Picspam Reaction: Supernatural 7.20
Due to assorted RL mayhem this year and miscellaneous other things, I STILL haven't seen all of SPN season 7 yet. Season 8 starts next Wednesday. NEXT WEDNESDAY. There is no chance I'll get done watching Season 7 before Season 8 starts airing, but FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF I'M GOING TO TRY FOR SOME OF IT.
This one is likely to be shorter than previous. Oh who am I kidding. *sigh*
Spoiler and Theory Summary
FELICIA DAY IS IN IT. And since it has been roughly five billion years since this aired a bunch of other stuff as well like the title etc, but for the most part, FELICIA DAY IS IN IT.
She played Penny in Doctor Horrible, and has acted in a bunch of other things has her own web-serieses, has a degree in math, went to university at age 16, and is a complete unabashed fangirl and gamer geek.
And now she's playing a geeky fangirl on Supernatural. OMGYAY.
What I'm hoping is that since she is one, they'll have listened to her input if the character is going a little too far off the deep end. Like other fangirl characters that could be named.
It's a hope. I have it.
The clock is a-ticking, so...
Picspam Reaction, with speculation and randomness for Supernatural 7.20 - "The Girl with the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo"
-NOT skipping the THEN so I can get my bearings. What can I say, it's been a while and life has been very demanding the past long while. Hi Frank. Right. Splatter. Hypothetically. No corpse, no definite death, and even then it's a crapshoot. Still think he got taken over or doppelgangered by the Leviathan. Aw, Bobby. "What are the odds this ends well?" Yeah. Not good. :-(
-Okay, to start off, I want that cabin. As long as it has wi-fi.
-Yes Dean, drinking from Bobby's flask might make him flash the lights at you. Natural order, pft. Doesn't apply to Winchesters or honorary Winchesters.
-The boys are either a little jumpy or a little forgetful.
-"Those numbers I gave you." YES. THE NUMBERS. SINCE YOU DIDN'T ASK AND ARE STILL FLAILING AROUND IN THE DARK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEASON, HERE'S BOBBY BRINGING THE CLUE-BAT FROM THE AFTERLIFE. Idjits indeed.
-Even though it's still missing the final digit which was five. Yes I cheated and looked back at the previous screencaps, because it's been far too long and my memory is utter crap.
-"April."/"Ground's broke." Oh yay. Well, it is the final four episodes, so the plot that Frank's been trying to hook them up to (hypothetically) has to be sufficiently advanced to get them to the finale.
-"Dick is about to get into the Soylent Green business." I do believe I sort of half called that maybe? Pacify the humans and farm them? Sure I guessed that somewhere, not looking it up, I'm on a schedule. Makes sense though strategically, stabilize the supply chain before advancing further tactical plots and so forth. *nods*
-Oh Biggerson's, say it ain't so.
-"First he's gonna dumb us all down with Turkducken-style munchies." Okay, I know I called this exact strategy somewhere in the past season's reaction posts so I'm just going do take a moment to bask in a mild case of smug. There, done, onward!
-"Biggerson's? He's bought a list of joints ten pages long." Ahhhh. That could explain the somewhat less than astute and motivated moments the boys have had over the past season. Or not. He wouldn't even need to buy the restaurant chains, just control their suppliers.
-"The perfect herd." Yep, still smug. Was kind of hoping for something more epic like transdimensional gates and a reality-spanning conquest, but since this is a strategic step they could be taking before that and if nothing else, the Leviathans are the most strategically-minded foes they've had, I'll take smug.
-Hey, wait, Sam was a little absent during this conversation, what's he doing with that... hard drive? O.o
-No, wait! HI FELICIA! (I don't know what it says about my current level of visual acuity that I could mistake Felicia Day's hands for Jared Padalecki's, but it's probably not good.)
-Yep she's a hacker. I know nearly nothing about what the title reference refers too, except the D&D part, and that the Dragon Tattoo part has something to do with hackers. Good. They need someone with more technical aptitude than Sam.
-Page full of fake e-mails, must cap. All of them end in .srv which Google is telling me is an extension for some sort of survey script, so all the emails are likely no good, because show has had working email addresses before and releasing a page full to fandom to play with would be asking for a server overload. Email subjects include a couple from maisy-w, who is sleeping a lot and also hungry. She's been eating the Leviathan Chow *nods*. Lexyloo who is expecting a call (was that a character in a prior episode? Seems familiar), and a new message from Frank about being dead, probably a dead man switch email that didn't get stopped because he's dead or Leviathanized. All those emails have kind of big file sizes for most of them not having attachments. I bet they're full of really annoying animated emoticons and sparkle-text.
-And a cap of the email we're probably about to get read at us by Sam. Ooo! It's triggered by Frank's hard drive getting hacked. Nifty!
-HOLD UP. THE HARD DRIVE HAS WHERE THEY STORED THE CAR??? GO, NOW. FELICIA DAY IS AWESOME, BUT THIS IS THE IMPALA WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
-"Sam and Dean, if you're reading this, I'm dead." Well, duh.
-*koffSCAVENGEkoff*
-*pauses and walks away giggling for a bit as Sam gets close to reading the bit about the Impala* Dean's going to hit the roof.
-"...where you stored your car."/*soundtrack zing* "Baby?" Heeeeeheeheeheeheeeee, yeah, they know where the priorities are.
-Looks like Glenville, Illinois. Oh and *waves hello to Madison, Wisconsin, conspicuously hanging out on the map*
-In random news, Google Maps is ridiculously slow tonight. Much as I love Apple, I blame Apple Maps for the lag. :-P
-Oh greaaaaat. This doesn't bode well for Felicia Day. O.o
-And considering it's taken me two hours so far and I've only just gotten to the title card splatter, I'd better snap it up, yeah?
-"Five hours earlier" Felicia Day arrived at Leviathan central on a yellow scooter. With a big flower thing on it. Doesn't exactly fit the Leviathan corporate image.
-*pausing for a moment to covet the gloves* I don't know why.
-ACK! HEY MUSIC! "Walking on Sunshine" Hello eighties, it's been a while.
-GEEKY ELEVATOR DANCING FOR THE WIN. I get the feeling she doesn't actually work there... No one is that happy to go to work.
-With a capital "And". Yes indeed.
-Okay, she does work there. Let's see. Legolas, Harry Potter twice, Yoda Pez dispenser, Wonder Woman, Gimli, more Star Wars (as her shirt is Leia with the word "Rebel" I think, haven't seen a clear shot yet) and... Is that Tank Girl??? and assorted other things I either don't recognize or are too blurry to make out. Damn, legal and licensing must've had some fun getting those permissions sorted. O.o
-Hermione! Hee!
-The character's name is Charlie, which I find amusing for personally obscure reasons.
-And she's siphoning tens of thousands in company funds some political group's funds, (sayeth a reference I ran across while looking up something else? No idea. The way the co-worker was acting I thought it must be from the company) to donate to charity. Hehehe. I don't know if she'd get in more or less trouble for checking Facebook on Company time.
-I like this guy. He's mildly sleazy, but oddly endearing. Chances are this means he's dead within the next half hour.
-Eeeeeeek! Sudden unexpected King High Uber Boss. That's not a good sign. AH! They know about her donations, are impressed that she hid it so well and are going to give her Frank's gear to crack into as a "I really shouldn't have redirected that money but I am awesome at it" gig, which will lead to five hours later without her actually realizing she's working for Evil.
-Oh and while we're here anyway, Evil Tie Report. Yellow with a semi-stripey patterny mottle-y thing going on, and a matching handkerchief. Evil has complex plans, and complex ties, and possibly a secondary agenda? Hmmm. That would be cool.
-"Seems like since before the dawn of Man.[...]I don't wanna brag, but the world is my dinner plate." Hahahah. Smart-ass evil from the dawn of time.
-Written by Robbie Thompson, a name we've seen before.
-"That was adorable." Not what you expect the CEO of the company to say when you've diverted thousands of dollars in company funds some political group's funds using the office servers, but Mr. Roman doesn't actually give a crap about money, so there you are.
-Directed by John McCarthy. Not familiar, but it has been a long while.
-"You're kind of completing me right now, Charlie." Eauwgch! I agree with Charlie's face. That just doesn't sound right.
-"People like you are impossible to copy." OH COOL. Yeah. Take the compliment. It means they can't eat you and replace you with a Leviathan. I think.
-Yep, Frank's drive. "You have three days or you're fired. Good talk!" He's kind of adorable in an ancient corporate evil sort of way.
-"Well if you need anything I'll be back in the Shire." CHICKEEEEN! Understandably, in an office, not wanting to get caught in the potential failsplosion if things go wrong, but still, CHICKEEEEEEN!
-Pst. Try checking the spelling on your "Scavenge password" command.
-"How about a nice game of chess?" Ahahahahahaha. We are all up in the 80's tonight. WarGames. Frank, you dork.
-Yeah, of course it's a trap. Frank is professional at being paranoid, it wouldn't be a simple pop culture reference. Ooo, did a virus just get unleashed in Leviathan Central? Hee!
-"What if we mailed in the flask?" Okay, if this was a game I was GMing, Bobby just got bonus points for creative problem-solving, even if they aren't going to do it.
-"What happens if you run into Dick and go vengeful?" Well, if it's on Dick Roman instead of random bystanders, that's pretty much a win, isn't it? Except for Bobby, but if I was a ghost and had the chance to get into the core stronghold of whoever killed me and go batshit insane on the big boss and all his or her henchthings and prevent or slow them from taking over the world and eating everyone, I'd consider it a worthwhile use of my afterlife.
-"I'll get us some coffee, I assume you'll want some crack in yours?"/"Yes please." Heeeeee. Shire-boy and Charlie have a cute dynamic when he's not being a chicken.
-Don't believe it. It's Frank's. And there's an exclamation point. Plus you are being watched by an ascii mouse. Never a good sign.
-IT'S A TRAP! Or it's the truth about your boss. Either way, it's probably going to mess up your day, and/or remainder of your life.
-Oh hello hunter notes. You know, fannish or not, coming across notes that say your boss is an ancient evil from the dawn of time with a tendency to eat people and a severe Borax allergy is not going to be easy to cope with on no sleep and a crapload of Red Bull.
-Hint of 'Sherlock' all of a sudden with the onscreen hallucinatory writing. I blame the Red Bull.
-Second evil tie report. Different tie, still yellow, now with more obvious dot-pattern-widgets and a really spiky, fangy handkerchief. If Charlie's supervisor isn't a Leviathan, he's probably about to be lunch. Charlie's supervisor's tie is very stripey. Maybe not a Leviathan yet then. Poor doomed bastard.
-Yup. Lunch. Poor doomed bastard.
-Well! There's a lovely little reality check and short-cut through the "Things like this don't actually happen ever" nonsense.
-"It's a lady thing." Pfffft.
-I have no words for this shelf except that Darth Vader has a far looser bobble-head than the rest of them. "I love you Sith much!" *snerk*
-Unexpected Winchesters meet freaked out person who just watched her supervisor get eaten by a Leviathan, and who keeps a sword by the door (like several other fannish people I know, including me, hee). Get ready to duck, Dean.
-You too, Sam- crap, too late! O.O
-Heh. Mine might be cheap, dull and nasty-looking, but at least it's made of actual steel.
-Borax, it's this season's Holy Water. Hm... Would blessing Borax help at all I wonder? Probably not.
-Voiceover: "America." Me: "AHAHAHAHAHAHAH" I love when they do fake commercials. And of course the Leviathans are doing PR. Their primary tactic is pacifying the masses after all. SucroCorp, eh? Sugar from genetically modified Leviathan enhanced corn, maybe, given the corn-focused commercial? Corn and corn syrup are in a hell of a lot of things. The Leviathans modify that, undercut other suppliers, get it into the food supply via manufacturers, that'd be a damn fine strategy. I like tactically smart and plotty adversary characters, even if they're evil and planning to turn all humans into livestock.
-I really have a craving for corn on the cob now. DAMN YOU, DICK ROMAN! *fistshake*
-"Stop, never mind, just shh." Yes. Too much weird for one day already, there are some floodgates you might want to wait a few days to crack open.
-Yep. Frank. If there's someone hacking into your black box drive, you want to make sure you gather as much info about them as possible and send it to whoever's on the alert list. *nods like she knows what she's talking about*
-"You can't be... serious." This is Dean's serious face. When he's not also about to tear someone's head off that is. That looks a bit different. See also Dean's phone call to Bela Talbot about her telling Gordon where they were.
-So much licensing, oh my god.
-"You can't. Only someone like-" And that's when you realize you've kind of accepted the quest and are screwed. Flailing and backpedaling will do you no good. *pats Charlie*
-"Erase everything on the drive, protect me and you, and then I go back to my old life, right?" Ahahahhahahahaha. Ahahahahahah. Ahaahahahahahah. Hahahaha. No.
-"But now I volunteer." Yes! *fistpump* Well, I guess if you're marked for death by a pervasive hard-to-detect evil that will eat you, why the hell not, right?
-"These things are gonna eat everyone I know. What kind of douchebag stands by for that." Dean approves.
-Lurking seething Bobby, what exactly are you planning? Hmmm... he's done things with the flask before, maybe he'll jump it into her bag before she goes in? I would. This could get reaaaally messy.
-HEE! Hope you like Arwen, Sam!
-HA. Yep. Good for Bobby. Vengeance aside, he's the only member of the team that can provide backup in the office on this operation, is invisible to recording equipment unless he really wants to be seen, and can mess with building electrical and pull other emergency ghost-type tricks. It's logical. Even with the vengeance. And what's the likelihood Dick Roman's going to be lurking around his office at this time of night anyway. ...what am I saying, of course he'll be there. Plot-logic says so. *facepalm*
-Family heirloom indeed. I'm quite glad he didn't tell her to pitch it into the shrubbery so they could pick it up and keep Bobby away from Dick. I was worried for a second.
-"Who's your favourite Harry Potter character?" SAM WITH THE FAN-GEEK-RELATED DISTRACTION FTW!!! \o/
-Really, Dean, the number of pop culture references you make you should be a lot more on board with this than your face says. *pats Dean*
-Don't mind me, I'm just going to giggle and flail my arms around through this whole HP-related pep-talk.
-"And then she ends up with the wrong-" Covert ops are generally not a good time to discuss fannish shipping preferences, Charlie. FYI. Later would be fine.
-"I'm gonna kick it in the ass." Awww. Unexpected Kim Manners shout-out. Aww.
-"You go, Dumbledork." Heeeehehehehehe.
-Oh yes, and Charlie Bradbury? Also a cool shout-out.
-Will they catch on that she's up to something because she didn't dance in the elevator?
-Hi invisible borderline-vengeful-spirit caper-backup Bobby! She drank out of the flask, does that mean she'll be able to see him?
-"He's not going anywhere." Aaaaaand cue ghost-Bobby, yes?
-"What you're gonna do is you're gonna walk right up to him and flirt your way past." *facepalm* Dean. *headshake*
-"As in, he's not a girl." Yep, I'd heard that too. Cool.
-"Pretend he has boobs." *SNERK* Dean. *headshake*
-"Mine is Princess Leia in a slave bikini straddling a 20-sided die." Which would be the titular D&D tattoo, sort of? Dean seems to be envisioning it.
-"I was drunk, it was Comic-Con."/"We've all been there." Has Dean been to Comic-con? My memory is crap. There was the Supernatural con, but was there an episode set at Comic-con? I have this vague thought there was, but maybe I'm thinking of the Guild. Or the new Gamers movie. Either way, Dean needs to go to Comic-con.
-"You just got home and Scarlett Johanssen is waiting for you." In this case, Dean's fantasies might work just as well for fake-flirting fodder.
-"It shows, you look amazing."/*uncappable Sam side-eye*/"This never happened." Pardon me, but I feel the need to die laughing now.
-"Stop laughing, Sammy." *facepalm* The dangers of parrot-mode.
-*covering stress-babble about oddly named bars* "Stop talking, Charlie." The best bit about that, is it makes the flirting seem more genuine because she looks like a nervous babbling wreck, which she kind of is, just for different reasons.
-I'm kind of liking the split-screen they're playing with. Reminiscent of 24.
-*sneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerk* Looks like someone in the Leviathan operation has replicated or eaten Charlie Sheen at some point.
-Dude, it's been a couple minutes max. How long do you take in the bathroom?
-"Okay, let's Yoda this." We are all up with the Star Wars references tonight. GO BOBBY!
-ACK! ALWAYS KEEP TRACK OF YOUR CRAP!! *facepalm*
-Oh very well done. Full points for Charlie on that.
-And the rest. And I bet she's given him a fake "I'm giving you my number but not really" number too. WOO! SUCCESS! WELL DONE CHARLIE! \o/ Now run before he decides to talk to the guard at the front desk who never saw you go up to the 11th floor.
-"From now on, we just stay in the van and send in the 90 pound girl." *pats Dean* If she's the one that can do the job and all you'll do if you go in is be recognized as Leviathan enemy number one, then yes, Dean, that's exactly what you do. *patpat*
-"Doesn't mean I gotta be happy about sending in freaking Veronica Mars." Heee! No licensing issues for that reference. XD
-"Sending you all the flagged Dick files now." Dude. DUDE. YOU HAVE THEM ON A THUMB DRIVE. GRAB FRANK'S DRIVE OR DELETE IT OR WHATEVER AND GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE. YOU DO NOT NEED TO TRANSMIT THOSE FILES OVER AN OFFICE WI-FI CONNECTION. COVER YOUR TRACKS AND BUG OUT!
-Sorry. She's new to real world non-hacking clandestine stuff. But AAAAAARG!!! She really should know this is a bad idea. Yeesh. She was doing so well! *facepalm*
-Unless maybe there's some kind of, I dunno, thumb-drive blanking security system at the front door. To prevent theft of intellectual property. Or something. Fine. *HANDWAVES WITH INTENSE EFFORT* There. Moving on.
-"You are a genius!"/"I know, it's a problem." Hee, she is adorable though.
-When you're in the office late at night doing a spot of espionage and the supervisor you recently saw get eaten and replaced by a doppelganger turns up, that's really bad.
-And of course if you've been seen, you can't let on that you saw him get eaten and just have to fake your way through like everything is normal. Except the arm touching, which is a little weird, since Roman was saying she couldn't be copied, so it's not like her new Leviathan supervisor can copy her, right? Or... Hunh. And now she's trapped there being normal for a while. Crap.
-Ooo, a scrub order. They must have found what they were looking for. And I'm guessing those termination orders for the workers aren't the kind that can be filed for unemployment benefits. Hm. Though since this Anand Milan is the TO: field, that means Roman is responding to his order rather than vice versa. Does Roman have an Uber Boss? Or does he take advice from this Anand in his security department? Or did Dick just resend this to himself or some other perfectly reasonable explanation to explain the From: and To: fields getting swapped? If it doesn't get explained, then pick one and *handwave* at whim.
-Talking to 'yourself' at night in the middle of an empty office about crap the CEO is doing isn't really going to help your "working late" alibi fly there Charlie.
-Well isn't that convenient. Don't know whether they replaced Trump with a Leviathan, or whether they needed to. Not sure if Downey Airport is a reference to something or not? According to Google, Downey Airport is in California, small, and abandoned.
-Dick Roman sure cleans up pretty. Oh and Evil Tie Report: Bow. Shit just got real.
-OH HAI DICK ROMAN IN THE OFFICE NOW. CRAP. Oh! Maybe the arm grab was a mind-reading thing? They can't copy her but they can still scan her? That would suck. Also I TOLD YOU SO, CHARLIE!! BLANK THE HARD DRIVE, GRAB THE THUMB DRIVE AND RUN! DON'T HANG AROUND SENDING CRAP OVER THE WI-FI.
-And the heap of the week (when it isn't a surveillance van) iiiiis an... AMC Javelin? Maybe?
-THIS JUST IN: SAM'S EVIL SIDEBURNS HAVE AN EVILER SET OF TWINS, AND THEY ARE ON A COMPLETELY TIELESS LEVIATHAN. This does not bode well.
-HAH HA! Whatever the thing is, the boys have it, and the Leviathans have a face-full of Borax.
-The question I'd most like answered right now though, is where the hell is Charlie? Ah, another time jump. Answer is in-bound.
-Aircraft diversions yay! \o/ Felicia Day does have a lovely way with smug.
-EEEEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEEEEE!!!! CAPER COSTUMES!!! As always, the boys look fetching in hazard orange. \o/
-"Why don't you go grab a bite." Har har. Yeah, they know she knows.
-And he asks her to show him the stuff on the drive, and she's trying to figure a way out, and that's when ghost-Bobby goes ballistic, right? We shall see.
-Right, last chance to guess. It was found in Iran, so ancient Mesopotamian, or possibly something ancient or biblical, given the Leviathans were sent to Purgatory way back in the way backs and Shows penchant for messing with that general area of source material. Hm. Fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil? "The Word"? Or going another direction, something Chthonic? Map of Ry'leh? I don't think the Leviathans would be too interested in anything strictly human-generated... but maybe. Hm. No idea, but it's probably going to seem a heck of a lot less impressive than it is.. Pushing play.
-"Did we just steal a hunk of red clay?" Ooooo. In keeping with the whole Judeo-Christian thing this show tends to play with, might that be clay from Eden? Wonder what Dick Roman thinks he can do with that?
-"Dick Roman. *seeeethe*" Ahahahahahaha. DOOOOOOM! Also Oh Bobby though, because of the going vengeful thing, but if he goes and gets his vengeance, he'd just move on then, right? Not that I'm at all eager to see him go, quite the opposite. Just saying if he goes over, and takes out Dick, Sam and Dean won't have to- y'know. Deal with him. Right? ...eeep. O.o
-"Is it me or did it just drop ten degrees in here?" Hehehe. DOOOOOOM.
-"If items were deleted from the drive, would you be able to tell?" Yep, unless they were over-written afterwards with randomized data. Which would also look suspicious and have a date stamp that was something other than before they ate Frank. But Charlie would have thought of that. Right?
-"Not if they were deleted properly." Oh dear. That doesn't sound very positive.
-"Nothing's unbreakable, really. Nothing's safe if you poke at it long enough."/"Nothing's safe. I like that." Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek. O.O
-*Dick Roman goes on about the spark being one in a million and people that have it invent and make things* ...Dude. Is this spark business all a really subtle Girl Genius shout-out? That would be entirely unanticipated, and rather cool. O.o
-"'Coz I could feed every fact in your brain to somebody else and they still wouldn't be able to be you." That's reassuring. And useful. And vaguely disconcerting. Eeep. O.o
-"I guess you can't clone me."/"Don't think that doesn't piss me off." Eeeeeeeeeep.
-"Stay here, will ya? I'll be back in two shakes." YES, RUNNING NOW. THANK YOU. Gaaaah.
-"Nothing is safe, apparently." Aw. Did someone's threatening cat and mouse statements get blown back in his face? Silly Leviathan. RUN, CHARLIE!
-Ohcrapohcrapohcrapohcrap.
-YEAH BOBBY!!!!
[Uncappable clothesline of supervisor]
And finishing off with double-barreled Winchesters through the glass door. YES. That was lovely. *rewinds and repeats*
-Woof. I mean, um. Sam's, uh, obviously still working out. Yeah. Ahem.
-"You're hanging with the wrong crowd, kiddo."/"Not so fast, Dick." YEAH! *fistpump* At the same time Oh Bobby. Also at the same time, better hope the flask fell out. Or didn't fall out so Bobby can get pulled out. Or if he stays there and haunts the crap out of Dick Roman's operation maybe he can slow it down, but then... aaaaaarg. I'm just going to go with a comprehensive "Oh Bobby."
-I will say this for Dick Roman, he looks like he's having a blast even when he's getting his ass kicked.
-"Show yourself, let's do this like real-" *pause playback* Men or monsters I wonder. *restarts* "monsters." Yep.
-"You gotta do that again, that tickled." Oh great, he's baiting Bobby now. Oh god, this is not going to go well.
-And they've still got the flask with them. Oh Bobby.
-And Dick Roman is pissed. And eats the messenger with the super-evil sideburns. No surprise there.
-"Worst good luck charm ever." Dude, you have literally no idea how necessary it was that you had Bobby helping you out.
-"You think my name is really Charlie Bradbury? Please." Hee! I hope she comes back. And doesn't die. I've only heard vague things on that count, so I'm still keeping my head in the sand re info on the episodes I haven't seen.
-"She's kinda like the little sister I never wanted." Aw, Dean. You could hang out together and perve on Scarlett Johanssen while Sam rolls his eyes and sighs a lot. *pats*
-"Let's just figure out what that thing we stole is, then we'll figure out what to do with Bobby." Sounds like a plan. Except, isn't going vengeful primarily a matter of time with a case like Bobby's where he's got a reason and a known target? So.... Eeeeep.
(PLEASE, NO REFERENCES TO EPISODES PAST 7.20 IN COMMENTS! I'm catching up as fast as I can D-:.)
This one is likely to be shorter than previous. Oh who am I kidding. *sigh*

-NOT skipping the THEN so I can get my bearings. What can I say, it's been a while and life has been very demanding the past long while. Hi Frank. Right. Splatter. Hypothetically. No corpse, no definite death, and even then it's a crapshoot. Still think he got taken over or doppelgangered by the Leviathan. Aw, Bobby. "What are the odds this ends well?" Yeah. Not good. :-(
-Okay, to start off, I want that cabin. As long as it has wi-fi.
-Yes Dean, drinking from Bobby's flask might make him flash the lights at you. Natural order, pft. Doesn't apply to Winchesters or honorary Winchesters.
-The boys are either a little jumpy or a little forgetful.
-"Those numbers I gave you." YES. THE NUMBERS. SINCE YOU DIDN'T ASK AND ARE STILL FLAILING AROUND IN THE DARK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEASON, HERE'S BOBBY BRINGING THE CLUE-BAT FROM THE AFTERLIFE. Idjits indeed.
-Even though it's still missing the final digit which was five. Yes I cheated and looked back at the previous screencaps, because it's been far too long and my memory is utter crap.
-"April."/"Ground's broke." Oh yay. Well, it is the final four episodes, so the plot that Frank's been trying to hook them up to (hypothetically) has to be sufficiently advanced to get them to the finale.
-"Dick is about to get into the Soylent Green business." I do believe I sort of half called that maybe? Pacify the humans and farm them? Sure I guessed that somewhere, not looking it up, I'm on a schedule. Makes sense though strategically, stabilize the supply chain before advancing further tactical plots and so forth. *nods*
-Oh Biggerson's, say it ain't so.
-"First he's gonna dumb us all down with Turkducken-style munchies." Okay, I know I called this exact strategy somewhere in the past season's reaction posts so I'm just going do take a moment to bask in a mild case of smug. There, done, onward!
-"Biggerson's? He's bought a list of joints ten pages long." Ahhhh. That could explain the somewhat less than astute and motivated moments the boys have had over the past season. Or not. He wouldn't even need to buy the restaurant chains, just control their suppliers.
-"The perfect herd." Yep, still smug. Was kind of hoping for something more epic like transdimensional gates and a reality-spanning conquest, but since this is a strategic step they could be taking before that and if nothing else, the Leviathans are the most strategically-minded foes they've had, I'll take smug.
-Hey, wait, Sam was a little absent during this conversation, what's he doing with that... hard drive? O.o
-No, wait! HI FELICIA! (I don't know what it says about my current level of visual acuity that I could mistake Felicia Day's hands for Jared Padalecki's, but it's probably not good.)
-Yep she's a hacker. I know nearly nothing about what the title reference refers too, except the D&D part, and that the Dragon Tattoo part has something to do with hackers. Good. They need someone with more technical aptitude than Sam.
-Page full of fake e-mails, must cap. All of them end in .srv which Google is telling me is an extension for some sort of survey script, so all the emails are likely no good, because show has had working email addresses before and releasing a page full to fandom to play with would be asking for a server overload. Email subjects include a couple from maisy-w, who is sleeping a lot and also hungry. She's been eating the Leviathan Chow *nods*. Lexyloo who is expecting a call (was that a character in a prior episode? Seems familiar), and a new message from Frank about being dead, probably a dead man switch email that didn't get stopped because he's dead or Leviathanized. All those emails have kind of big file sizes for most of them not having attachments. I bet they're full of really annoying animated emoticons and sparkle-text.
-And a cap of the email we're probably about to get read at us by Sam. Ooo! It's triggered by Frank's hard drive getting hacked. Nifty!
-HOLD UP. THE HARD DRIVE HAS WHERE THEY STORED THE CAR??? GO, NOW. FELICIA DAY IS AWESOME, BUT THIS IS THE IMPALA WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
-"Sam and Dean, if you're reading this, I'm dead." Well, duh.
-*koffSCAVENGEkoff*
-*pauses and walks away giggling for a bit as Sam gets close to reading the bit about the Impala* Dean's going to hit the roof.
-"...where you stored your car."/*soundtrack zing* "Baby?" Heeeeeheeheeheeheeeee, yeah, they know where the priorities are.
-Looks like Glenville, Illinois. Oh and *waves hello to Madison, Wisconsin, conspicuously hanging out on the map*
-In random news, Google Maps is ridiculously slow tonight. Much as I love Apple, I blame Apple Maps for the lag. :-P
-Oh greaaaaat. This doesn't bode well for Felicia Day. O.o
-And considering it's taken me two hours so far and I've only just gotten to the title card splatter, I'd better snap it up, yeah?
-"Five hours earlier" Felicia Day arrived at Leviathan central on a yellow scooter. With a big flower thing on it. Doesn't exactly fit the Leviathan corporate image.
-*pausing for a moment to covet the gloves* I don't know why.
-ACK! HEY MUSIC! "Walking on Sunshine" Hello eighties, it's been a while.
-GEEKY ELEVATOR DANCING FOR THE WIN. I get the feeling she doesn't actually work there... No one is that happy to go to work.
-With a capital "And". Yes indeed.
-Okay, she does work there. Let's see. Legolas, Harry Potter twice, Yoda Pez dispenser, Wonder Woman, Gimli, more Star Wars (as her shirt is Leia with the word "Rebel" I think, haven't seen a clear shot yet) and... Is that Tank Girl??? and assorted other things I either don't recognize or are too blurry to make out. Damn, legal and licensing must've had some fun getting those permissions sorted. O.o
-Hermione! Hee!
-The character's name is Charlie, which I find amusing for personally obscure reasons.
-And she's siphoning tens of thousands in company funds some political group's funds, (sayeth a reference I ran across while looking up something else? No idea. The way the co-worker was acting I thought it must be from the company) to donate to charity. Hehehe. I don't know if she'd get in more or less trouble for checking Facebook on Company time.
-I like this guy. He's mildly sleazy, but oddly endearing. Chances are this means he's dead within the next half hour.
-Eeeeeeek! Sudden unexpected King High Uber Boss. That's not a good sign. AH! They know about her donations, are impressed that she hid it so well and are going to give her Frank's gear to crack into as a "I really shouldn't have redirected that money but I am awesome at it" gig, which will lead to five hours later without her actually realizing she's working for Evil.
-Oh and while we're here anyway, Evil Tie Report. Yellow with a semi-stripey patterny mottle-y thing going on, and a matching handkerchief. Evil has complex plans, and complex ties, and possibly a secondary agenda? Hmmm. That would be cool.
-"Seems like since before the dawn of Man.[...]I don't wanna brag, but the world is my dinner plate." Hahahah. Smart-ass evil from the dawn of time.
-Written by Robbie Thompson, a name we've seen before.
-"That was adorable." Not what you expect the CEO of the company to say when you've diverted thousands of dollars in company funds some political group's funds using the office servers, but Mr. Roman doesn't actually give a crap about money, so there you are.
-Directed by John McCarthy. Not familiar, but it has been a long while.
-"You're kind of completing me right now, Charlie." Eauwgch! I agree with Charlie's face. That just doesn't sound right.
-"People like you are impossible to copy." OH COOL. Yeah. Take the compliment. It means they can't eat you and replace you with a Leviathan. I think.
-Yep, Frank's drive. "You have three days or you're fired. Good talk!" He's kind of adorable in an ancient corporate evil sort of way.
-"Well if you need anything I'll be back in the Shire." CHICKEEEEN! Understandably, in an office, not wanting to get caught in the potential failsplosion if things go wrong, but still, CHICKEEEEEEN!
-Pst. Try checking the spelling on your "Scavenge password" command.
-"How about a nice game of chess?" Ahahahahahaha. We are all up in the 80's tonight. WarGames. Frank, you dork.
-Yeah, of course it's a trap. Frank is professional at being paranoid, it wouldn't be a simple pop culture reference. Ooo, did a virus just get unleashed in Leviathan Central? Hee!
-"What if we mailed in the flask?" Okay, if this was a game I was GMing, Bobby just got bonus points for creative problem-solving, even if they aren't going to do it.
-"What happens if you run into Dick and go vengeful?" Well, if it's on Dick Roman instead of random bystanders, that's pretty much a win, isn't it? Except for Bobby, but if I was a ghost and had the chance to get into the core stronghold of whoever killed me and go batshit insane on the big boss and all his or her henchthings and prevent or slow them from taking over the world and eating everyone, I'd consider it a worthwhile use of my afterlife.
-"I'll get us some coffee, I assume you'll want some crack in yours?"/"Yes please." Heeeeee. Shire-boy and Charlie have a cute dynamic when he's not being a chicken.
-Don't believe it. It's Frank's. And there's an exclamation point. Plus you are being watched by an ascii mouse. Never a good sign.
-IT'S A TRAP! Or it's the truth about your boss. Either way, it's probably going to mess up your day, and/or remainder of your life.
-Oh hello hunter notes. You know, fannish or not, coming across notes that say your boss is an ancient evil from the dawn of time with a tendency to eat people and a severe Borax allergy is not going to be easy to cope with on no sleep and a crapload of Red Bull.
-Hint of 'Sherlock' all of a sudden with the onscreen hallucinatory writing. I blame the Red Bull.
-Second evil tie report. Different tie, still yellow, now with more obvious dot-pattern-widgets and a really spiky, fangy handkerchief. If Charlie's supervisor isn't a Leviathan, he's probably about to be lunch. Charlie's supervisor's tie is very stripey. Maybe not a Leviathan yet then. Poor doomed bastard.
-Yup. Lunch. Poor doomed bastard.
-Well! There's a lovely little reality check and short-cut through the "Things like this don't actually happen ever" nonsense.
-"It's a lady thing." Pfffft.
-I have no words for this shelf except that Darth Vader has a far looser bobble-head than the rest of them. "I love you Sith much!" *snerk*
-Unexpected Winchesters meet freaked out person who just watched her supervisor get eaten by a Leviathan, and who keeps a sword by the door (like several other fannish people I know, including me, hee). Get ready to duck, Dean.
-You too, Sam- crap, too late! O.O
-Heh. Mine might be cheap, dull and nasty-looking, but at least it's made of actual steel.
-Borax, it's this season's Holy Water. Hm... Would blessing Borax help at all I wonder? Probably not.
-Voiceover: "America." Me: "AHAHAHAHAHAHAH" I love when they do fake commercials. And of course the Leviathans are doing PR. Their primary tactic is pacifying the masses after all. SucroCorp, eh? Sugar from genetically modified Leviathan enhanced corn, maybe, given the corn-focused commercial? Corn and corn syrup are in a hell of a lot of things. The Leviathans modify that, undercut other suppliers, get it into the food supply via manufacturers, that'd be a damn fine strategy. I like tactically smart and plotty adversary characters, even if they're evil and planning to turn all humans into livestock.
-I really have a craving for corn on the cob now. DAMN YOU, DICK ROMAN! *fistshake*
-"Stop, never mind, just shh." Yes. Too much weird for one day already, there are some floodgates you might want to wait a few days to crack open.
-Yep. Frank. If there's someone hacking into your black box drive, you want to make sure you gather as much info about them as possible and send it to whoever's on the alert list. *nods like she knows what she's talking about*
-"You can't be... serious." This is Dean's serious face. When he's not also about to tear someone's head off that is. That looks a bit different. See also Dean's phone call to Bela Talbot about her telling Gordon where they were.
-So much licensing, oh my god.
-"You can't. Only someone like-" And that's when you realize you've kind of accepted the quest and are screwed. Flailing and backpedaling will do you no good. *pats Charlie*
-"Erase everything on the drive, protect me and you, and then I go back to my old life, right?" Ahahahhahahahaha. Ahahahahahah. Ahaahahahahahah. Hahahaha. No.
-"But now I volunteer." Yes! *fistpump* Well, I guess if you're marked for death by a pervasive hard-to-detect evil that will eat you, why the hell not, right?
-"These things are gonna eat everyone I know. What kind of douchebag stands by for that." Dean approves.
-Lurking seething Bobby, what exactly are you planning? Hmmm... he's done things with the flask before, maybe he'll jump it into her bag before she goes in? I would. This could get reaaaally messy.
-HEE! Hope you like Arwen, Sam!
-HA. Yep. Good for Bobby. Vengeance aside, he's the only member of the team that can provide backup in the office on this operation, is invisible to recording equipment unless he really wants to be seen, and can mess with building electrical and pull other emergency ghost-type tricks. It's logical. Even with the vengeance. And what's the likelihood Dick Roman's going to be lurking around his office at this time of night anyway. ...what am I saying, of course he'll be there. Plot-logic says so. *facepalm*
-Family heirloom indeed. I'm quite glad he didn't tell her to pitch it into the shrubbery so they could pick it up and keep Bobby away from Dick. I was worried for a second.
-"Who's your favourite Harry Potter character?" SAM WITH THE FAN-GEEK-RELATED DISTRACTION FTW!!! \o/
-Really, Dean, the number of pop culture references you make you should be a lot more on board with this than your face says. *pats Dean*
-Don't mind me, I'm just going to giggle and flail my arms around through this whole HP-related pep-talk.
-"And then she ends up with the wrong-" Covert ops are generally not a good time to discuss fannish shipping preferences, Charlie. FYI. Later would be fine.
-"I'm gonna kick it in the ass." Awww. Unexpected Kim Manners shout-out. Aww.
-"You go, Dumbledork." Heeeehehehehehe.
-Oh yes, and Charlie Bradbury? Also a cool shout-out.
-Will they catch on that she's up to something because she didn't dance in the elevator?
-Hi invisible borderline-vengeful-spirit caper-backup Bobby! She drank out of the flask, does that mean she'll be able to see him?
-"He's not going anywhere." Aaaaaand cue ghost-Bobby, yes?
-"What you're gonna do is you're gonna walk right up to him and flirt your way past." *facepalm* Dean. *headshake*
-"As in, he's not a girl." Yep, I'd heard that too. Cool.
-"Pretend he has boobs." *SNERK* Dean. *headshake*
-"Mine is Princess Leia in a slave bikini straddling a 20-sided die." Which would be the titular D&D tattoo, sort of? Dean seems to be envisioning it.
-"I was drunk, it was Comic-Con."/"We've all been there." Has Dean been to Comic-con? My memory is crap. There was the Supernatural con, but was there an episode set at Comic-con? I have this vague thought there was, but maybe I'm thinking of the Guild. Or the new Gamers movie. Either way, Dean needs to go to Comic-con.
-"You just got home and Scarlett Johanssen is waiting for you." In this case, Dean's fantasies might work just as well for fake-flirting fodder.
-"It shows, you look amazing."/*uncappable Sam side-eye*/"This never happened." Pardon me, but I feel the need to die laughing now.
-"Stop laughing, Sammy." *facepalm* The dangers of parrot-mode.
-*covering stress-babble about oddly named bars* "Stop talking, Charlie." The best bit about that, is it makes the flirting seem more genuine because she looks like a nervous babbling wreck, which she kind of is, just for different reasons.
-I'm kind of liking the split-screen they're playing with. Reminiscent of 24.
-*sneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerk* Looks like someone in the Leviathan operation has replicated or eaten Charlie Sheen at some point.
-Dude, it's been a couple minutes max. How long do you take in the bathroom?
-"Okay, let's Yoda this." We are all up with the Star Wars references tonight. GO BOBBY!
-ACK! ALWAYS KEEP TRACK OF YOUR CRAP!! *facepalm*
-Oh very well done. Full points for Charlie on that.
-And the rest. And I bet she's given him a fake "I'm giving you my number but not really" number too. WOO! SUCCESS! WELL DONE CHARLIE! \o/ Now run before he decides to talk to the guard at the front desk who never saw you go up to the 11th floor.
-"From now on, we just stay in the van and send in the 90 pound girl." *pats Dean* If she's the one that can do the job and all you'll do if you go in is be recognized as Leviathan enemy number one, then yes, Dean, that's exactly what you do. *patpat*
-"Doesn't mean I gotta be happy about sending in freaking Veronica Mars." Heee! No licensing issues for that reference. XD
-"Sending you all the flagged Dick files now." Dude. DUDE. YOU HAVE THEM ON A THUMB DRIVE. GRAB FRANK'S DRIVE OR DELETE IT OR WHATEVER AND GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE. YOU DO NOT NEED TO TRANSMIT THOSE FILES OVER AN OFFICE WI-FI CONNECTION. COVER YOUR TRACKS AND BUG OUT!
-Sorry. She's new to real world non-hacking clandestine stuff. But AAAAAARG!!! She really should know this is a bad idea. Yeesh. She was doing so well! *facepalm*
-Unless maybe there's some kind of, I dunno, thumb-drive blanking security system at the front door. To prevent theft of intellectual property. Or something. Fine. *HANDWAVES WITH INTENSE EFFORT* There. Moving on.
-"You are a genius!"/"I know, it's a problem." Hee, she is adorable though.
-When you're in the office late at night doing a spot of espionage and the supervisor you recently saw get eaten and replaced by a doppelganger turns up, that's really bad.
-And of course if you've been seen, you can't let on that you saw him get eaten and just have to fake your way through like everything is normal. Except the arm touching, which is a little weird, since Roman was saying she couldn't be copied, so it's not like her new Leviathan supervisor can copy her, right? Or... Hunh. And now she's trapped there being normal for a while. Crap.
-Ooo, a scrub order. They must have found what they were looking for. And I'm guessing those termination orders for the workers aren't the kind that can be filed for unemployment benefits. Hm. Though since this Anand Milan is the TO: field, that means Roman is responding to his order rather than vice versa. Does Roman have an Uber Boss? Or does he take advice from this Anand in his security department? Or did Dick just resend this to himself or some other perfectly reasonable explanation to explain the From: and To: fields getting swapped? If it doesn't get explained, then pick one and *handwave* at whim.
-Talking to 'yourself' at night in the middle of an empty office about crap the CEO is doing isn't really going to help your "working late" alibi fly there Charlie.
-Well isn't that convenient. Don't know whether they replaced Trump with a Leviathan, or whether they needed to. Not sure if Downey Airport is a reference to something or not? According to Google, Downey Airport is in California, small, and abandoned.
-Dick Roman sure cleans up pretty. Oh and Evil Tie Report: Bow. Shit just got real.
-OH HAI DICK ROMAN IN THE OFFICE NOW. CRAP. Oh! Maybe the arm grab was a mind-reading thing? They can't copy her but they can still scan her? That would suck. Also I TOLD YOU SO, CHARLIE!! BLANK THE HARD DRIVE, GRAB THE THUMB DRIVE AND RUN! DON'T HANG AROUND SENDING CRAP OVER THE WI-FI.
-And the heap of the week (when it isn't a surveillance van) iiiiis an... AMC Javelin? Maybe?
-THIS JUST IN: SAM'S EVIL SIDEBURNS HAVE AN EVILER SET OF TWINS, AND THEY ARE ON A COMPLETELY TIELESS LEVIATHAN. This does not bode well.
-HAH HA! Whatever the thing is, the boys have it, and the Leviathans have a face-full of Borax.
-The question I'd most like answered right now though, is where the hell is Charlie? Ah, another time jump. Answer is in-bound.
-Aircraft diversions yay! \o/ Felicia Day does have a lovely way with smug.
-EEEEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEEEEE!!!! CAPER COSTUMES!!! As always, the boys look fetching in hazard orange. \o/
-"Why don't you go grab a bite." Har har. Yeah, they know she knows.
-And he asks her to show him the stuff on the drive, and she's trying to figure a way out, and that's when ghost-Bobby goes ballistic, right? We shall see.
-Right, last chance to guess. It was found in Iran, so ancient Mesopotamian, or possibly something ancient or biblical, given the Leviathans were sent to Purgatory way back in the way backs and Shows penchant for messing with that general area of source material. Hm. Fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil? "The Word"? Or going another direction, something Chthonic? Map of Ry'leh? I don't think the Leviathans would be too interested in anything strictly human-generated... but maybe. Hm. No idea, but it's probably going to seem a heck of a lot less impressive than it is.. Pushing play.
-"Did we just steal a hunk of red clay?" Ooooo. In keeping with the whole Judeo-Christian thing this show tends to play with, might that be clay from Eden? Wonder what Dick Roman thinks he can do with that?
-"Dick Roman. *seeeethe*" Ahahahahahaha. DOOOOOOM! Also Oh Bobby though, because of the going vengeful thing, but if he goes and gets his vengeance, he'd just move on then, right? Not that I'm at all eager to see him go, quite the opposite. Just saying if he goes over, and takes out Dick, Sam and Dean won't have to- y'know. Deal with him. Right? ...eeep. O.o
-"Is it me or did it just drop ten degrees in here?" Hehehe. DOOOOOOM.
-"If items were deleted from the drive, would you be able to tell?" Yep, unless they were over-written afterwards with randomized data. Which would also look suspicious and have a date stamp that was something other than before they ate Frank. But Charlie would have thought of that. Right?
-"Not if they were deleted properly." Oh dear. That doesn't sound very positive.
-"Nothing's unbreakable, really. Nothing's safe if you poke at it long enough."/"Nothing's safe. I like that." Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek. O.O
-*Dick Roman goes on about the spark being one in a million and people that have it invent and make things* ...Dude. Is this spark business all a really subtle Girl Genius shout-out? That would be entirely unanticipated, and rather cool. O.o
-"'Coz I could feed every fact in your brain to somebody else and they still wouldn't be able to be you." That's reassuring. And useful. And vaguely disconcerting. Eeep. O.o
-"I guess you can't clone me."/"Don't think that doesn't piss me off." Eeeeeeeeeep.
-"Stay here, will ya? I'll be back in two shakes." YES, RUNNING NOW. THANK YOU. Gaaaah.
-"Nothing is safe, apparently." Aw. Did someone's threatening cat and mouse statements get blown back in his face? Silly Leviathan. RUN, CHARLIE!
-Ohcrapohcrapohcrapohcrap.
-YEAH BOBBY!!!!
[Uncappable clothesline of supervisor]
And finishing off with double-barreled Winchesters through the glass door. YES. That was lovely. *rewinds and repeats*
-Woof. I mean, um. Sam's, uh, obviously still working out. Yeah. Ahem.
-"You're hanging with the wrong crowd, kiddo."/"Not so fast, Dick." YEAH! *fistpump* At the same time Oh Bobby. Also at the same time, better hope the flask fell out. Or didn't fall out so Bobby can get pulled out. Or if he stays there and haunts the crap out of Dick Roman's operation maybe he can slow it down, but then... aaaaaarg. I'm just going to go with a comprehensive "Oh Bobby."
-I will say this for Dick Roman, he looks like he's having a blast even when he's getting his ass kicked.
-"Show yourself, let's do this like real-" *pause playback* Men or monsters I wonder. *restarts* "monsters." Yep.
-"You gotta do that again, that tickled." Oh great, he's baiting Bobby now. Oh god, this is not going to go well.
-And they've still got the flask with them. Oh Bobby.
-And Dick Roman is pissed. And eats the messenger with the super-evil sideburns. No surprise there.
-"Worst good luck charm ever." Dude, you have literally no idea how necessary it was that you had Bobby helping you out.
-"You think my name is really Charlie Bradbury? Please." Hee! I hope she comes back. And doesn't die. I've only heard vague things on that count, so I'm still keeping my head in the sand re info on the episodes I haven't seen.
-"She's kinda like the little sister I never wanted." Aw, Dean. You could hang out together and perve on Scarlett Johanssen while Sam rolls his eyes and sighs a lot. *pats*
-"Let's just figure out what that thing we stole is, then we'll figure out what to do with Bobby." Sounds like a plan. Except, isn't going vengeful primarily a matter of time with a case like Bobby's where he's got a reason and a known target? So.... Eeeeep.
(PLEASE, NO REFERENCES TO EPISODES PAST 7.20 IN COMMENTS! I'm catching up as fast as I can D-:.)
