Supernatural - The Devil You Know, S01E20

When did Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) trade places? I remember watching the first 2 seasons and not being particularly attracted to Sam because, despite being attractive and intelligent, he just didn't have much of an edge. The first time that any sort of interest flickered was when he was possessed by a demon and was getting handsy with Jo.

Not that I'm particularly into men possessed with demons, but until then he really had gone soft. I suppose the demons really did do us all a favour when they killed Jess and brought him back to the realm of fighting supernatural beings. And it makes sense that it would take a while for all that sweetness to leave him with only anger.

It must have been when Dean went to Hell, when Sam started his affair with Ruby that he became the darker, more dangerous of the brothers. Really, though, Dean hasn't changed much. He still has the same awesome attitude he did in the beginning. I think Sam just went from being so much tamer to being so much angrier. I suppose if I ever rewatch the entire series I'll have to keep an eye out for that transition.

Meanwhile, the end of the world is still on track, Sam finally got to absolutely avenge Jess's death, and the Lovers in League against Satan may have had a win. Also, there was a battle between Hell Hounds. All in all, this episode was awesome, and I am even more excited about the penultimate episode of the season next week and the finale the week after. And then I will have to suffer 4 months without Sam and Dean to comfort me...maybe I will rewatch the entire series.
