[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
I forgot about how rapist guy died. That was kind of cool.Kripke's is a vengeful god.
Maybe he considers the fact that the Winchesters are taking God's smighty smiter and enacting justice upon the supernatural as just as bad as being a vigilante against living humans?It's a valid argument. It's not my argument, but it's valid.
Or maybe the Father was referring to whatever the YED did to him as a baby?
Maybe I could be saved. Oh Sam.
This was the first time I felt like maybe JP was going to grow up to be a decent actor--more than hitting his mark, staying in his light, and saying his lines. Very deeply felt and underplayed. Beautiful.
Oh, the completely gratuitous hand-and-flask porn.
Bless you, Show.
The end is the only thing that pings me. Sam:What did you see? Dean: Maybe, God's Will.
Huh. I've seen a lotta things that looked more like God's Will than that coincidental auto accident. I don't think God smites someone down whenever something falls off the back of a truck and crashes through the car behind it. I know it is "buy-able", but still, I would have liked to have had it sold just a little more to feel Dean's being able to open himself up to believe.
...or maybe Sam's sin was bringing Dean back from the grips of death?
But I think the point was these were people who needed saving, redemption, and I think a part of that is realizing that you have a choice. That, down the road, Sam would be put in situations that would (try to) tempt him to work for the YED, that this is one of his paths that he needs to be steered from... and I'm babbling and make no sense to my own self...
Maybe I could be saved. Oh Sam.
And then Dean's "Maybe God's will."
I don't think anyone, if you believe that way, is *without* sin. Even a priest will covet or whatever. I guess it struck me that Father Gregory seemed to choose people so clearly in despair, broken, sinned (or even sinned against?) to *carry out* his work, that appearing to Sam struck me as out of the pattern.
Of course, the people he chose to act for him were also people who possibly needed or wanted redemption, so...
Sam is just so. sad. and broken there at the end, so disappointed. And the line where Dean says he's looking out for him, and he says, "I know, but you're only one person. I was hoping something else would be looking out, too" ... GUH.
Although, that plays so well into Dean's anxieties and self-worth issues. Will he be enough? Can he be enough? He loves Sam most. Why can't he save him, protect him?
Oh, SHOW.

So much Yes.

Ohh, this.
This ep is one hell of a kick in the teeth when you know that BUaBS is right after it (especially on first viewing, when you don't know what's going on with Sam)...
