This crazy Martin takes a lot on himself, he's been in a nuthouse for God knows how many years, and then he came out and immediately let's make a tough guy out of himself, like a seasoned hunter. Well, his motivation certainly came out of nowhere. It's good that they didn't pull it and sawed it off.
@Gevorg: This moment is very logical. He is a former psycho, he wants to return to the craft and prove that he is still in business, therefore it is easier to manage him. And Sam clearly doesn't need extra people to know about Dean's relationship with the vamp, Martin can be pressured, practicing hunters can't.
@Iamfdrvv: Are you sure Sam is a cretin? Martin is a cretin here, and Dean is a bit. I built such a relationship with my brother when unquestioning trust is impossible - get it, sign it, it would be strange to expect another relationship.
People like Benny are not given a choice and a second chance, although we all see that he deserves it, it's a pity that everything turned out this way.
Some kind of bullshit with the plot has begun, the characters of the characters are slowly beginning to contradict themselves. If earlier the plot just moved inexplicably, the characters remained integral, now everything is just bursting at the seams.
To some extent, I understand Sam's distrust of Benny. No matter what, Benny is still a monster. Although he has embarked on the right path. Let's all remember Ruby, whom Sam trusted, thinking that she was on their side. And how did it end up? And Dean, of course, is doing a great job here - he protects a friend, someone without whom he would not have gotten out of Purgatory soon. But at the same time, he forgets how he himself did not believe the monster who embarked on the path of correction, and killed, despite the requests of his brother (I do not remember the name of that girlfriend of Sam). So everything is very difficult with Benny in the series: the audience is on his side because they see the truth, but the characters do not always understand the purity of this vampire's thoughts.
I'm already used to flashbacks, which sometimes turn into snot, the beginning of the season was just like that. But this series was strong, I've never felt so sorry for anyone like Benny in this series.
Well, that just says that he's not normal. he is traumatized and behaved inappropriately. I kind of don't mean that he's some kind of super bad person. but the hunt affected him and changed him for the worse, he became insane.
@id_319327178: I think he may not have gone crazy, but just became mentally unstable, especially since "hunting" in itself is a lot of stress, he got involved in the showdown too early. I should have listened to Sam and stayed out of trouble. Although Sam himself also set him up to some extent by calling him to work so soon after leaving the dope. Well, for Hard Drives, it's already the norm to involve people in their problems, regardless of the price they pay for it.
How this Martin infuriated me, he came out of a mental hospital and imagined himself to be a superhero, but in fact some kind of psychopath. It serves him right.
How it was supposed to end. Benny's on his way out of town, a call from Elizabeth's number. Martin: I took your great-granddaughter hostage, come back in 45 minutes or she's fucked! BENNY: OK. (He dials the number). Hello, the police? In a cafe like this, some psycho with a huge machete threatens the waitress, hurry up! (He drives further out of the city)
@zadraleks: Next, Martin tells the cops that they've got the wrong guy, and that Benny is a vampire... and he goes back to the mental hospital for 100,500 years. Happy ending.
Eh. Interestingly, Dean would also feel that way if Sam had a vampire as a friend or something. It's generally such a sensitive topic for them always to be friends with something supernatural (besides Castiel, of course). We know that Benny is a normal dude. And Sam wouldn't even listen. Although this is their eternal problem. Haha. Sometimes they don't want to tell each other anything, but when one of them wants to, the other one doesn't want to listen. The eternal circle :)
Just look at Dean's face when Benny said "You got Sam" to him. His look says a lot. There was nothing heroic or human left in Sam. Ruined the chance of a normal life for Benny. He dragged the mentally unstable Martin into this, allowed his brother to be knocked out, and even tied to the battery. And then he took and left Martin alone in the woods, stealing his car, knowing at the same time that there were vampires in the area. This was the moment where Martin finally lost his mind. That's why Martin's death is also on Sam. And Elizabeth got some more stress. But Sam (and the writers) don't care, he didn't even want to do anything.
@Nick24: My God, at least someone wrote about these inappropriate actions of Sam! When Dean went to Benny's a few episodes ago, he almost had to ask Sam for time off.
Does anyone know what happened to Jensen during filming? A bump on his forehead, which they tried to cover up at first, a broken chin, large abrasions on his knuckles - as if he had fallen off a bicycle, or something, and what is the strangest thing, not only in this series. It would have been planned according to the plot - they would have done it only in one episode
What a hypocrite Dean is... every season I'm more and more amazed. When I was a teenager, I watched superstars - I didn't even notice, I adored Dean. But in adulthood, I decided to reconsider. Kill Crowley at all costs, even when he's in Kevin's mother's body? Yes, please. Put Crowley in Sam's body and give him 1000 opportunities to kill him and Sam's body - no, you don't understand, this is different. To kill Sam's girlfriend, who for the sake of a child stumbled for the first time in her life and stopped? Yes, please, Dean is a hunter, you need to kill monsters, even those who are trying to survive. Are the hunters trying to kill Benny? Are you freaking out? He's a good guy and killed a hunter in self-defense, you can't touch him. And these are just isolated examples... it's convenient to live with double standards 👍🏻 No, in this series, I personally understand both Benny and the hunters, but not Dean, since I do not understand and do not perceive hypocrisy.
@AanastyaAa: this is a problem of perception. Not all viewers can understand that the character sees and knows less than they do, because Sam is not shown flashbacks about Dean and Benny, their communication is not shown on the screen after returning from Purgatory, etc. Within the framework of the information that Sam has, within the framework of the behavior model that Dean chose in when communicating with him, he acted quite logically. Not very smart, but logical.
A terrible episode 🥲 Sam did a disgusting thing, of course: he could have been quite understandable if they had actually stumbled upon these murders themselves, but hiring another hunter to follow Benny is just a tinny rat act. He also proudly informed Dean that Benny was finally "caught" 🙄 Well, it's a classic that no one listens to anyone. I love Benny and Dean's relationship precisely because they really communicate. And Dean and Sam always have a lot of emotions that prevent them from understanding each other, they just hurt each other all the time.
I feel sorry for Benny, I really like him, but most likely he will not live long, people like him will not be able to live normally for a long time, he will be constantly hunted. One good thing is that Dean is always on his side. And Sam is making me nervous this season, acting like a jealous girl..
That is, Sam messed up (involved Martin with surveillance, who is not all right with his head), which ruined Benny's chance for a normal life, the girl almost died, then from a text message (I thought at first that it was Amelia's husband who sent it) threw everything and left, but he was offended... just, What. Dean surprised me with a text message. But considering that Sam allowed him to be knocked out and chained to the battery, this is still an innocent prank. It's a strange situation in general. Why do you need such a partner, who is not something that you cannot rely on, you still have to gnaw out a chance for yourself to just be heard. Perhaps there is a dead end here and we need to disperse. Instead of continuing to gnaw the cactus together.
Handcuff Dean... It is foolish to hope that he will not get rid of them. They won't even detain you. 😅 I was very sorry for Benny. I liked this character from the first episodes.
And Martin still shouldn't have left the walls of the asylum. He belongs there.
, it's good that he's okay, well, physically...
Benny was so handsome. 😭
Dean too: betrays Sam...
And Benny is so cute and still looks like Kuzma in some way😹
Although Sam himself also set him up to some extent by calling him to work so soon after leaving the dope. Well, for Hard Drives, it's already the norm to involve people in their problems, regardless of the price they pay for it.

"I'm offended by you, I don't trust you."
Damn.. everything is cool, but this topic is already annoying
