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.

I seem to be the only person in the fandom who thought Sam assumed Dean was right behind him when he left the house. The way I read it, he didn't even notice Dean wasn't with them until he got in the car. Maybe because that's the only way any of that made sense. :-/

Good Point. Im going to rewatch tonight. I could have sworn that Dean told them to go ahead to the car and he would meet them. Could have sworn--have to check later. It was definitely not a massive cliffie--personally, Im happy with it. This season has been amazing so far. Cant wait for Jan 20 2015!

LOVED the boys talking about john and his questionable parenting. But doing in a way that was more love than hate. I was thinking about this yesterday. John was def not father of the year but he did somethings right. The family motto==Saving people, hunting things" thats all John Winchester. It could have easily been "Hunting things" the saving people was JW.

I also read it as Sam thinking Dean was right behind him. What I do not understand is how Sam did not NOTICE sooner that Dean was taking longer to leave until he heard something. Sam was ALL RELAXED and smiling in the car. Just did not make sense for Sam's character. Very OOC.

Agreed. Clumsy editing, or yet another example of forcing Sam into OOC behavior to suit the plot. Maaaan, am I getting fed up with framing Sam as the heavy.

I think when I was watching that was my assumption too. I think we have to assume that what was happening in the house was happening at the exact time that Sam and Cas were leaving. So by the time Sam realised Dean was not behind him the killing had already been done. It's the only way I can reconcile how that all went down. But yeah, on my re-watch I'll have to take a closer look at that scene.

No, I'm with you. And the slow motion shot of Sam when he heard the noise in the house suggested that the Mark took over very, very fast.

You aren't the only one. I have to assume Sam thought Dean was right there; Sam never would've left Dean in there long enough for him to slaughter the whole damned room.
