spn 6.03 "The third man"

[the_milky_way]

Yeah, Dean is still pissed that Sam left him alone for a year think he was dead. I would be, too but still... I miss the brothers together.

Eww.. ewww.. this is just so eww. Yuck. So SPN but still so damn eww...Okay, I think I'm sick now.

Hey shirtless Dean.A dream... Oh Dean.

Okay, I have to admit I love those kind of parallel scenes. Nice Sammy.

But a hooker? Well, I know people will bitch about this but I think it shows how much Sam has changed. This is Sam dealing with way too much stuff.
On a shallow note, I really like Sam's hair there.. not to mention the rest.

Yeah, right. Sam won't call. He's way too casual about it and I think he doesn't really want to deal with anything at all. He's all work and no live. In a way he is like Dean there when Dean came back.. just more focused.. like in Mystery Spot. Sam's lost without Dean and I don't know if they really want him to show this way or not. And really, I like this new Sam in many ways because he fits into the show and the story.

The cop is sort of cool with the laser gun and the spiked soda. LOL
Poor cop. And Ewwww

Oh Sammy... so emotionless.
But hey, banter.. about cars. They are on the right way. And then so professional in the morgue... Nice.


The cars.. LOL... Oh boys. Oh boys. I had to smile there.

"Were you racing me?"
"No. Kicking your ass. Amateur."

Sam kicking the door in and Dean's face... "Dude".. exactly.

Man, that guy is creepy.

Sam's all forceful.

Oh please don't take the cap off. Thanks. Please no... EWWW... Yes, I feel like Dean there.

Egyptian plagues? Okay. Interesting.

Sam tried to call Castiel. Oh man.. this is going to be mean. Right?

Right...

Sam's face when Castiel shows up.. God, why always Sam? This is not cool. I have to admit that Sam's indignation is funny, though. But it breaks my heart as well.

Also, Thank you Dean for pointing out that SAM SAVED THE WORLD! Dean's standing up for Sam there even though he's still pissed at his little brother.

Castiel is an ass right there. But then he didn't came because Dean called. At least something. Also, 'more profound bound'? Really.. Oh come on.

Moses' Staff? Wow.

"You saying your nukes are loose?" Oh Dean

"I need your help."
"That's rich."
Castiel on a rant is a little funny there... Kinda.

So they all have change as it seems. Interesting.

LOL Castiel... Just pops them in the guy's living room.

Wow, Sammy. Forceful.

That's the staff? Okay... Wow Castiel.. has changed. And an angel gave the staff to the kid then. Heaven is really a rogue place right now.

His soul? Angels are taking souls now? Wow.

Sam and Castiel are on the same page there and Dean is fighting it. Shows how all of them have changed a lot during the last year. Dean is caring now, always was, but now more than ever. Castiel doesn't have the luxury to care and Sam isn't really able to really care in his state of mind.

The look Dean gives Sam there... Mistrust and maybe even anger? Yeah, I don't like it either but... Man, I miss the brother trusting each other and doing everything for the other one. I hope we'll get that back over the time.

Balthazar. Okay... And there is some sort of search party already?


"My car."
"Okay. Silver lining."
That's Dean right there. I mourn the car though. Really, I feel with Sam. I liked it.
It's a little like "I lost my shoe"

A soldier of Raphael. Heaven is in a state of civil war. Wow. Amd they are buying souls now to be more powerful?

Another apocalypse?
Sam's face... I think this is one of his biggest fears.. along with Dean not trusting him,

"I expected more from my brothers. I'm sorry." And he's looking at Sam there. That's why he didn't come when Sam called. Castiel was ashamed. Still.. he was a dick.

Oh.. oh... Nice. Balthazar! I already kind of like him. Accent. Also, he's kinky and gone wild. Hehe... Interesting.

So he sees it as a new start. Freedom... When the parents are out of the house. How they aren't any different from humans is not exactly surprising.

"Tell Raphael to bite me."
*snorts*
I like this guy.

And this angel armada reminds me of the Matrix.

"Why won't any of you listen?" So desperate.

"Hey! Look at my junk."
Best line there. Nice one Balthazar.

Souls are the only thing worth buying. Ouch. This is the new theme of the season?

Yeah, well angels aren't that reliable after all. Glad they are actually showing that Castiel has changed as well.


"Are you okay?" Oh Dean.. thank you for asking. But still all the mistrust. Dean still knows Sam but I think he can't figure him out right now. Sam knows he's changed but his not really facing it all. Maybe he can't.

"You know what it does to you. It tortured you."
Yeah, Sam.. right. That's true. But that doesn't mean you aren't affected by it at all. And I think dean knows that Sam's heading for a huge break down there but he doesn't really know what to do about it.

Getting into the car at separate times? Ouch. Shows again how far apart they are, how much they'll have to work to get closer again. But during this ep there were glimpses of the brothers again, like they are slowly getting there. There was banter, there was working together so fluently that you didn't even realize it until it was almost over. There was the season 1 Dean with his sarcasm and indignant!Sam which was awesome to see even though it broke my heart because Sam needed Castiel and didn't get that help.


This felt like a SPN episode again, way better than the season premier but there is still so much between the brothers that it becomes apparent that it will not be solved int he next few episodes. I will be waiting for Sam's break down. He knows he has changed and I think he also knows he's not dealing with it all that well. he puts his thoughts, his power into work and he's not really living anymore. I hope that being back together with Dean will change that. I hope that Dean will be the one getting through Sam's walls.
Yeah, Sam comes across as being a dick and being emotionless but there were some scenes where I could actually see a crack in the mask and I think Sam's just not ready to think about it all or to really deal with it. As he said to Dean, they are different and always has been (and am always amazed how people tend to forget that.. another reason why I'm not really reading reviews anymore or any kind of comments in certain comms. This is my show, still and I like to have my POV not influenced my other's anymore. I think that's what saved season 5 for me, just watching, unspoiled and having my own little thoughts about it all).

Also, I might even think that this Sam is hot, so forceful and all... I do like my Sammy caring but this has some appeal, too.

Dean. Yeah. He's caring for sam so much that's why he's having a hard time realizing this new person there with him. He's had a year of a somewhat normal life (compared to what he had before) with a constant of things there. Ben, Lisa and no monsters. Of course, he is having a rough time getting back into things when his life of that one year is still around, interfering. I also think Sam might really be a little jealous there but he knows why Dean did what he did and that his brother cares for people. Oh and maybe Sam's waiting for Dean to actually see him again...

Castiel. Yeah, I know the shippers will jubilate. I'm intrigued though. That is a Castiel we've never seen before and the things going on in Heaving are clearly affecting him. I'm interested to see what the writer's will make out of that because last season's Castiel didn't do much for me but I tolerated him, liked him most of the times even (and ignored fandom). I just hope they won't take the same way the did the last two seasons and make Sam the evil and dark one again.. this is getting old. Seeing Castiel all rough and determined though, has me cheering a little.

I think this will all be very interesting or at least I hope it will be.
I do miss the old days of Sam and Dean though. But after this episode I can say that I still like the show, that I have my doubts and my suspicions and my hopes, but I still like watching, which is the most important part for me. After the premier I might have feared that this could go very wrong or that I might get bored soon. Not the case so far even if there are things I don't like. This is my show and I love watching it.

Also on a side note: I though we were done with Angels?
I surprisingly don't seem to mind Balthazar though. Must be the accent.. LOL

Spoilers for next week to follow...
The God of Truth? Wow, that... Okay, this episode will be very interesting and I want to know if Sammy is lying there or not... Next week please?

Lovely new layout sweetheart. :)

it hurt to see Sam with the hooker. *pouts*
I think that's another way for them to show us how emotionless and detached Sam is at the moment. But yeah, I still can't swallow it down. :(

I was pissed at Castiel for not showing up for Sam before but I'm glad Dean defended his brother and remembered Castiel Sam went to hell for them. ;)

[the_milky_way]

LOL, had to change it again because it wasn't working for me but I'm trying to set up a different background for this one here.. I want some SPN on here.. LOL

Yes, I know what you mean. I think It's really a way to show that Sam's dealing with a lot and has detached himself from everything emotional during that year.

Hehe, I liked that scene a lot... all three of them even though Castiel was a douche... :)

[elless18.livejournal.com]

Thank you Dean for pointing out that SAM SAVED THE WORLD!

That made me so happy! As did shirtless boys and Sam all glistening with sweat and Balthazar and Castiel using air quotes. I'm still worried about Sam, but I'm glad Dean called him out on his strange behavior.

[the_milky_way]

Yes, Dean made me sort of happy, too. He's still looking out for Sam even though he doesn't really trust him right now. I do hope Sam has an epic break down and things actually get out in the open... Sam's other strategies to deal never really worked out.

[silverraven.livejournal.com]

I love the differences between Sam and Dean, it's been one of my fave things since S1. And I applaud the writers for having Dean and Sam reactions to Hell be different. Because, of course they would be!

I'm actually a little surprised just how much I'm loving this season (I was apprehensive about it all summer) but yeah, three episodes in and nearly everything is really working for me :)

Sam knows he's changed but his not really facing it all. Maybe he can't.
THIS. There's so much mystery surrounding Sam. And I equally want to know and don't what to know what happened to him. I have a feeling it'll break my heart. Oh, Sammy.

[the_milky_way]

The differences between Sam and Dean are what makes the story interesting because the are not the same as in season 1 or 2 or 3 anymore but then they are still Sam and Dean. And yes, I like that their reactions are different. They are supposed to be human beings after all. ;)

I was apprehensive as well and after the premier I wasn't sure but now I start to really like it. I hope it keeps on being like this.

Sam and mystery are attached and it works for me. Right! I want to know but I'm scared what we might find out. I hope Dean will be there for him.

[akintay.livejournal.com]

I don't even think Sam comes off as a dick. I still find him really likable, just not really in touch with his emotional side anymore. He does what needs to be done to get the jobs done, and I kinda get that. And IDK, he looks really hot being a serious hunter ;-)

[the_milky_way]

Yes, to the not i touch with his emotional side thing. So true.
I get him, too. I think he knows he that he couldn't deal when Dean wasn't there and now maybe he might have the chance to start dealing with things.

And yes.. HOT

[light-ftw.livejournal.com]

Dtto to *so* many things you've said.

I personally could go without Castiel there at all {but then I'm a bit biased against him :P} and I'm thinking things are all well if he's not some SUPER important character there. I was all with Dean the moment Cas said 'we have a special bond' and Dean was like '... huh?'. After all even the finale of the fifth season was whole about the bond of Dean and *Sam*, totally not Castiel :D

Oh, rant aside. I'm glad that Sam and Dean are at least communicating, and doing things together. There were times they weren't doing even that, and didn't really talk. Now they're at least bringing up things the moment they arise, as Dean sharing his concerns with Sam the very same ep instead of just waiting how things turn out and watching him.

Which I think is something to build on, even if Sam is avoidant, unlike just shrugging and looking hurt/pissed as say through season three. So I think there's honesty between them, and they have time to work it through. I hope more of the show shows again increasing trust, I think they're making first steps toward it.

[the_milky_way]

Yes, I was all 'huh' there as well. But then I actually got Castiel this time but I'm not superfont of him. I could live without him.

Communication. Yes, I think that was missing in the last two seasons, or well one and a half, since Sam actually started opening up in the middle of season five. I like that Dean actually talks now, says what he thinks. I really hope it's help Sam to open up again and to actually start dealing with things.There is development and I hope it'll stay this way.

[force-oblique.livejournal.com]

I really liked the episode, not impressed but I liked it!!
But it just feels a little off for me still...
I liked Castiel and I love how he stands up for whats right against the other angels.

Balthazar was also pretty good and omg Shirtless Sam was awesome, although new Sam is gonna take some getting used to..he is so dark and emotionless!

[the_milky_way]

Some things still feel off to me as well. It's a new season and things definitely are different this time around.

Yes, new!Sam is really someone you have to get used to. I want to see if they keep on going with this or of they let him open up again.
