Liked bartender Sam, but hated the hunters. They lacked substance or something. The girl didn't bother me as much. I take it you didn't like her much. *snert* The guys in normal jobs, doing normal things like the everyday simplicity of wiping down a bar (or a car) really appeals to me for whatever reason. So yeah, bartender!Sam pushed that button for me. But the hunters just didn't make sense to me. Their plan was to get Sam hopped up on demon blood and set him loose to wreak havoc? Did it not occur to them that they'd be the first bugs squished? *irritable headshake*
And, um, no, not so much with the Lindsay love. Because, I mean, who DOES that? Who badgers a stranger about his personal life, says a date is the "only way to avoid bloodshed," and generally acts like an entitled stalker who's only heard of flirtation by rough description?
*seethes*
I don't know about Dean. It was great seeing him having a good time. He's a pro at deflecting, but I think he truly was happy. Mostly. On a rewatch, I'mma have to agree with you. He took out a vamp, had a silly adventure with his angel buddy, and then the two of them caught a hurricane in a butterfly net and lived to quip about it. And Dean didn't need Sam at any point; he could do the job successfully and with relish totally independent of his family.
Which is all to the good. But his "Hell, I'm happy" was maybe protesting too much.
I had a problem connecting with either Sam or Jared tonight. Don't know what was up with that. I had the same problem. For me, at least, it was because Sam's storyline covered no new ground, while at the same time bending the motivations of everyone around him to highlight his Issues. And... angsty!Sam tends to fall flat for me, whereas angry!Sam I can buy. It's just that JPad's face gets kind of twitchy when he's trying to indicate strong emotion, and it just...
*flaily hands* I don't know! Of the two actors, I think JAckles is more adept at elevating crap material. JPad didn't have much to work with here, just a rehash of his apocalyptic guilt and Jessica guilt.
Actually, the bit of Sam's storyline I liked best was his body language when he was in bed with Jessica. Just tiny things that showed how unreserved and intimate they were, and how much he still loved her. Not so much the dialogue, but the physical stuff definitely.
Next week is gonna kick so much ass, Ducks. Let's party! WOOT!

... wigs me out. It's eyebrow acting. There's an actor on Days of our Lives who's made a science of eyebrow acting. Jared's is more of a twitch, but still. Not a good technique. Jared, you're so much better than that.
I did like it better after a few rewatches, but still not as good as the first two.
