Yes, this review is late.  I've only read my sister's reaction, so I have no idea what the rest of fandom thought.  Oh well.  This is what happens when you get sick.  The Internet gets put on hold.  (And I know it's late when iTunes beat me to the punch.  This episode is already availble.  Wow.  Way to be efficient.)

            “Born Under a Bad Sign” was written by Cathryn Humphris.  Ms. Humpris co-wrote "Dead Man's Blood" with Mr. X-Files guy, John Shiban, and wrote the incredibly, fabulously, awesome "The Usual Suspects."  After last week’s snoozer, I think Ms. Gamble seriously needs to BRING IT if she wants to remain the fangirl favorite.

            So, to set up my reaction, we must turn back to last week.  Last week?  Not my favorite episode in many, many ways, but that isn’t the point of this post.  Let’s just say that I was disappointed after coming off of the most kick-ass non-Kripke episode ever.  So, it was a welcome relief to see some action this week.  I liked it.  Lots.  Evil!Sam?  Awesome.  Jared Padalecki brought the house and rocked the hell out of being evil.  Season Two!Sammy is all kinds of hot, evil or not.  I don’t know what flavor of Gatorade that boy has been drinking, but DAMN.
