There were also many similiarities in that dream and when Bela actually showed up. I remember the line "I'm full of surprises" being mentioned both times, as well as the coat. I guess I was too busy getting squicked out to notice the tie in to Sam's psychic abilities. I see foreshadowing for sure, since it was heavily used in other places in the episode. As for how far Bela is linked to the mythology, I've always thought she was in deeper than what's been revealed because of the "spirits" she contacts all the time. There has to be a tie in to Sam somehow, and I do wonder how. Hopefully by season's end we'll have a better idea. Thanks for sharing the possibilities! 710899@blogcritics.org Mon, 14 Apr 2008 23:53:44 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/04/12/155922.php#comment-710872 Alice- I have a less horrifying take on the Sam-Bela dream: Sam's psychic abilities are returning, but he's not yet aware of them. He dreamt that Bela would show up and he would get screwed. She did exactly that in stealing the Colt. And how about her line that she was there for Sam? Is that potential foreshadowing that Bela's tie into Supernatural's mythology is linked to Sam? I wonder if the relative she killed might have also been a part of the psychic kids generation. 710872@blogcritics.org Mon, 14 Apr 2008 22:09:57 EDT
