I did not get a chance to post my thoughts about the latest episode until today. Basically, I mostly agree with my flist's reviews so I won't go long-winded on this one.
I'm partial to Wicca, which is why the word Samhain is very familiar to me. From what I know, Samhain is a Wiccan's version of New Year, not a demon. No idea on views from different religions. I won't dwell much into this because Supernatural is a fictional show.
Anyway.
How hot was SammySam in this episode, people? I love his fangirly fumbling around Castiel, Castiel's almost-human-like doubts, Badass Sam, Sam's hair, ASTRONAUT!!!!!!, Dean's ephiphanous moment, Sam's bleeding nose (LOL) and Sam in general. I especially love him when he was all 'yeah, the demon ray gun thing? doesn't work on me'. I watched that part over and over!
