Saw "Shadow. "OMG. This was a great ep. I get the feeling that Dean never grew right or grew up (due to the pressures of his childhood he never got any childhood) so all he wants is all the family together. So much of him is tied in with that. It's like a little kid who needs a family safety blanket around him. I must admit Sam's attitude is much healthier. Sam sees that family or not, when you grow up you can go your way and do your own thing. He, unlike Dean, has his own identity and self worth. That scene where Dean tells Sam about his family desire, he just comes across as broken and naked emotionally.


I loved the boys' reunion with their father (though John? Still not a favorite). Very Bollywood. Love Dean (who looks like a little kid) and Dad hugging but Sam looking unsure of his welcome. But then of course they hug later too. And whoever has the 'yes sir' icon, you are right. It's hot. In another universe from hot is Sam getting molested by Meg. Ugh.

And then of course, at the end, Dean is the one who has to break the family up because he is more good at following orders, despite what it would do to his psyche, and Sam is the one who cries. Everything is so OMG in this ep. And the grime and the blood and the angst.

"Hell House" was rather lightweight, but I loved the geeky website owners with their "What would Buffy do?" and "This is our ticket to fame. Money. Sex. With girls" and "Sweet Lord of the Rings." Heeee. Also notorious for that wonderful shot of Sam's abs. In between being a great student and making Jess happy, the boy must have spent three hours a day in the gym. It is interesting, though, Sam's thoughts that some of the things they fight exist only because people believe in them. And the look on Dean's face as a result.
