It was indeed odd.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought so!

I'd like to believe that's what's going on, I really like that theory, actually.

[zubeneschamali]

Thank you! It beats the alternative. :(

[morganoconner]

There was a lot I didn't like about the episode besides that, but that was definitely one of the big things. Your theory would definitely beat the alternative that it was just bad writing and acting on everyone's part.

[zubeneschamali]

Oh, there was some bad writing and acting going on, too, don't get me wrong. But that can't be all there is to it...right?

It was VERY strange.

That vet talking to Sam made me very angry at her.

I hope you're right and something did mess with Sam's head because I'm pretty sure that vet will be the 'girlfriend' Sam ends up with and that seems so wrong. He can do better.

Or at least what happened to him/what he did better be a good believable story for Sam.

[zubeneschamali]

Wasn't the vet strange? That whole scene had such a stilted feel to it, especially her dialogue.

And yeah, there better be a believable story behind all of this. :(

Something is definitely hinky. I'm reminded of last season when some fans watched soulless!Sam and assumed that nothing was hinky -- that's just the way Sam really is. It took patience for TPTB to reveal what's behind the curtain.

I'm hoping/expecting similar illumination (rather than character assassination) this year too -- though I'm not looking forward to the negative energy that will radiate through fandom in the meantime.

(Which this post was not - don't get me wrong. WTF is a perfect reaction. I like reading posts that are open to the idea of a reasonable explanation forthcoming and speculating what that might be.)

Agreed on both counts. I think you're right with the comparison to soulless!Sam; maybe they're just trying to be more subtle this time around?

I think WTF is my reaction rather than ARGHHHH! because I've seen fandom overreact too many times when it turned out that there was a reasonable explanation for what was going on, and I'm willing to wait it out for now.

Also, I'm more baffled than anything else; there is no way that Sam would shrug and say, "Oh well," after Dean disappeared. Just...no way.

I think my reaction at the end of the episode was 50% "I didn't put vodka in my Dr Pepper again, did I?" and 50% "Uh, what happened to the rest of the story there, folks?"

That was probably the least cohesive, most disjointed and inebriated episode in the last few seasons, and that takes effort. I still can't figure out if they surgically removed Dean's personality or Jensen was just stoned out of his tree on cold medicine or something. Any scene Sam was supposed to show compassion and regret and Teh Feelz in, I saw a look of moderately painful indigestion instead. And if the vet/Amelia isn't a hallucination then I have no idea what to make of the whole mess.

Bah humbug.

Judging from some other reactions this morning, I seem to have watched a different episode from much of my friends list! I'm glad I'm not the only one who was disappointed by this ep. Reserving judgment for now, but still disappointed.
