Point one - as a monster of the week with Jody Mills kicking ass while being compassionate, I enjoyed it.
Point two - I was frustrated this didn't give us much else - at this stage of the season, I want fecking story arc, thanks very much.
Point three - maybe it did give us something, but if that is what it was supposed to be then it was a big hammer to crack a nut. Family you'd do anything for, clinging onto a past that has gone, forcing someone to fill a role they didn't have a choice about...Dean the cold hearted monster killer. Is that what it was?
Point four - geeze AMB. Maybe the writers and the show actually think they are here to entertain me with a little bit of fantasy horror every week after which I will go back to my day job and forget about it. But I, being a frigging nutcase, am obsessed and so it's my own fault for wanting more/reading more into it.
So - a B minus I guess. I have cravings, guys and I don't think Show is going to satiate me. Fanfic-land, here I come.

The thing about Dean killing is that it just isn't that different from regular Dean. Maybe he's savoring the kills a little more, but I don't know. This is season one Dean really before Lenore and gray areas. What concerns me is the way he's pushing Sam away. I know a lot of fans are blaming Sam's "no brothers" rule, which Sam is clearly not following. I wonder though if the Mark of Cain is dampening Dean's humanity across the board -- not just in his dealings with monsters but with Sam and anyone he has conflict with.
