meh.
So I missed the first five minutes due to Lee being ass about the tv controller and well, being wrapped up in Plants Vs. Zombies. (I'd recovered from my addiction once, why oh why did I go back. SO MUCH FUN IN CO-OP MODE THOUGH.)
There are a lot of negative opinions behind this cut.
I never thought I'd be the one saying I think I'm done with this show. :/
Biggest problems: Predictability and PACING. So obviously new writers, it was ridiculous. Especially when Veritas captured them, and instead of a commercial break, it just faded to black and then came back with them tied up. A better writer would've figured out a way to fit their act breaks to the commercials. Plus the whole episode was just rather boring and slow.
Bobby's little bit where he told the truth was pretty much the highlight for me. "Did I ever tell you my first girlfriend was a-" LOL. Though I did enjoy what Dean said to Veritas, heart-breaking and OH POOR D:EAN as it was, it does seem like what he would think, with the low self-esteem he has.
I'm pissed about the way they're ending Dean and Lisa, if this is the end, but at least satisfied that we got to see that final conversation, that Lisa called back, and they didn't just LEAVE it with her not answering his calls.
Brett figured Sam would be immune to Veritas, just like he'd been immune to pretty much everything else in life (Croatoan, Lilith) but I wanted to argue that he shouldn't be since he'd been brought back. But unlike Dean, we don't actually know whether or not he's scar-free or whatnot, so I suppose that makes sense.
I still don't fully believe Sam, and his "I need help." I don't think he does, because I don't think he cares. Because...
Like 3/4 of fandom predicted, shockingly (my sarcasm can you feel it), Sam doesn't have a soul. It's all about the soul. He's Spike, essentially.
Remember when this show used to shock and surprise us?
So please, people that liked this episode, help me see what you liked so I feel like watching next week.

no subject
That is what I'm arguing since last episode. She knows about this stuff, she has been smack in the middle of it, she knows who Dean is and she knows what kind of creatures exist - there is literally no point for Dean to not tell her that he was temporarily a vampire. I do understand that he doesn't want to sit at the dinner table and be all like "So, last night we totally killed a werewolf. He was stealing hearts and eating them but before he could rip Sam's heart out I shot him in the head. There was blood everywhere. And by the way, if you put some aspirin in the washing machine you will get out the blood easier. True story!" but explaining to her why he almost killed Ben is a whole other story because it wasn't really his fault, because he was different and because he thought he he had to be killed so he wanted to say goodbye. (Oh my god, a killer sentence!).
No, I'm actually not buying either that Sam wants help. Because if he WANTED help he'd told Dean about this earlier, explained it and let Dean help from the beginning. He might've talked to Dean about infiltrating the nest of vamps and would've told Dean there was a cure so all he had to do is resist the blood for long enough. Dean could've decided for himself if he wanted to get turned etc. If Sammy really wanted help this whole thing would've gone differently. I'm just afraid the writers are gonna screw this up epically. It can go so many different ways (good or bad) but they have to be very precise now or they're gonna screw this storyline up (even more!)
I just don't know what will happen when (if?) Sam gets his soul back. In what way will he change and how will his relationship to Dean change (for the better I suppose - no, I actually HOPE!).
Yeah. I have so much to say about this lol
