My first supernatural meta S08E01 (SPOILERS up to s08e08)

Bored today I rewatched the first episode of season gr8 and I noticed few interesting things. I didn’t pay them any attention previously, but now after watching episode 8 something clicked.

The purgatory colors faded even more by episode seven. All that remained of colour was blue. Interesting.

Yeah, that's very interesting how creators play with visual aspect of these scenes. In Sam's flashbacks as well but in a different way - highlighting Sam's delusion and severance from the real world.

I've been thinking about the watcher *so much*. And how Sam's memory of the night he left *changed* from episode one to episode nine.

And it's all still so *off* and weird...i just don't know.

Dean loved purgatory's 'purity', but that kind of black and white just doesn't work in the real world, and i think Dean really hates having to deal with all the grey again.
*pets him*

The memory of his leaving changed or maybe it was not the same day at all. Maybe Sam firstly left to give her space & time and later he left second time to go find Dean. What bugs me also in 8.01 are some words about Amelia - There was a girl and there wasn't. So at the same time she was with him and not. She was torn apart.

Dean at the begining (s1&2) saw everything in black and white, his understanding changed gradually over time (see his history with vampires). Purgatory gave him once again the solace of the simple choice and a clear reminder - that the real world is so much more complex.

I love when characters evolve so much:>

I do, too! And these boys *have* evolved, and yet - they're still Sam and Dean.
:)

According to LJ reports from the writers/Carver (? can't remember), Sam didn't get any messages or anything, he just showed up at the cabin, and Dean was there. Which makes things *so much more* odd.

I just *do not know*! And i kind of love it. :)
