PUDDING!

So I couldn’t find any screencaps for last night’s Supernatural episode, but I wanted to write now because if I put it off I may never write it. SO…..onto last night’s episode!

I can’t believe I went a whole two months without the show, but last night did not disappoint. Long story short — the boys get into a mental hospital in order to find out why patients are dropping like flies. There wasn’t much of the apocalypse story; it was another filler, but I enjoyed it because it touched on Sam and Dean’s co-dependency, Dean’s inner problems, and Sam’s anger.

I believe the boys are very co-dependent and I think this is a reason for a lot of their problems. I’m glad it was finally brought to light in last night’s episode. As for Dean, even though he’s still choosing to bury his feelings, anger, resentment, etc., I’m glad that doctor was able to open him up even a little. It was probably nice for Dean to hear some input from somebody other than his brother or Bobby. And for once nobody was giving him a guilt trip either. I think Dean really thought about what was going on in the inside this episode, and hopefully it chipped away a little at the stone that’s clearly around his heart.

With Sam, I was really proud at the end. He finally is choosing to accept that his anger is something of his own and NOT the product of everyone else. I think realizing this will help Sam in the long run — especially his victim mentality. Dean’s response wasn’t what I was hoping for, but I have to agree with him to an extent. Sam and Dean are trying to stop the apocalypse; they don’t have time to work on themselves right now. It’s a sad thing, especially because I don’t like seeing either boy in pain, but time is a-ticking.

I guess this show meant more to me than it would for other people, but only because I’ve dealt with addiction and family issues and counseling and therapy. I’m also becoming an addiction counselor myself so I was a proud puppy hearing Sam come to his realization. Also proud of Dean for opening up just a little.

As for everything else — there were some laugh out loud moments; I loved Dean’s “PUDDING!” yell in the morgue. The fact that they were outright telling everyone about the apocalypse was great. There were some sexified moments — mostly the parts when Sam was beating the crap out of everybody. I’m just a big fan of his hair going everywhere. And the guy who played the older hunter — can’t recall his character name right now — but I’ve always liked him as an actor.

A downfall — no Castiel this episode. Also — there were some unrealistic moments in last night’s episode; it really bothered me how unsupervised and unprotected the mental hospital was. I know Sam and Dean are like ninjas, but to not restrain Sam after the first attack would have been unheard of, and the fact that they just ran out the back door at the end was crazy (no pun intended). I know it’s just a show, but yeah.

Ok, that’s it for now. Nothing special or deep. Can’t wait for next week’s episode!
