My biggest problem with this episode is that they let Lucky go. He killed at least two people (or was it three?) and he just walks away to look for a new family. (presumably to start ruining their lives by killing people around them.) Just because he's a dog part of the time?
(He was a beautiful dog though. I remember wondering at the time why all these scuzzy looking men turned into beautiful dogs. It didn't seem reasonable.)
So...Dean let Lucky go, because he felt sympathetic. But there are a lot of parallels between Amy this season and Lucky back then, and it does throw off Dean's actions in killing Amy. I guess at this point they hadn't seen that good vamp Lenore killed again, but it seemed like Lucky didn't feel as remorseful about his actions as Lenore did anyway. I had no doubt that he'd find a new family and kill to keep them. Sam should have shot him, even if he did it against Dean's wishes. (And I think soulless!Sam would have.) Don't the writers remember their own show?
