Oh, the completely gratuitous hand-and-flask porn.
Bless you, Show.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
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...

Because books.
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.

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)...

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
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.Well, no. Noone is without sin. But Sam and Dean live through stealing, lie daily, break in to places, desecrate graves. I mean, yes, they are fighting against evil. But I don't think I can really say they are fighting *for good*, they are fighting against evil.
And Sam is in despair. His visions and what he might become? He made Dean promise to kill him. And while I think that was easier for Sam to ask, I don't think it was actually easy at all for him. I see Sam as broken a lot of the time. Guilty too, the demon killing his mom, killing Jess and causing all of this death and pain was because of him. Not his fault, and I don't blame him, but it's about Sam a lot of the time.

I didn't realize BUABS was next. I have a question about that: is there ever a point at which we saw but didn't know Sam was possessed? Or was that something that happened offscreen inbetween eps?

I don't think he's at DESPAIR yet. That's pretty much equal to without hope, in my mind. He's still fighting, and he's not sure. I see the comparison, but the hooker and the drunk were so clearly defined as helpless, as having given up, that Sam struck me as an odd choice.
I get why they did it, of course, and I get that Sam is not exactly full of hope, but he hasn't sunk yet. I don't think he can, because -- until now -- he does have faith, he does believe, he does pray.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Damn. I should have watched these eps in reverse order. I needed laughs after this pain. Note to self..schedule the happy after Supernatural.
