oh, man

I really liked this episode, but man, it made my heart hurt :( I don't want Sam being John. But Dean's right, Sam really is so much the same type of person John was. Which isn't bad, as such, I don't mean that. But all the...non-hunterness is slowly bleeding out of Sam. Even in the Criss Angel ep, when he talked about not wanting to be old and still be hunting, wanting to 'retire' from it...I dunno. I guess maybe part of him wants to, but part of him, for that part of him, it will never be over.

And Dean...I have a feeling he would walk away right now and never hunt again, if he had the choice.

More later (possibly), when I'm not half-asleep.

This episode hurt, and yet I'm so glad it was so rich, so good...I was nervous about the concept. But damn, it really brought out some of our boys' issues..."Are you jealous?" "Are you?" All these different lives, held next to each other, breaking into millions of pieces of possibility...And some just broken...

I still believe Sam wants out, but only if Dean comes with him. If they can only make it there in one piece...

Sweetie,

I can't believe how much this episode hurt my heart, for all three boys. Adam, for never having had the chance to know his brothers. Sam for slowly losing every last bit of innocence and hope that he still had. And for Dean, who just had the props knocked right out from underneath him.

No matter what, he was always sure that his dad loved them, that he did the best for them he could. Now he finds out that John had this whole other, semi-white picket, normal life with this whole other family. I am so pissed on Sam and Dean's behalf right now!

This was a hard one to watch for a myriad of reasons. I totally thought the same thing about Sam. I'm really hating him lose the non-hunterness out of him.

And all Dean wants to do is protect his brother(s). I'm sorry that they never will get to know Adam, but what would it have done to the show to have a third. Guh. I'll watch again later.

This episode broke me. But, for once, I felt good about it. I haven't felt good about show hurting me in a while. I've been loving every week, don't get me wrong, but loving it DESPITE the angst, not partly because of it.

I have not even seen this ep, but. DUDE.

John did WHAT?

And we thought fandom thought he was a bad father BEFORE.
