The way he was triggered by the hellhounds was extremely well done and a big part of what made all that followed so emotional for me.
Ah yes. This is a good point. I have to say I didn't make that connection - maybe seeing the hell hounds again really threw him and then to see Jo ripped apart like he had been... I have to say then, I wish Sam had had the same reaction - as in being as terrified. After all he's also witnessed what they can do. I would love to have seen him blast into them the way Jo did...
but it was sure of a piece with the long arc of female sacrifice in the show, and I no longer know what to make of it.
Yeah - it's getting more and more obvious. It's such a shame really because they could have really turned the tide on all that by keeping these 2, strong, female characters. It seemed to me like they were heading that way...giving them more "meat" as it were, but then they just had to go and destroy that. *head scratch* I wonder if we'll ever find out why they feel such a need to keep killing off major characters...? Especially out sassy women. Though Tamara's still around. I wonder if they'll re-introduce her?
it was very moving and yes, tear-jerking and emotionally manipulative, and I loved it.
Oh yes. I love a good cry and SPN often brings me to tears. This one possibly the most. I just adored Ellen and I think I was bawling more because I knew these characters were leaving us. But the acting was very believable and I thought, on the whole, those scenes were the most powerful in the episode.
I really didn't mind it. It was great to see them back to the myth arc. And now we've got the long, looooonnnnng wait unti the next one. *sigh*
