You guys! It’s Sex Luthor’s wife from Smallville! You know, I was kind of surprised–I remembered a lot of this episode too. S2 was apparently pretty memorable, which I hadn’t really thought about before. But anyway, this was another light mythology episode so again, I’m gonna keep it short (well, short for me anyway), and save the big guns for the heavy-duty episodes coming up.
The thrust of this episode is that it was a running parallel between the story of the week (Sam having to kill a werewolf that he … well, maybe didn’t LOVE, but definitely liked a lot), and the standing plot of Dean maybe having to kill Sam if he can’t save him. And of course, we continue with Dean’s evolution toward “monsters”.
And in fact, let’s deal with that first, because it’s the easier of the two themes. In this case, it’s true that the werewolves (which Dean was REALLY excited about, hilariously) didn’t know what they were or what they were doing, and it certainly wasn’t their choice. He still felt that there was no other option than to kill them, but he did more willingly make an effort to save the girl, and you could tell that he is feeling more morally convicted at this point. I sincerely love the character evolution on this show, and I do love watching it on DVD because I think that seeing everything close together makes the subtleties stand out more, which is kind of fun.
