Supernatural 8x5 "Blood Brother" spoiler discussion thread

[Dorian Thompson]

New episode tonight, good people.

Dorian almost thought she'd get to watch it, but my boss just emailed me that he's leaving on vacation. Less than 24 hours notice. The employees are in revolt, because some of them thought they'd get vacation. This should get interesting. I'd better get a damn raise soon.

^^ I certainly hope so.

Sounds like we'll be getting lots of flashbacks to Purgatory this week.

We have Bulls basketball here in Chicago tonight, so I don't know when this episode will air. I have to check and make sure TiVo knows.

Enjoy and I will catch up on the thread once I've seen it.

 

[Icemizer]

^Will air Saturday night.

Watched it and liked it. I liked finally getting to know Benny and getting another peak at life in Purgatory. We also got a glimpse of Sam's "real life," which was nice.

 

[Obiwanshinobi]

So does Castiel sacrifice himself to get Dean and Benny through the portal?

 

[auntiehill]

I guess we'll have to wait and find out.

 

[Mister Fandango]

I think he wanted to, but as they got close to the "escape hatch," he's convinced that he wants to get out of there as well, but Dean ends up ditching him to save Benny instead. The anguished cry for Dean that we saw in a previous flashback strongly leans that way.

This was a good episode. Nice flashbacks to both Purgatory and Pleasant Valley Sunday. Benny is an interesting character; I wonder if he is the reason that Dean wanted to give the Werewolf Girl a chance.

I really enjoyed this episode. I liked getting to see more of Benny, and what the boys were up to while they were apart.

 

[Aragorn]

Rather than have Benny turn bad or werewolf girl turn bad, what if Dean and Sam realize they have to form their own Avengers with so-called monsters in order to take out Crowley? Throw in Meg, Castiel, Green Arrow...

We're definitely headed toward a confrontation next week, hopefully going back to last year when Dean killed Sam's girlfriend.

Anyone want to take bets if this will be the cause of the annual Sam and Dean break-up?

 

[RJDiogenes]

^^ And they just got back together....

And Elena, Stephan and Damon.

I also wonder if this Purgatory storyline will shed any light on the whereabouts of Mom and Dad Winchester.
