SpN 8X12

I'm on the fence about this ep. There were things I loved, and things I was uhm, what? about. I will watch again, I was a little distracted last night. Mostly, what I took away from the ep was, I'm so very sorry for Sam and the life that could have been his. I was surprised at how much I wished he could have had that. And how very, very much I want those stories--so effing much!

What did you guys think of the ep?

I liked it a lot. It felt very much like good old-fashioned Supernatural, in a way that most of this season hasn't, to me. And having that continuity with the past, with the idea that there could be people thinking about this hunting stuff more systematically, recording it and so forth - it felt like a possible way for Sam to re-engage with hunting in a way he might find more satisfying. I think there's still a lot of grief for the life he didn't choose, but I also feel like for once he made a choice, and there wasn't a gun to his head, he just chose duty and what he believes is morally right over the thing that might have made him happy.
