I'm not going to be writing up a reaction or review of 10.12. In fact, it's unlikely I'll be writing them any more. I feel I only want to complain these days and that's not fair on anyone (though I'm thinking of writing up some general stuff - mostly to help me try and work why I'm feeling just over it all).

I am still curious about what every one thought so I'll still do the polls (if you're all still happy to fill them out *g*).

Hi. It's an interesting point. I really can't work it out. It's like they fear that if Sam is instrumental in those fight scenes (or has moments any other character) it will some how detract from Dean. I think Sam's "need" to be rescued is tied into Dean's heroism. There are times I love it, but man - it's becoming so repetitive.

might we resent it more because as women, we were enjoying watching a relationship between equals?

I certainly know I enjoy watching them as equals. :) Not sure if that's because I'm a women or just because the one sided story telling is getting a bit tedious to me.

I wasn't as upset as other people with the ep

Oh, other people were upset with it? I felt like I was the only one (and actually, I enjoyed it. Like last week's episode. They're fine, but I'm just not feeling them like I used to). I've mostly seen squee (which is great!) so I've been really feeling out of step…)

You should been on Twitter. Lots of screaming and carrying on.

I've enjoyed it more on rewatch, plus I can see more of Sam's being part of the action. Except for the mandatory knocked down/helpless part, he tackles Hansel and is fighting until the witch throws him against the wall in the usual fashion. It's easy to miss on first watch. He's very protective of Dean throughout the episode, in an active way rather than a passive way.

Haha! I was on twitter for a bit (jumped on a friends tweet - while she was squeeing about it. I shouldn't have done that but her saying that it showed character growth just made me O_o)

Sam WAS mostly active in the ep. I re-watched it too and saw that. I did like how protective he was. And Dylan was awesome. My niggles aren't actually with that episode as such - I just had that moment of clarity about the show - that moment when you realise it's not going to do what you hoped it would.
