In light of Born-Again Identity there has been much discussion surrounding Sam’s hallucinations and Castiel’s solution.

Yes, this review has been a bitch to write. After all, so much was packed into this mere 42 minutes. When “The Born-Again Identity” finished at 9:58 on Friday evening, I do admit to being shell shocked. Oh sure, I loved the episode, but my mind since then has been trying to process so many…

Review: 7.17 “The Born-Again Identity” – by sweetondean “We didn’t part friends Dean.” “So what?” I’m going to start off shallow and just get this out of the way. I found it very difficult to concentrate during Sam’s hospital scenes. There. I said it. Jared was really working that whole floppy hair, scruffy,…
I’ve been reading a lot of mixed reaction to “The Born-Again Identity” and thought, what better way to gage proper reaction than with a poll! Pardon the scientific experiment here, but I have two polls this time. One that tries to categorize reactions (our usual fare), and the other is just a basic ranking…
Honestly, I’m not quite sure where to begin with this one. I just finished the episode and many emotions and thoughts are running around at full speed. This episode was brilliantly conceived and beautifully executed. Any faults that there have been with season seven have nearly been corrected by this one 42-minute installment. Let’s see…
