I really really liked Tamara.
I loved the conversation at the end, too -- it feels appropriate, Sam reading up at first, not pushing, Dean being hedonistic, and Sam finally confronting him.
But Dean's "I'm tired" hit me as hard as it did last season.
Tamara was awesome.
The blonde was intriguing. I wonder how long it will take us to find out she's stalking Sam (it's currently reading to me like a neat twist on the Buffy and Angel situation in very early S1 Buffy, what with the kick-ass blonde and the tall, occasionally broody guy).
I have some unspoiled speculation on who she might be, but I'm probably wrong-wrongity-wrong.
Aww. I bet Isaac was a cool dude when he wasn't a possessed corpse or getting his alpha on.
Blonde girl remains disturbingly hot to me. I remain uncomfortable with this.
I have possibly watched that confrontation at the end a few times. Maybe.
But Dean's "I'm tired" hit me as hard as it did last season.
Yes. This. I'm glad they didn't drop that idea.
Anne, if your unspoiled spec is the same as mine, and she's got a dead father in the wings, I hope we're correct. We're probably not, but wouldn't that be awesome?
Also! Anyone notice how much of this episode was Sam POV? (Like, if I were writing the novelization of the episode, it would be in 3rd limited Sam POV.) That was just spiffy keen, and a nice change.
Anyone notice how much of this episode was Sam POV?
Very much so.
I really want to know what Sam was thinking when Greed was describing their sins, what motivates them. I would love to know what Sam thinks his greatest sins are.
this episode was Sam POV?
That's a good point. The past two years was all about Dean saving Sam and now this year is Sam saving Dean, so the POV makes more sense.
Anne, if your unspoiled spec is the same as mine, and she's got a dead father in the wings, I hope we're correct. We're probably not, but wouldn't that be awesome?
I believe we are thinking along the same lines, and yes, that would be awesome.
holds out hope for narratively satisfying correctness
Victoria P. over in LJ pointed out that Sam gets choked by Pride in this.
Also, I maintain that Pride was cast because they'd found an actor almost as tall as JP and couldn't resist.
I would love to know what Sam thinks his greatest sins are.
I think the fact that Pride singled him out for taunting is a bit telling regarding the reality. If Sam had to pick, on the other hand, I think he might pick wrath.
