But I liked Sarah too. Maybe I have no taste? But she was presented as someone who Sam would fall for. I'm not saying I can't see the Mary Sue qualities, but I didn't see that she crossed the line into an actual Mary Sue. She wanted to go to the house because she knew the lady who'd bought the painting. Then she SAW the painting move. That's what pulled her in. It's not like she swept in and saved Sam and Dean or something. Besides, the Dean and Sam banter over her was too good to quibble!
I would never say you had no taste - as I said, if anything she was *too* perfect. So we'll have to agree to disagree about Sarah, but I certainly agree about the brother banter generated by her. Wonderful!
Season One Versus Season Two . . . I haven't been real happy with the way they'll have a major angsty ep (BUABS, Heart) which bring up a LOT of issues which should be resolved, followed by a complete comedy ep (TT, HB) and then don't reference the angst at all . . . should be more of an easing from the angst into the comedy and some kind of reference or partial resolution . . . I felt they did that really well with ELAC, then apparently forgot how.
I agree with all you say here. I am still holding out hope that we will see some reference to the events in BUABS and Heart in the final episodes. But I have been fairly pleased with how they treated lots of the angst this year, particularly Dad's death and its affect on the boys and references back to it in ELAC, Bloodlust, CSPWDT, Crossroad Blues, etc.
I simply love this show. And I know I'm not alone here! Thanks!
