I completely agree with your #1. I didn't see it as anything other than those points; that Sam is seeing himself and his own situation in this girl, and that he's about to kill a human being. Especially after last weeks ep where you got to see Sam's sympathy and understanding for the ghost, I had no doubt he would cry over a no-win situation like this. This wasn't about instantly falling in love with the girl. I think perhaps some folks just can't look deeper into a story. Which is the reason I tend to avoid "reviews." Learned that lesson with Buffy. There were some excellent boards that would analyze the Buffy eps, but quite often "reviews" just seemed to nit-pick the details (making it seem like people actually DIDN'T like the show). I good critique is one thing, a bitch session is another. To be clear, I LOVE your observations and comments!
I can't say I 'really' had many quibbles with the ep. I absolutely loved how the ep ended, focusing on Dean with tears in his eyes for the whole thing, for his brother, for knowing he may face the same exact situation one day.
As for wiping down the place...that probably is my only quibble with that show. Those boys break into just about everywhere with no gloves on and touch practically everything and never give it a second thought. Just a detail that does bring me out of the stories on occasion. Although, I guess I can look at it like this: If you're going to buy a world full of supernatural things that nobody seems to be aware of, perhaps in that universe the cops just ain't that bright! LOL.
I didn't mind the debate over whether the werewolves are in control or aware of their actions. It played into Sam's potential situation. I really enjoy how these stories are mirroring/foreshadowing that story arc.
I have to say that these past 4 episodes or so have kicked total ass. If they don't renew this show, I'll be seriously pissed.
