Aah, Croatoan. The midseason finale of s2. There’s just... too much in this episode to sum it up tidily in a little synopsis like this. I really tried to keep the podcast under an hour and a half and came SO CLOSE but still failed (don’t worry, it was over two hours before I edited it >.>). So instead, I’m just gonna cackle about the fact John had a crackpot theory about the Roanoke Colony disappearance that Azazel probably laughed his ass off over as he planned out this whole test for the Winchesters.
Is Sam immune to the weirdo demon virus? (yes) Do people who have the demon virus behave as expected? (yes) Can the demons control the situation once everyone is infected, manipulating them not just to become ravening monsters who kill everything but who are still capable of manipulation to follow a specific agenda and accomplish complex tasks? (yes)
(i mean the croatoan infected were methodical and not mindless, yet still followed multi-step orders like “guard the bridge” and “do not let the Winchesters leave town” and specifically isolating Sam so that he a) understood that he had been specifically and directly infected with the virus and b) could be proven to have been immune to the virus all along. MULTIPLE infected people had an opportunity to infect him and chose not to. He could’ve been infected without even knowing it, surreptitiously, and yet no, they specifically wanted him to KNOW he was being deliberately targeted and infected. SINISTER! and PURPOSEFUL!)
This is s2′s “it’s all about the blood” that functions like s6′s “it’s all about the souls.” Because yeah, it’s all about the blood-- from Sam’s demon blood infection to the blood bowl phone demons use. Because that’s exactly what Azazel did to Sam by feeding him his blood. He turned him into a phone receiver for manipulative visions.
OKAY. Before this turns into an essay, here are things referenced in this week’s episode that may be of interest:
