x5valeAwwwwww this show!
I don't know from where to start, I'm torn between the crazy fangirl or the serious person.
This episode was perfect, until the end. The first time I watched it,it bothered me a little but now, the more I think about it, the more I don't like it. Just the end.
I'll come on it later.
I loved how they made a mythologic episode without actually telling us more about it. I mean we had a pissed off demon who was connected to the BIG ONE but that we don't know if was there for his father or not. Kripke, evil genius!
The beginning, loved it. Sam missing, Dean losing his mind, worried for his brother. Then the call and Dean on his way to get to Sam. The relief on his face when he saw him, then again the worry when he saw the blood. Sam's stilness and Dean realizing that he was ok. The investigation, how they found and followed the tracks. How they found out that Sam had killed the hunter...everything was just perfect.
Then again, Sam begging his brother to kill him,giving him the gun, Dean saying that he couldn't, that he would have done only if he hadn't been able to save him.
So much brotherly love and angst.
The interaction and the chemistry between Jensen and Jared blew me away more than ever. Their acting was amazing. Jared playing Evil Sam was unbelievable good. I can't say hot, but amazing. Totally adding more to the character.
About Jensen I won't say much, he did what he's able to do better: acting.
About the characters:
I loved Alona Tal and Jo. I've always liked her and after this episode, I'm so sorry she won't be a love interest for Dean. She will maybe love him or not, but clearly Dean won't.I still think this wasn't the right move,since I saw the chemistry and I find hilarious that some fans that were nasty towards her, now are saying "oh she is not bad"...I'm not talking about the fans who didn't like her for the more different reasons,I respect their opinions. Fine. I miss the potential this thing might have been.

valis_rose knows what I mean ;)
Bobby: good guy. Ready to help the boys and smart enough to understand that Sam was possessed. The brothers will need him again and I'm sure they can rely on him.
Sam: EVIL!SAm was great. I was excited to see him and I wasn't disappointed. He was powerful and intense. Credible. And cruel, so damn cruel. Towards Jo,towards Dean. The things he said to Dean. This time, at least, he didn't say things he really thought like he did in Asylum. He said what the demon was thinking. He hurt Dean with words, he knocked him out, he shot him and beat him to death. He (the demon) wanted to make
Dean pay..., but he couldn't kill him. I don't buy he didn't want, I think he couldn't.
Then when he was back,when he was Sammy again...he apparentely dealt with what had happened better that I thought. This is a good thing, because Sam needs to be strong. Sooner or later he will have to face the DEMON, not one of his children.
I wonder if the feelings he was confessing to have were real or just something the demon was saying to get to Dean.
I also wonder if the demon was testing Dean when Sam asked him to shoot him or he would have killed Jo.
Chatting with a friend (mc2) she said the demon was lying to Dean, pretending to be Sammy. This can be. An awesome way to test Dean.
Dean: I had worried big brother, hurt!Dean and angry!Dean. I should be happy.
I was expecting to see him going through a lot of pain, but this was too much even for him. I mean let's see what happened to him in this episode: he lost Sam, he found out Sam killed a hunter, that Sam was possessed, Sam asked Dean to kill him, Sam punched him, then shot him, smashed him against a wall, then beat him, hurt him (DEVIL'S TRAP part 2) badly and he is supposed to deal with all of this without even flinching?
I mean he broke down in CSPWDT and now he is not. Everything is spinning out of control and he is calm. He's internalizing everything he has been told and done,as if it hadn't ever happened. How long can he go on like that?
He was in check and focused on finding a way to save his brother, he looked like John, but how long does this last?
Possessed Sam manipulated him and when he found out, he only wanted to bring his brother back. He was going to let Jo die in order to save his brother and I'm sure that, if he had to sacrifice someone for Sam, he'll do.
Kripke put too much on his shoulders and it makes me smile when I read some comments about him not being strong like in S1. Oh come on!
So the end, I felt the lack of something.
After Asylum, I wanted so badly Sam to apologize to Dean more than he actually did. I still think he should have done and he had no excuse.
Now after what he had done to Dean...in DT, Meg remembered something, in CB the girl didn't. I don't like that Sam isn't aware of what he did. I can't believe Dean has to deal with the guilt for what happened to John and with the responsibility of watching out for Sam and Sam hasn't even to ask to his brother how he is.
Not to apologize, he's not his fault. But like I hated John at the end of DT, I can't like how BUABS ended.
Don't get me wrong, dealinmg with this "the demon has plans for me" stuff must be terrible for Sammy and, like I have already said, I love how he's reacting.This is about the brotherly relationship. I think Bobby and Dean told him what had happened. They owed him and explanation. Plus when Bobby was talking about the killed hunter and Sam said "Dean", it was clear he knew. Then he talked about the hunter, about Jo...not about Dean. Perfectly in character with Sam, but still, I don't like it.
Talking about Devils' Trap and the possessions, I think both JDM and JP did and amazing job.
John was able to defeat the more powerful Demon because he was killing Dean and his son was begging him. Sam wasn't able, but I don't blame him for this. I think he's
weaker than John, because he is younger and torn. I said this somewhere, thinking his destiny is to be evil, makes the fight between Sam and the demon less easy for our boy. I mean if he doubts himself, he can't really fight the demon.
This is going to be a great issue for Sam. *hugs Sammy*
Highlights:
-Dean calling Hellen at the beginning
-Dean seeing that Sam was bleeding
-Sam whispering "hi Dean"
-Dean and Sam watching the tape, aww boys, I felt so sorry for you both
-the boys in the shop and Dean saying "I'm asking"
-When Dean said "I tried to much to keep you safe", Jensen broke my heart.
-Sam with Jo, the whole scene kicked ass. Sam taunting her was sexy! The song was sexy!
-dock scene...one of the best
-Jo patching Dean...*is dead from the hotness*
-Dean and Sam fighting, what Sam said, how Dean was looking at him *dies*
Let me be a fangirl for a moment, Jensen was beyond beautiful and hot in this episode :D.

Tina Charles at TV Guide reads my mind:
—Dean spent the entire episode worrying about Sam and trying to come up with a way to save him and not kill him, but when Sam finally comes out of it, all he has are jokes for Dean. How about a little sympathy for Dean's pain? He kept getting left behind; he got shot; dumped in a lake; thrown into some bookshelves; and got a serious beat down. By his own brother! Not to mention, there was the emotional pain of the demon reminding him how broken he really is. I'm just saying, a little TLC from Sammy would go a long way. Although I totally dug Dean punching out a no longer possessed Sam.
Exactly what I missed!

Date: 2007-02-09 05:54 pm (UTC)Other than this-I was happy with the episode. I enjoyed Alona Tal as Jo in here-it was sad that they did an about face and left her character hanging in the breeze though. I had liked Jo all along. I was angry with the way she treated Dean(and Sam to a lesser extent)in the end of NE, but I can understand her emotional reasoning. She's just as broken as Dean is in that area. But I find it very telling that the writers did such an about face over her *Relationship* with Dean. Or I should say lack there of. I enjoyed the humor the two characters/actors shared. They were cute, and very funny together. She knew every button to push on that man-and he let her. LMAO. But I do think she had alot of growing up to do before they would have gotten together-or would have if they'd been able to. But it was sad that Jo still carried a torch for Dean-and knew that he didn't care for her in the same way.
Humor was sparse-but I about died when Dean mentioned Sammy was his son, and ran off to a Justin Timberlake concert(HOMG! HOMG!-dies of giggle fit*. I just rolled! That was so hysterical to me-and the comment *Yes he's a triple threat* nearly did me in. I think I choked on my drink! Jensen did that soooo deadpan, and just right! *Still laughing* And the comment about *Dude, you full on had a chick inside you for a whole week-that's kinda naughty* OMG. *Wipes eyes* Dean the ever present horndog could not let that comment go without adding his own twist to it. Bless the man and his dirty mind!
I thought Jared did a fantabulous job last night! I was crushing on him as possessed Sammy! Then he went back to emo Sam and it was just ok. LMAO. Jensen always brings his game so my fangirly heart always loves him, no matter what! *Giggles* But the pain, him getting shot and tortured-he does it so well. I have always said Jensen is the stronger actor-while Jared has flashes of brilliance. And the punch Dean threw after Sam said *Did I miss anything* Loved it! The WTF expression on Dean's face-after everything that had just happened-and his brother was clueless? Bwahaha! But he suffered for throwing it-poor baby. *Giggles more*
OMG. I rambled on and on here. Heee. But I think you covered pretty much everything I was going to say-but I had to say it too. Hahahaha! I think last night's eppy has become my favorite! Of course-any eppy with Dean in it is always a favorite too!
*Hugs*
