SPN - 8.06

Thing I found the most distracting: Dean's gray tie that he wore during the FBI scenes. It was in complete contrast to Sam's striped tie, and it seemed to reference 50 Shades of Gray *shudder*, or more specifically, how Jensen will never play that role, no matter how many fans want to see him in it. (Now I'm also wondering if the wardrobe ladies have read the book. Or maybe they're just giving Jensen a hard time about it.) Don't get me wrong; I thought it looked really good. I just found it distracting.

And that was way too much to dedicate to a gray tie.

Sam? Oh, Sam. I get that you think your brother is acting very self-righteous. And some of the comments he's made to you have made him kind of a pill, as my mom would say. But your last speech? About how even if he doesn't remember what he said, it still counts? May I gently remind you of something? Dr. Ellicott, maybe? And how you told Dean afterwards that you didn't mean any of it? Or how about the siren incident? Or what about this: How many times have you tried to kill your brother while under a supernatural influence? I can count four off the top of my head. Well, Meg might not count, that was a demon using your body, so maybe three. So, you know.

Now, I admit that when he said that Benny was a better brother than you ever were, that was harsh. Raised my eyebrows, it did. But the past year? Benny got him out when you didn't even look? You do the math.

I kind of anticipate that the two of you will be parting ways at some point. You'll head back to Texas, and Dean will be hunting alone, for the most part. Mayb occasional back-up from Benny. Who knows.

I just want to watch next week's ep to see if the two of you make any sort of progress.

Also? Though Garth will never be a "replacement" for Bobby, and Garth giving Sam and Dean orders is perhaps jarring, I can totally appreciate that Garth looked up to Bobby and wants to be like him. I can also appreciate how someone had to step in a fill the gap. So, Garth? While you can fill the gap left by Bobby, please don't ever try to replace him. You get what I'm saying?

The whole last 10 minutes of that episode were heartbreaking. Painful. Thing is, while I can see why Sam is frustrated, I don't like how he acts like Dean has no reason to be hurt.

I can totally see where Dean was coming from- how it might be easy for him to believe that Sam only ever sticks around when he's forced to but when he actually has a choice, he chooses something or someone other than Dean.

Yup, and I loved how Dean was like, "you shut your mouth." "no, you shut your mouth!"

Hahaha! That's about it basically. I liked the rest of the episode though there were a lot of WTF moments for me (and not necessarily in a good way).
