Your comments said pretty much how I felt about this. Jared did a good job playing Gary. I’m sure he had a lot of fun with some of the scenes. Ordering an alcoholic drink and being goofy with that plus getting pick up by a “lady of the night”. Jared handled this comedic scene well. This is the comedy that Jared does the best.
The interaction between Dean and Gary/Sam wasn’t all that great. I can’t believe it took Dean so long to figure out this was not Sam. FIRST CLUE : Sam would never put the Impala into reverse and run into something without Dean going ballistic and knowing right then something was wrong with Sam.
This episode had a lot of pot holes through out. Finding out there is a bounty on Dean was a juicy piece of information and at least made some connection to the Apocalypse. Guess Lucifer figures as long as Sam and Dean are together fighting getting Sam to agree to be his vessel is not likely to happen.
Coming up with a plan to kill Dean so they can collect the reward is ridicules. None of them have any problem actually killing someone they don’t know? Gary actually trying to shoot Dean in the basement was ever more stupid. A normal kid to this point without flinching is going to shoot this guy in the back! Dean is first: not stupid, second: Dean doesn’t hear the cocking of the shotgun yeah right like that would ever happen.
What I did like was hearing Dean ask Sam don’t you ever think about having a wife and rugrats? Dean has been changing in his wanting a normal life since he reunited with Sara and met Ben. To hear Sam say he has no interest in that anymore when that was why he went to Stanford, to live that kind of life. I’m sad to say I believe Sam has lost all of his dreams and is very comfortable with living the life of a hunter. Dean on the other had has grown up and matured so much since getting out of hell and thinking there is more to life than this. Otherwise why would he continue trying to end the apocalypse, because he that breaks the first seal is the one who will end it.
I’m really happy to have Supernatural back and I love see Sam and Dean, so I’m giving the writers and Eric a wide OK this is the stupid bad episode for Season 5. Good think that’s out of your system, or it better be. What is tragic here is writers missed a wonderful opportunity to delve into the problems that still exist between Sam and Dean. It would have been exceptional if Dean and Sam swapped bodies and through a MOTW show having to fight together but literally from different sides could have given them insight to how each of them thought and felt and maybe, just maybe start to mend their relationship.
