Sylvia Bond is a ten-year technical writing veteran with too many degrees under her belt to count. She lives in Colorado, but does not ski, preferring instead to spend her money and time at the annual Great American Beer Festival, taking road trips across the United States, and reading historical fiction from the comfort of her fluffy green arm chair. She has been involved in fandom since 1993 and been writing fanfic since approximately 1993. What she finds most amazing about fandom (besides the open heartedness of fans and the sheer amount of creativity) is how visible fandom has become. "In my day," she says, "we had to hide behind P.O. boxes to get fanfic. But nowadays, people wear t-shirts that shout their affiliation and share their shiny toys on the internet." It's a wonderful world. 20 Comments

Sylvia, I have to breathe in deeply, for a moment, as my thoughts are swirling in my head. I have been anxiously waiting to read your review of this poignant, heartbreaking and cathartic episode. I knew you would do a fantastic job of recapping this episode and you didn’t disappoint. This week’s show left me in pieces. My heart broke when Dean stood up to his ‘self’ as he left no stone unturned….he laid his soul bare for everyone to see. He isn’t one to reveal very much so it was shocking to hear how he really felt all these years. Wow….just wow! Jensen’s acting is pure beauty; multi-layered and eloquent. I cheered when he admitted to Bobby that he was like a father to him. We all knew he felt that way but is was so satisfying to hear him actually admit it – out loud and we both know how much it meant for Bobby to actually hear it.
I also loved the scene, at the hospital, when Dean was watching Bobby. The expression on his face was so sweet.
I love this man. He is sexy, complicated, strong and loyal. I was an absolute mess at the end of this episode. I can’t get it out of my head. It has lingered there since I watched the show.
Sam, oh Sam! How funny was that dream. He was like a teenage boy….All flustered! I laughed so hard that I almost fell out of my chair.
I need to breathe in deeply again….wrap my arms around Dean…hold him close and tell him it will be okay!
Kripke must find a way to save our Dean and he needs to save Sam along the way too because he is starting to scare me.
I absolutely love this show!
I wanted to add one more thing. I was also happy to hear Dean finally admit to Sam that he didn’t want to die. And, to hear him accept Sam’s help without any hesitation was satisfying beyond words.
The scene was quiet…..just as it needed to be….
I loved this episode SO much, Sylvia! I screamed when you did, and was delighted when Dean finally realized his self-worth and decided he didn't deserve to die or go to hell. I'm curious to see if we're going to see a changed Dean from now on. And of course, I'm anxious to see how Sam is going to get Dean out of the deal without sacrificing the kindly young man we've come to love. By the way, I do believe we saw Sam's powers returning in this episode, both in the similarities between his Bela dream and what happened when she actually did show up at their door, and the fact that he WAS able to manipulate the dream so easily. Sammy is getting his mojo back–and I suspect that's what's ultimately going to save big bro! Love, Robin
great insight into dean again…loved the episode now i would like one for sam because you know i know more about dean than him!!
oh and lovely review again…
Dear Joan,
It really was a brilliant episode, wasn’t it? All these pieces that we’ve been worried about fell into place – put there by some amazingly taltented actors and screenwriters and directors and that KRIPKE guy. Man. It was AWESOME all the way around. And I’m with you. This episode just won’t leave my head because it had so many things to show us abuot the boys and their lives. Interesting point: We need to have an episode that reveals as much about Sam, you are right! (We are such demanding True Fans!)
I can’t wait for the next installment! Thank you for squeeing with me about it – it’s always a pleasure to share the joy with you.
Best Regards,
Sylvia
Dear tina,
Yeah, Sam needs an episode where we find out how HE feels about all this. Though, when you think about it, he’s never been shy about expressing how frustrated he is, how angry, how sad…which is cool, but yeah, let’s get inside SAM’s head now!
Thank you for liking my review!
Best Regards,
Sylvia
hi sylvia,
thanks so much for this. you did such a great job. i’m linking my blog post about this ep to your recap, if that’s OK. *hugs*
Sylvia, I just wanted you to know that I look forward to your ep reviews every month. They are always insightful and funny and just made of WIN!
as for sammys man-crush, dare I say its his big bro dean?
Dear susannah,
You’re welcome so much! I’m glad you liked it, and sure, link away. : D
Best Regards,
Sylvia
Dear Robin,
Oh man!!! It doesn’t get any cooler than this, right? It was so amazing, I can’t see how a True Fan wouldn’t be screaming when the Real Dean shot Nightmare Dean. I don’t know if Sam’s powers came back, because I don’t know if they ever went away, you know what I mean? Certainly the expression on Sam’s face when he told Jeremy what he could and was going to do was a bit Evil!Sam there, but in a lovely way. I think Show will do what it does best, and that is keep us in suspence until we have a cumulative heart attack! Thank you for reading, dear, and for posting!
Best Regards,
Sylvia
