7x23
Note before we begin - In case you couldn't tell from the general spasticness of my usual recaps, I tend to write these things stream of consciousness. I do, however, usually try to edit them a little bit, but this time, I'm just in no condition with all of the emtions, so here! Apologies for more-than-usual non-sensicalness.
CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SON! *rocks out*
Crowley! Crowley and Dick! So much snarky evil in one room!!!!
Soooo…. Nobody wants Europe? Or Asia? Lotsa folk in Asia, just sayin’. I mean, sure, I like North America, but there are like 6 other continents, guys!
“Dude, on my car,” BABY!!!!! “He showed up naked, covered in bees.” I… I need a second to absorb the horror of that and move on. Maybe more than a second. NAKED WITH BEES IS NOT OK!!!!
Totally wrong to get hung up on wondering if it’s weird for Bobby to be a lady? Yes? Ok, shutting up.
Wow, further confirmation that I do not want to be a lawyer.
“Let’s bone this nun.” Boys! I missed these old Dean makes an awkward sex joke moment.
“He was your boyfriend first.” Awwww.
I really, truly love crazy!Cas. I feel kind of bad about it because he’s so epically damaged, but I really do love him.
I’m just going to pause for a moment and say that I have a far too elaborate head canon regarding the power hierarchy amongst leviathans, angels, humans and such, like about why Levis can kill angels, because I spend way too much time thinking about the mechanics of things. But I still think the SPN writers would look me up about it because it totally makes sense and I am awesome. The End.
Crowley! Again! And I just remembered now that he didn’t know Cas was alive so huh, this is extra super awkward.
CRAZY!CAS! I love him! He has a zippy bag of hand-collected honey in his pocket. Also, I shall henceforth be referring to him as Sparkles.
“Good God, don’t, never trust anyone.” Sadly, this is probably sound advice, all things considered, boys.
This whole scene just worked for me. Really banging it out so far SPN - up to now I am happy fangirl!
This Bobby/lady situation is getting increasingly uncomfortable and kind of assault-y.
I’m not actually all that interested in Kevin anymore. He was basically a plot device in the first place. Can we be done with his storyline now?
Guys, shouldn’t you bathe the pointy end of the bone??
SPARKLES IS MY NEW FAVORITE THING! SPARKLES BRINGS SPARKLE TO MY WORLD! And he makes such a nice little homemaker too. *is not imagining Sam/Dean/Sparkles curtain!fic*
Don’t eat it, Kevin! Also, why do you have mad lockpicking skills, Kevin? That doesn’t seem consistent with your character.
Seriously, why people? Because I made up a reason in my head, but I feel like it ought to be addressed why they can’t just eat already cultivated animals.
I have all the bad feelings about Polly with no real direction.
Oh… Polly. Apparently short, skinny, smart hemophiliacs are safe. There’s a stereotypical nerd joke just waiting to be made, here.
Damnit, Bobby!
MISHA COMMERCIAL!! God, seriously, how can you not love this man?!
Ok, Bobby, WTF? I mean, I know that the angry spirit thing is supposed to happen fast, but this is a big leap.
“Do we need a cat? Doesn’t this place feel one species short?” I have to come up with a new way to say that I love Sparkles and I got nothing, so I LOVE SPARKLES!
“You got anything to say on the topic of dicks?” You probably shouldn’t feed him such an easy line, Dean.
Also, ouch. Harsh, Dean. I mean, true, but still harsh.
Great, now I want curtain!fic with a side order of the boys playing Twister - just feed me some more slash bunnies, why don’tcha, Show!
Have there been a lot more Star Wars refs recently or is that just me?
TWISTER!!! :D
“You should have burnt it right off.” I admire the fact that there’s still a hunter buried under there somewhere.
Aw, this was a nice scene. It feels a little rushed to me to have it crammed into the finale when there’s all this other stuff going on, but I’m glad Bobby got to be the good dad again for a minute. Oh boys! Oh Bobby! *hugs*
Sparkles is really into board games. It’s kinda sweet. Also, what version of UNO is that??
OMG, OMG! BABY!!!!!!! *flail**flail**flail**flail*
Aw! See, this is a nice Dean and Cas scene - I’m very happy it’s here, just don’t know why we couldn’t have had it sooner.
*flail**flail**flail**flail**flail**flail*BORN TO BE WILD! *flail**flail**flail**flail**flail**flail*
Um, I don’t know if that was the best way to use Baby, but I’m happy she got to help out the team!
Why does Cas have to see them in person to detect who they are? They couldn’t use the surveillance?
YES! No? I don’t… YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was a great baddie death! All the approval!!
What is happening? Where are Dean and Sparkles? Why do the demons want Kevin? WHAT IS HAPPENING?!
Purgatory? They’re in Purgatory? I don’t… I… WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT’S THE END?! I DO NOT POSSESS ENOUGH EXCLAIMATION POINTS TO DEAL WITH THIS! I DON’T! I! OH GOD! I AM IN A GLASS CASE OF EMOTION!
Guys, I am really not at the ‘process the feelings’ place right now, ok? I am not objective, I am all the emotions. I’m not even sure I have proper words.
Ok, ok, no, I’m going to try, I’m trying, this is me trying. I really enjoyed the ep. It was bing-bang-boom hit all the important notes and there weren’t any scenes that didn’t resonate correctly with me. I feel like Bobby’s whole post-death storyline was a bit tacked on, all things considered. He didn’t end up playing a big role and saving the boys in the last battle and because of the time constraints, I don’t feel like we got a full emotional moment with his big goodbye the way we did when he died, so that makes me a little sad because I genuinely loved Bobby. They had kind of written themselves into a corner on that one and this goodbye wasn’t bad, so I’m going to try not to dwell on it.
Dick’s death seemed a little rushed, but I’m actually ok with that. It had been established earlier that humans were no physical match, so watching Dean get wailed on for a while doesn’t really appeal to me all that much and I like it when Show reminds us that the boys are clever, too.
I like the idea that the Levis don’t just immediately die as soon as Dick does and the concept of them sticking around for more than one season - not because I loved them so much, but because it feels more genuine. I always had an issue with the way Eve was kinda sorta last season’s baddie but was only really around briefly and will never be mentioned again. Levis wandering around aimless and autonomous is much more interesting than trying to set up a new evil something for next season.
Ok, so yeah, next season. Well, Jared has said that there was some room post-finale for Dean and Sam to be apart for a while, which, uh, yeah, I’d say so, Jared! I don’t think it will surprise any of you that my immediate feeling is NO. The boys and their relationship is the heart of the show, whether you’re a Wincest shipper or not - it’s always been set up that way. Which… is where I have some mixed feelings.
I know, I know, I want the boys to be together forever and always, hunting things, saving people, til death do they not part. Buuuuut, the writer part of me is intrigued by the possibilities that lay in Sam trying to find a way to rescue Dean and Dean hunting his way through Purgatory. There’s room for some very interesting stuff there. And also if you’ll forgive the TV romance metaphor, I think we can all admit that the ‘will they, won’t they’ is always more exciting to watch than once our fave pairing gets together and they’re just happy and stuff. I think that, as much as it might rip me apart, it might be more engaging and deal more with the brother relationship to have them striving to get back to one another than when they’re just driving around together. At least for a little while. This is probably going to be a wildly unpopular opinion and I’m of two minds about it myself, but there it is.
And I’m glad Cas will be sticking around. Couldn’t figure out any better place to say that, so there.
Them’s my feels. Or some of them at least. I have so many swirling around I can’t even cope, but yeah. Tell me what y’all thought. I’m gonna go get a drink.
