Supernatural: 7x17: The Born Again Identity

[certainthings]

I really and I mean really like Sam Winchester.

Another thing I liked about this episode was that Meg called him Castiel. At least a few times.

Dean wasn't hard enough on Castiel. Hell, he wasn't hard on Castiel at all. Castiel was more hard on himself and that bothered me a lot.

I'm glad that Castiel apologized to Sam. I'm glad that he's now feeling Sam's pain. Well, I hope he's feeling Sam's pain.

But. I will always hate Castiel and any pain he's feeling now is not nearly enough for my liking.

The trenchcoat scene was hilarious. Okay, the after part was. Like, why would you put on a mouldy (I'm assuming it's mouldy) and bloody and probably foul smelling jacket?

Uhm. I don't have the FUCK YOU RAGE that I was expecting to have and I'm glad for that. But. I have a feeling it's still coming.

I'm not anti-Meg but something happened to Rachel Miner's face. It was really round and puffy and it kept distracting me. She still looked skinny as a rail but her face was so freakin puffy.

THANK GOD, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THIS. From my own review: is it just me or did Rachel Miner get really chubby in her face since she was on the show last? Her body didn't look any different but her face was, wow, so noticeably ROUND. So much so, it distracted me for the majority of the time she was on the screen.

I love that he helped someone in the hospital even when he was completely losing his shit.

Heh, also something I commented on in my review: Hell, Sam's so bad-ass, even when he's certifiably insane, he still manages to bust a ghost and save a life. I don't see Dean saving lives while he's drunk. Unless it's because he chooses not to drive ...

Did he just pull out the bad shit that was poisoning Sam's brain?

I think - and who knows if I'm anywhere near right, what with the cracked out logic of this writing staff - he just pulled the damage done to Sam's mind created by the wall by removing it from Sam's head. Somehow, he knew how to find the source and yanked it out from the root, angel-lobotomy style. No matter how he did it, it's a bit bullshit that's how they finally dealt with Sam's broken brain. One ep to really get into the pain and agony he's been suffering since the beginning of the season then, poof!, magically removed by magical angel ... magic.
