I nearly clapped my hands with glee....
I nearly clapped my hands with glee when Sam and Dean were walking down the road, looking so much like soldiers in a war zone. Plus the togetherness, the team-work, of this sequence - woohoo! And then the final moments of episode - oh, oh, oh!
So, Sam's story arc got us here, and...I'm a Dean!girl, 'n' all, but would love to see Sam's next little while ON-SCREEN KRIPKE! (*I'm spoiler free for all future eps and promos*) Would like to see his struggle to recover, survive, fight his apparent addiction! (And give JP a few meaty acting moments; drunk or detoxing Sam was compelling. His work conveying Sam's emotions of horror with Death/Horseman and heartbreak /lost moments with Dean before standing up was good, very good. See him trail his fingers across the Impala? Gulp!)
The photography of ep. was beautiful. Love the wide shots, and esp. that low angle up to the Impala on the broken bridge. The extreme wide shots always tickle my outsider POV. I like to see them in context sometimes, and the constant mid two shots with alternating focus sometimes drives me crazy. Let me choose where to look!!! The lighting was so bright - must be summer over there, aye? A beautiful exterior environment, while the characters' interior world's were imploding!
Dean, chose to leave Sam out there with the Demons! Did he think he was dead, or changed sides, or what the hell? DEAN put "helping others" before his BROTHER!!! Dean practised letting Sam go progressively this ep, until, until.....Sam felt it too, was so on edge.
That relentless, but scrappy, fight between Dean and Rufus really conveyed the desperation from both combatants; it truly felt life and death. Nifty direction, and the way the frames moved (is there a correct term for this?) I kinda thought Rufus was retired? "I'm what you've got to look forward too", etc. Maybe just my mis-interpretation.
Welcome back Ellen and Jo, but why didn't she hug Sam too? (and / or hit him, lol!) Put her on speed-dial Dean, wanna see more of Ellen. "We all on the same page?"
Think I'm still in shock.
This was a bloody, brilliant episode. From story-telling to the craftsmanship, it rocked!
Just wow. (Kinda, nearly teared up there at the end, ... nearly.....) Shuttup!
