this week's Supernatural

Aaaah, I was so squicked by this ep, not because of the maggots, though those were vaguely gross too, but because of the eye stuff. At least they didn't go for actually drawing Sam's eye out on screen a bit via special effects, which after all in itself wouldn't cause the eye to be damaged permanently, so they could have escalated the tension even more. But either way someone doing something to your eye, especially while you're awake, is very much a scary horror for me. I feel huge anxiety even before plain eye exams. When they operated on my retina they offered to do it with just a local anesthesia while I was awake or with a full anesthesia-- you can easily guess which one I picked, anesthesia risks or not. Does really anyone want to be awake while they fix something in their eye from the back of the eyeball?!? ::shudder:: Sam's eyes being forced open and then the scoop thing coming closer was bad enough. I had to look away, hide under my blanket, and fast forward a bit.

When it comes to the end of the MOTW, I thought they should have tried dismemberment or a shredder or cremation or something like that to kill the doctor before deciding that the only solution is to bury him alive because he can't be killed by being shot, having his neck broken or heart removed or other regular methods. I actually wondered why John didn't cremate him after removing the heart. Being buried alive doesn't seem that secure over the long haul, also kind of cruel, even if he is an awful killer, I'm not sure he deserves this.

Otherwise I'm not fond that they gave Bella an abuse victim background, though that she had also made a deal and time was running out for her was a good twist. And I liked how desperate Sam is becoming. I wondered though how this kind of organ replacement immortality would help Dean to get out of the demon deal. I mean, it's not like he was in danger of dying without the demon. So would the hellhounds be unable to get at him in a newly improved Frankenstein body, thus eliminating the method of him going to hell? I didn't quite understand that.
