OK, I've finally collected my thoughts. First off, favourite lines (besides the ones I put above):
When Dean's with the "doublemint twins" and Bobby asks Sam where Dean is, and he replies "Polling the electorate."
Then after Sam walks in on Dean with the twins:
Sam: "Let me see your knife."
Dean: "What for?"
Sam: "So I can gouge my eyes out."
Dean eating cheeseburgers for breakfast: "Sold my soul, got a year to live, I ain't sweating the cholesterol."
When Dean knocks on the farmhouse door: "Candygram!"
And after Isaac knocks him over on the porch of the house and Bobby and he start chatting while Dean's still laying injured on the floor, and Dean raised his hand up between them and said, "Hello? Bleeding here."
Dean hitting on the sales clerk and telling Sam he's "comforting the bereaved." Then his pretend coughing and saying he doesn't have much time, guilting Sam, who of course complies with an apology- then Dean's instant recovery and big smile. "Apology accepted."
No quote, but I loved when Sam startles Bobby and Dean while they're staking out the bar in their car, and when they jump he starts laughing. They need to let Sam be fun once in a while, methinks!
Dean discussing the chick hunter who saved the day for Sam: "Who was that masked girl? A more troubling question is how come a girl could fight better than you?"
And near the end, when Dean says his life is better than it's been in a long time, and he can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, to which Sam replies, "That's hellfire, Dean." And at the very end when Sam says "You're unbelievable", followed by the winning Dean smile and " Very true." Good ending.
OK, as for the episode itself...
- the demons themselves weren't that impressive, although the concept of the seven deadly sins was pretty cool. But like someone said earlier, they really needed to jump right back into demons after the way the finale played out. So overall I guess they weren't that bad. Could have been scarier, but oh well. I did think the guy who played Envy did a really good job, as did the dude playing Pride. Also, it was a nice touch having the guy who becomes possessed by Envy eyeing that Porsche in his neighbour's driveway at the very beginning of the episode.
- the intro with Dean and the twins- classic! :lol:
- I thought that Sam and Dean gave each other some interesting side glances after Sam says, "Careful what you wish for." Obviously that line has a bit more meaning to those two.
- I like that, while Dean has this new 'don't care' attitude, he still gets the job done. Although, combined with his new attitude comes this new crazy risk taking on the job, which can't bode well...
- Learning about some new weapons is cool- the special wood that's toxic to demons, and the crazy hunter chick's blade. Although I think it would be cool if they got some Super Soakers for their holy water! :lol: That might be a little too "Reaper" though.
- Bobby basically rocks in general- LOVED him in the suit! AWESOME! I also loved when he tore a strip off Tamara when she wanted to go off all half-cocked to get the demons. Go Bobby! And lastly, I loved when he pretended to ba all scared when he lured the fat demon under the devil's trap. And the Oscar goes to...
- I hadn't considered that everyone might be blaming Sam and Dean for releasing all the demons, so that's another cool angle for the season.
- When they crashed through the bar doors with the car, I felt a huge amount of relief when I realized it wasn't the Impala! I mean, DAMN, that poor car's been through enough already!
:lol:
- Another interesting look between the brothers while they're waiting/preparing for the rest of the demons to come. They looked resigned, like they thought they could really being finished off there. It was sort of trippy.
- There's still the ominous end of the episode/start to the season when Sam asks Bobby, "we can win this war, can't we?" And Bobby doesn't answer. Uh oh.
- Sam finally snaps at Dean for playing up this 'last year to live' stuff, and Dean tells him the deal can't be broken. I'm glad they didn't drag that out like it was a secret or something. But you know it's not going to stop Sam in the long run. After all, it runs in the family: John sacrificed himself for Dean, Dean sacrificed himself for Sam, and I'm sure there's no question it could come full circle- Sam would definitely sacrifice himself for Dean. So in the end, I don't think Dean's admission that the deal can't be reneged on will stop Sam from trying. He'll value his brother's life more than his own, regardless.
OK, whoo... that was longwinded, I know. Don't worry, I won't be doing that for every episode. But this one was special.
