SPN - 9.01 - "I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here"

[feliciakw]

I wasn't expecting that.

Dean letting an angel possess Sam? And stay there?

Was not expecting that.

Also, they used the title of a song from Annie. Huh.

I like Ezekiel. I kinda wish we could have kept the actor. Also, delighted to have another good angel on the show. Although now that he's in Sam, there's less chance of him getting killed off.

(I hope they keep Ezekiel good.)

Also also, really cool opening title card.

"My Three Sams" (again) makes my head hurt a little.

I rather liked Dean's prayer. It was very Dean--equal parts bad-a and heartfelt plea.

Overall, it didn't bowl me over, but it was entertaining enough, and the previews for next week look really good.

Plus, it was nice to have new Dean to watch. *nods*

I'd twist the tale even farther - point: Sam wanted this death to be the last one. Point: only after seeing Sam saying "ok" to Death Dean allows the possession - twist: Sam really wants to die, so Death feeds Zeke a whole bunch of Sam's memories so he can fool Dean.

Tah-dah! Everybody wins - Zeke gets a body fit for an Archangel - Sam finally gets to die - Death finally collects a Winchester for good and Dean thinks he's got Sam back.

And everyone is keeping secrets from each other.

heh, heh, heh, heh.

Really, I don't believe there is anything that Dean wouldn't do to save Sam... I was surprised too but it's not like it's inconsistent with his character.

I'm just dreading Sam finding out. Mid-Season finale: Sam finds out, they'll fight. Feel hurt/betrayed. Get over it. Then bring it up every time one of them gets possessed.

Yeah, I think part of what I liked about this ep was that it still surprised me quite a bit. :-)
