SPN 6:05: Live Free or Twihard

That sucked. No pun intended. I mean it really sucked. It's not even worth doing my usual blabbity-blah because it just sucked.

You may be thinking that I thought it sucked because we now know beyond any doubt that Sam not only doesn't care about Dean but will actively put him in harm's way, even to the point of being killed. Actually, it's even worse than that, he's willing to use Dean as some sort of...science experiment. He's a paranormal Dr. Mengele. Okay so, point taken: Dean means nothing to Sam except for however Sam can exploit him to satisfy whatever sick curiosity. Got it.

What sucks is that I know that none of this will matter. It will never receive a satisfactory explanation or resolution, Sam will be unjustifiably exonerated, Dean will apologize for... something, and Sera Gamble will give an interview talking about how cool it all is. THAT, my friends, is what sucks.

ETA: Oh, and what was that "maybe your brother has some Campbell in him after all" crap? Shut the fuck up, gramps. Where were you when the apocalypse was going down, big shot? Hiding out at your compound with the rest of your sociopath douchebag militia?

Would you have liked the episode better if you were not convinced they are going to hand-wave Sam's behavior away?

I don't know. They've really taken Sam past the point of no return this time and all prior experience suggests that they like hitting that point and then slapping some quick fix on it. It's like when they totally destroyed Dean in "Head of A Pin" and then promised that the next episode would give him a real "shot in the arm," which turned out to be a stupid, shallow speech from heaven's douchebaggiest angel. If this team had ever given me an evidence that they know how to clean up their messes, I might have liked the episode, but they haven't done so to date.
