Supernatural 6.08 “All Dogs go to Heaven” Official Description

IT’S A DOG’S LIFE — Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) investigate what seems to be a werewolf killing but turns out to be a skinwalker (guest star Andrew Rothenberg) posing as a family dog who is taking revenge on his owner’s enemies. After capturing the dog, he turns human and tells Sam and Dean that an Alpha skinwalker has created many sleeper cells that will rise on his command and kill their families. The only way to stop the mass murders is to find and kill the Alpha.

Phil Sgriccia directed the episode written by Adam Glass (#608).

:waves: Enjoy the episode and please rate and discuss

I'm really surprised about how quiet it is on the boards I go to after this episode, it almost seems as if people either didn't watch it or are just not impressed enough with what they've seen to talk about it. For me it's the later, I watched only parts of it and left all the dog-action out which left me with Sam and Dean scenes in which Dean goes treating Sam as if he is somehow responsible for being soulless and acting like Sam is the biggest burdon he's ever had to carry and Sam admitting that he really doesn't care (which kind of mirrors my feelings for the show right now) and nothing really happening at all. I'm surprisingly cool about everything at the moment, I've accepted the fact that last week basically killed the character of Dean for me and that I really hope that, as soon as Sam gets his soul back he thanks Dean for helping him and tells him to go back to Lisa and he continues to hunt on his own. I don't think that's going to happen (even though I think it should) and Sam will, as usually, basically forget everything Dean throws at him at the moment and just be happy to be with him again. (Which would make me happy for him but still leave me with this feeling of it's basically completely irrelevant how you treat people who are in a situation like Sam is 'cause he apparently deserves to be treated like that.)

Other than that I don't get why the show suddenly (as someone on the other board pointed out) seems to think it's okay that supernatural beings who kill people (I think it was Lucky, right?) just should be left alone. Last time I checked Sam and Dean hunted those "monsters" so they won't be able to kill again, but then again that was a completely different show back then.

All in all I can't really rate this episode 'cause... well, forgive me, but I don't care enough about it.

On the positive side: Jared. God. That man. Whatever they did with his hair... I just stare at the screen and watch him and don't really pay attention to what he's saying and even when I watch a scene again do I really listen to him... ;) I didn't really like his looks last season, but this season.... Wow.

I also like robo!Sam (someone named him that somewhere and I think it fits) since he won't really react to how Dean is pouting and behaving like a spoiled little child who's had his fav. toy stolen. I loved that he told him right away that he doesn't care about him or Ben or Lisa (cause I pretty much feel the same way) and I'm really surprised he would want his soul back after all since he seems pretty cool with how he is and only wants his soul back cause people say he should feel like that.

I actually liked this episode, and had a far different take on it.

I don't think Dean blames Sam, I think he is having a VERY hard time looking at this Sam ... and remotely liking him. He is searching, all but begging for something to show him it's still Sam ... and coming up empty handed.

Sam ... is an oddity. He looks like Sam, talks like Sam ... but is so far from Sam it is throwing Dean for a loop.

I can't blame him, not totally. Not because I blame Sam, or that I think Dean blames Sam ... what I think is Dean is having a hard time emotionally looking at the man next to him and not finding his brother, the brother he mourned for a year.

I think the logical side to Dean, the brain that says it's not Sam's fault ... is what keeps him there.

As for Sam ... I honestly hope they show the soulful repurcussions. When he becomes whole, I hope that is when some things are revealed -- after all, with his soul still with Luci, I can't imagine its having too much fun.

When they finally get to that point, let me know. I quit watching a couple weeks ago. I can't watch Dean and Sam at odds anymore.

It was kind of weird...the thing that gets me is of course Sam, because even though he's so hard and soulless i think Jared makes him seem kind of innocent too-he doesn't have any instinct, he's a little bit lost but he doesn't even realise it...in this episode i just kept thinking of him as the victim and he seemed to lost and hurt, somehow. And dan is annoying me-sure he's under a lot of pressure, but it's not Sam's fault he's soulless and dammit you'd think he'd be a
bit more focused on getting his little brother's soul out of hell, which it tends to feel like he doesn't care that much about.
He had no excuse for beating him unconscious in you can't handle the truth, he didn't even know what was going on with Sam then. idiot.
i love Jared's hair too in this new season though!
it was a good episode, i liked how Lucky had a bit of a story going on there too...but i was a bit busy being sorry for Sam, staring at Sam's hair and being annoyed at Dean, and hating Crowley like poison, so...
that's my evaluation! can't wait for the next episode but i hope Sam gets his soul back before the finale so we still get the old Sammy for half a season at least...
