I think I REALLY need to crack on with my work on producing a best-seller so I can stop working and start fangirling full time, living off my profits. I've had short snippets of time all day. Doesn't the Universe know that SPN is back on air?
Poor Sammy. Poor Sammy, poor Sammy, poor Sammy.*mothers him until the end of days*
Dean's hair. Dean's hair, Dean's hair, Dean's sexy hair.*is embarrassed to say what she does to him*
You said: "I loved what they did with Sam. He's done so much character development, they couldn't just revert to Mystery Spot. He's accepted the death of his brother, he's working to put him to rest. Sam's misunderstanding of the situation was one of the things I loved most, and that also hurt the most."
I was just asking for frozen_delight's opinion on this, because she seems to have seen the episode inside out and I've been waiting to have time to re-watch it, because it wasn't how I interpreted what was going on with Sam on first viewing. But from my (admittedly limited) scroll through some blogs, it seems there's some confusion about what's what at the moment. Anyway I got the impression that Sam knew Dean was out there, alive and kicking, and was trying to find him—his line to Cas about how it'd be good to get him back and kick his butt seems to suggest that. And that only when he saw the video he thought Dean was dead and possessed by a demon. But I thought between that discovery and him finding out that Dean was alive after all, there was very little time to conclude that he had accepted Dean's death and was working to put him to rest. Also, his characterisation at the end of season nine seemed to take a sharp turn when he confessed to Dean that he had lied about being ready to let him go and then there was the scene of him trying to summon Crowley. He didn't look like he had accepted Dean's death and Crowley's words also suggested Sam was trying to bring Dean back. Although Crowley lies! Although in this case, seeing that he was talking more for dramatic effect than with an actual purpose, he had no reason to lie.
Like I said, confused.
So yes, I've been waiting to have time to re-watch the episode, because I'm confused about other things too. For instance, is Crowley lying to Dean when he told him he will become a demon if the Mark isn't 'fed'? I don't think he is, but we see Dean's eyes clearly black so I don't know whether you can become a demon in stages...Also, do you know whether Crowley's 'healed' from his addiction to human blood? I know it's a bit random, but I just thought about it.
Oh! I am also confused about the final scene. If Dean doesn't care about Sam being dead, why does he ask the new guy if Sam is dead and then insists to make sure Sam's alive. Is he bluffing maybe? Why is he threatening to kill New Guy if he doesn't care about Sam? Is it because New Guy is showing disrespect by trying to call the shots? That's what I thought.
Is New Guy a hunter, do you think?
I should have started this with 'Dear Bobby, I have a few questions..."
I liked Hannah and I feel that Castiel will turn into the teacher himself this time. It's so strange and unsettling to see him cough and be poorly. Crowley didn't look like the picture of youth and health, either, and let's not even talk about Sammy. Seems like letting go of your morals and growing your hair is just the ticket.;)
