6.01 Review

[adrenalineshots]

Starting a new thing this season of Supernatural, to go along with the fresh look and start of season 6 of the show. After each episode, I’ll post a couple of reactions, afterthoughts and predictions for the future of the season.
So, starting at the beginning, EPISODE ONE: EXILE ON MAIN STREET

This episode left me with a feeling of fresh mint in

Lovely insightful review , Natty!
You picked up and articulated many of the things I did, but a few more too. I especially loved your observations about Dean being Sam's heart (and maybe the heart of the Campbell's hunting group too) - and share your concerns about Sam and Samuel.
I've seen quite a few people strongly critising Bobby's actions even more than Sam's in keeping Sam's return quiet, so I am happy to read someone who thinks Bobby's stance was done from love. I do too - and I do understand how he would have thought this way.

Thank you! I was avoiding reading other people's review before writting mine, so that it wouldn't cloud the afterglow of watching this episode as it has so often happened in the past, but now I'm very curious to see what others thought of it :)

I did that too! I have seen one very negative one so far, but largely they have been positive.

I thought this episode was a good start off for the season and was not disappointed by it. I totally agree that Dean is Sam's heart and just as Dean said back in season 5 they both keep each other human. I also share your thoughts on grandpa Samuel who seemed way off to me. Do you guys really think there was a reason for God to bring him back, or was Samuel not actually telling the truth?

At the moment, I am thinking we only have Samuale's word for it that he has come from upstairs rather than downstairs, don't we....Though I would hope that Sam would have enough nowse to have carried out all the demon tests on the man before taking his word for being Grandad...

True, what you say makes lots of sense and so far Samuel and the rest of campbells don't look very trustworthy. Let's hope Sam has learned from past experience and isn't blindly trusting his grandad.

Glad you thought it made sense in spite of the massive Samuel typo!!! :D
