Okay, you guys. I can't even remember the last time I not only flailed myself half to death over an episode of anything like this, much less re-watched it on the same night, and took notes. Yikes. So here we are.
You Shook Me All Night Long, indeed. Don't really get the significance of that as a recap song, but it would work for me and Dean. *cough*
Those flashes of Dean in Hell are creepy, as is having to watch him wake up and dig himself out of his own grave. He won't even need Hell flashbacks to have plenty of nightmares. I'm not even sure how you could do that without suffocating from the dirt, so I'm pretty sure Dean had to be less than six feet under to pull that off. Because I've seen the man dig up plenty of graves, and that just doesn't seem possible to do from underneath. (I know, like most of this show is possible.)
If the circumstances of Dean's resurrection are true, then why does it look like his gravesite has become unholy ground? Or the site of a nuclear explosion? Because those are some toothpick trees right there. Yikes.
The new intro is freaking me out, but I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND IT NOW. That's still a lot of flapping, though.
That was a conveniently located and deserted gas station, huh? Food, water, car. Pretty nifty, except for the ear piercing high frequencies, and the exploding sugar glass. (Oh, come on, poor Dean would have been cut to pieces.)
Mmmm, nudity. It has forever been my opinion that Jensen Ackles is wearing too many clothes at any given time (see: any, and all the time), and they refuse to take advantage of the fact that he has an absolutely gorgeous body that makes me swallow my tongue. On the rare occasion I get to see it. So I do wonder what they had to bribe him with to get him to raise his shirt up. I don't care what it was, I just want screencaps. Also, I want them to give him his next biggest wish so perhaps he can wander around, in a well lit room, with his shirt off for more than .5 seconds. I hate to be shallow (no, I don't), but the CW insists on all the girls on its network wandering around naked/half-clothed, then insists on keeping its hottest employee fully clothed? It's sexist, and also means there's no justice in this world. NAKEDDEANRIGHTNOW!!!!!!
Uh, where the hell was I? The show, right.
So Dean gets his eardrums busted, calls Bobby, who refuses to believe it's him, and lights out in a hotwired clunker.
He shows up on Bobby's doorstep, and of course Bobby's first instinct is to kill him. Plz to not be doing that, Bobby. We lost him once, let's not do that again. He backs off, tries again, Dean fends him off, says he's not a shapeshifter or anything. Then he proves it, by slicing his perfect arm. *sigh* If he keeps pushing his sleeves up this season, I'm gonna pass out.
Almost convinced, he lets Dean come closer, (and after an intense hug) only to throw holy water right in his face. I laugh hysterically as Jensen pulls a perfect "I can't believe you just did that" face and spits out a tiny fountain of water. hee
Dean, convinced Sam must have made another crossroads deal with a demon ("Let's Make a Demon Deal"! Is this show also hosted by Howie Mandel? Because it so could be.), interrogates Bobby, but Bobby doesn't know where Sam is. He's alive as far as he knows, but that's it. They've both gotten so lost in their own grief that they're both a wreck and not keeping in touch like they should.
Would a phone company of ANY kind really take a customer by the name of a Star Wars character? Really? Sammy's such a nerd.
Bobby's been drinking enough to fuel an entire liquor store, and Dean notices. Oh, that look. Oh, Dean.
They find Sam and go to see him, and when Sam sees Dean, Jared left his acting skills in his trailer. I love the guy, but he does that sometimes. Or maybe Jensen just makes him look like he does. I dunno.
Of course, the first thing Sam does is try to kill Dean, and Bobby tells him they've already been through this (heh) and that it's really, truly him. Then my favorite line of the night comes when Sam looks all busted up and goes, "Dean?" to which Dean replies, "I know, I look fantastic, huh?" HEE! *giggles hysterically* YES, YOU DO!
Then they hug like a couple of girls. Which is really, really sweet, but then it's so sweet that the tramp in her panties in Sam's hotel room thinks they are "together". Oh, the gay jokes never stop coming. Funny and revolting all at the same time. They're brothers, people! Geez. Dean's look of disbelief at this chick is hilarious, though.
Oh, Sammy, Sammy, Sammy. Trampy, lying Sammy.
Dean's been back from hell, what? Six hours? And he already has a shadow of a beard. He is ALL man.
Bobby wonders if Dean came back right, because who knows with this stuff? Sam gives him his necklace back, so the circle of reunions are almost complete. Sam asks him if he remembers anything, and he doesn't, at least right now. But what happens when he starts? That is not gonna be fun.
Bobby recommends a psychic to find out who got him out, and Sam and Dean head out to the car. Dean is reunited with the Metallicar, and the circle is complete. Sam has installed a horrifying iPod jack, and when Dean cranks the car there is music coming out of it that not even girls would listen to. He rips it out and throws it in the back. Thank God.
Sam tells Dean what happened after he died, and I'm pretty sure the fact that he was immune to Lilith makes him the anti-Christ or something. Eesh. He also tells him that he has not been using his crazy psychic powers, but it's all lies, lies, lies.
I kind of liked Pam, and the actress seems familiar, though I can't place her on my own or with IMDb. *shrug* Dean's scrunchy eyes are cute during the seance, but getting your eyes burned out, like our new friend Pam did, would totally suck.
Dean and Sam go to a diner to discuss things and eat pie (which is apparently what you do after someone's eyes are burned out), and it turns out to be a demon possessed diner. Of course. They're both visibly freaking, but the demons aren't going to kill them, because they're freaked out too and want to know what the boys know. The only problem is no one knows what's going on, or why Dean got pulled back, and everyone's flipping out about it.
Dean slaps the waitress demon around, which I happen to like, and if anyone cries misogyny, I will slap them. It totally does not count if it's a demon. When Dean starts slapping real girls around (which I doubt), I'll be upset.
They're super relieved when they actually walk out alive.
Sam leaves Dean sleeping in the motel and he is awakened by more electronics turning themselves on, and ear piercing screeching (Poor Dean! Poor me!) and glass shattering everywhere. Bobby rescues him before he can be sliced like a Christmas ham.
All this lying has got to catch up to them eventually. Sam HAS been more than just dabbling in his ESP, and he can draw the demon out of people with nothing but his mind. Which is both handy and scary. No wonder the demons are afraid, or they should be but they don't know it yet.
Good or evil? Good or evil? Eek. Ruby/Sam? Y/N? Is that really what's going on here, and also, is she the same chick from the motel because it's hard to tell. Either way, I liked Katie Cassidy way better.
Dean and Bobby are trying to attract the what the heck ever it is that saved Dean. That is so totally not the wind trying to knock that barn down. Sorry, Dean. A man approaches, all lightning and panel-rattling, fends off both men, and knocks Bobby out with some kind of mind whammy.
He says he needs to talk with Dean, alone, and then he tells him that he's the one who "gripped [him] hard and pulled [him] from Perdition". If you want to put it that way, okie dokie.
Then he reveals he is an Angel of the Lord, and my mouth dropped open.
Dean doesn't believe this, because apparently he believes in evil and demons, but not good and angels, when I believe one cannot exist without the other. "Good things happen," the Angel tells him. "Not in my experience," Dean snarls back.
Then he tells Dean he has no faith (a recurring issue at this point), and bright light flashes, exposing big, dark amazing wings. Now Dean is truly freaked. He tells Dean that he thought he could handle his true visage, whereas most mere humans could not, but apparently he couldn't, because it was his voice that shattered glass and his image that burned out the eyes of those who saw his face. That goes with all the Biblical statements that you can't look upon God without dying (or your face/eyes melting), so it probably goes for all holiness.
He tells Dean that he doesn't feel like he deserves to be saved, and the pain, the almost-but-taken-back-at-the-last-second snarl on his face just kills me. He doesn't think he deserves anything good or to be saved, and that's a recurrent theme as well.
Dean asks Casstiel why he was saved and he says, "God commanded it. We have work for you to do."
OMG. I SO hope that he really is an angel, and this is totally true. That good finally wants to make its stand, and Dean is really chosen by God to lead it. Then if Sam is on the flipside, on Satan's payroll, this is going to get GOOD.
Also, Casstiel's "visage" tonight was hot, and I don't know why. I've seen him before, too. He's only guested in some shows I watch, so I don't know why he's so familiar.
Anyway, my fears are allayed for now. This season is already KICKASS!
I so need to go to bed now.
