Supernatural Season 4 Episode 7 - It's the great pumpkin, Sam Winchester

Posted by The Red Devil on Friday, October 31, 2008 in , , , , ,
There are a lot that can be said about this episode. The montage of Halloweens past in the opening billboard was a cute touch. It shows how accurate the show wants to be (Although technically they aren't: Mary Winchester died on November 2nd but the pilot states that she died September. Oh well...)

Urban legends abound on Halloween. Being Filipino, it's not usual for us to celebrate Halloween. We have pangangaluluwa which is like prank week on crack. But hey, take me to where I get free candy, justified pranks and awesome costumes, I am so there. The whole razor blades in candies though, just grossed me out and might have completely turned me off from candies (operative word though is might)

***

Was it just me who got all tingly when Dean started talking back to the angels? I swear it was such a sweet torment for me to see Dean and Castiel argue like that. And can I just say that Sam is such a fangirl?! How weird is that? Uriel though, hmmm... he still needs to grow on me because right now, I think he's a dick.

Nice scene with the astronaut kid. Although he might have to go incognito from now on since he did egg the impala. (It did look like bird crap so I'm not so sure)

Would the equation be Castiel is to Dean as Uriel is to Sam? Would Uriel be the one to smite or save Sam? I'm guessing since he's a dick, he gets stuck with demon boy. I sure hope Sam kicks his ass just for fun.

It is getting clearer why Dean was chosen among all the "heroes" to be pulled out of the pit. As a human, he is loyal, determined and most of all, always out to prove himself and always adamant to do the right thing, even in the most perverse and seemingly hopeless situations. He's not one to say "let's take the easy way out"; he will always find a way. Plus, he does remember how hell is. I'm pretty sure that's an extra motivation for him to make sure Aunt Lucy doesn't get out of her prison. (Lucifer will always be a woman. ALWAYS)He wouldn't want that to be unleashed amongst humankind.

Castiel is showing a more...dare I say it? Human side to him. He may not express it but he's got Dean's back and by that, he's got Sam's back as well. I'm excited to see the character's development.

castiel is really starting to grow on me. i hope we get to see him kick some demon ass in future episodes. an angels wrath is probably a sight to behold :)

Another great episode. I loved that they used the urban legend about razor blades in the apples and I liked the whole history of Samhain as the demon behind Halloween. It made for a very interesting story.

But the best part of the episode was the Winchesters interactions with the angels. Robert Wisdom as Uriel was a great addition. But I guess the real question is did Dean pass the test?


@kiko - I think Castiel rocks! It makes me think about free will and angels. I mean, I'm guessing the winged ones do have free will; it's just that they're created to be soldiers.

@vacelts - The razor thing really grossed me out. Loved the Winchester interaction with the angels. The coosome foursome and the twosome interaction (Sam/Uriel, Dean/Castiel) all rocked. I think Dean passed the test. It takes a strong and righteous man to fight for an entire town. It just scares me to think what other decisions he has to make in the future.

Happy Sabbat to both of you!
