I loved your analysis of this episode. I also love Mark Sheppard's portrayal of Crowley but I think he has his own agenda too. I hope that Sam doesn't try to execute his plan regarding Lucifer and I am also fearful for Bobby. I hope they don't end up killing him off.

I liked this episode, but I didn't love it. In this lackluster season, it was incredible. In, say, season 4, it would have been just "OK ( ... )

In general I like your analysis of an episode as it tends to be very well balanced. In this case, you mirrored some of the views of others I've read with how you interpreted a few things. I hope you'll forgive if I offer a few words of disagreement ( ... )

Hey--I forgot to read it when you posted it! Now that I'm getting ready for the finale, I'm going to read your two reviews in a row.

his fear of Lucifer destroying demons after nuking humanity - made logical sense to Dean, while Ruby’s interest in Sam and professed memories of being human never did.

Yes, that's where I feel Crowley and Ruby are really different. Ruby's motives were always really nebulous and not really believable. Crowley's seem to be pretty straighforward - at least for the time being. And I don't thin Dean ever really trusted Crowley.

I'll be happy to enjoy Crowley as long as we'll have him. :)

One thing I did love in this story was the whole concept that it’s not the crossroad demons’ ability to grant the wishes for which people sell their souls, but the power of the soul that fuels the ability to grant the wish.

Oh, yes, that's an interesting point. I've always liked that demons, as powerful as they are, seem to be bound in ways humans are not - it balances things somehow!

Thanks for the review!

Great as always! sophie_deangirl May 13 2010, 21:08:58 UTC

I LOVE reading your "seminars". They are SO detailed! I realize how much I missed when I read yours, conversely, I am always tickled when we agree on things ( ... )
