Thoughts on "Reichenbach", or, WELCOME BACK, SPN!
Well, well, well, so THEY DO know how to write good eps, like they used to!
*happy dance*
Reichenbach felt like good ol' times and I'm hoping they don't screw it up once again!
Let's start with Sam, cause between him defending Dean on principle (he's also smart and he knows that IF Dean killed Cole's dad ,he HAd a good reason, but still, I loved the blind faith in his brother) and "I DON'T CARE, YOUR MY BROTHER AND I'M HERE TO TAKE YOU HOME (capslock is a MUST), I was cheering for him and rolling happily in the beauty that is SAM when it's written as the SAM we all know and love. They gave us Sam back and they'll better not take him from us again or so help me Chuck...
And then, Demon!Dean had to come and break Sam's, Baby's and OUR hearts and step repeatedly on them. over and over again.
Kudos to Jensen, cause man, he looked like Dean, talked like him but sure as hell, that WASN'T Dean. The look in his eyes, his smile, wow, just wow. The boy can act. like seriously.
What I love (/and hate, cause, c'mon, I want my Dean back :D) about Demon!Dean is that he's scary, but not in the way I would imagine. He's surely quite aggressive and violent, but hey, it's not like he was ever shy when it came to throw a punch or get in a fight. In the first part of the ep, I was actually cheering for him ,cause Lester?? I couldn't help but agreeing with Dean, even though his way of dealing with things are now quite, well, final.. ;)
The scene with Crowley was so good: the way he slowly turns and teases Crowley... THAT'S where you see how dangerous and powerful Dean really is. such an awesome scene. I'm also thinking that those two demons that witnessed it won't be around much longer....
And then we saw, what for me was the REALLY SCARY side of Demon!Dean (and I totally agree with what Jensen had said in an interview): the scariest thing for me is seeing Dean NOT CARING at all. not for his car (HIS CAR!!!!!THEIR FIRST AND TRUE HOME!!!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! He will have to apologize!!!!), not for his brother, not for ANYTHING at all. He just looks for fun, booze, and women. No weight on his shoulders, no responsibility, no guilt (all huge parts of what Dean is). I would say though, that he's still protective - beating Mary Ann's ex, defending Lester's cheating wife, and most importantly (of course), SAM. It doesn't matter how twisted Dean's soul is, he still activiely decides to get away from Sam cause he doesn't wanna hurt him - cause YES, he will hurt him if they meet again. He still leaves Sam a note, telling him to let him go. It doesn't sound like a lot, but to me, it is. Dean knows that right now he doesn't care, so he doesn't want to risk hurting Sam.
There are so many scenes I liked, the fight with Cole (how graceful and confident Dean is), the holy water (that was of course most likely ot happen, but still I was a little shocked when I first saw it!), Dean in the backseat looking might pissed and surly, and this ep could have been perfect, if only I hadn't been forced to ff the angels scenes.... but well, you can't have everything, and this week, we got a LOT.
