Supernatural: Free to Be You and Me

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?
