I've been reading your reviews for a while, and I'm now commenting for the first time with my new shining account (also, you have probably noticed that I took some of your icons; I hope it's okay). Your reviews are among the only one that I always enjoy, even when I don't agree.
am talking about fact that this finale ended on a moment of grace between the brothers and that the first spark of hope, forgiveness and salvation for their relationship, was bestowed upon us after an agonising year of watching them falling apart!
Actually, I thought it might end that way. But everyone was so pessimistic that I didn't dare to really believe it. Thank you, Eric Kripke, for proving me right!
I can already tell that it will probably not be possible to pull the story together without dismissing parts of it as invalid.
I don't know. I have been giving a lot of thoughts to the mytharc, when I should have been doing other things (like sleeping...), and I thought it was mostly consistent, surprisingly. But I agree that it is a whole separate meta.
So, I think Ruby's little smile when she listens to Sam was more about seeing Sam's obvious distress over that phone call.
I have seen the two theories, and didn't know what to think, but I am finally going with yours. The ability to fake voices is indeed more consistent with what we know about angel's powers.
The second theory is that the blood didn’t affect his powers, but that it still caused physiological changes and a chemical dependency.
This is also the theory I prefer, but I have seen few people supporting it.
I like how you go back on what happened to Sam since the beginning of season 3. Not many people seem to remember that Sam did not trust Ruby at first. As you said, he even chose Dean over her a few times. Ruby used a lot of patience and skill to bring Sam where she needed him.
I really loved Dean’s phone call to Sam. It reminded me of their conversation in Scarecrow, where Dean reached out to his brother, despite the fact that it was Sam who ditched him, finding the exact right words to break down the walls between them.
Oh, yeah, I totally thought of "Scarecrow", also because of the way the brothers kept looking mournfully at their phones ^^
They are finally not on the side of demons or angels anymore, they are on the side of humankind and that’s how is should be, because it has always been that way: Saving people, hunting things. The family business! ♥
