So. They did it again. Maybe it wouldn't truly be Supernatural if they didn't kill off some beloved characters (or even un-loved characters) somewhere in the season. So much for making a vid at the end of the season for all those characters who survived. So far I have Bobby and Rufus.
I cried. I admit it. Particularly being a mother of a daughter who looks like a younger version of Jo (well, she's blond and innocent looking!). I actually really felt that scene. Though I don't usually like being manipulated to tears quite as much as that (I hated "Marley & Me" for that very reason)- but I accepted it because at least Show gave them a sending off. Not a sudden, you're dead! (Like poor Ash and many others).
Cas is growing on me bit by bit. I liked him in this. And I loved Lucifer. Mark P. friggin' oozes that charisma and he totally sells Lu for me. I liked that we really got to see some of his nastiness. Ooh and his decaying vessel. I can just imagine how awful that must be for the host.
And Sam and Dean? Oh boys. They are still at odds with each other aren't they. Though at least they were able to share a smile about it. I figure they (Show) need to keep their relationship unresolved so they have something to work with at the end of the season. It's all I can imagine. Gone are those moments of great concern when one on them is hurt. When was the last time we actually saw that? Dean's death end of season 3? Though I am glad that Sam at least checked his pulse. (yes, yes... I live for those bro!moments. It's what makes this show so special).
Oh and I'm sorry. I couldn't by wooby, panic stricken Dean. He's concerned, I get that but this is a man who's been to hell, who's fought god knows how many monsters, lost many loved ones and was very recently the man who kept his game head on in Good God Y'all when Sam was in peril. Or am I being too hard? Maybe this was a moment for Bobby and Dean to share a kinda father and son bonding moment? .... Nah. I'm not sure I can buy that just yet. I would love to have seen both of them harden to the situation, show how professional they are and then maybe have a brief glimpse of their inner turmoil.
I enjoyed this ep though. Great to see Show close the 4th wall and show us a hunt and some cool shots (LOVED reaper shots). And something about having a cross roads on an underpass?! Yeah, that was cool.
And I LOVED seeing Ellen and Jo again. Just when fandom seems to have warmed to them (I think), they get rid of them. A shame.
R.I.P Ellen & Jo. :( Think you might need your own special vid. <3
