Someone on my flist posted a picspam and defence for their favourite SPN episode, and asked that others do the same.
So welcome to my picspam defence of Bloodlust as not only one of my favourite, but in my opinion, the best episodes of Supernatural.
Just hear the opening chords of "Back in Black" as The Impala in all it's porntastic beauty returns to the road.
"Woo! Listen to her purr. You ever heard anything so sweet?"
The return of Costume!Porn. Two costumes in the first five minutes? We are not worthy.
"Put the lotion in the basket." Snark!
Concerned Sammy. Dean's anger over John's death is palatable, and he's coming apart at the seams.
One of the most beautiful/painful Dean moments we've been given.
"He was just one of those guys. Took some terrible beatings -- just kept comin’. So you’re always saying to yourself, “He’s indestructible. He’ll always be around. Nothin’ can kill my dad.” And just like that…[He snaps his fingers.]…he’s gone. [He pauses for a long time.] I can’t talk about this to Sammy. [He forces a laugh.] No, I gotta keep my game face on. But, uh…truth is, I’m not handling it very well..."
Super awesome sexy fandom special guest Amber Benson.
I mean man... this whole scene. Compassionate Sammy defending the vamps. Hard-ass Dean holding the demon killing line. Sam challenging Dean on his bullshit. The punch. In other words - one half of why we watch this show... Brother Angst.
"You know what, you slap on this big, fake smile, but I can see right through it, ‘cause I know how you feel, Dean! Dad’s dead! And he left a hole, and it hurts so bad you can’t take it, but you can’t just fill up that hole with whoever you want to! It’s an insult to his memory."
And in the next breath, Protective!Dean. No one but no one fucks with Sammy.
Smackdown.
DEAN: Sam?
SAM: Yeah?
DEAN: Clock me one.
SAM: What?
DEAN: Come on. I won’t even hit you back. Let’s go. [He braces himself for a punch.]
SAM: [stunned] No.
DEAN: Let’s go, you get a freebie! Hit me, come on. [SAM scoffs.]
SAM: You look like you just went twelve rounds with a block of cement, Dean. I’ll take a rain check. [They reach the car.]
Brother love and moral ambiguity.
'nuff said.
