This episode is SO GOOD and even better on re-watch because ~so many reasons.
Ooh, color me intrigued.
so much as he learned some fucked-up lessons from the way he died. Like, he tried to play nice, he trusted Jake, and where did that get them? Dead, hell-gate opened, and Dean damned.
THIS. Basically, Sam evolved. He wasn't "tainted" or whatever. Well, as far as I know. Secrets could obviously still be revealed that I'm not spoiled for.
So he's being proactive in hardening himself to the kills. FAVORITE.
Character development! I love it!
Gordon is awesome. Sometimes in a scary way, but still.
Yeah. I really wish he had been a tiny bit more sympathetic in his earlier episodes. I could understand why he hated and killed vampires the way he did, but there didn't seem to be much humanity in him for non-vampires either. He was very much painted as a black-and-white villainous foil for the grayer boys. I'm still mulling over whether I find his obsession with killing Sam understandable (in the sense of, say, Glory, where I don't want either of them to succeed but I understand where they're coming from).
