Although, I will admit you were slightly less creepy this episode

For just a moment there at the end I expected her to actually not fall in line and go along with the suspicious old man who was taking orders from a demon. (Yeah, she was much more likeable tonight.)

Me too! I think that might have pushed me over into liking her.

She was definitely weighing her options.

Dean automatically stops him, calmly, as if he's already adjusted to being Sam's compass, was just heartbreaking and cool all at the same time.

Yes, this. I think they can reach a tentative balance of soul and soullessness. Dean knows what to watch out for, and Sam knows (pretty much) what he's missing. It will get dicey when it comes to judgment, because I'm sure Sam will think his is good too.

Cas was golden as always. Either he plighted his troth or we've seen the first instance of sarcasm in the wild. Can't work out which--they both quite delight me.

Sampa's definitively an ass. At least they're united by that. And they're united to get the soul back (I wasn't sure Sam would want his, honestly).

Oh, you mean Gwen Campbell.

Alpha vamp was Rick Worthy, also a Cylon doctor. No Ben or Lisa. No mention of Adam's fate--suffering with Michael? Crowley could probably fix that for a price.

No mention of Adam's fate

Adam seems destined to be one of those loose ends left fluttering in the wind.

I think that was sarcasm. Either way, wonderful.

Love Alpha Vampire. What was he doing with his nail that got him free? Rick Worthy is very much a That Guy for me - he's been on tons of things - but his role on Eyes seems to be the anchor I can use to place him.

I think I like Soulless Sam. I'm assuming Sampa has a reason for dealing with Crowley similarly compelling as Sam's soul - maybe something Mary related?

I'm not thrilled about Purgatory. I do want to know about the Alpha's mother, though. Intriguing.

If he was being sarcastic, so many wee bits of fics got gently Kripked. How lovely.

Sampa's reasoning could have been about Sam's soul, I was thinking. It might have been part of his goal. Stuff might also be about Deanna's. Mary's is sold and paid for.

This is what I was thinking, and it would tie into the Alpha's mention of a mother.

THAT'S him! Hawt!

By far my favorite episode so far. I can't decide either if that was sarcasm. Must rewatch.
