quirky_thoughtsI think two words sum up this ep and it’s…Bloody Hell!
We got the usual opening scene with the expectation of something nasty but this time it was more sad than horrible. The nasty was to come later!
It was good to see the continuation of Dean worrying about Sam with his phone call to Bobby.
But I have to wonder if Bobby noticed anything about Sam earlier. He didn’t seem to.
Good to see Cas...and I was glad he decided to help find out about Sam even though he seems have his hands full.
At the sister’s house I had to laugh out loud at Sam’s “It’s a new more caring administration.”
Loved Dean’ s questioning look at Sam’s intense interrogation of the sister which was followed by Sam’s subtle little look at Dean to say “What!”
And then …"See? Told you so"…without saying a word.
Next - the dentist scene *shudder* Now this was nasty! I closed my eyes at this scene and didn’t see it…but then when I was capping I caught it …bugger! I was at the dentist yesterday. ..so glad this ep aired afterwards.
We know when we see Dean drinking on his own that things are getting bad. He doesn’t seem to have leant about sharing his innermost fears and still tries to block them out. What’s up with him not telling Lisa the truth!!! I don’t understand. She obviously knows about a lot of Dean’s life as she mentioned the bringing back of Sam from the dead. ..so there’s no holding back with the weirdness in some areas. So why didn’t he tell her about the vampire thing? Can I smack some sense into him. Can I? Huh, huh, huh.
So Dean’s phoning Bobby again and this time finding out some truths he’d rather not have heard. So…Bobby gets time for a pedicure…and has the hots for the pedicurist. TMI Bobby but funny as hell. Not so funny knowing you have a favourite. I thought you were like a father to them both. Obviously not. That makes me sad.
Lisa’s phone call - not surprising what she said after everything they’d been through in the past year. Lisa’s right - Dean and Sam have a tangled life of pain and misery. And good for her for not wanting to be part of it.
Interestingly…despite last week’s ep when doubt’s been thrown on Sam’s intentions, he still wants to make sure Dean doesn’t get killed by Veritas. So whatever is going on with him he does seem genuinely interested in keeping his brother from serious harm.
And Sam sits there all night in front of his laptop totally focussed on the job. It’s like the old Sam plus a bit of something extra. I did notice he took his shirt off. *big sigh* revealing the grey t-shirt of yum.
I wonder if Dean ate all night. That guy’s stomach is a bottomless pit!
So off they go to find the goddess.
Love Dean‘s line. “I’m sure inside it’s chock full of creep.”
I did kind of wonder at them walking straight into a goddess’ lair with just knives dipped in blood. They know how powerful gods can be and here they are asking for trouble. And they got it of course.
All nicely tied up. Hmmm… now, where was I?
I had to close my eyes with the tongue bit...bleugh!.
Veritas questions to Dean: it really wasn’t a surprise to hear his answers and when he said Sam was just like him you could feel the misery just oozing out of him. He didn’t like it.
Interesting when Veritas questioned Sam though. He lied and she was shocked . That can’t happen very often then. She said he wasn’t human and for the time being we don’t know if he is or not. Sam looked as shocked as Dean at that.
So Sam eventually admits that’s something’s not right with him and we still don’t know if he’s lying or not…but what he said makes sense. It ties in with everything we’ve seen so far. And he pleads for help.
I know Dean been through a lot; he’d been drinking; he had to listen to Lisa say what she did but I’m disappointed to see Dean pummel Sam into unconsciousness
I’ve mixed feelings here. On the one hand I love it when they fight but… this wasn’t a fight, it was ugly. It was a one sided beating, with Dean pretty much taking all his frustrations out on Sam. He can’t use the excuse of being possessed or being hopped up on demon blood either; it was plain ol’ human anger getting the better of him. He was an animal....and not the sexy kind.
Maybe the writers wanted to show how Dean had reverted back to his old S1 self. But I’m a bit disappointed he hasn’t been allowed to grow past this smacking of Sam when the mood takes him. A couple of punches would have been enough to make the point but he totally lost control of himself. Shame. I’d been feeling for Dean in theses S6 eps but I‘ve lost that for the moment.
Anyway I was left numb.
Although Sam does look gorgeous all bloody. Yeah like I said …mixed feelings.
Next weeks ep can’t come soon enough.
