of the doubt as far as Sam's motivations to let the girl go, but Dean has to stay true to who he is. I don't see this as lack of character development, but more like internal consistency.
As for the rest, the boys have to start picking new fake names. Lemmy? Lars? It's a great site gag, but at some point I expect to see a gas store clerk or someone give them a hard time for having the same name as a rock star. And it makes them easy fodder for demon tracking programs apparently. Maybe something more obscure... like dead rock stars from back in the day
Edit- oh yeah... yay that Bobby is still alive. I am thinking that the copies of rare books was too easy tho'. But that is something Bobby would do. The demon free room should still be intact. How about a rebuild episode? This on the road thing without the home base smacks of reasons for designing new sets and nothing else.
No cass, no great story about any interesting monster, no any meaningful things happen on sam and dean.
Sam follows a girl who killed her mom to protect him,and dean kill her... what's means about it?jealous?or he thinks sam is too weak to kill her,so he help him to show his strong will?
Why dean didn't kill the little guy?just because he didn't eat any person yet?so dean can show his mercy to us?
Sara said SPN S07 will great just like S01,there will be a lots of stories just about dean and sam,but I don't think so, because no one believe the Winchester is the same person, they had a lots of thing between them, like hell, like cass, like they already lost their father forever, all of those great plots buildup all those great stories about doubts freedom will and choices, I don't think it will be buildup between dean and sam.Especially we all been through the hell,the angle,the apocalypse things with them,who really care about the "hallucination " things? It's too small to ignore.
I've really liked the first 3 episodes this season, and even though I would like more classic rock, I love the Winchesters and their friends (dead or alive) and am in this until the very end. Looking very much forward to next Friday.
Loved Jensen's directing. He really gets it as he should after being Dean for going on 7 years. Bravo indeed!
Colin Ford is awesome as young Sam. You can really see Sammy in his face.
Sammy shouldn't have run out AGAIN on his wounded brother and thoroughly deserved that punch. LOL. Though his head doesn't need any more shaking up.
And welcome back badass Dean. I've really missed you.
WORST EPISODE EVER. 3 week jump - lame. Instant escape from hospital courtesy of Bobby ( guess he's taking over for Cassette at that) with no exciting scenes with Leviathans? Boring! Cheesy orange dissolves to flashbacks? Clumsy.
But worst of all is what they did character - wise. Sam leaves Dean alone, helpless in the cabin, in a cast, with no car no less, knows Dean is freaking out about him, and doesn't answer the phone. Nice.
Dean killing Kaylee( er, Amy) in cold blood was heartless and unnecessary. Did he forget all the innocent people possessed that he and Sam have killed over the years? Black and white my ass. Then just let the kid go? Makes zero sense.
Thought they were supposed yo be getting the brothers back on track. NOT. Same old trust and betrayal issues. Just a horrible horrible episode. Impossible to even like either brother in this episode.
Only bright note? The cheese! Love the Leviathans.
But I wanted to give my two-cents, for what it's worth. I was kinda shocked at the end when Dean killed Amy in so cold a fashion. I do understand why he did it, but still, I think that might come back and bite him in the a** (as perfect as it might be). Him telling her son to look him up later reminded me of Uma Thurman's character in "Kill Bill" when she kills the mother in front of the young girl and tells her to see her later in life in she wants revenge.
I too wished that TPTB hadn't skirted over the issue of Bobby's house burning down, the broken leg, the head injury, it's like, slow down a little. Maybe it'll be addressed later? Although I think that ship has sailed.
Random thoughts. Now, cake instead of pie? Tsk, tsk, Sammy, I agree with Dean on that one, not good. How awesome was it seeing so much of Colin Ford again, love that kid, he does young Sam so well. Dean in a cast watching tele novelas, I laughed, it was perfect. And him being all helpless and all, yummy! The commercial for "My Bloody Valentine 3D", ha! The direction was very good, Jensen has shown us that he can play with the big boys, let's hope he directs another one next year.
Jensen as a director? AWESOME.
ITA about how skipped over it felt to see Bobby alive. LOL at Dean's 'look a monster broke my leg' - more morphine for Dean, please, he's so cute!
Dean's decision to kill Amy- understandable, but NOT after the conversation with Sam about trust and freaks. Even if TPTB don't want to address it, I still remember a VM from Dean that told Sam he was a monster, vampire, and vowing to kill him. Led to the freakin' Apocalypse. If Dean can see where Sam identified with Amy, then gut her without blinking, where will that leave Sam on the 'how does Dean really feel about me'?
I did LOL when Dean punched Sam, but OTOH, really bothered me. First they gave the big guy having hallucinations beer and guns last week. Brilliant plan #1.
I kind of like the feel of the way the show is heading this season. I love Cass and Bobby, but I fell in love with a show about Sam and Dean Winchester. I love Winchester angst, and the build up this week will hopefully lead to it in a major way. Sam has absolute faith in Dean. (Point of No Return, anyone?) Okay, when he can figure out which one is the real Dean, LOL. Dean has proven once again that he has absolute lack of faith in Sam. (not blaming Dean given Sam's past behavior) Sam still feels like he's 'less' then Dean. His speech last night broke my heart for him. More of a 'this is what I am and I've learned to just stop fighting it' then any real progress to come to terms with himself. Dean feeling the same way is going to really throw Sam.
ITA about Dean heading for a breakdown. Hoping, actually. Might be what it takes for Dean to find some faith in anything, preferably his brother. Sam has always had faith in something. It's always been pretty much thrown back in his face, but he just found something else. Right now, Sam's faith is in Dean. Again. Makes me happy. But Dean has never had any faith in anything. Let Sam put Dean's 'marbles back in their lead friggin' box'. Maybe Dean can find something he's been missing. It would be nice to see Dean actually lean on Sam and let Sam help him. Would make me AND Sam feel better.
I don't think that has ever been addressed and I guess Sam still thinks it was Dean. Wish he could have heard the real VM.
Gonna be some messy fallout over this.
No, the VM was never addressed. Sam still thinks it was Dean.
If Sam wants to be trusted maybe he should, oh i dont know, not sneak away when Dean is sleeping, steal his car, strand him in a cast, and not answer his calls. That might be a good place to start.
And Dean? We all knew you were going to kill that woman first chance you got so why not man up about it? And why leave the kid alive? Ugh.
I'm waiting to see what's next and not doing some really annoying comments about Dean.
I was dissapointed when Sam didn't kill her, but really glad Dean went back and cleaned up the mess.
Also, yeah he didn't kill the son, but the kid hadn't killed anyone before. And he said the only one he would kill would be Dean. Understandable too, I guess~
Dean was giving the kid a chance, and he said if he did start killing, Dean would come back for him. Seems like a good reason to not kill if you ask me..
And Dean's always had a soft spot for kids, I think. One more reason he's so lovable~
Bobby seemed a bit off when he was trying to convince Dean not to go off and look for Sam, but I loved the begining when he patted Dean on the neck all 'father-like'! Aww!
(Plus, Dean in the hospital was so adorable, oh my gosh..)
Also, Dean watching soaps? He's such an old lady... x)
Also no one has mentioned but Amy gave up her job as a mortician. Dean commented on that so now she doesn't have access to dead brains so I believe she was going to kill sooner rather than later.
Dean did ask the kid if he had someone to go to which I felt meant he was concerned about him being on his own. And he seemed to understand the kid's desire for revenge.
Dean seemed very Dean to me in this. I also thought the way Dean treated Amy's body by lying her gently on the bed was because he knew how much she meant to Sam.
I also think Sam sensed Dean gave in too easy in agreeing with him and knew what Dean was going to do and chose not to fight him on it because he knew it wouldn't stop Dean or change his mind.
I am not surprised he killed Amy, and knowing his insticts, it was probably the right thing to do, but still. It was cold, it was uncomfortable to see him that way because perhaps it has been some time since he has been so cold. It reminded me of the vampire episode when Dean used the industrial saw to cut the vamps head off and Sam watched him. That Dean was unhinged with grief, as I think he is now.
The boys have changed; life has changed them in some intrinsic ways, but now they've been hit with enormous events: betrayal, downfall and death of Cass; a cadre of mega-monsters who are intelligent, organized, hard to distinguish from humans and hard (at best) to kill; the destruction of Bobby's home, their fortress up till now; and most of all, Sam's shocking mental condition. In the face of these trauma-inducing events, Sam and Dean both revert to type.
And that's what gets them into trouble in this episode. Sam shouldn't have gone without telling Dean what he was up to -- that made Dean fear for Sam and not trust his judgment. Had they gone together, Sam might just possibly have been able to convince Dean to let Kaylee (damn, can't remember her name here) go, as he did once before. And Dean shouldn't have been so impulsive on all fronts. That's never ended well.
With this "reboot," I think the intention is for the show to move on with Sam back to being kind, vulnerable, damaged, but able to focus on a case, and Dean single-minded almost to the point of mercilessness, dangerous, terrified for Sam but not about to show it, and both of them, with Bobby's help, on course to save themselves and the world from a great big (but not deified) Bad. I think we could have used an episode 7.2 and a half instead of rushing ahead to 7.3, but I'm looking forward to next week.
But Jensen's directing - Ace again :) Well done Jensen.
Okay first off, Dean really pissed me off in this episode. He is always grilling Sam about lying to him, then he goes and does it! And your right, he was a dick in this. If it was his son dying he would have done the same thing. He killed Amy leaving her son to fend for himself..
Sam, I am proud of, he's doing well I think!
The Leviathan's so nothing can kill them? I don't believe that, because what I have read about them is there is two thing that can kill Leviathan's 1: The arch-angel Michael and 2: The Arch-Angel Gabriel - Well what story lines could come of that.
So Leviathan's are keeping tabs on the Boys - Not good!
Yeah! Bobby is awesome, making copys! "Hello Bobby Singer, paranoid bastard"
Hey did anyone notice the 'Mistress Magda' thing? When the leviathan was checking card records? Like when Chuck answered the phone in season 5 finale?
Gabriel and Michael or God himself..
I would love to see Gabriel back, but also I would love Chuck to come back as god!
BTW I reallly liked the episode, it was nice to clam down a little bit!!!
I really didn't like that they skipped over those three weeks. I feel like there was a lot of stuff going on in those three weeks that we should have been privy too and, as some others have said, it was just glossed over.
Also..I'll probably get flack for this because I know it was supposed to be a comedic moment, but it really upset me when Dean punched Sam. First of all, Sam had just recovered from a serious head trauma, but mostly it upsets me that every time Dean gets upset with Sam, the first thing he does is punch him. It just really bothers me.
As for Dean killing Amy (love the Dr Who shout out, BTW), I understand why he did it, but I don't like how he went about it. The boys should know by now that lying and sneaking around has only brought them grief.
Oh.. and I thought the casting of young Amy was spot on. I thought she really looked like a young Jewel Staite. And of course, Colin was great as usual.
Looking forward to next week!
I've always felt that way. The only time Sam ever took a swing at Dean (even when Dean hit him) was under the influence of the siren or demon blood. But I think it originated with John. Remember 'Dead Man's Blood'? Sam muttered "this is why I left' and the next second he's plastered against the Impala by John. But Sam seems to know it and expect it. Doesn't shut him up, that's for sure. And I think being the youngest he didn't stand a chance physically, so he definitely learned to use words to strike.
For me, the most revealing line on this topic is "You can hit me all you want, it won't change anything." In 'Bloodlust'.
But yeah, my first thought was 'well, when Sam loses a few more marbles, we'll know why'. Head trauma that induced a seizure, flashbacks of torture (which includes beatings) and Dean punches him.
But it seems bashing Dean is the priority here, so... I'll leave y'all to it.
BTW I'm not too worried about Dean smoking Sam upside the head- the boys have both been to Hell, been slammed, crushed, shot at... etc, I think a little brotherly er... affection is not the end of the world.
With this "reboot," I think the intention is for the show to move on with Sam back to being kind, vulnerable, damaged, but able to focus on a case, and Dean single-minded almost to the point of mercilessness, dangerous, terrified for Sam but not about to show it, and both of them, with Bobby's help, on course to save themselves and the world from a great big (but not deified) Bad.
Remember "Bloodlust"? Dean gave Sam shit about making the lines 'grey' for him. Everything was black or white before Lenore. For some things, Dean still sees black or white. You're correct that Dean gave Cas no support, but if you go back to S4, 'Metamorphosis' was so sad. Sam poured his heart out and Dean was so far gone that big brother did nothing more then punch Sam a few times and blow everything off that Sam had to say. And, if you remember, in 'When the Levee Breaks' and 'Lucifer Rising', Dean was ready to write Sam off - Bobby was the one that reminded Dean they were family. but it wasn't until Zachariah admitted the whole plan that Dean really decided to go find Sam and 'fix things'. And S5. "double secret probation" which amounted to 'kick the Sammy-puppy while he was down' IMHO. Bobby (again) defended Sam to Dean in 'Point of No Return'. Dean has always seen things evil or good. Sam has really put Dean through the ringer with this, and now Cas.
I don't think it's about Dean's 'dark side' this time. I think Dean's at the end of his rope. I think Dean feels that if he'd somehow drawn a harder line with Sam and now Cas none of this would have happened. That he should have stopped them, now any deaths that come from it are on him. Guilt- previews for next week seem to prove that. I'm hoping that the 'marbles in the lead box' are escaping and we'll finally see Dean forced to deal with emotional fallout. I really hope the use of 'other foot' 'freak' etc with Sam and Amy will bring everything that Dean's ever thought about Sam and everything Sam's ever believed Dean felt for him out. So they can have great angst and fix it.
I really liked the episode...it was one of those episodes which have this old feeling of Sam and Dean..the best for me was Sam trying to explain his brother about his life again..i love that when brothers talk out their feelings like this.
Though i hated what Dean did after pretending to understand his brother but expected from him......i am sure this gonna build some gap btw the two most lovable brothers we have but hey we love all the bickering distrust and then bulding up trust and helping out among them aint we...So even Dean's lying part was okay for me...But the thing that was hurting was how he killed a child's mother without feeling remorseful for child..i mean Dean is not like that...if anything he feels compassion for kids..he ought to feel/do something for kid..alll he did was leaving the kid to mourn his loss alone..this was not good characterization of the Dean whom we all love.
As usual these L's are creepy best and looking forward for the story to unfold more (still hoping Cass will come back inside Big daddy L boss)
Bobby is old wine..always like the man standing tall for these boys...hell he had all his library copied somewhere???what abt panic room and all tools he hav??guess we will see Bobby rebuilding his house coz i love that place apart from Impala...
Colid Frod -lil sammy is one wonderful kid..i really like him play young Samm and he is perfect
Now coming back to some lacking issues(though i am loving each second of this series...)..Season 7 seems to be creating nearly over the edge episodes and Episode 1 and 2 are one of the most adrelin rushing fast paced ones with the third one giving some releif from all that (which i loved no doubt coz of loads of old Sam and Dean dynamics..wow punching kid brother and bossing around..Dean is masterclass in that and lil Sammy i love his puppy eyes everytime on screen and respect/love he has for his brother)..but at starting of next episode they are not able to maintain the same level of pace or action..i mean like at the end of Episode1- i expected some action packed starting for Cass+Leviathan in episode2..whereas that part was wrapped up pretty fast and we moved on to other side without proper closure (for the time being assuming we will see that side of story again).
in episode 2- it ended in some catch22 situation but Girl next Door wasnt able to keep that starting momentum and all that Brothers in hospital Bobby rescuing them then 3 weeks jump kinda watered down my expectation...i was expecting to see more on that stuff....maybe 5 mins more on that..even Dean finding out Bobby alive was underplayed..i dont know if thats only my feeling..
Having said that leaving that strating glitch in each episode for me (epi 2 and 3) i find SPN going very storng storywise and ofcource dynamics of brothers is gettig better and better...wud love to see secnes like the one in motel whr Sam n Dean arguing/talking
Ahhh cant wait for next!!
On the other hand, how great is Colin Ford ?, the flashback scenes were wonderful , the ending with the Leviathon was not very easy to watch and I now know why I don't eat cheese of any discription, full marks to Jensen for the directing again hope he does another one soon.
Here's looking forward to next week, lol Sharon.
Sam deserved it... he ran away as a friggin teenager and just like Dean said "I had a lot of horror stories coming out of my mind " (not exactly stated but oh well)
