Wow, wow, wow. Now that's an episode, my friends.

Just one thing. Is there ANY way Henricksen could have gotten out of that explosion? I mean, I guess not, right? It just really seemed like they were setting him up to become a hunter, with his I've wasted my life thing, and he's such a great character. One of the most interesting recurring characters they've ever had, and I just...I don't want to see the end of him. How awesome would it be if he showed up later to help them out? What happened at the police station would be like Mary's and Jessica's deaths for the boys, the tragedy that sets his course. I'm just going to hope a soap opera hope that maybe, somehow, something. I don't know. I just don't want him to be dead!

Oh, also when the creepy little kid described the boys as the tall brother and the cute brother, I was all: Hey! Sammy's cute, too. Creepy little kid. *grumbles*

Okay. So. Wait. One last thing. Sam's stone cold sense of expedience is starting to freak me the hell out. He was voting to sacrifice the virgin, and I don't care if maybe there would have been fewer deaths that way as it turned out, that's a hell of thing for Sam to contemplate.

(I'm really glad Sam and Dean didn't end up in the super max.)

All right. Now I think I'm actually done. *g*

P.S. I lied. Tattoos!! I'd seen the picture of that a while ago, and, yeah, *loves*

Yeah, I agree with others about the possibility of Henrikson not being well & truly dead. I hope he's not, but there is a certain character-arc logic in it if he is. The whole "I wasted my life" speech could make him into a hunter, but it could also be some nice existential commentary making his demise all the more poetic.

"One of them's really tall, and the other one's really cute." Hee!!! I did laugh muchly. And yeah, they're both cute, but as much as I thought I'd be a SamGirl back when the show first premiered (having liked JP on Gilmore Girls), I am sooooooo very much a DeanGirl. I lapped up his joked like honey throughout this ep, even more than usual. Maybe because I know it's going to be 2 months before the next time!

Re: sacrificing a virgin. It was certainly interesting for Sam to take the side of "For the Greater Good" - and also for said virgin herself to agree. And Ruby's comments about "that's what you have to do in a war!" made sense of things as well.

If it weren't for the show going through pains to set up Sam's growing coldness, I'm not sure I'd agree with you that his contemplating that sacrifice was so bad in itself. I'm really not sure what I would do, in that situation. (Thank goodness I will never actually have to contemplate killing a virgin... I think... ;)

And let me just say OMG TATTOOS! Oh my god. I made some serious happy noises there.
