So Sam¡¯s (Jared Padaleki) become a vampire now? Ingesting the blood of Ruby in order to gain his powers to then exorcize demons from people and defeat the others that are too powerful for convention demon fighting weapons. Interesting, this definitely supports my long-running theory that Sam is headed for the dark side, if he isn¡¯t there already. Sure, while Dean (Jensen Ackles) seemed to be the likely candidate (especially after tonight¡¯s torture session) it is Sam that is making the journey and quickly much to the delight of Ruby as he sucked her blood.
We learned a lot in ¡°On the Head of a Pin.¡± Not only did we have this little tidbit about Sam and Ruby and see how Sam is actually becoming extremely powerful to the point where he can kill a high level demon. But we also learned that Uriel (Robert Wisdom) is indeed working for another party other than heaven or hell but himself as he believes Humans are the bane of the existence and by bringing on the Apocalypse in releasing Lucifer and bringing upon the end of days.
Of course Castiel (Mischa Collins) isn¡¯t going to stand for it but we see that Castiel, uh, yeah he¡¯s not a very powerful angel, as not only was he bested by Uriel but beaten earlier by Allastair. Plus, since in his own words ¡°they don¡¯t tell me much¡± Castiel is quickly becoming pretty damn worthless in my opinion. Seriously, he can¡¯t defend Dean, he can¡¯t sniff out his own buddy as the big, bad, angel killing goon and can¡¯t tell anyone anything because he doesn¡¯t know. Sheesh, really? At least give us a freaking angel that knows something at least. OK, OK, don¡¯t get too angry I¡¯m joking mostly because I know that¡¯s part of the fun in watching the drama unfold.
Luckily, it was Anna ¨C the fallen angel that Dean boned ¨C that saved Castiel and destroyed Uriel before he could do the same to Castiel. She shows up at the best of times, huh, too bad she couldn¡¯t show up earlier to help out Dean after Uriel released Allastair and he ended up giving it to Dean just as bad as he gave it to him.
But more importantly, we now know Dean¡¯s purpose in all of this. Dean unlocked the first seal to hell by being the one to break in hell and being a righteous man thus setting off a chain of events that would lead to the unlocking of the other seals by Lilith and the other demon horde. But not only was Dean the one that started it but he is the one that can end it as well. Whatever that means. Castiel doesn¡¯t know.
Dean also thinks he can¡¯t do it because he isn¡¯t strong enough. He isn¡¯t the person that they think he is or expect him to be. Something echoed by Sam earlier to Ruby. But who is strong enough then? Sam? He¡¯s a different type of strong and probably not something the angels are wanting and it seems Ruby and the demons have their own plans (see above). My guess is Dean will come through in the clutch and we¡¯ll see him rise above all these fears and depression we see him now.
But again that¡¯s the fun in watching.
