Sam really will forgive Dean anything, I think. I like this. Doesn't bode well for the world, but I like it.

Of course! None of the rest of you have EVER considered that a fine way to pass your car-free commute.

That episode hit me so hard, I couldn't watch Sarah Connor Chronicles until this week (I'm now almost caught up with it) because if I went to watch something on the phone, it was always ItB.

So Dean's slept with an angel who chose to fall, cutting out her own grace so she could feel things as a human does. Sam slept with a demon who's been choosing to unfall, or whatever, because she remembers feeling things as a human.

Sam has been carrying the weight of his demon blood. Dean's been carrying the weight of his, for want of a better term, demon internship/training/coursework.

I feel like I'm on the cusp of some words involving the boys' journeys on separate paths with the same destination, and Ruby and Anna's similarities and the whole heaven and hell as a metaphor.

Or at work, when it is slow. I would NEVER do that.

YUM.

I feel you are the cusp of this as well. Keep going, dammit.

I mean, they *are* walking these mirror paths and ... I swear Kripke better know where he's going with this.

I'm hoping we get to see Anna, again. And find out what her angelic moniker is. I mean, she'll need a new meatsuit since she kind of nuked the one she was in, but I really want to see her release a can of whoopass on Uriel. Someone's got to!

Damn, just realized (again) that they nuked Anna's meatsuit. I loved that meatsuit. Especially the meathair portion.

(That should be "the whole heaven and hell as a metaphor for the human condition thing" or something like that.)

I'm pleased with how messy the concepts of good and evil are. The show, being what it is, is not as astonishingly good at showing every action having a consequence as the only other show I'm watching is (that being Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), which is an occasional source of frustration to us all, but the blurry lines with love and hate, good and evil, choice and destiny? Maybe part of the sloppy edges of the show itself, but lovely to see, for me.

Angels can appear in dreams, this we know.

Therefore, perhaps angels can appear in those special sort of grace-filled dreams. Nudge, nudge. Say no more.

Are you trying to say Anna might be Dean's night time happy place?

It's the sloppy that I love. Not because it's sloppy but because there aren't clear lines. There aren't even clear vague guidelines. It's all gray.

And no matter how much white you add after that, you still only have gray.
