Okay! So I finished Moonlight and am finally getting to the two episodes of SPN I have saved up.
Okay, kids. Death Takes a Holiday? I SHRIEKED OUT LOUD AND DID A \o/ WHILE LYING PRONE ON MY BED WHEN SAM DID HIS S1 MOVING-SHIT-W/-HIS-MIND THING. BOTH MYSELF AND MY COMPUTER NEARLY HIT THE FLOOR. BAD SCENE, BECAUSE THEN I WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO CONCUSSED TO WATCH THE REST.
PAMELA! You are the bestest chick since Ruby V.1, and for that, I knew you were gonna die. And with the being the Sam Whisperer? Muy approval. (you also remind me of fic, which only affirms in my mind that the SPN writers are on flist. I approve of this, also.)
Boys as ghosts.
Dean- "Am I making you uncomfortable?"
Sam- "Get out of me."
Dean- "You're such a prude."
I just have this mental image of Jensen and Jared shooting soda out of their noses when reading this in the script.
Also:
Sam- "I'm not going all Fight Club on a twelve-year-old."
Poor kid. I knew that Sam knew that Dean knew that Sam knew that he had to lie to the kid, but it still sucked. :(
Tessa. Still all warm and motherly, after all this time. Even when you're being the voice of reason that no one wants to hear. Props, show. Props.
Alistair. I have an evil bastard quota, and he fills it nicely. ::thumbs up::
And then: THUNDAH!
And then: Dean- "WTF."
And then: Oh hai, Castiel! You're back! WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU. Oh, anti-angel wards? Well, ain't THAT a bitch? And, also, this? A win? Way to jinx it, noob.
And on to On the Head of a Pin. Already, I sensed an angel-heavy episode. Call me crazy.
INSTA-CASTIEL. That is service.
Return of the wings. Nicely done.
Uriel. Another ringer on my evil-bastard bell.
Oh, you want Dean for torture, you say? Uh, show? YOU DO REALIZE YOU NOT ONLY OWN FLIST, YOU ARE FLIST, RIGHT? Right.
I loved the looks Castiel kept giving Uriel before he went back to boring holes in the wall with his laser eyes of omg-blue. (actual color, for serious. would i lie to you?) There was obvious powerplay going on, Castiel just knowing that this wasn't right, but unable to go against orders. For now.
Poor Dean. He knew where this was going, and had it been anyone other than Alistair on the rack? He would have just been gone. (Oh, hai, Tom. You seem to have misplaced your mask. 'S cool, though, carry on.) You could see Alistair's goading dragging Dean back to himself, keeping him there. Cruel, because had he been able to lose himself in it, he would have stopped feeling, but probably worse for the demons in the long run. He may not have been able to stop himself, but he didn't just vanish into it. It may mean he can face it again and be even stronger.
On a purely fannish note, you can't deny the rampant Daddy issues. I mean, really.
Speaking of addicts. Sam. Sam, Sam, oh god, Sam. You just hit me in the gut. That's addiction, ladies and gentlemen. And Ruby V.2? Not on our side. She may be Darth Anna in terms of motivations, but that way lies madness, same as the path Castiel is on.
Oh, somebody help that boy, because he won't be able to stop by himself.
But it's still pretty fucking cool how Sam now is the weapon that Lilith was so afraid of.
But you know that even if there is victory, its gonna come at a price.
And then the rest of the episode was dedicated to Cass and just how bad-ass and lost he really is. When he spoke to Anna outside the Devil's Trap room, you could just see him wondering if this all meant that he was going to have to fall in order to understand things again. When he begged Anna to tell him what to do, I just went, "ow." He was a lost little boy trying to find something to believe in. Anything. And Anna, good girl, told him, "No."
All I could think when Cass was kneeling by the Devil's Trap was, "Castiel IS John Constantine." And his face when he closed the tap. He knew something was up.
And then Uriel pulled the knife, and Cass finally realized why he'd felt so confused.
Yay, angel vs. angel showdown. Yay, Anna deus ex machina (irony intended).
And then Dean. Ragging on Cass like he does Sam. "Build a decent Devil's Trap." Him crying when he found out all of this started with him. Him saying, "This is too big."
I've heard people say how this has to be like Dogma, and God is just off playing skeeball, somewhere. That's the only explanation I can come to. How? How will you fix this, show? I don't think you can.
Damn you show, because you've broke me.
I need a drink.
