Such an excellent point about the difference between Bobby and the Campbells! Bobby strikes me as more “honest” about it whereas, as you said, the Campbells keep it all underground.
I was struck by how many different locations there were in this episode! The Campbell library, the warehouse where Cas talks to the other angel, the street/gallows, the Sheriff’s office, the upstairs bedroom at the saloon, the saloon, Samuel Colt’s cabin, the stable, the outdoor graveyard – there were so many!!!!
And a lot happened in this episode. The perfect blend of tension and humor. I loved so much about it.
I agree with you on the twist at the end. I too thought the Phoenix character (monster married to a human) was a very cool idea! Yeah; that poor guy didn’t really do anything wrong! He was trying to avenge his wife’s death!
At the end, I thought about the fact that Sam was the true hero of this one. In spite of Dean LOOKING like the hero with his love for the Old West, getting to be Sheriff, doing the duel in the street at noon, and killing the monster, it was SAM who saved the day by talking to Samuel Colt and telling him the truth. That’s the only reason Samuel Colt shipped him the ashes.
I do have issue with how someone from the Old West could ever figure out how to operate a cell phone in order to find Sam’s address at Bobby’s but I’ll let that go! It was so cool to see them open the old crate with the phone in it!
