Trivia first - I thought of you the moment I saw the Changing Channels wall paper and that clock! You, and the echo of Sam saying you're gonna need a bigger mouth...
I'm with you on really loving this episode. It reawakened all sorts of speculation and theorising in me that has been dormant for too long. I'm taking the last 3 episodes as a package that has woken up my excitement for the show.
I'm loving Amara, how she's retaining that sense of being apart and different and definitely dangerous, through her incarnations. I think each of the actresses they've had so far have been excellent. I'm loving the ambiguity in her relationship with Dean, and yes, his confusion which is growing with time rather than diminishing. I felt the second time he went for her there was no conviction there that he would succeed, it looked to me more like going through the motions because he had to.
But overall, as I've said on my journal - a big thumbs up from me!
I thought of you the moment I saw the Changing Channels wall paper and that clock!
I was happy! And surprised because it's such memorable wall paper. They also re-used the outside brick wall and that floor sure looked familiar.
I confess I haven't been that interested in Amara until name - mainly because it was much clearer about what was going on there. And it's not that I needed clarity as such, I just wanted it to be more interesting than what I thought we were going to be getting. I hope they can keep up the momentum. :)
I think the floor is from the episode with Lucifer where he said the room looked like a guy's public restroom where Sam acknowledges Lucifer for help with locating Dean. I can't remember the ep title. I thought of you as soon as I saw the wallpaper. The room art was pretty cool too.
I really liked this episode but I wasn't really sure why. You actually explained to me why I loved it so much lol Thank you! Excellent summary & yea wallpaper!
I love your wonderful break-down of this ep! It seems like strangely simple things, enjoying the violence and action of Cas vs. Metatron, Sam vs. demons. But it was so nicely done, and that spark of humanity in both of them was beautiful. Especially with Dean there to push Cas and Sam into thinking about why those people deserve mercy

It's curious that they've taken Dean back to "forgetting" what it is to be merciful. He's been quick to kill for a while now - he seems to always have a new reason. Hopefully they're beginning to address that.
but as a viewer, I NEED to know that these things are being considered.
Yes. For too long they've shown the boys forgetting all about the innocent people trapped with a demon inside them. I love they they are finally at least mentioning it.
but I loved that what broke Dean from whatever connection they have was Sam getting hurt -
YES! Even SHE couldn't break their bond. I've been getting worried about how Dean feels about Sam this season (after the last few episodes), so it was great to see that side of him is still there.
And I loved that line you quoted! In fact, there were so many great lines in this one. I'll have to watch it again to get some others. :))
Yes to all of that! And you put into words things that I liked very much, but I only got subconsciously while watching the epi (like how Amara was portrayed with so much depth or the importance of the Cas and Metatron scene). I enjoyed the epi so much. And I think the biggest reason why is that it had so many pay offs, like you say. Robert Berens' writing is pretty damn amazing! He ties up all those little loose ends and makes the whole experience rewarding
( ... )
I heard that! I sort of dismissed it because I wasn't *sure* that's what I heard, and on the surface I couldn't figure why either Lucifer or Michael would be calling Dean, and then it got lost in all the other episode reaction. But thanks for bringing it up. Glad I didn't just imagine it.
*nods* and *nods* I will have to go back and listen for the "Dean". I didn't catch it when I first watched it. I've seen it mentioned elsewhere though.
The cage was a complete surprise! I never thought about it being an actual cage - rather an infinite space. But looking at that made me so scared for Sam. Imagine being trapped in there with Lucifer and Michael/Adam. :(((
I wish Berens could write all the episodes to be honest - or at least consult on all the writing. He brings a consistency that some episodes lack.
But yay! Feeling more positive about things I gotta say,
About the cage...those fingers looked to me to be almost childlike, no signs of blood or torture (just me?) I didn't hear the faint "Dean" at the end but maybe I should turn the volume way up to catch it lol.
This epi moved things a long quite a bit. It was interesting and leaves the door open for lots of twists and turns for the boys. I'm actually getting a little excited again for show if this continues.
ngl if they do go there with Sam's visions/flashbacks from the cage, my biggest want is for Sam to call for Dean like Dean did for Sam when he was in Hell, long and loud!
