THE ROAD SO FAR...
NOW...

This is the first episode that I've ever wanted to review OUT OF ORDER.
I think it might be fun.
You'll have no idea what to expect.
You'll have to follow me around because you won't have a choice.
All the while, you'll be wondering:
Just what exactly am I up to?
LIVE FREE. OR TWIHARD. Dean is John McClane, that's for sure. But it also struck me as a spelling out of how royally humped Sam and Dean are. You can fight and fight and fight what you've become and what's coming for you, and it will still win. You can fake what you want to be all you want, but that isn't who you really are anymore. Neither of them are free, as much as they'd like everyone to think so.
I'd been missing this set since Tall Tales! This is me, reveling in pure dorkishness.
This cap is for people who love shadowy Sam in doorways. *looks at tahirire*
Why is she starting here, they say. It's halfway through the episode. We don't care about Flail!Sam and his looks of guilt that he didn't think his brother would take off like that since DEAN HAS NEVER LEFT HIM BEFORE... except once, when Dean almost became a Scarecrow, but we digress. WHY? Because. Idunno.
Dear Sam,
Dean really IS a monster right now. DUH. *smacks him in the back of the head*
-Lid, who keeps watching you put that motel key in your pocket because it's ELECTRONIC! Show has joined the new age! *ahem*
But why am I starting here? Well. I'm not starting here. In fact, neither are they. This started long ago, way before tonight.
But for Dean, it starts here:
Here we have Chicago, Death's favorite city. Outside that is the suburbs of Chicago, like Naperville and Aurora. Above Aurora is a little city called Mooseheart. But that's probably just a funny coincidence. Probably.
Anyway, in that circle around Mooseheart is where it's centered. It spread along the highways like bloodlines, in all directions, starting in one particular direction up Interstate 57 that leads through Limestone, where they are now, and I-55... Pontiac, JUST below where we can't see. Where Dean came back. Where Sam still was. Where the first words out of Bobby's and Sam's mouths nearly three years ago were, "How do you feel?", and Dean really wished that everyone would stop asking him that. So they did. Happy coincidence, I'm sure.
What does it mean? IDUNNO... if we knew, would we keep fighting, or just give up?
I love how stained glass, since the character of Anna, has come to mean The Father, and how the reason for that is because it's actually more like a religion than a pure, totally knowable reality. All you get is an overwhelming emotion and glimpses of what came before you and how that is supposed to show you where you're going; but after you wake up you're not so sure anymore, you just have this feeling like you got jumped. ... not that I would know anything about that or blame the 700 Club.
There is only one good way to cap the nightmareVISION that Dean just had and that's in Sony Vegas. So let's analyze, with some help from cloverautrey. Because I'm sure everyone is dying... ah-haha... to see it. So here it is, in 100 frames.

Climb the cliff, Tower over all And falling water, falling waterfall And after all my plans They melt into the sand Yeah you will be there on my mind through all Don't want to understand why you never get older It's time to dry off tattered overalls Impatient waiting, Way to hide a fall
PLAYTHINGS, ANYONE? The little girl who just wanted a friend? Someone who was like her?
And here's a zip file.
Has anyone watched the movie Daybreakers? No? Because, not that Show is copying by any means, but it helps this to make a lot more sense.
Here's what it says to me:
He's old. Very, very old. Mayflower old. And like the lonely vampire in Fresh Blood, he wanted to have companionship, to leave a legacy... like a human is allowed to do. Maybe these little girls lost their family in the war. Maybe they would have died and, in his mind, he was saving them. But then something came -- something that knew what he was, that he wasn't human -- and he had to leave them. He told them to go home, to go back and wait for him, and they stayed for a while, played with their dolls in the dark, but soon they wanted better dolls, better company, and they left. And he never found them again, only feel the wake that they left as they traveled... and realized what a family he had now, how much power family has. And he liked it.
It also strikes me as odd that the old man turns his head, like he can feel Dean now, and I wonder if Dean can feel him, too. I wonder if that's who we are really hunting. I wonder if Dean's super uncomfortable now that it is his turn to be the bait.
Or I could be smoking crack...
...because it also reminds me of this video my sister and I did in season two.
Which probably isn't helping my case about how I don't do the drugs.
