Huh. I liked the interaction between the boys (and yes, JP did a really good job), but on the whole, I found tonight's episode kinda eh. And Full Of Anvils.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I may be closer to Jilli on this than to others. Something felt off with the SamandDean interactions--not the acting, but how it played out.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
And Full Of Anvils.
Soooo many anvils.
I was surprised that all the secrets came out. In that case, it does seem quite plausible for Sam to have been on the time trip last week originally since it was never planned to keep that knowledge secret from him. Huh.

Not to be the voice of dissent here, but why is it evil (EVIL! EVIL! EVIL!) for Sam to exorcise demons the way he was? He got rid of demons, which is good. The host remained alive, which is good. Is it because he was using psychic powers? Are psychic powers inherently EVIL? Or is it because he was working with Ruby? (Or are we to assume that he was doing something else that Castiel and company know about but we haven't seen yet?)

Honestly, I was thinking the same thing throughout the episode. Dean kept talking about a slippery slope, but...what slope? He's exorcising demons in a way that keeps hosts alive. Deliberately. How does that lead to a path of doom? Where does that logically lead to anything bad? Because he'll get high on his superpower and stop caring whether he leaves his host alive?

I suppose they are if they come from demon blood.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Are psychic powers inherently EVIL?
I think it's about the source of the power and what use of that power could develop into. He's dipping a toe into the the dark side of the force.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
ooh ... a thought ... someone mentioned something about maybe Ruby takes the exorcised hosts off and kills them. What if she takes them off and gets them possessed by another demon, one on her side? (she has an agenda - you just know she has an agenda)
