You gave it a shot?

So, tonight episode... I'm not really happy with it. There were quite some things I liked, but there were also things I didn't like at all.

Things I liked

• Sam having to use his powers because he really didn't have another choice. And his having to tap into them so deep just showed how powerful "Samhain" really was. Did Sam's eyes turn black or am I imagining things? Well, maybe it was just the lightning. But either way, Sam looked scary. Again.
  
• Dean watching Sam use his powers. It scared the crap out of him but I think he realised that it was the only choice.
  
• That boy in the astronauts costume asking them for sweets in the motel's parking lot in bright daylight. And he's so going to pay for messing with Metallicar if Dean ever meets him again.
  
• They mentioned that it was the anniversary of Mary's and Jess's death. I was just thinking about that yesterday.
  
• The idea of angels not really caring about humans and being willing to destroy a whole city to stop the apocalypse. That's totally the direction I want the show to go: Sam and Dean fighting for human kind against evil and "good". And I wouldn't mind Castiel to join them. He did say he has doubts.
  
• Sam being disappointed in angels and somewhat losing his faith. And Dean's little speech about how some bad apples don't mean the whole barrel is wrotten. He really wants Sam to be able to keep his faith in a greater good. I'm just afraid that's a bit hard if that greater good threatens to kill you.
  
• Dean making clear that he will continue saving people no matter what. And that so many people are still alive because of Sam and him. You go, Dean!

Things I didn't like that much

• You know, I don't mind the using pagan gods and witches etc. as MotW. I just have the feeling that the anti-pagan vibe is slowly getting out of hand a little. But I might just be a little sensitive when it comes to one of my two favourite annual holidays.
  And the totally mispronounced "Samhain".
  
• The whole "It was a test" thing? Come on, it'd been so much more interesting without that. Plus, god's telling his angels to just do whatever Dean decides? Seriously? I don't want Dean to be important because god chose him. I want him to continue doing what he does simply because he thinks it's the right thing to do. And where is that supposed to lead? Dean leading an army of angels against Sam's army of demons?
  
• Uriel. One, I didn't like him. Two... I'm really fine with Castiel, even though I still don't trust him. But I feel he should be the only angel we get to see on the show. Having angels is dangerous for a show like that as it is and I'm really glad Misha can pull it off. But having two angels discussing fate and their mission or whatever... that's just ridiculous in a show that usually has this realistic feeling to it. It's okay that they're in the mythology. I just prefer them to stay away from the actual episodes.
  Good thing about Uriel? Compared to him I suddenly like Castiel a lot more.

LOL, Sam was really badass this time. Even I'm ready to admit that. That scene with him using his powers and Dean watching... gee, I held my breath!
Astronaut boy ftw! XDDD
Castiel was damn cute! Uriel needs to go back to where he came from and not stick his head out of there again))))) We're fine with our angel # 1 here. XDDD

You're saying that Sam was badass? That's saying something. ;)

And yes, there's only one part for an angel on the show. And that one's already taken by Castiel.

Hehe, yes, I'm admitting he was cool. XDDDD The world may come crashing down now)))

I love episodes with dark Sammy. When he uses his power or has his visions (i hope the visions will came back) i´m always very happy. :)

That's the part of the episode I loved, too. I can't wait to see where Sam's "playing with fire" is going.
