spn episode 7.04

[kassidy62]

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:)

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.
