"Lazarus Rising" Thoughts and Mumbo-Jumbo
So first, BEST LINE EVER! Oh, that was so beautiful to see the boys being brothers and the IMPALA! and... *sigh* I've so missed my show. *huggles Supernatural*
And second thought... what? *shakes head* ... what?
We all pretty much knew that Dean sure wasn't going to be staying in Hell. Where would the show be if he stayed in Hell? It would probably have Sam completely hell-bent on this and that and wallowing in misery and angst and while that's good, it's just not as good if Dean weren't there.
That said, let's just highlight some moments because I'm hot off watching it for the first time and my head is spinning away.
When we first got started, I thought it was another version of Hell for Dean. I thought that he would be continually put through these horrible situations and mind-bending grief/pain/etc before starting all over again, because in theory, there are many different kinds of Hell, no? And oh my oh my, having to dig yourself out of your own grave? *daze* Not my cup of tea.
But hot damn, it was so good to see Jensen and Jared again. I loved the scene with Bobby, it was so beautiful, his not believing and then their hugging and then his not believing again and then his accepting. The hand on Dean's arm was a little startling because... does this 'angel' have a hand? A human hand?
That girl in the beginning was quite hilarious and then... dun dun dun! It's Ruby! What happened to her? This new actress, I just don't know about her quite yet, she seemed a little over the top, a little melodramatic in a few scenes. When they are in the diner together, their relationship has obviously grown quite a bit, she was extremely concerned about her coming between Dean and Sam. Wow. When we left, not so much, no.
But OMG COOL! (and extremely scary, what in the frak does it mean?) to Sam. So wicked cool. What a fantastic ability but then... what? What does it mean? And why? Why can Sam do this? Obviously Ruby's been somewhat grooming him, and on that note, does she have a hidden agenda for Sam? She doesn't have such an ability and wait! I just remembered something: Ruby was in her underwear when Sam saw Dean again (which... *heart* <-- Doesn't even begin to describe my level of SQUEE! but then again, Sam seemed to really be completely okay, like they skipped all the heartache, which is fine and dandy for time issues, but come on!), are they like... having... sex? *lol*
The psychic part was... once again, it was beautiful, just for the sake of the boys and Bobby, I LOVED their interactions, it's so funny how Sam is so much more... hornier, for lack of a better word. Oh, boys!
And then the big gung ho: an angel pulled Dean out of the grave - OUT OF FREAKING HELL - on the will of God... and then this is the big "... what?" from the beginning of my mini-whatever-this-is. How freaking... I don't know. I knew that based on Ruby's whole thing and then the demons in the diner being scared shitless (which is just a lovely scene, Dean is my hero), that it wasn't something entirely evil/demonic/what-have-you... but then we haven't really ruled out the whole evil thing, have we? I find it terribly interesting that this is the outcome, I thought right before the guy was walking in, it was some super psychic deal and then that was the last of that thought because then we get the guy with the spotlight and the huge black - BLACK - wings behind him. It's fascinating.
I can't wait for an explanation, which probably won't come until the end of the season, but then on that note, where are the writers taking this? How is this going to a new arc, because obviously there are a crazy mass of demons on the run, and then how is Sam going to play into this, I mean, if it is God's will, isn't Sam slightly... demonic? And what kind of work is planned for Dean? I did like that actor, he played nonchalant and very, very serious, nicely, and his eyes were just... imploring you to believe him, it was lovely.
Quickly though, the flashes of Dean, in Hell, with his eyes... I was watching this in the mostly dark and I freaked out! That was just beautiful, just beautiful, I love this show. I LOVE THIS SHOW!
All in all... a fantastic episode for the beginning. A freaking fan-freaking-tas-freaking-tic episode! I don't know if anyone remembers, but a long time ago, when we were waiting forever and forever between episodes, I just wanted whatever they threw at me and I would eat it up like a rat... yeah, totally still in that mindframe because I might still be shell-shocked from the whole 'writer's strike'. So, yeah. That's all.
And then another thought: Dean doesn't want to be saved... something we knew... but... I have to art that. I have to make art! "Art!"... "Stella!" *runs off*
Oh, boys! *huggles*
Oy! Words can't describe my LOVE!
