You Can Choose a Ready Guide in Some Celestial Voice
Oddly enough, I had a long drive after work today, I used it to play my shout at the universe playlist, the first song of which is Freewill. Remember the good old days when they played Rush songs and named their episodes after Led Zeppelin songs? One out of two ain't bad.
Anywho, LOVED IT.
You know, I can get where the Angels are coming from, what with the asking again and again and deciding that the boys are going to say yes. Because I am at the point where I want them to say yes. Why the hell not, it's gotta be different from the hell they're living in now. I dunno, I was kind of mesmerized by Michael's speech. (OMG MICHAEL IS IN THE HOUSE!) Dean's spent his whole life in duty to the family business and he's dug in so deep that he can't quit, but he clings to the idea of freewill like a dying man. I find that all ironic. (Damn you Alanis.)
I have decided that if you are copying Terminator's plot line and you reference it, complete with faked phone call pan up shot, it's all OK because this was 1978 and Terminator hadn't even happened, so it's not like they could be copying it. In fact, James Cameron should start paying royalties to McG because SPN was first!
Sam, I love you and your unresolved issues that come up and smack you silly and make you become the weird staring cousin. Also, your re-declaration of not wanting the white picket fence from the other week has more context now.
Mary, you rock with your fighting, your not backing down from Dean, and being awesome.
Young John, I did not believe that you could grow up into Jeffery Dean Morgan the first time we met. I believe it now. I also now believe in your voice. And I see where Dean gets his "I'm not dumb" issues from.
I am so glad that Dean came out and said, "I'm your son." Loved that moment. And normally, I'd be pissed off about a reset button on the end of an episode, but the thing is, I am already invested in John *not* knowing anything about hunting before Mary died that resetting *that* story line would be far more traumatic to me than resetting an episode. So I spent most of the episode praying for a reset while simultaneously wanting a "we're you're sons!" confession. So it all worked out for me.
