I don't know why, but it's not just on here that I've seen it. I personally don't prefer either over the other :)<br /><br />Ok, favorite moments: Rufus quitting his 'retirement' for the apocalypse that has been put into motion, thought that was a great touch. Ellen's moment with Dean was also great, and so was Sam's hesitation with the blood on his thumb.<br /><br />Perhaps my favorites, no surprise, involve Castiel. The humor of him having to call instead of just whooshing in and, of course, his perfectly delivered line. "No, he's not on any flatbread." God, that look of confusion on Misha's face, kills me every time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05027982158329752966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-84267804335921895002016-10-07T15:51:29.219-04:002016-10-07T15:51:29.219-04:00You defiantly called it here :PYou defiantly called it here :PMatthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09036456140557900355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-53288684321075953072012-02-27T12:30:38.695-05:002012-02-27T12:30:38.695-05:00I have very little to add as the review and all th...I have very little to add as the review and all the comments have pretty much said it all. <br /><br />I did, however, think the always excellent music was absolutely brilliant this episode. Starting the episode with Foreigner's 'Long Long Way From Home' (the lyrics are perfect!) followed by Norman Greenbaum's 'Spirit in the Sky' was sheer genius. As Dean said on the bridge, "the hits just keep on coming!"<br /><br />Don't like seeing our boys apart, but it might be best for right now.

Did anyone else notice how Ellen almost completely ingored Sam (she threw water on Dean's face, slapped him and hugged him...) It was a nice way of marginalizing Sam even more, making him want to assert himself later on in the episode. <br /><br />Imagine a halucinating hunter - black eyes everywhere.

The Sam/Dean exchange, as I remember was:<br /><br />Dean: Where did you get the money to buy Dad a gift?<br />Sam: Bobby gave it to me.<br /><br />I assumed Bobby had given him the money, no the necklace. And I found extremely improbable that Sam would buy the very necklace that can find God. Now everything seems much more plausible. Maybe Bobby had it and never thought there was use to it, like Giles in that S04 Buffy episode, where he had an very important item which was to be used to bring about (surprise!) the apocalypse lying inside a drawer.<br /><br />As I commented in my twitter, Supernatural is getting more and more similar to the best of Buffy/Angel as the Seasons come by.

No idea how Bobby got his hands on it.<br /><br />Still, as you note, it is pretty interesting that the amulet was originally intended for John but ended up with Dean, just as John's intended role as the first seal also fell to Dean.

Especially considering that John was supposed to be the one who lost his morals in Hell (according the Alistair in Season 3), but Dean lost his first. <br /><br />Perhaps this is all addressed in the next few episodes?

One is a big coincidence, I mean, Jacob and Lucifer were much talked about characters before they appeared, and nobody really knows their agendas.<br />But hiring both of them is starting to make me wonder if this shoutout to LOST is intentional.<br /><br />I don't know. Maybe I'm just rambling.Gustavo Brunettinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-61323542217946665562009-12-18T19:50:30.303-05:002009-12-18T19:50:30.303-05:00There was one thing, that makes me curious about t...There was one thing, that makes me curious about the hole Demon-thing in town:<br />When Sam killed the two teenager-pseudo-demons with the magic knife, there was no Sparkling and inner light come out the bodies.<br />There was only blood, and they died.

It's bad enough they treat Sam like a plot device/set decoration 98% of the time, but to do that, that's inexcusable. If it's the later, they need to clear it up, and fast.<br /><br />Splitting up is a bad idea, and I thought Dean came across as very cold in that scene. I was disappointed in this episode, aside from the fun of having Ellen and Rufus back. I leave Jo out, not because I dislike her, but because she didn't really do that much.Jennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-39312708318218704592009-09-19T08:47:53.801-04:002009-09-19T08:47:53.801-04:00I was prepared for this week to be a bit of a letd...I was prepared for this week to be a bit of a letdown after last week's outstanding episode, but we got another strong episode. I thought the introduction of War was great, and I loved the twist that no one was actually demon possessed. And of course, we got lots of good brother angst. It was interesting to see them calmly talk out their issues, then go their separate ways (for now). I'm not really bothered by seeing them split up for now. I think it will be more dramatically satisfying than seeing the constant fighting and mistrust between them. And, as the others have said, I'm sure it will only be for a little while.<br /><br />I really liked seeing Ellen again, but we didn't get much with Rufus and Jo. Hopefully they'll all put in a return appearance at some point.<br /><br />Billie, I loved your comment about Bobby not being a "saintly, cheerful sufferer." He's not saintly or cheerful when he's not suffering, so why should we expect any different now. :) Should be interesting to see how his character (and Dean and Sam) cope with what's happened to him as the season progresses.<br /><br />I was thoroughly delighted that they finally gave us information on what's so special about Dean's amulet. And the scene where he had to give it up was great. Just the start of letting Sam go.<br /><br />Castiel's line about the flat bread was so funny! Glad to see it made the quotes list.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-40785825330954582602009-09-19T07:14:24.233-04:002009-09-19T07:14:24.233-04:00Although it was sad to see the boys separate, I th...Although it was sad to see the boys separate, I thought it was necessary. There's just too much awkwardness and tension between them right now for them to comfortably work and live together 24/7. They definitely need a break from each other to help them move past this.<br /><br />As Mark Greig said, I can't picture this lasting more than a couple of episodes, but it still needs to be in there. And as you said Billie, the Apocalypse won't wait for Sam to get over his issues. I get what you mean about not liking Dean letting Sam go fight it alone, but the problem is Dean is too hurt and upset with Sam to take care of him right now. What Sam <i>should</i> do is go stay with Bobby, but I guess we'll see what he ended up doing next week.<br /><br />In the meantime, looks like we'll be seeing a Dean/Castiel team up. (Conveniently, now that we finally have a 3rd cast member lol.)<br /><br />And yes, I was glad to see other hunters getting involved in the Apocalypse stuff. I hope they keep them recurring. (Although part of me thinks they should have been involved last season as well, since that was about preventing the Apocalypse from even starting...) Anyways, as always, looking forward to seeing where Kripke takes us.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12205722077148940238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-88438285631751946632009-09-19T07:02:14.469-04:002009-09-19T07:02:14.469-04:00I love it that all the demons, angels and monsters...I love it that all the demons, angels and monsters of the week who can talk are as snarky as Dean. War was a pretty funny guy, but I didn't like what he said to Sam, even if he spoke the truth. It WAS a nice twist, having him see demons where they weren't any, just allowing peoples' love for violence come out when they were afraid. I felt awful for Sam when Rufus and Jo were torturing him, and even when it didn't work, kept ON doing it! Wild ride!<br /><br />I'm editor of SUPERNATURAL synopses at a new web site, Moogi.com, and I hope you and all your readers will go check it out, Billie. It's a unique site, with lots of little details and my play by play synopses of both new episodes and old (right now I'm working on the beginning of season 4 and finished the second half of season 3). Eventually, I'll go back and start at the beginning. Check out Moogi.com, and please, leave your comments and questions over there for me!

I’m wondering what the four horsemen actually are? War did not seem to be a demon, fallen angels possibly? Whatever they are I’m defiantly looking forward to seeing the remaining three, Famine, Death and Pollution. No, wait, that last one was Good Omens, sorry. <br /><br />Glad to see Ellen and Jo back after so long, Ellen more than Jo. Really missed her, she’s essentially the stern mother figure for this entire dysfunctional surrogate family. Except now the family is starting to splinter. Can’t see them keeping Sam and Dean apart for long, two or three episodes at the most.Mark Greighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12984193299389764649noreply@blogger.com
