There's nothing special about the Winchesters, just bloody-minded determination and the worst luck in the world.
Wrod.
I am thinking as fast as Bobby or Dean was trying to get that iron peep hole shut and bolted (???), they were worried about what Sam could/would do unless fully sealed in iron.
I would think that Sam wouldn't be happy about being reliant on demon blood, but I also think that he believes his jedi powers are his strongest weapon right now. He lost Jess, lost his father, (never really knew Mary), and went through months of hell having lost Dean via the Trickster, spent a year frantically trying and then failing to save Dean from his deal, and then spent more months unsuccessfully trying to rescue Dean.
I forget sometimes how much Sam has suffered with all my woobishipping of Dean. Poor little Sammy has had his heart ripped out and handed to him canonically so many times, it's amazing that he has any humanity left in him at all.
Did you guys think that the "soon" meant that what they showed in the promo were from the next two episodes - not just next week?
I think we saw through the end of the season finale. Good God that feels good to say instead of adding "maybe series finale unless hopefully we are renewed." Where to direct my neurotic worrying? Oh yeah, swine flu.
Didn't Dean call Sam something like Gigantor or Ginormous or something like that? Was that a shout out to TWOP? Keeping in mind now that I am so attached to SHOW that I don't read the recaps of Supernatural (unless Cindy writes them *Yay Cindy*) but it seems like I remember they called Sam something like that too. I may also be misremembering.
