superbadgirlHmm.
Oh, boys. I found it a tad heartbreaking that their daily lives, spoken out loud with complete matter-of-factness, is certifiably insane enough to land them in the hospital. Maybe it was the way they played it, so subdued. They weren't trying to be crazy at all, and that's crazy.
Ah, another old hunter they knew back in the day. You know, that day when they really didn't have a huge circle of hunting friends and didn't seem to know about the hunting community at large? ;)
There were a couple of moments I could have done without. The pudding bit was really uncomfortable and dumb, as was Sam expertly sawing the top of that poor dead patient's cranium off. I mean, come on. While I know it was all for the sake of misdirection, Wendy kissing both boys was ridiculous, too. I got an instant vibe from the real culprit and was just waiting for her to be revealed.
I find it interesting that Dean went crazy under the influence of the wraith, but Sam didn't. Sam went mad. I don't think we really learned anything new, per se, about either of their psyches. We know Dean has father issues. We know Sam has rage issues not wholly blamed on demon blood. We've seen these things over and over.
It was nice to see them working together, mostly.
Oh, the end. I so wanted more there. I wanted Dean to actually acknowledge what Sam was not saying out loud, and instead he gave the stock answer. I don't think Dean doesn't know what Sam's saying; I think he doesn't know what to do with it. I'm pretty sure Sam's saying, by not saying, that he doesn't think he can bury the anger and work past it. No, he doesn't want to say yes to Lucifer, but I think he still thinks it is a very real possibility anyway based on what's rolling through him all the time. If I were Dean, that would scare the piss out of me, which is why I'm a bit saddened he can't find a way to show to Sam that he gets is, even on a tiny level. That might go a long way for Sam, where a "suck it up, buttercup" will do nothing at all to ease his mind, or help him overcome the anger he doesn't even understand himself.
