I loved little Sammy. That kid had Sam's puppy dog looks down pat, and he just...really seemed like Sam.
He certainly had the emo down pat!

PS - I missed it and had to dl too, the torrent I used was up at 9 PM last night for me (I wonder what time it was for you?) I was so freaking excited.
I started the torrent at about 6.20am, and had finished watching in time to leave for work shortly after 8.

Also, you know what I totally loved? That they used the Christmas tree to kill them! Only Supernatural.
Yay for Christmas tree dismemberment!

And someone was wondering what Sam's freaky demon blood would have done to the pagan gods. I didn't even think about it. Hmm....
I did have a moment of wondering if they'd decide Sam's blood wasn't pure enough for their purposes or something, when it seemed like there was no escape in sight - it's so rare for them both to be captive like that without reinforcements! But that would have complicated the plot and what time was left, I guess. The simplest solution is usually the best.

Awesome festive episode, and beautifully bittersweet. Poor boys.
