*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

'Sex and Violence' is an extremely well written episode with some unexpected twists and a lot of guts. Though there are strong homo erotic overtones and obvious hints that indicate that the bond between Sam and Dean Winchester might be more than just a brotherly one, it lets the viewer enough room to choose to overlook the sexual aspect.

Still, you have to change your angle of looking at the scenes just a tiny little bit to recognize the ambiguity that lies there. From Dean's jealous behavior when he checks Sam's cellular to the verbal confrontation that can easily be interpreted in more ways than one.

When the siren, who takes the form of the victim's perfect desire and therefore uses a strip club as hunting ground, chooses Dean as victim, it (surprisingly) impersonates for him a man. And not just any man, but a man who can replace Sam. So apparently Sam, as he has been, is Deans perfect desire.

The scene where Dean, Sam and the siren share a very intense moment up to Sams 'infection' just makes it all the more clear that the story is being told on more levels than one.

Cathryn Humphris, the writer, did an excellent job with this episode. I definitely like where she's going with it, and it takes a lot of sensitiveness to go this path that far without alienating those who would be repelled by seeing this all laid out in the open.

Thank you again for an outstanding experience.
