REVIEWS
We also got another look at the changing Sammy, only it may not be dark Sammy after all. They've been pretty consistent with building this all season, so it was nice to see it come to a head with Dean calling Sam out for not acting like himself.

And we see the true turning point of Sam. I had suspected that the character was reaching a point of entropy, where he would gradually descend into whatever chaos and darkness was apparently part of him since his return from death. Instead, it seems he is approaching his own singularity. One definition of singularity is, of course, the condition of being singular. Another is a point in the future beyond which overwhelming changes have made events unpredictable.

And here's her big confession: she wants to help Sam win the war because hell's fire didn't work on her and she still remembers what it was like to be human. And I can't buy it. I would find it far more likely that she's trying to make up for having been a witch, that she's trying to regain her soul and get her way into a heaven - a sort of demon female version of John Constantine. But no, apparently it's out of the goodness of her heart.

There's no saving me from the pit, is there?" "No."
That one line was pretty devastating to hear. It makes me wonder if Dean will have to at least make a temporary trip down to hell before Sam figures out a way to save him.

So all the demons she's known? Were once human. Dean needs to find out a way to have that not happen to him, thank you very much. Dean finally meeting Ruby was handled well. The two have an interesting dynamic.


Just a thought: do you think Dean's destined to die in order for Sam to fulfill his destiny? Maybe Sam's destiny isn't to be the boy king, but to be the one who brings down the demons looking to destroy humanity on Earth.
...this one gives me chills, but I have always said Dean will die at the very end of this show, so maybe I just have to get ready...*sighs*...SOOOOONIAAAAAA!!!
