Supernatural 6.19: "Mommy Dearest."
* Meg's crucifixion happened to be in the open. Ha. It's funny, because she's a DEMON. Being CRUCIFIED (on a torture table).
* Okay, so they were just not being subtle at all about the "Crowley lives" twist. AT ALL.
* "Heaven must be missing an angel." - oh, sports bad, douche, you have no idea how accurate a statement that actually is. Well. If my "Lucifer and Lilith twisted and perverted Eve into being what she is now" idea holds any kind of water.
* AHAHAHAHAHA, "You Sexy Thing" is playing when Eve goes into the sports bar to work her magic. I love it.
* ………… oh my god, seriously. She just said, "I gave him a gift." Turning people into demons is GIVING THEM A GIFT. On the one hand: HOLLA, DEAD DEMONS GO TO PURGATORY, THAT MEANS THAT RUBY AND LILITH AND ALASTAIR AND AZAZEL AREN'T REALLY DEAD, THE APOCALYPSE JUST SHOOK THEM LOOSE LIKE HALLUCINATION-ZAZEL SAID IN "EXILE ON MAIN STREET," AND THEY CAN COME BACK AND MY TEARS OVER RUFUS HAVE TURNED INTO TEARS OF HAPPINESS FOREVER.
* Please for the Lilith, though. She and Eve need to have destructo nookie.
* … also, my thesis about humanity in Supernatural has been totally Kripke'd. I know it's really silly to assume it might be true, but … hey, anyone from the SPN team who is reading my Livejournal and has probably found me from my fanfiction somehow, I'm fresh out of college with a focus in creative writing. I have a quick wit, an extensive knowledge of literature, religion, and pop culture, I can make extensive plot outlines and as you might have guessed, I love Sam and Dean. Hell, if you need someone to get coffee, I can totally get coffee. I can probably not make it because I'm incompetent with all things culinary that aren't like … making toast. Making box-mix cake. Making scrambled eggs. … but hey, I can bring you scrambled eggs and bagels in the morning and offer lots of fresh new ideas for things you could do with the characters and the show, and most of them don't actually involve all of the sex that Dean and Cas should be having.
* Or all of the things that I want Lilith to do sexually to people.
* Oh god, Supernatural, I love it when you do the musical dissonance thing, since, maybe second only to the "Don't Stop Me Now" scene in Shaun of the Dead (which wins for being brilliantly conceived, furthering the plot, having excellent dialogue over the destruction, AND being perfectly choreographed), you do it better than anyone else. Like, "Do You Love Me?" playing over the soldiers shooting up Croats, "Spirit in the Sky" playing while Dean and Sam trekked into River Pass, Co. … really, almost all of Show's use of background music is pitch-perfect and under-appreciated (especially stuff like the transitions between Dean and Sam over Skynyrd's "Simple Man" at the beginning of 5.03), but I find moments like these to be the most fun because of the juxtaposition.
* ahaha, and she is sitting there, drinking a Bloody Mary and looking so pleased with herself. CAN I JUST APPLAUD THIS CREW AND CREATIVE TEAM FOR THEIR ATTENTION TO DETAIL ESPECIALLY WITH REGARDS TO THE CREATION OF CLEVER VISUAL PUNS. … well. Okay, I don't know if this is a PUN, as such, but it is a really clever, surprisingly subtle recognition of the history of Eve and Mary in the post-Biblical Christian writings, where Eve is made out to be the horrible fallen woman and Mary is the perfect mother, born of a virgin and giving birth as one herself (if you believe the Catholic dogma, anyway).
I'm going to get all lit crit-y for a moment here: Eve is drinking a Bloody Mary, and in so doing, is symbolically swallowing/consuming/destroying the mother who replaced her, reclaiming her spot as mother of the world. But she wants to fill the world with monsters instead of humans, who, as we know from last season, are God's chosen creatures, and she presumably used to be one, since … "Mother of All" + being named EVE … I mean, fuck's sake, seriously. They're not saying it outright, but given the other trends that we see in SPN's monsters, Eve would have HAD to be human first, before giving birth to the monsters.
And the thing is, she's protesting against two major things that I can see. One concern is very validA, and one is kind of selfish, since without Eve forsaking humanity for monsters, Mary wouldn't have been necessary. And if Chuck is God and Becky is his virgin love, then Show seems to be implying that Jesus's mission of trying to save humanity kind of failed, at least it did if they needed the Winchesters and the hypothetical Jesus 2.0 that Becky has. Maybe. I WILL BELIEVE IN JESUS 2.0 UNTIL PROVEN WRONG OKAY.
A: Said valid point is thus: God is constantly AWOL, which, you know, people want explanations for. The best explanation, in terms of ones that resolve the issue, is actually IN the Bible, in the Book of Job, where God basically says, "Bitch, seriously? You think a thing like you can understand a thing like me?" and is pretty much an eldritch abomination; it doesn't answer the questions, but it resolves the issue for most people because there's an inherent logical correctness in asking, "You think a thing like you can understand a thing like me?" in reference to God. Of course, there are always some people who anthropomorphize God and there are some people, like me (and Lucifer, incidentally), who go, "Well, I don't care if I'm a human and you're God, you need to answer to your creations now and just because you're an eldritch whatever doesn't mean you're worth more than me." And we ask more questions and … yeah, this issue can't really be resolved, but good on Eve for taking the issue on.
* You know, arguably, Eve hasn't even really abandoned humans as her children - she just wants to … okay, well she has. But she thinks she's making them better by turning them into monsters, and she's misguided, but the thing is … a lot of the worst enemies the boys have faced (Lucifer, Lilith, Azazel, Alastair, Ruby … okay, so the demons, and the angels, really, considering Michael and Zachariah and Raphael) legitimately thought they were making the world a better place by trying to change or destroy the humans, which is why they were so dangerous.
* "Why's it always gotta be me that makes the call? It's not like Cas lives in my ass. DUDE'S BUSY." ahahahaha, THE ONE TIME DEAN STARTS SHOWING SOME RESPECT FOR CAS, HE JUST RANDOMLY SHOWS UP. AND TAKES DEAN FROM BEHIND IN A MANLY FASHION. WHEN DEAN IS SAYING SOMETHING THAT COULD BE READ AS SUBTEXT.
* "Cas, get out of my ass!" "I was never in … your …" I'm cackling here. Don't mind me.
* LENORE. ♥ I love you, Amber Benson. and I love Lenore. And - "I remember your hunter friend almost killed me." "Well if it makes you feel any better, he turned into a vampire and I chopped his head off." "With razor wire - wicked!" (Incidentally, "Fresh Blood" was one of my favorite episodes, and that was one of my favorite Sam moments.)
* "It's her voice, in our heads, what it does to us … So they left, started killing again. … Don't look so impressed. I was hiding in a basement; not exactly Club Med. You don't know how hard it is, not to give in. … Everyone gives in."
* Why does it always come down to "can't or won't"?
* erjgejtghfgsdkfrhgeg, LENORE, BB. D: And Cas is all just, "We needed to move this along. :|" DFKHGEJ, LENOOOOORE, THOUGH.
* "Well, I was expecting more Zombieland and less Pleasantville."
* "It is a computer." "No! A computer has BUTTONS!" THANK YOU BOBBY.
* "Mom's making you limp?" "… Figuratively yes." First of all, omg, I love that Cas is still frustrated by human idiomatic speech and all, "What is wrong with you people, why can't you just say what you mean instead of making me try to decipher what you're saying, I don't have fucking time for this. :|" Second, ahahahahaha, THEY AREN'T EVEN TRYING TO MAKE THIS SUBTEXT ANYMORE, OH MY GOD. IT'S LIKE HE'S FRUSTRATED THAT DEAN IS POTENTIALLY INSULTING HIS SEXUAL POTENCY. IT'S OKAY, BB, I THINK YOU'RE A RAGING SEX BEAST.
* Awwww, Dean hurting Cas's feelings. And Sam is the sense. And Cas is just like, "why do you have to be mean? :["
* "I have a … painful burning sensation. :|"
* Bobby is a fucking pro at talking out of his ass like a fed.
* Okay, how did they end up stealing goddamn classic cars in Bupkis College Town, Oregon? Can't these kids ever steal, like, a Prius or a used Toyota or something?
* "I'm fairly unpracticed with firearms …" "You know who whines? Babies." … Dean, your insecurity about not being the dominant one in this relationship is showing, and it's precious. But stop being mean.
* … holy hell, multiple Eds. There's like seven of them, counting the corpse in the doctor's office. … and one of them is Marshall, the friend from earlier. … they turned into shifters? Okay, well, the boys think they did.
* And they found a fucking massacre scene at the bar. A vampire/wraith? EVE IS MAKING HYBRIDS. "Congrats, you discovered it; you get to name it." "Jefferson Starship." I LOVE IT WHEN DEAN BREAKS OUT THE CLASSIC ROCK REFERENCES.
* "Because … they're horrible and hard to kill! :D" Oh, Dean. He's so pleased with himself for that terrible name. ♥
* "But … why are all the Starships dead? :\"
* CAS LOOKS SO CONFUSED ABOUT THE HANDCUFFS. HE'S LIKE "YOU ARE NOT DEAN, WHY ARE YOU MANHANDLING ME."
* THEY ARE FIGHTING IN HANDCUFFS BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST THAT FUCKING AWESOME. DEAN TO THE RESCUE.
* AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, THEY'RE WATCHING BOBBY AND CAS INTERROGATE THE GUY. LIKE ON A POLICE PROCEDURAL. WHICH DEAN HATES.
* "You are wasting your time, you stupid herd of cattle."
* So, uh … that poignant shot of the copy machine? What is it with Supernatural hating copy machines, between this and the copy machine of doom in "My Heart Will Go On"? I mean, come on, writers, I hate them too, but … they're not evil.
* Cas … sdjfgrhergjeg, Cas bb. He's so concerned with the greater purpose, and Dean is so cavalier and not caring and WHY DO YOU HURT YOUR ANGEL SO MUCH, DEAN. YOU ARE JUST DRIVING HIM AWAY WITH YOUR EMPATHY FOR THESE KIDS WHO ARE EERILY LIKE YOU AND SAM.
* MORE CAS AND BOBBY BONDING MOMENTS. I LOVE CAS AND BOBBY BONDING MOMENTS. "They won't take long."
"You don't know that. They may find more wayward orphans along the way." HOW ARE YOU SO GOOD, MISHA? WHY MUST YOU MAKE MY HEART HURT LIKE THIS?
"Don't get cute."
"Right. Pardon me for highlighting their crippling and dangerous empathetic response with sarcasm." It's all the more heartbreaking when you're being sarcastic, Cas. YOU'RE SO HUMAN AND YET SO NOT AND YOU JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND BUT YOU CAN'T BECAUSE YOU HAVE A WAR TO WIN AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
* … ekfekgh3rh3hfe THAT MEANINGFUL LOOK ON CAS'S FACE BOTH AT THE IDEA OF TORTURE AND THE "YOU DON'T LET SAM AND DEAN WINCHESTER DO ANYTHING" CONCEPT. WHAT DOES IT MEAN.
* UNEXPLAINED SCREAMING AND BLOOD ON CAS'S HANDS. CAS STOP SOUL-FISTING MONSTERS, OKAY?
* … oh god, oh god, the load up scene and the stalking down the road scene are shot so similarly to different scenes in "The End." And it makes me so happy.
* … wow, Dean, this is one of the worst fucking plans you've ever come up with. "lololololol, we're going to use ourselves as bait."
* Eve, why you so badass? Seriously, I hate the implications of a woman in charge being evil, but … I love her so much. Can I keep her forever?
* "Really, sister? Dragons." "Sorry, I dusted off a few of the old classics." SHE IS THE DEAN OF MONSTERS.
* … I really love the Mother Of The Year defense, actually. The attempts on her children's life sent her into war, or rather, if my theses have any weight to them, went and aggravated her latent desires. fkrwgerghergh, MARY. WHY IS SHE USING MARY. TO MANIPULATE THEM, OBVIOUSLY. AND BECAUSE SAMANTHA SMITH IS A STONE FOX.
* "It's Crowley I want dead." "Well you're too late, there. That limey mook rusted months ago."
* "It's about the souls." "What about them?" "Their power, you simple little monkey."
* … Eve is seriously the biggest fucking badass ever. I'm in LOVE with her - like, legitimately.
* Also, if monsters/perverted humans go to Purgatory … it's not said in Show, but the implication based on the
* OH NO. LITTLE RYAN IS GOING TO ASFKWJGERHGEHGDFKBFSFGK HE WENT COMPLETELY FUCKING APE-SHIT.
* "You find him, bring him to me, I let you live." / "Bonus, I won't kill your friends."
* "I'm older than you, Castiel. I know what makes angels tick." … so, wait, the implication there is that Eve (and, thus, Lilith, who came before Eve) is older than Cas.
* … oh my GOD, Dean, you BADASS.
* oh, god, SPECIAL EFFECTS TEAM, YOU BIGGER BADASSES.
* OH GOD, CASTIEL, YOU BEAUTIFUL NUCLEAR WEAPON.
* "We kill the Wicked Witch, she still wins."
* ASDLWKFJRGEJVELFEJWBWGBRGBW SULFUR. SULFUR SULFUR DEMONS. CROWLEY. WJIEFEROGJWSDFKGHEFG.
* nnnnnnnnnnnngh, IT HURTS SO GOOD. "How did Crowley get away? I mean, it's not like Cas to make mistakes like that … unless he meant to." PAAAAAAAIN. CRYING FOREVER. IT HURTS.
* EVEN THOUGH I KNEW IT WAS COMING, THE BIG REVEAL MAKES ME WANT TO SOB AND HOLD CAS FOEVER.
* That being said - ahahaha, Crowley, you brilliant son of a bitch, I love the musical book-ends to the episode. I believe in miracles, … you sexy thing to How long until you believe in miracles? AND AND AND. IT'S BY JEFFERSON STARSHIP.
* ONTO THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING.
* Okay, so they were just not being subtle at all about the "Crowley lives" twist. AT ALL.
* "Heaven must be missing an angel." - oh, sports bad, douche, you have no idea how accurate a statement that actually is. Well. If my "Lucifer and Lilith twisted and perverted Eve into being what she is now" idea holds any kind of water.
