Supernatural Reviews - 6:06 'You Can't Handle the Truth'

[sammii]

First of all, thank GOD Lisa is still alive. I love her so so much and I would have been sooo angry if they'd killed another strong female character. Furiously angry. I was just sure when Dean couldn't reach her that she'd gotten killed by vampires or something, and I would have had to say some choice words. Now I love her and Dean together, but as long as she's alive, I can hold out hope that things will work out. And I still say they will.

Other comments.

I really liked this episode. I felt, plot wise, that it felt more like an old episode, a Monster of the Week sort. It did feel really, really weird to have Sam and Dean estranged, though. That's always been so much at the center that with them so far apart right now it feels like it's a different show. I hope they can get Sam's soul back soon so that he can get back to normal and we can have our brotherly bonding back. Good call on that, BTW, trystan830.

Bobby's confessions were totally hillarious. Pedicures!

One thing I totally DON'T get, though, is why Dean beat Sam half to death at the end. Why? Because he let him get turned? Because he's angry about what happened with Lisa? Because everything just built up inside him and he had to let out his rage? It just seems so totally unlike Dean to actually hurt Sam. I was reminded of the end of Swan Song, when Lucifer was pounding the crap out of Dean. It seemed like that same sort of hateful thing, and I really, really, really didn't like it. It upset me a little, actually. I hope they give us a really, really good explanation of why Dean snapped on Sam like that.

I also want to know what's wrong with Cas. Dean's right, he's acting so odd. And what does he mean 'he's at war'? Is he referring to the literal Civil War going on in heaven, or is Cas internally torn as well? Ah, well, some answers tonight, but many more questions.

Can't wait for next week!

This might be (and probably is) the hopeful Cas girl in me speaking, but this whole "Heaven at war but we're not going to tell you all about it" thing kind of feels like we're being set up for a spinoff. If this is really going to be the last season, which I'm hoping not, it would make a lot of sense to do...

Another random thing that occurred to me while I was laying in bed that made me slightly hopeful...and this could just be absolutely out in left field and ridiculous, but they did make a big point of that Horn being missing...Gabriel's horn. And I couldn't help but hope sooooo much...maybe...just maybe...Gabriel took it???

*wants him to be alive*
