[Poll #2011057]



This might not work, but I'm keen to try it. I have a heap of thoughts about this episode. So many I'm not really sure where to start. So, instead of writing it all down, how about you share what you thought and we can chat about it? OR ask me a specific question and I'll answer it. That way the conversation will become the episode reaction. If that makes any sense (if not, I'll write something up later…*g*).

I adore talking about the show and accept the individual responses to it. I won't harsh your squee, nor will I spew rainbows over your discontent. At the moment I'm all over the damn place about the episode. I could squee and I could bitch. I saw brilliance and I saw major fail. I'm just…what is this show?! How dare you make me care so much when I see through your contrivance.

In other words…I need to talk!

Ahhh, oh man, I am beyond sick of constantly hearing how Sam is a bad brother because he "can't" save Dean. The show hasn't made it easy on him (help S8!), but Sam has been there for Dean SO many times - it's just that some people don't want to see it. And, tbh, I think there's a journey storyline to Sam failing in the "big" save. I just SERIOUSLY hope that they don't let Cas do the saving in the finale - not after S4. Sam has got to have a win - he's GOT to be able to show Dean that he's capable of saving him. And I HOPE that Dean is finally able to see that. :)

So yep! I hear ya! There are SO many times I want to rant!

(and now this is buried in a thread I can say that I spoke to someone who watches the show regularly but isn't as involved as :koff: some of us and said to me "Sam is so dark and stupid this season" and I'm just…what the hell?! Hee, anyway I ranted and stated my side of things and maybe I convinced her that not only has Sam lost his voice this season but after what happened to him last season how can anyone blame Sam for trying to do everything to save Dean?! Why is it ok that Dean does the worse thing he could to save Sam and yet Sam not burning a spell book to save Dean is the WORSE THING EVER!).

Well good on YOU for maybe changing a perception of our boy because quite frankly (and yes, thank the lord it's now buried in a thread) I am SICK TO THE BACK TEETH of having to defend a man who already has to defend himself constantly. He *is* an amazing guy who simply needs the chance to see himself the way Dean sees him, or Jody or Charlie for that matter. All he sees is the freak and the disappointment. God it riles me so *ahem* seriously, sorry luv, it wasn't meant to turn into a rantymcranty comment thread!

As for Cas doing the saving...*O_O* please please don't let that happen, simply because I will lose a little more faith in the way in which Sammy gets 'written' and 'handled' surely by now they know that they've gotta give him the chance he deserves!

People seem to forget that Dean's always been in *big bro* mode which makes it very hard for the little bro to break out on his own and do the things he's capable of, or get recognised *for* doing those things, when he's lived in that shadow his whole life.
