Thank heavens for Edlund and Gamble, ... he should never write sex scenes ever again and leave it up to Humphries and Gamble I have to disagree on Ben Edlund - I think he's overall made many things worse. Good crack / humor episodes he can usually do; tight plotting he can either do well or badly (compare Nightshifter to Malleus) but going back to that... the absolute worst bitch/whore episode methinks was MM and that's all Edlund as far as I know. I'd take John Shiban back in an instant over Ben Edlund even though I think John Shiban had bigger plotholes. ^.^;; As for Sera Gamble, I don't like her sex scenes as much because of "Sam goes MANBEAST!" but I appreciate that she really does dig in to Sam like nobody else. Humprhies is actually my favorite sex-writer but if this season proved anything, it's that she can bring the disturbing / horror element to it like nobody's business. I may have to try to find the sides to Sex and Violence / Metamorphosis again because they're pretty cool and there is definitely a "style" to them (it's why I guessed she'd written S&V actually - same description of a sex scene).
You know the saying "fight fire with fire"? Sam ultimately being in control and actually using his powers to achieve something that he wants, something that's REALLY for the greater good and not just a facade is important to me, esp. after seeing how he's been completely manipulated and powerless all S4 I totally can agree with that. <3 Sam's helplessness / "screwup" at the end of the season nearly killed me just because it happened AGAIN and I was all "arghargh!!" because Sam just can't win darnit. I've mellowed a bit but Kripke better deliver Sam getting some self-esteem and genuine happiness soon.. otherwise I am fully expecting Sam to be suicidal at the beginning of next season. Possibly crazy. I kind of thought he'd lost his mind in 4.22 considering the way he was similing and saying "He's coming..." so eheh...
Add to that that I am -mildly- hopeful that there is more to Sam than just a sealbreaker considering his eyes did turn black and Ruby was all "It was always going to be you." I am hoping that's important because it's come up before from her but ehh... we'll see. Lucky for the spoiler hogs that sides tend to come out late June to mid-July even though they've actually gotten sneakier about casting sides.
