>>"Hey, do not use my razor!" -Again, Jared is just hitting his line deliveries out of the park this episode. Also: who wants to bet that Dean totally used his razor?
Anyone who ever had a sibling.
>>Dean tries his best to eat it all - even though at this point it's already a day old, so unless he had it in a bucket of ice, I wouldn't touch it.
Have to disagree with you there a bit. It's ham. The whole point of them is that they don't go bad all that fast.
>> -Yay! I'm so happy the writers decided that their universe was only going to be "loosely" based on the bible. It brings so much more freedom and SANITY and better story-telling.
I saw this more as a handwave- as they were already about as faithful to the bible + other judeo-christian apocrypha as they were to any other source materials. Which wasn't very much. Plus, as I remember a few people pointing out when this episode aired, none of what they had just assumed/were talking about is actually in the bible at all. It's like... christian fanon.
>>-Jesse is really cool and all, but WHY is he so powerful? I mean, a single black-eyed demon can't destroy the host of heaven. A human is less powerful than a demon...SAM can't destroy the host of heaven...why can Jesse?
No arguments there. It was kind of a little random. Also, too easy. It makes you wonder why the demons weren't turning out a legion of cutest little anti-christs ever.
>>"Because I have to believe someone can make the right choice. Even if I couldn't." -Technically Sam, you weren't GIVEN a choice. You were tricked. Stop beating yourself up.
I think, in the Winchesters' brains, there's no de-tangling, say 'starting the apocalypse' and 'betraying my brother'(and in Dean's case, 'failing to be superhuman'). In their minds, they're associated, so there's no, "hey, you know, starting the apocalypse was something I did not expect to happen, so that was not something I can really beat myself up for. Completely unrelated to that, though, it was pretty awful of me to chose Ruby over you, and now I am remorseful. Sorry."
