lotesseOh my god, show, with the (explicit) gay. Dean is a little butch! Compensating for something! Seriously, the best sort of fanservice: acknowledgement and in-jokes, but still deliciously below the text.
Little girls are creepy. Granny Rose is v. Miss Havisham.
Oh, Sam. Baby. See, this makes up for the creepy badwrong some people were picking up from "Hunted". Makes it obvious that we were supposed to be at the low point, the descent in to darkness. Sam is broken, man. And he knows it, and Dean knows it. They might not know what to do about it, but they're aware. I don't think they're going to slide down into some sort of D/s thing, at any rate. They see what's going on.
Sam's emo is maybe just a little bit much--he's still reaally stuck on the whole "I'm an ebil killer oh noes" thing. But again, I think he sees that. The opening, trying to be functional, to be too healthy. He can't quite pull it off. Gets drunk, spills the whole thing, but he's trying. And he's pretty when he's broken. Emo porn, oh yeah baby.
I love the way that Sam's now-doubled quest is made explicit--there's the old revenge quest, but now also the need to save people, build up good guy cred. Of course, there's the dark side of this, the side we saw in "Croatoan," where Dean has to become a killer so that Sam can save the day. This state of affairs can't go on much longer--Sam is going to have to get those lovely large hands dirty. No matter how badly he needs to see himself as the savior, the world isn't going to let him posit Dean as his shadow for long. He's going to have to kill.
Drunk!Sam is the cutest thing ever oh my god. "You're short." and Dean tucking him in to bed, the double meaning of "take care of". Beautiful.
Dean calling the hotel-lady--what's her name anyway? I can't remember--"sister". Hello, Han Solo. good to see you.
I love that this episode takes place in the big old Gothic house. I'm trying to put something together with the house as the signifier of the mind and the subconsious in the gothic tradition. Rose and little Tyler fit in perfectly, but I think that Sam and Dean do as well. Sam's meltdown, the breaking of self-identification, the fear of destiny, of what Sam might be capable of.
Siblings again, Rose and Margaret. The hair colors map out right, even. And she kills her little sister, but they agree on it, but it's done out of love (and loneliness--placed against the breakup of the samndean).
Good episode, I think. Maybe a little ragged around the edges where the plot should be, but I feel like we're on the right track. I hope we're on the right track.
