SPN S08E05 reaction: too many feelings to handle!

-everytime I see Dean is Purgatory I want to cry...I can't even imagine what he went through. Certainly it isn't something you just sit and want to talk about. I understand why he hasn't opened up yet.

-I think Sam is terrified to lose control. His reaction when Dean left was panic. Panic to lose Dean again. I still think it must have been horrible for him to lose his brother.

-Benny and Castiel little rough convo with Dean stuck in the middle reminded me of the confrontation JOhn and Sam had back in Dead's Men Blood. So many feelings!!!

-"even if it kills all the three of us"...awww Dean...*cries*

-Shallow note: Ty Olson eyes are impressive.

-"Vampirates" LOL!

-I feel sad for Benny, seriously sad, because at the end of the day he didn't choose to become a monster...

-Parallel: Benny did everything for the nest, exactly like Dean did for his family. It was good to see a little insight about Benny's life. Then he fell in love and got punished for it.OMG..heartbreaking.

-Dean was about to text Sam...

-Poor Benny.

-Sam come on, just go..don't ask questions. Bad timing. Btw I am interested in watching Dean/Sam relationship developing as I have never been in the last two seasons.

-Yes, Sam is in panic.

-"my wayward son"....awwww....

-Humans kill more humans than vampires...statistically. Oh Cas.

-Amelia and Sam bonded because of their own personal stories. Both of them lost someone and both of them were trying to adjust. I liked that this flashback cut into the actual time when Sam was getting anxious because Dean doesn't pick up his mobile.

-OMG OMG Benny with Andrea broke my heart and the look Dean and Benny exchanged when Dean killed her? Cherry on top of my feelings. There's a lot to say about this episode and the feelings that it gave me, but I am afraid I am not able to write down my thoughts.

-Did Dean good saving Benny or is it something he is going to regret? Having a monster with an existential crisis free to ride the world might be dangerous.

-Here we go, the look on Dean's face said it all. He is ready to be massacrated, figuratevely speaking.

-One note about the acting: I really don't like Jared playing angry!Sam. Never liked it actually.

I loved this episode. It was different from what I was expecting but it gave us some hints to better understand what did happen in the year Dean spent in Purgatory.I think this episode can be depicted as an episode about relationships and their meaning for all the characters. Lots of paralled that would be interesting to analyze a little more (whenever I'll be able too)

I am a happy fangirl so far!

Belatedly checking in on this review, but count me in on wanting an entire season of "The Epic Adventures of Dean, Benny, and Castiel in Purgatory!" Absolutely everything else that happens on this show just pales in comparison. When they stop giving us these glimpses into Purgatory, it's going to be very disappointing to say the least.

And, wow, I really didn't get any panic or concern on Sam's part in this episode, and one of the big problems is how Jared falls so easily into the nostril-flaring bitching-facing routine he does whenever he's mad, sad, annoyed, confused, hungry, constipated ... blah, blah, any and every myriad of emotion he's supposed to be portraying at the time. It's lazy acting.

But in this episode in particular, it's pretty clear from the beginning that, despite what even Dean says he wants, the two men are not enjoying being in each other's company or being reunited again. Whatever Dean was looking for in his relationship with Sam hasn't been there in years, and he needs to give up on that whole fantasy.

All I got from Sam during the phone calls and his going to meet Dean at the docks was exasperation and complete annoyance. I don't think Sam honestly worries for Dean anymore, except that if something happens to Dean this time, Sam would be forced to continue the mission that he wants nothing to do with all by himself. He wouldn't be able to slough off his duties like he did the previous year, because too many people know what's going on this time.

So Sam needs Dean to be focused on the job so they can complete it as fast as possible, so Sam can leave Dean in the dust for good. Considering Sam has said point blank that he wants Dean to hunt without him, it's impossible for me to believe he's suddenly concerned about Dean's welfare when he does hunt alone.

If Jared was supposed to be showing me concern or some realization that Sam really doesn't want Dean to hunt alone, again, he fails miserably because of his one go-to acting choice.

I loved the insights into Benny's vamp life prior to being sent to Purgatory, and, of course, everything that happens with he and Cas in Purgatory - the true camaraderie the three men enjoyed. But seeing as dejected as Benny is at the end, maybe realizing resurrection isn't all it's cracked up to be, my big fear is that he's going to purposely backslide and do something bad in the hope that Dean will be forced to kill him again and send him back to Purgatory where he knows Andrea and his "father" are anyway. :(

Sorry I am late too. Have you seen 8.06? Because right now I can talk only about how much awesome Dean Winchester is.

I think the problem is in Jared's acting because I do thingk Sam's rage comes from the fact that he was lost when Dean "died" and now he can't handle him coming back because this Dean is different with him. This Dean is willing to let him go.

Unfortunately I did see last night's episode and I'm sorry I did because it was exactly what I was afraid of. Glass is writing Garth, who is his fav character, as a fan-ficcy raging one-dimensional Mary Sue, for starters. And, worse, because Glass was Sera Gamble's right hand man when she was there, and believed everything she did that Sam was the only true hero and Dean was just a supporting character to kick around, he gave us another Fallen Idols where, once again, Sam doesn't have to feel bad about anything he did - or did NOT do - and he gets to tell Dean just how little he thinks of him.

Again, if Jared is supposed to show me any shades or layers here, he fails miserably, and there are no excuses anymore. I got from Sam the same thing I've been getting from him since the epic fail of Fallen Idols, and most of the series - pure resentment and disdain of his brother. I feel and see no love, concern, and certainly no appreciation for Dean.

I positively loathe the Dean and Sam relationship, because I don't think it is one. I do think Dean needs to give up on the fantasy that his brother likes him and wants him with him - or even alive. Dean needs to move on.

I'd be happier if both brothers paired up with new partners, or they let Sam retire as another Bobby and play house with Amelia and just take phone calls from now on, and only occasionally crossed paths with Dean if the job required.

Dean and Sam are simply too toxic together.

Dean and Sam are simply too toxic together.
Right now, they are.

Let's hope they can set things right.
