Finally, the real problem I had, and have been having for a long time: Mary. Ididn't think they could make her anymore unlikable.
When they first brought her back, I was worried how she would fit in, but was excited for the boys (especially Dean). Then I disliked her for constantly abandoning the boys, the "I need some time" and the whole MoL thing. But for a while I was like, ok maybe it's cool in a sense that IRL we long for someone/something and when we get it, it's not how we thought it would be. We all (boys and viewers) had expectations about Mary cause she was barely in their lives, and was presented as badass, but maternal, loving and (through John and Dean) almost a saint. So hey, I was down with it. But then she continued to put everything before her sons, she had no real development, there was no visible changes in the boys or their lives, and from being one of the best hunters (also wierd, but at least she had that), she became whatever, and a totally boring character.
The worst part is the acting wasn't even good. Like here, when instead of desperately shouting, you can barely hear her repeatedly say "jack, stop" in an almost flat tone. When Jack's finally done, she starts directly judging him (although she's done very questionable things too, like with MoL), even after him being visibly worried about what she's going to say. Now I do get that she wasn't mad about Jack killing him, rather then the form he did cause he was being cruel (I would of liked it a little longer or more visually stunning to cement his cruelty, but maybe that's just me), and that of course it's worrying cause it proves he's without his soul and impulsive and dangerous. But then she starts repeatedly telling him how he was wrong, and as a seasoned hunter not only failed to see the signs that she was in danger, but kept pushing him.
I mean, after asking him to take her home his answer is "I will. I will, just... tell me it's okay", that would've been enough to make me wary, but then he hits her with the "are you gonna tell them?" with that expression? yeah that's where you shut up, tell him he's right, and deal with it when you're in a safer place. Like come on, you know they are the most important people in his life (with Cass), and you are saying you are willing to do something that, in his head, would compromise that relationship and the way they look at him. And as if that is not enough, you're going to chase and badger him, when he's repeatedly telling you to leave him alone, stupidly failing again to see that he's in pain? Yeah, great plan irritating an already unstable Jack. That frustrated me beyond mesure, can't imagine him. They forget that soul or not, he's been here 2 years, without a childhood and normal interactions, of course he doesn't know how to deal with emotions, especially anger.
Anyway, from the way she was talking to the boys throughout the episode (like a farewell), I knew something would happen to her.
Now, that black screen and Jack whispering "Mary?"... chills!
