Above is the address where there's an excerpt from a thriller called Broken.

this: http://www.livejournal.com/poll/?id=1307947

is an address for a poll re: whether his fans think Jensen's got the juice to play a serial killer.

I'd suggest reading the excerpt first then answering the poll. All opinions are deeply appreciate.

Thanks.

For about a month now I've been advising many of you that I'll soon be asking a favor. Thankfully you've not only patient but openly generous enough to say 'yes' without even asking what it was that I would ask of you. Thank you for that.

This is that moment. I ask that you read this information through to the end and act on it in whatever way your conscience dictates.

Thank you.

Some startling statistics:

In 2006 -

1. Three-quarters (75.9%) of child fatalities were caused by one or more parent.

2. 83% of victims are abused by parents or other family members.

3. Over 900,000 incidents of child abuse were reported.

4. It is estimated that this is only 1/3 of actual abuse cases that took place that year.

5. Every day it is estimated that 4 children die from abuse or neglect. 78% Of these fatalities occur in children UNDER the age of 4.

6. 48% of child abuse victims are boys, 51% are girls.

7. Child abuse knows no gender bias, no racial lines, no socioeconomic boundaries.

8. In 2006 - there were 78,120 documented cases of sexual child abuse, and 142,041 documented cases of physical abuse. (remember this is an estimated 1/3 of actual cases).

9. Of the reported number of rapes of children under the age of 12; 90% (NINETY PERCENT) KNEW the perpetrator.

10. Nearly 2/3 of people in treatment for drug abuse report being abused as children.

11. 1/3 of abused/neglected children will later do the same, perpetuating the cycle.

12. Children who expeirence abuse and neglect are 30% more likely to commit violent crimes.

For Example:

Albert DeSalvo - The Boston Strangler - Rapist/murderer - was abused as a child.

Albert Fish - Serial Child Rapist and Murderer. - Probable victim of abuse.

Donald "Pee Wee" Gaskins - killer of men women and children - was abused as a child.

Charles Manson - master manipulator and murderer - was abused and neglected as a child.

John Wayne Gacy - serial child rapist and killer - was abused as a child.

These are just a few, and some not even the most well known serial killers of OUR time. The list sadly goes on and on and on.

13. Annually, these numbers are on the rise.

14. Each and every one of us CAN do something to help change these facts in the years to come.

One of the things that we can do is to support institutions that help PREVENT Child Abuse. If we can PREVENT this atrocity, then we can alter the future for untold generations to come.

The following links will take you to either Amazon.com or Createspace.com and the page for a commercial fiction book called Broken.

It is an unapologetic journey inside the psyche of a serial killer caught in the vise grip of out of control impulses. Lust, hatred, and a forbidden love are the gateways to a sado-sexual killing spree in the midwest that comes to a head in a final confrontation in a blood soaked motel room.

1/3 of the author proceeds are earmarked for division between; The Child Abuse Prevention Center in Dallas, Tx.; Prevent Child Abuse America, out of Chicago, Il.; and VH1's Save The Music Foundation in New York. (To help keep music programs available to children in schools).

I ask not only that you help support these wonderful agencies and all the promise they strive to bring to the future, but that you forward this email to anyone you know who is interested in lending a hand and might not know exactly how they can do that.

You CAN make a difference for tomorrow in ways you never thought possible today.

Love, need you ask?.... (and a little lust thrown in for spice)

Look out! she shouted rocketing the dart across the bar just as he ducked. The dart sunk into the eye socket of the mummified looking creature, giving it just enough pause for Dean to roll out of the way, spring to his feet and swing with his bowie knife cutting the things head off in one fluid movement.

From the corner of her eye she saw Sam wrestling bare handed with another of these things... it seemed they just kept coming! Sammy Down! She cried sliding her throwing knife out of its sheath and flicking it easily into the back of the being's neck. Once again the creature was distracted enough, reaching for her knife lodged in between its vertebrae, for Sam to effectively behead it.

She stood at the pool table, leaning against it, holding a stick at the ready but apparently these guys didn't think of coming after her. All they seemed to want was the Winchester boys.

What am I? Chopped Liver? she felt herself ask and bolted awake in the chair beside the king size bed.

Scrubbing her face with her hands she shook off the dream and opened the door between their rooms. Her gaze fell on Sam who lay in his bed snoring softly, sleeping restfully. His bandages didn't look like they'd bled through too much. She closed the door softly and turned her attention to Dean who lay in her bed, a long though thankfully not deep rend across his chest from a sharpened ring.

HUGE SPOILER ALERT HERE IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE EP AND DON'T WANT DETAILS DON'T READ PLEASE!

LAST CHANCE

OKAY

This episode was a PERFECT 10 in my book.

Even Bela (by the way Krip... this doesn't excuse her, it just means that her presence did for this ep exactly what a supporting character is supposed to do...) Even Bela actually fit right into this episode in a perfect way. (Personally I still want her shipped back to the Middle East as quickly as possible).

There was nothing about this episode that wasn't positively Excellent! From Bobby's nightmare and finally a bit of his own back story... to Dean telling him he was a father figure to him. Which was a subtle reveal actually about some of Dean's deepest issues with John... and a nice bit of foreshadowing there about what was to come.

Dean's face-off with himself, the keeper of his doubts, his own literal inner Demon(s) and waking up to the realization that he DOES deserve more, I found to be hugely emotional.

And I do have to wonder now, how this will affect his relationship with Sam. His whole life has been about investing in his little brother and now he wants to live for himself... (this episode had me filled with nervousness and hope both from the moment I first heard what it was going to be about. Last year Krip... last year!).

So speculation is going to have to run absolutely rampant about the repercussions that are going to echo through their 'brotherhood', fortunately I don't think we're going to have to worry though, as we all know it's the brother dynamic that makes the show what it is... but

One of the things that I was actually speculating about while I was sleeping last night;

Is Dean finally going to start severing the apron strings between him and Sam?

AND Okay this is going to get a little twisty maybe... I'm only still on my first cup of coffee here...

The boys both know that Dean can't HELP find a way out of the contract with the demon or Sam dies, so just how technical does that get? Could it be something as passive and subtle as 'allowing' Sam to look for ways to help him? Or does it actually have to be an ACTIVE pursuit for Sam to wind up dead.

and... What if SAM is the holder of Dean's contract and he doesn't even know it? Like on a subconscious level or something? (and of course the Crossroad Demon wouldnt' be allowed to tell him because it might screw up the plans of hte 'higher ups' [or is that 'lower downs?] even further if he didn't come into it in his own way and time [ie his powers and which way he chooses to use them] cause if you go with biblical lore... even the Devil does God's bidding so why not lesser demons as well?)

Of course back in TM7 - Bobby pretty much told Sam, "You're not gonna find it in a book..." re: getting Dean out of the deal.

So maybe it has to be a matter of will... Dean KNOWS now that he doesn't deserve to go to hell... so maybe somehow the key to him NOT getting dragged down is borne of his own righteousness... the WILLING sacrifice he made for his BROTHER, (which of course would mean that the guy he saved from the deal in CB, might too have been able to escape since he did it for his wife's life... but that's neither here nor there...) the idea is that it was the selflessness of the act that may be brought into play when it comes time for the hounds to try and drag him down.

Course the pendant could have something to do with it too... I mean this IS Krip we're talking about here... and WeeSam said, "Uncle Bobby said it was REAL special...." I mean Forest for the Trees right? the answer's right in front of their faces all along? Just a thought and I know certainly one that is shared by many.

--

Okay back to the ep! I never would have figured that Sam was a fan of the movie Dreamscape. "Why Tommy Ray..." "Daddy?" AWESOME man.... absolutely LOVED it.. (and of course one of my FAVE movies from the 80's man Dennis Quaid... soo very tasty...ahem)

Jensen was hilarious as an uber-caffeinated Dean... twitchy much ? I mean wow! but I can relate.

At the end when Bobby asked Sam if he thought his own 'dream weaving' (great song 'Dream Weaver'by the way), and the quickness with which he picked it up might have had something to do with his psychic abilities... Sam just said, "no... I dn't think so..." but the look on his face was wonderfully telling... in that perhaps he'd been wondering the same thing himself or even that he knew maybe it was. The thing of it IS he DIDN"T DENY still having powers, (which he tried to do in BDaBR when Kubrick and Greely had him taped up in the chair). Which in my opinion means that something in the Sammyverse has given him reason to think that perhaps they ARE still there...

Krip is engaging us in some serious sleight of hand here... keeping our focus on Dean's Deal and HIS story while I'm certain dropping tiny hints about what's going on with Sam... that when all is said and done I wonder if he's going to draw it all together into a possible flashback episode that's going to point out exactly those key moments when Sam started heading down the dark path OR began to test/manipulate/ explore - his powers and or ability to control his own destiny.

Sam? Talk to us... Let's us know what's goin on in that freaky noggin' of your huh?

I got a HUGE kick out of his nearly wet dream about Bela... that's just SO wrong considering everything she's put those boys... well Dean through...

and Dean's "Man you were OUT! And making some seriously happy noises over there... who were you dreaming about? Angelina Jolie? Brad Pitt?"

but even more positively hilarious when Dean asked him to come over there and help him, the "In a minute" read: I gotta let this woody wilt first bro... (Jared you are seriously growing more and more delightful, and those facial expressions... MAN you must be doing some serious mirroring with Jensen... cause both of you are just absolutely DEAD ON!)

and OH MY FREAKING GOD... there was nothing but "C" bombs going off in my living room when we found out the B**H Stole The Freaking COLT!... (sorry about all those Nana I was just really really ... you know... ).

I want to see Dean PUNCH her. Maybe even a couple of times... Once for shooting Sam, Once for daring to touch the car, and the other for putting their LIVES at risk AGAIN... by stealing the Colt... She DESERVES to get decked repeatedly. He wouldnt' hesitate if it was a guy, so I'm thinkin' "this isn't gender studies sweetheart" ... She deserves a good old fashioned Beat-down.

But I do admit that in this ep, Bela's character fit in excellently. FINALLY (but like I said up there... / personally I want her gone... I know I'm just one of a many with that opinion but... please just get rid of her please...there IS NO REDEMPTION nor should there be!).

I can't believe I"m saying this but this episode has slid right up to the top, even surpassing the Christmas ep, but just by a hair (cause y'can't beat WeeChesters! and Woobie Sam or Dean).

The scene where Dean was fighting, and fighting for himself... literally just squeezed my heart so tight I almost felt tears...I would have liked more but that might have lessened the impact... we know Dean doesn't have much patience for himself or what he perceives to be his own shortcomings so to see him blast a hole in the chest of that part of him that was forcing him to FACE those truths is wholly believeable and IN character... then of course that his 'inner demon' literally became a Demon... I mean... perfectly literal and visceral...

and hey I gotta say... there was HUGE symbolism in the way Sammy was staked to the ground... almost crucifix perfect in fact... By the way Sam? Did you KILL Jeremy? It sure looked that way to me... and since I'm pretty sure you did and am going to go with that... well at least I can still hold to my 'blood innocence' stance since he was a killer in his own right... (Are you going to make it harder and harder for me to hold onto that thread Eric? Hmm?)

Anyway, imho this ep was perfection. I don't even know who wrote it... and for that I'm sorry I can't give you proper 'Props'... but I hope you get the point anyway.

As always deepest appreciation to the Kast and Krew... and special love for Jensen and Jared.

Thank you all for making this THE best ep of the season (So Far).

once again... it's only mho.
