I would have preferred that they had made Bela a just a plain, cold-blooded murderer because I still don't have any sympathy for her.

I tend to think that was a pipe dream on Sam's part—the collection process on a deal for one's immortal soul would supersede having some reanimatory chemical in the body (though I suppose Dean's corpse might have gone on functioning afterwards as an empty shell). Also, if Dean willingly let Dr. Frankenstein go and kill more innocent people in return for the formula, he would deserve to go to hell.
I actually really liked that backstory for Bela. also? great casting for younger Bela.
Jensen was ten million kinds of hot tonight, which is nothing new, but tonight it was more obvious to me.
great casting for younger Bela.
That actress was really good.
I agree, tiggy. Jettisoning Bela's story would have left what would have seemed to be a pointless loose end. Now we know why she became a dealer/thief, and now we know why she was interested in the boys.
Plus, thanks to her we know Lilith holds the contract on all sold souls, which is helpful.
I did have a lot of sympathy for Bela. Incest may be overused as a trope, but in real life it doesn't make it any less painful, and as a motive for a teen girl killing her parents, it certainly works for me.
Yay to the X-Files guy, and the guy who played Benton, who's been in EVERYTHING as a villain.
And ... scary that Sam is willing to even think about going that far. Desperate Sammy is sort of heartbreaking, but more than anything else frightening.
interesting that Sam, having seen and almost experienced and heard what the cost of that immortality was, was the one who was willing to attempt it, and that Dean, who didn't have any of that first-hand experience, dismissed it out of hand. Also interesting that he went back to his "black&white/human¬human" mindset for this instance.
I'm just so glad that Bela had a point to her existence in the show.

Yes, and I'm equally glad that her existence is done. I know I've stated it before, so I won't rant again, but I don't think her character was written well enough to add to the character mix. She was dead wood.

forgot to qualify my statement with This.
And I'll hop on the wtf of Dean being immortal having anything to do with his normal or paranormal lifespan having absolutely nothing to do with when the hellhounds come for him.
That was really gross.

Yes, but I would have been happier if the show hadn't pulled out that trope. Lots, lots happier, because I'm tired of it being used as the motivation for just about every vaguely bad-ass female character in the horror genre.
