kassidy62 | spn episode 7.04

I am becoming silent online. So I thought I'd say something. I agree with

giandujakiss - Dean's angst and guilt has been overkilled, and for me it's been that way for a long time, but this episode worked for him, I'm relieved to say. They didn't drown us in it, and Dean was very affecting in the episode. Jo was all right, inasmuch as she was allowed to be. I've not been a fan of bringing on other old gods in the show, so far, and that continues, maybe because they're like a quickly written solution to putting out another episode instead of something inspired. I wish they'd maintain more of a continuity thread through the episodes, more references to leviathans, maybe, and also maybe quit using Sam pressing his hand as a ready go-to when Sam hears Luci - already feels like a stunt.

Even with the secret between the guys, it's good to see them together this way. I had this thought that it'd be awesome if Dean's secret was outed during the trial and Sam still managed to defend him, but oh well. I'll wait and see what they're going to do with this.

I loved the first two episodes of the season, by the way. The 2nd the very best:)

I really love the brother scenes...with so much tension between them for so many years and with all they've been through, it really feels earned to me.

(I would also like them to get away from the hand-pressing. I mean, eventually that wound's gonna heal, right?)

eventually, surely, the hand will heal. I'd sort of thought he's pressing it as a device to remember the pain at this point, but still ... I like Sam's tortured, blank stare better than the hand press any old day.

YES. THE BROTHERS. I am eating it up.

This was really what I'd wanted too. So while I enjoyed this episode, I feel like they missed an opportunity. It would have been very interesting indeed to see Sam have to push past his own feelings about Amy's death to understand instead why Dean might have felt he needed to do what he'd done.

It would have been great, but I guess they want this secret more as part of an arc of what happens this season. It all depends on how they handle it. I sort of enjoyed the episode, more because of the Js than because of the writing. I wish they could keep something of the intensity going that they brought to the first two episodes of the season.

Unfortunately, wallowing in Dean's angst, and conveniently ignoring the season's Big Bad for several episodes at a time is something Show has been handing us for...what, 4 years now? So I doubt that's something that's going to go away anytime soon, if ever. I put it down as "It's what they do. Now, what else is there?"

I thought the scenes between Dean and Jo were absolutely gorgeous, and nicely played by Jensen and Alona. Thought Osiris was a hoot. Loved Sam building his defense on things he'd seen on "The Good Wife." And I think I'll take the other POV from you, Kass - out of the 4 we've seen so far, 7.02 was my least favorite, although I did enjoy it. I'm LOVING this season, which is a really welcome feeling, because I really had trouble even tolerating S5 and S6.

I tolerate all the seasons fine - in between pulling out my hair;)

As for 7.02, yeah, we've def. got different POVs on it. I thought it was seriously excellent characterization, some really creepy mind games for Sam, and it made me hopeful for the rest of the season. Then 7.03 just hopped right over all the possible h/c they'd generated at the end, drat it all.

As for Osiris, he fell flat for me - like he's a plugin for a fairly forumulaic episode.
