Watching Supernatural

Dean: Hey Sam, I was wondering. When you were in my head, what did you see?
Sam: Uh, just Jeremy. He kept me separated from you… What about you? You never said.
Dean: Nothing. I was looking for you the whole time.

Along with “Fresh Blood,” “Dream A Little Dream of Me” might be one of the best episodes of Supernatural to date, let alone this season. Besides offering us a great look at Bobby Singer’s background and how he became a hunter, we also learned more about what Dean felt about himself and his brother. While I objected to the clumsy dialogue of the scene between Dean and himself, it gave us the first look at his vulnerability this season.

Trickster: Sam. There’s a lesson here that I’ve been trying to drill into that freakish, Cro-Magnon skull of yours.
Sam: Lesson? What lesson?
Trickster: This obsession to save Dean, the way you two keep sacrificing yourselves for each other? Nothing good comes out of it. Just blood, and pain.

This week’s episode was certainly something to savor. Not only was it the first time this season that we’ve been treated to two excellent episodes in row, but it was an amazing look at the future of the season and its two main characters.

First of all, major kudos to the writer of this episode, Jeremy Carver, and the director Philip Sgriccia. You might recall their names from episode 3×04 “Sin City” and episode 3×08 “A Very Supernatural Christmas.” I think it’s safe to say that any episode Carver writes might be a little short on the suspense but will be chockfull of hints for upcoming episodes.

Sam: Look, Dean, you’re leaving, right? And I’ve gotta stay here in this crap hole of a world… alone. So, the way I see it, if I’m gonna make it, if I’m gonna fight this war after you’re gone, then I’ve gotta change.
Dean: Change into what?
Sam: Into you. I’ve gotta be more like you.

Like Sin City, this episode felt like a ‘monster of the week’ episode, as well as a little hint of what Dean would have to face when in hell. I found myself disappointed in the acting this week, though Edlund’s script was stellar as usual. The introduction of witches in this world of Sam and Dean Winchester was brilliant, because I’ve always wondered where they fit in the entire scheme of things.

Yet, it it was the final moments of the episode, the revelation that Ruby was once a witch, that really piqued my interest. If Dean is now in the thrall of demon (who can apparently stop bullets, Matrix-style), will he really someday become a demon?

Young Dean: Where’d you get that? That’s Dad’s! He’s gonna kick your ass for reading that!
Young Sam: Are monsters real?

After the brilliancy of episode 3×08, “Fresh Blood,” I certainly wasn’t expecting something on par to it this week. We certainly didn’t get the same intensity, but this episode was both fun and gory, filler and storyline-tying. Rather than reciting all of 1970s-television references that were apparently rampant throughout, I’d prefer to discuss the greater meanings of this episode for the main storyarc, which is Dean’s impending death.

Dean: What do you want me to do, Sam, huh? Sit around all day writing sad poems about how I’m going to die? You know what, I’ve got one. Let’s see, what rhymes with “Shut up, Sam”?

This episode, for all its gore and dark storylines, is definitely one of the top five episodes of the series so far. It is also the best episode of the third season thus far, hands-down. I’ve been watching other professional reviews for this episode as well as fan opinions, and it’s really shocking just how many people enjoyed it.

The reasons for the such universal enjoyment are two-fold: (more…)

Dean: I mean, I’m not blind. I see what you’re going through with this whole deal. Me going away and all that. But you’re going to be okay.
Sam: You think so?
