I don't usually do on-the-fly reaction posts, but since I'm watching alone...
A vid! They made another vid! Do you think they're going to do this for every ep? I can't imagine, but that would be fucking awesome. This was a good one, too, the best since "Carry On Wayward Son." Props to you, whoever made that.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. CREEPY CLOWNS. Don't let it in, little girl! Geez!
I like the new non-credits. Fire pretty!
They're burning John's body. Oh, boys. Oh, John. Dean, don't lie to your brother, man. OK, this scene is killing me.
IMPAAAAAAAAAALAAAAAAAAAAAA! And "Shambala," nice. "Wash away my troubles, wash away my pain." Sniffle. On a shallower note, Dean is all dirty, with the oil and the car-fixing and the tools and hello! That is a kink we have not explored yet! And Sam is wearing a short-sleeved shirt! Is it my birthday?!
Oh, Dean. You are so repressed. And yet snarky in your repression. And awww, Sammy just wants to help his big brother.
John Shiban--score!
THE MINIVAN. *dies*
OMG! Meg Manning! From Duncan to Dean--honey, you traded up.
"I can't see, I can't even see." HA. Dean Winchester, ladies and gentlemen.
I love it when they speak in unison. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT.
Yeah, you keep blurting out that you're fine, Dean. That's super-convincing. I like Ellen, though. It's really sort of Russian roulette with guest actors on this show, but I like her. And she and John were SO doing it. Lucky woman.
Genius Mullet Guy? Uh... OK. Langley, anyone?
Dear Jensen: how is it that you are so ridiculously hot? And they light you so well, too. Look at that smile, just as you're about to hit on Meg Jo and then think better of it. I also like Jo. Sassy and shotgun-wielding and knows her way around a bar--seems like Dean's type. And "side one of Zeppelin IV." Awesome.
"Planes crash!" "And apparently clowns kill!" HEEEE.
OK, you know (one of the reasons) why I fucking love this show? Because the writers are twelve. JUST LIKE ME. Exhibit A:
Dean: They had a little boy with them.
Sam: Who fingered a clown.
Dean: *raised eyebrow*
And then Sam totally throwing Dean to the wolves with the blind guy. And then both of them racing for the non-clown chair. HEE.
Oh, Sam. "We don't want to go to school." Oh, SAM.
"Head back to Wussy State." HEE. Except shut it, Dean, your brother is trying to tell you something. But maybe you can't hear him through his RIDICULOUS HAIR, GOD, PLEASE CUT IT, WARDROBE PEOPLE, I AM SERIOUS.
HEEEEE. "Homicidal phantom clown." "I can't believe we keep talkin' about clowns."
Awww, Dean is sleeping and Sam is keeping watch. That's sweet. Bet that wouldn't have happened a year ago.
HOMICIDAL PHANTOM CLOWN! Dude, what is WRONG with these children?
Oh. Blood. Oops. Maybe it's corporeal? Well, that went well.
Sam said "maudlin." That is hot.
Oh, Dean. Oh, Sam. They should beat the crap out of each other. And then hug. Seriously. I think it would make them both feel so much better.
You know what's annoying about writing SPN fic? Having to come up with actual legendary monsters. You can't just make up demons like you could with Buffy fic. Of course, some writers actually use this to their advantage, but not me! I am like, "It was a thing! And it lives in a cave? OK? Stop bothering me!"
"You're such a stickler for details, Sammy." *grin* *grin* And there's an unspoken truce. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.
Dear Jensen: how are you so hot and so funny? Seriously, his comic timing is awesome. When he was running away from the not-blind-homicidal-clown-guy, and Sam stopped him, and he skids to a halt? You could practically hear the needle on the record player. Hee. And then Jared: "So, Cooper thinks I'm a peeping Tom..." HEE. Y'all, this show makes me laugh, and I love it for that.
Ooh, good idea.
Oh, boys. You hate camping, you hate funhouses... come on. Hee.
"I gotta go... over there... right now." HA. *dies* Oh, Sammy, I love you.
Ooh. A high-tech rig to do what John did the old-school way. I like it, on both sides.
Dean, did you just leave your beer unfinished? Shame!
Oh, Sam. Dean, can't you at least give him something, geez! Lie, even! He'll never know. Nicely done by Jared, here. Though I am distracted by his girly hair FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CUT IT HE'S SO HOT OTHERWISE.
Oh, Dean. Oh, Dean. You know, I was just thinking that the Impala is such a symbol of their family, and oh. Oh, they're really pretty fucked up right now, aren't they? This is the first time we've seen Dean and Sam so separated; even at the beginning of last season, Sam had his secrets, and they had shit between them, but not like this. I kept expecting Sam to show up, but he didn't, and it kills me. Oh, boys.
Next week: Jared breaks his wrist! Hee.
Well, hey, that was fun.
