Supernatural 2.10 - Hunted

1. Poor dude. Killed in the first 5 minutes? He never got to meet Jensen and Jared.
2. CONTINUATION OF SCENE.
3. THE SECRET. "I have to save you. If I couldn't, I'd have to kill you." Which I already guessed and knew.
4. Sam getting pissed. Dean getting pissed. Dean begging Sam. Dean touching Sam. I think my brain just melted.
5. Running away? Stealing a car? Breaking in? That's it. SAM IS EVIL. Or stupid.
6. ZOMG!! Sam JUST EXPLODED!! INTO TINY BITS OF... SAMMY.
7. Ooh Ellen! Ooh no Jo! Ooh Ash!
8. I love Ash for drinking Sam's leftover beer.
9. I love Ellen for calling Dean. "Well I say screw that, what else is family for."
10. "You know what, screw you. I'm supposed to be at home addressing invitations, but instead I drove out here to save your weirdo ass." I like this girl.
11. *spies Sam outside the window* "Holy crap!" And uh, by the way, is Jared's hand still injured?
12. "I'm awesome!" Okay, I really like this girl.
13. "Sam, you sly dog."
14. CODEWORD: FUNKY TOWN. ROFL.
15. Watching Dean worrying for Sam, it hurts.
16. Dean so caught Sam surfing internet porn.
17. Sammy=Hitler???
18. Ooh, comparing Dean to John?
19. SAM! DON'T GO IN THERE!
20. Dean thinking Sam was gone. That just hurts so bad.
21. *jumps up and checks up on Sammy* "Son of a bitch!" *squeeflails*
22. See? Sammy being a fine outstanding citizen. Not evil.
23. "Bitch." "Jerk." = I love you long time.
24. So this means Ava will be back?

Wow. I wasn't expecting Kripke to drop the secret on us in the (kinda) start of the episode, and with a continuation of the last episode. I thought that would be rather anti-climax and a very lousy method of storytelling. But it turned out to be an amazing scene. I still think there's still several other more interesting ways to tell that story, but Kripke might have made the right call by going in this direction, given that most fans have already guessed the secret, and there had been so many hints along the way. Dragging it out further is rather unnecessary. Plus, Jared and Jensen totally owned that scene.

The brother-loving in the episode? SO AWESOME.

And I like Ava. I like that she speaks her mind, is all nervous and jumpy at the doctor's, and then is all excited about doing badass stuff with Sam. And she wants Sam to call. And the fact that she isn't simply neglected at the end of the episode means she's coming back, right? My first thought was that she was possessed by a demon, either before or after she left Sam. But then if she was one of the special children, she would most likely to be special, ergo, probably immune to such possessions. But there was sulfur, indicating a demonic presence, so in conclusion, Ava was taken by some demon. Right?

Comparing Sam to Hitler. Is it really gonna be that bad? Sammy doesn't have a single bad bone inside of him. He didn't shoot that Tanner kid back in last episode, he didn't shoot Gordon even though he tried to blow him up. I'm actually very excited for what's coming next. I know it's gonna be so good. Just because it's Kripke, Ackles and Padalecki.

And uh. If Gordon has someone else in the roadhouse, doesn't that mean someone else may be after Sam? But that would be repetitive storyline. No then.

Remember in 'Wendigo', Dean was so insistent on "the family business". Yet now he just wants to dump everything. To protect Sam? Or maybe he's genuinely tired? Maybe both? Note the complete exchanging of roles between the two of them. Sam was the one who wanted normal, who doesn't want to hunt. Now it's Dean seeking some form of normalcy. I kinda want them to take a break, enjoy themselves, do something brotherly, be normal, but then we'll have no show to watch. Bah.

Another thing I noted was what Gordon said, about the difference between Dean and John. Truth is, John cares about his family as much as Dean. He just doesn't show it quite as obviously. His obsession with killing the demon, it's not be just for revenge. We know John knew about Sam turning, so it's far more likely he wants to kill the demon to prevent the war, to prevent Sam turning, to prevent Dean or himself having to kill Sam. When he asks Sam to shoot him back in 'Devil's Trap', he was ultimately saving Sam's life. He did it for his boys. And as we all know, he sacrificed his life for Dean. I didn't like him back in Season 1, thought he didn't care about his sons, but now I know better. *salutes* Now I just want him back.

AND DEAN AND SAM NEED TO HUG. NOW. (Or maybe in the very end, when everything is over and everyone is okay. That would be so poignant. Figure since Kripke made us wait so long for it, it has to be super ultra special. Okay. Don't kill me. *hides*)
