After posting my initial reaction earlier I couldn't resist the poll because I'm curious what you all thought. A more detailed review to follow when I can gather my thoughts.
The moment Sam walked out of the house I yelled at the screen. That tiny piece of scene was the worst writing since season 9. It was so ridiculously OOC for either of them. Since when do Sam or Dean ever not have the other's back, especially when they're outnumbered? Stupid. Just stupid. There's a great discussion post on tumblr that's been going around for a week or so about how badly the writers have dumbed down the Winchesters. I linked it on twitter and tagged a couple of the writers. I hope at least one of them sees it.
So agree. I kept saying, "why is Sam leaving?" And just Dean nodding to Sam & Cas to leave ahead of him seemed...strange enough that I as knocked out of the story wondering why they made that choice.
OMG, they have TOTALLY dumbed down the boys. No shit. Edlund was the last writer to have treated Sam's intellect with the humor and respect it deserved. Share the link here?
I don't even give a pass to Edlund. I will never, ever forgive him for having Sam confuse Metatron with Megatron.
Sam's only been researching angels and biblical lore since trying to stop the Apocalypse. This is the guy who recalls a random Native American symbol from a college class years ago. But he can't recall the name of a being who is mainstream knowledge enough to have made it into the movie 'Dogma' (god I love Alan Rickman in that!). Riiiiight.
