the poor kid was doomed as soon as Dean deemed him family.
Yeah. There was no escaping his destiny. :(
9.08 is light on re the overall story arc. I mostly love that ep for awesome Jody. Some people had issues with Dean and sex but I didn't (I had a rather large rant typed up about this ep, but I never posted it). 9.09 is hard going and yeah - so much now rests on Sam's reemergence and the aftermath. On the one hand I'm not feeling confident that they will address this satisfactorily - especially where I read a comment from a writer about fans being upset with "but I thought you'd be happy because this is what Dean does for his little brother" (something like that) - seemingly missing the whole point and heavy issue surrounding Dean's decision. BUT on the other hand I am a little more confident that they are aware of the issue because Sam lack of choice was mentioned in 9.09 (I am hoping I'm not spoiling you). Unfortunately it wasn't Sam saying it (grrrrr), but at least it was written. And Dean being confronted with a disastrous result due to his choice gives me hope that it's not something that will be brushed over.
I really want Sam to be able to be a hero in his own right, not just a perpetual victim.
This so much. As I feel Carver is re-exploring earlier issues (from S1-S5) I feel we are leading up to Sam (once again) making his own choices about his destiny and being a hero. It may take a while to get there (at least another season to go I reckon), but I remain cautiously optimistic about that. So much rests on the next couple of episodes - should be a good indication of where they might be planning to take this. I hope I have some good things to report in the next couple of ep reactions.

Oh and YES Dean and Adaddon FTW!! I hope to see interaction between them (or even Sam and Adaddon…or all three!)
