Well, here was an interesting twist: As more hunters find out that Sam isn’t hunting and that he once drank lots of demon blood to fight demons, they’re gonna be looking for him.
The question is, now that all the demons of hell have been unleashed, will Sam be able to fight them using the demon blood?
Actually, the real question is, were Dean and Sam born to be vessels of heaven and hell? And when I say heaven and hell, I mean, Heaven and Hell. Dean is supposedly the vessel for the Archangel Michael. And Sam for Lucifer himself.
I don’t doubt Lucifer when he says Sam is his vessel. I think, actually, that he’s telling the truth when he says he doesn’t lie.
It’s just a matter of what truth is he telling. Didn’t we all hear all the fairy tales growing up where someone got three wishes and all the wishes turned to crap because they were taken literally? Remember, we often hear what we want to hear when someone tells us something. How many times have each of us been disappointed by believing someone meant one thing when it turned out the reality was far different?
Lucifer doesn’t need to lie. The question is, will Sam somehow convince himself that if Lucifer uses him as a vessel that he’ll somehow be able to control the demon within and help save the world?
And if Dean doesn’t allow Michael to use him as a vessel, will it all matter anyway?
This week, we get zombies (cool!) as Dean goes forward five years to see what happens if he doesn’t allow Michael to use his sword. So the question is whether this will convince Dean.
I wonder, however, who the demon was who killed the boys’ mother and Sam’s girlfriend. Was it a demon? Or was it actually an angel who was trying to set the boys on their life’s journey? We’ve seen enough of the angels now to know that we can’t put that past them.
The only thing that disappoints me about the upcoming episode is that its focus on the future means we probably won’t find out where God’s been hiding out yet. I’m really curious.
If you were an omnipotent being who controlled the planet to some degree or another, where would you go for R&R?

I’m sorry Amy, I’m having a hard time getting past my smutty mind thinking, “I’d like to use Dean as a vessel.” (Insert waggling eyebrows here.) And that doesn’t even make sense! I’m going to have come back later when I’m less giggly and have learned to control myself.
*Leaves shamefacedly…
What I loved about the Vampire Chronicles: Memnoch the Devil is, he causes trouble by telling the truth, and using it as only an angel can, lies are for demons.
I think the Yellow eyed demon did the deed on the winchester women, perhaps at the prompting of the Devil, to stir the pot…
Oh, SPN. I feel like Kripke wants the brothers to fight it out, but I just want Sam and Dean to tell each other that they love each other! I am hoping they will work towards that this season, but what do I know? I had no idea that Kripke would actually have a war between Heaven and Hell!!! But what I do know, is that Dean totally loves Sam, and vice versa, and that one day, they will jump in Metallicar, and save the day… right??!!
@Beth – rofl. Control yourself, woman!
@Scott – That’s an excellent point (and an excellent book!). The truth can be a far more powerful weapon than a lie and can cause far more trouble. But so far I’ve seen as many lies from the angels as from the Demons on this show. Interesting thought on the yellow-eyed demon. But how would that explain Dean being the vessel for Michael?
@Erika – I think that in the end, somehow, Kripke will use the brothers’ love for one another to end it all. I don’t know exactly how or anything, but I don’t think he’ll have one of them actually kill the other.
