SPN 4x09

I'm told that in liking this ep, I'm in the minority. Is that true? I'm afraid to read comments now in case I have my squee ruined. Feel free to point me to logical and safe posts. :)

Actually the ep took on board most of the things I'd imagined and was planning on possibly sticking into a fic, so yay! Kripke'd and terribly happy about it. :)

Did Sam change his T-shirt while talking to Dean? It looks like the same T-shirt, but the blood has disappeared. And Dean hasn't changed... Hmmm

Also, I do love that the angels aren't all "good" and, so it seems (though I'm still waiting for a surprise) the demons may not all be bad. It's certainly adding layers of intrigue to the show.

I really want to watch this ep again. Might do it before I watch the next episode. OMG! Talk about a "To Be Continued" of O_O !!

I quite enjoyed this ep. The flashbacks of Sam were good, especially with the interruption and Dean's "Now I feel dirty" line... I thought this was particularly effective because of the way the Sam/Ruby scene echoed the Sam/Madison scene in S2 ;)

I like that I don't actually agree with what the Castiel wants to do come the end of the episode... that said, I get the impression he doesn't want to do it, but knows he has to. It's your classic big picture-little picture problem.

I didn't want the ep to end there! I want the next episode now!

Misha Collins (Castiel) is, imo, rocking this show. Man knows how to steal a scene.

Yeah, I was pretty aware of that too. It's like sex is always this guilty moment of passion with Sam. Not that I'm complaining any. O_O *grin*

I just loved the whole ep. I knew eventually they'd give us some more insight into what happened and this was a really effective way to do it. :)

I do like Castiel. I totally buy him as an angel... somewhat alien to the body he's inhabiting. I think it's something in the way he moves and the very specific facial expressions. He's not the draw card for me though, just an added bonus! :)

Oh, don't get me wrong, Ackles is still the primary draw of SPN for me - I'm just saying Collins is putting up a good show. I've raided imdb and am finding a few of his guest appearences on CSI and the like ;)

Agreed. Collins is one heck of a believable angel. The unyielding stare is what gets me. Each episode he turns up, I find myself thinking, "Oh, goody gumdrops."
