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:)

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.
