Jus In Bello Review *SPOILERS*

[ohbooth]

Okay, I stand by my 'should have stayed in the original order' credo, but other than that, well it was a great way to introduce the 'big bad' of the new 'world' that has demons just walking around willy nilly possessing who ever they want, hmm, but not our boys who got some interesting tatt's! I wonder how many people are gonna bring this pic to the tatt parlor after this episode

Okay, now I know some people are gonna be all anti-Ruby after this episode, but I can't do it, I love the girl!! I mean, COME ON! She was ready to DIE so that the boys could still fight the good fight, and I mean, yeah, hate her if you want, but can you really say she was wrong? It's the way to win a battle, and I think the whole 'asking Dean to help toughen up Sam' thing was completely lost on Dean. Because they couldn't let a willing girl give her life to save them (although I am glad they didn't because that would have meant bye bye Ruby) the new power killed them all anyways! I mean, they should go with her plan anyways, because she has a couple hundred years experience, and she DID battle her way outta the gate, and that crazy demon in MM said, it was one hell of a fight!! Additionally I think Kripke was a genius to think up the character of Ruby, because she gets to say all the things the hypercritical audience (like myself) want to say. Tells it like it is, so we know that the buys aren't 'perfect' in the eyes of the writers. 

AND like I said in Shazz' blog, it is now major suckage because they lost a potentially amazing hunter in the process. Seriously, Henrickson already had the whole 'I hate my job, and need anew direction' thing going, I could see him as an amazing help to the boys, he has all the training, and was pretty quick to jump on the 'demons are real' train after he was possessed, which given is hard to deny once one has violated your personal space, but I digress.

If they just would have done it Ruby's way they could have had another hunter to fight the war that is now looking d@mn scary. And sorry to say, but Ruby keeps having to swoop in and help the boys out of every jam they have put themselves in, even helping them throw the new power off their trail so they can find Bela and get back the colt, which as Ruby pointed out, they should have never let out of their sight in the first place!! I mean I hate to say it, and I love the boys, buut they need to man up and start acting like this is an actual war instead of some random demon attack! Sam even said, they need to start thinking in strategy, and moves ahean, and like the trickster said, because they are each others biggest weaknesses, Sam went with Dean's idea a got a bunch of people killed, it was by sheer luck (and you know, writing the ep so that the boys would live ) that they left when they did. Ruby was once again right, if THIS is how they are going to fight against the demon army, anyone with half a brain should bet on the horse that has an actual battle plan (and a strong one at that), and if THIS is the way they are gonna fight the war, they mine as well walk into he|| right now, because they don't stand a chance of winning unless they start making the hard decisions.

And before I forget, loved memorized Latin Sammy!! I mean, I may just be a big Nerd, but holy man! I mean, even that 'demon chick in Ohio Casey' said that Sam is the well-known smart one! LOL, except for the ya know, getting half a dozen people killed by trying to 'do the right thing'. OH, and YAY for a secret between the bros FINALLY being revealed! I mean, they have been keeping stuff from each other in multiples this season, and I thik above the whole 'each other being their biggest weaknesses' they can possibly overcome that of they work together, and STOP with the secret keeping!

One more thing (I know, sorry) but what the he|| is up with the John bashing?! Now complete strangers are doing it!! I mean, that remark Henrickson made was just WRONG! I mean, seriously! Okay, and I know a few of you don't like John, but PLEASE don't tell e how the whole 'sexual abuse' thing is a possibility....I mean, really, come on! AND also, I am a little raw from a customer threatening me today, so pleas, if you didn't get the hint about how much I hate the John bashing, let me spell it out, Please, in the name of all that is Supernatural, me into thinking John was anything but the best man/father he could be under the circumstances. Cause it's just not gonna happen.

Alright, done ranting now, sheesh, that takes a lot outta you...

That's interesting, I hadn't thought of that angle! Maybe when Kripke finally decides to let us in on how it involves Mary and her friends, we might have some answers!

I agree with you about keeping the original order though. I loved this episode, but would have much preferred to go into the break with Feral!Sam from last week :D

Yup, I agree, Angsty Sammy would have been better to end on! AND the whole "Super Angst" thing makes more sense if the deaths of this ep would have been before Mystery Spot.

And yeah, my mind is way to active, coming up with WAY to many scenarios! LOL, I wish Kripke would just let us in already!
