So, apparently they let me have my high speed connection back a couple of days early. I managed to beat utorrent into submission, went and got my hands on SPN 2X10 - Hunted. I have said this before and I'll say it again, Supernatural is not one of the best shows out there. However, it hits ALL my buttons in ways that make me go completely crazy over it more than anything else has been able to since, um, I can't even remember the last fandom that made me fall this hard.

Sammy finds out the secret (paraphrasing here), "If I can't save you, I'll have to kill you." This, of course is not much of a secret, it is something that the fans, and even Sam himself have had suspicions about since Dean and he encountered Max, got confirmation from the Demon (“plans for you, and all the children like you.”), and later meeting evil twin, but now he has confirmation from a source he cannot but accept as the truth – Papa Winchester.

Dean and Sam have a fight – this is interesting because it put all of Dean's actions since the end of IMTOD till now into perspective, give us an idea as to why he has been 2 seconds away from going off the rails. Papa Winchester (the closest thing to G*d) in Dean's life told him that the one single thing he holds above all else in his life (protecting Sam- keeping the family together) need to be put down. Oh, and let's not forget about the fact that John died to safe Dean's life, destroying the other pillar that holds up Dean's beliefs (killing the Demon above all else). To tell you the truth, I'm not sure how to feel about this, in many ways I have this urge to scream at John, but on the other hand what else was John meant to do? Let Dean not know of the dangers? That would have been worse, walking into a situation completely blind. Either way, I'm conflicted and will not be passing any judgment till further notice.

Sam leaving Dean to do his own thing – I don't think I have ever loved Sam so much. See, I have always had issues about Sam leaving Dean and John, ignoring what's out there to have a normal life, abandoning his family (but that's more my own opinions clouding the whole thing, I love my family and holds them above all else, the thought of abandoning them makes something inside me shrivel up and die. ) On the other hand I can see why Sam would want his own life, but I admit I've always held this against Sam just a bit. However, this episode just made me forget ALL of the hidden negative feelings I had toward Sam. I LOVE this Sam – smart, competent and so damn efficient, willing to face fate no matter what it has in store for him, because Sam needs to know, Sam is not willing to sit back and hide, and I LOVE him for it!

It is interesting how the show repeats a very simple message, when the brothers are apart – Sam does great; he can be an individual, create and develop relationships, and just live. Dean, well, Dean falls flat, hates being alone (“Well I don't want to,”), make very costly mistakes, and can't seem to function too well by himself. And this is fascinating, because I don't think Dean can't survive in a world by himself, it is just that he doesn't want to, well Sam can and would want to. It says a lots about the two of them, and really does explain quite a bit about why Sam left for college the way he did. The thing is though I'm beginning to wonder if John's suspicions about Sam ran back to before Sam left for college, because making Sam leave to protect him really does sounds like something John would do.

Like Ava – glad to see normality once more.

Slightly saddened that Jo is gone because I LIKE her! Though I'm very happy that she got off her arse and went off to do what she wanted to do – Hunter!

Gordon, Gordon, Gordon – I really like Gordon, everything he has done has been consistent with his character, and if you think about it from his point of view, what he's doing is -not- wrong. I know a lots of people was a bit thrown by the Hitler question, but seriously, it makes perfect sense. What if Sam does go evil? What if he's, um, the anti-Christ or something? Because I can't see Dean killing Sam, Dean was not willing to let Sam kill John to kill the Demon, Dean will not be able to kill Sam if the latter does go evil. And I don't think it is a question of having more morals or anything so high-minded, I really do think it is a case of Sam being Dean's brother, his family, and that makes all the difference in the world. I'm not passing judgement because both set of views are not wrong (it is personal), but it is just interesting.

Gagged and tied up Dean – um, am I suppose to make any intelligent comment because I honestly can't. OK, I lied, that face and sound he made when he thought Sam died. Oh, Dean.

The whole untying thing was OMFG! HAPPINESS! I just LOVE the Winchester brothers (and not just in the slash way, I really do just like them as brothers.)


Overall, enjoyable watch, nothing as great as Devil's Trap but still a good episode.

I'm really excited about the rest of the season!
