Another great episode!! The confrontation between Dean and Sam was spot on!! Dean's love for watching out for his little brother being the only thing that keeps him from wanting to hunt Sam. The obvious parable between Sam's choice and TMOW's choice. The actess playing Ruby this year IS a considerable disappointment. There's nothing at all of the old Ruby shining through from last year. Can I throw out a completely wild idea here? How does Sam KNOW that this IS the original Ruby in this new meat suit? Could this new Ruby actually be another demon altogether fooling Sam to go darkside? Maybe Lilith?

Gosh, I hope so, because she has nothing of Katie Cassidy's temperament to her. No screen presence. No "temptress" quality. Nothing. She's not even bitchy.
"My, what a big baseball bat you have, Grandma."
"All the better to beat you over the head with tonight's message, my dear."
If I was Sam, I would have hit back and told Dean, "Don't you EVER hit me like that again." I was expecting his retaliation a lot sooner than it came. Yeah, I know Dean's scared, but was so fucking way out of line here. There are ways to express your concerns that don't require violence, even if you are a straight man.
#1. Pilot, In My Time of Dying, Magnificent Seven, Lazarus Rising
In My Time of Dying. Tough, strong, heartbreaking, all-so-tragic-in-retrospect.
#2. Wendigo, Everybody Loves a Clown, THe Kids are alright, Are You There God?
Hmmm... I barely remember any of them, so they can't have made that much of an impact.
#3. Dead in the Water, Bloodlust, Bad Day at Blackrock, and In the Beginning.
Bad Day and In the Beginning about equal, for very very different reasons.
#4. Phantom Traveler, Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things, Sin City and Metamorphosis.
Sin City. I love "shove two people in a room and make them talk" episodes.

Of course it's not over. Just cause Sam says he's not going to use his powers doesn't mean he's not going to use them. This feels like it's telegraphing coming attractions just a bit too obviously. However, I reserve space for the possibility of being surprised.

I feel guilty for badmouthing someone I don't know, but New Ruby is an empty space. White noise. My eye skips off her like she's not there. I wonder if the writers have been giving her so few lines because they know she's not up to it. Katy Cassidy always had bigger speeches, but even with no lines at all she could make her presence felt. New girl cannot.
New girl costs less. Budget cuts. Katie Cassidy was let go not because she wasn't up to the part, but because Dawn Ostroff cut the budget. Gossip Girl got an increase so it could produce 24 episodes.
