SpN: 8X17

This was quite an ep--very fast paced and shocking, sprinkled with bits of brotherly goodness and some real H/C without the C. I like where this is going very much. I wish we'd started off the season this way--it makes more sense to me in terms of the show. I still don't understand what the point of that Sam/Amelia thing was--we always knew that Sam wanted normal, no matter what he said aloud. I think like Sam does, they've given their all and deserve some rest, let the next generation carry it (could be a storyline?). Even soldiers retire. (mind you not that i want that because if it happened i'd be clutching a bowl of popcorn and staring at a blank screen.)

As for normal lives and how they're not possible--bullshit. You can get out of the life, they've shown us it's a possibility. Sam lived safe for a year, that happened. And Dean, even though he wanted to bitch about Sam ignoring hunting, he lived safe for a year himself. *Sam* was the one who pulled him out of that life. Sure, it was souless Sam but he did bring an end to Dean's normal. Plus, I think deep, deep down, contrary to Sam's belief, Dean really doesn't want that kind of normal. He always seemed more resigned to the life he had with Lisa instead of content. I'm sure there were many, many parts of that life that he liked, a lot, but deep down, he's not a picket fence, BBQs in the backyard kind of guy. I don't think Dean could relax enough to enjoy the life all the way. Just my opinion.

Anyhoo, good ep. *Excellent* ep.
