feliciakw"Fresh Blood."
Written by Sera Gamble.
Directed by Kim Manners.
It has two of the best brother scenes in the entire series.
Even the Gordon-Kubrick scene has a particular poignancy.
Gamble and Manners: a winning combination.
(Well, Manners and anybody is pretty much a winning combination.)
Season 3 has a certain ineffable quality to it. The brothers are still brothers, but they're at odds like they've never been before. Yet in some ways, they're closer than they've ever been. There's a desperation to the season, the urgency of getting Dean out of his deal, and the changes in Sam that provide Ruby with that crack in the door to worm her way in.
Oh, and I do kinda miss Ruby 1.0, though I can understand Ruby 2.0's change in tactics.
S3 is heart-hurty and desperate, but there's also a sort of desperate hope to it, too.
If that makes any sense at all.
