Supernatural Season Eight Re-Watch: Taxi Driver

[itsnotmymind]

I sympathize with a major criticism of this episode: Sam spent a season trying to keep Dean out of Hell, and failed, and failed to rescue him. Bobby is rescued in one episode. Kinds cheapens S3/S4.

The main think I wanted to note about this episode is this: as soon as Sam interacts with Benny without Dean being there, he reverts to usual style of sympathy for monstrous creatures. His hostility towards Benny was about all the crap going on between him and Dean, not Benny himself.

I really got frustrated with things like that later on, it was the same with season 3 being all about trying to get Dean out of his deal and it being presented as this impossible thing, and yet in Weekend At Bobby’s Bobby finds a way to blackmail Crowley into releasing him almost as soon as Crowley reveals that the contract he made will be binding

Yep.
