So, just watched 8.01 for the 2nd time around, & posting a few thoughts
- Was kind of disappointed that there was no "wow" moment, for all that it was a really solid episode.
+ Love me some Benny!
Thoughts on Benny -
*"a lot has changed in 50 years" - so Benny went to Purgatory around 1960
*vampire - so, when was Benny actually born?
*cajan, the homestead said "La Faette"(?)
*How exactly did Benny know where he was burred after he was killed (assuming that was his skeleton Dean dug up)
*(added) Just why was Benny hanging out in that cemetery?
- Seriously hating Sam's vet. The whole scene when she was bullying this stranger who brought in a stray dog that he had hit into taking the dog. What is she basing her opinion that this will be a good dog owner on? He even tries to tell her that he is on the road a lot - he is very much not presenting himself as good owner material. Hate this scene, hate the vet based on this scene.
? (added) who was outside the vets house when Sam takes off in the night?
? How exactly did Sam know to show up at that cabin? He specifically said that he didn't get any of Dean's messages. Was it just random chance?
- Sam saying that this was the first time he was alone. Wasn't he alone when he went off to college?
+ I actually don't have a problem with Sam going off to live his life. That is what they said the would do, and that is what Dean did when Sam went to hell, after all.
+ Love me some Kevin! Leaving Crowley standing in a field with goats... priceless!
