SPN 3x16
Dear fandom: please to be awake and chatty now.
OK, first of all, being unspoiled? Was fucking awesome. However, I am NEVER DOING IT AGAIN, because I am TRAUMATIZED. When the blood started spurting out of Dean's chest, I lost my shit completely, and I am still hiccuping every couple minutes. Jesus GOD THE ENDING. WTF SAMMY. Why wasn't Lilith able to obliterate Sam??? Why did she lose her powers!? WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED. *ENDLESS FLAIL!!!*
I don't think I will be able to watch that scene Sam weeping over Dean's body ever again. I just...no. SAMMY.
This episode was everything I hoped it would be, pretty much. Favorite things:
- Dean baiting Ruby into fighting him and stealing her knife and then trapping her, and his entire plan being based on his understanding of Sam's total inability to stop trying to throw his life away for Dean. *wibble*
- Sam totally having powers. Duh. I'm kind of disappointed he didn't use them (yet), or at least didn't use them consciously (and that's been the thing all along, hasn't it?) - but I loved, LOVED, that so much of Dean's determination that Sam not use them was based on breaking the cycle and not seeing Sam go darkside. He sees the road and doesn't want Sam on it. That was awesome.
- The goodbye scene, and how much went unsaid, and how much Dean said with the few words he chose, and the way they LOOKED AT EACH OTHER, and how when it came right down to brass tacks, Dean still tried to make a run for it, fighting to the end.
- Bobby getting right into Dean's face and calling him on his shit, and the hallucinations, and telling him family doesn't end with blood. BOBBY ILU.
- Hahaha, the creepy Lilith-kid and her 'vacation' - if you're going to steal from one of the all-time classic episodes of Twilight Zone, that's how you do it. Although I was kind of hoping she'd wish someone away into the cornfield. *g*
- Singing along to Bon Jovi! Dean did that just for Sam. You know he did. That goes all the way back to BUABS, and Sam-Meg registering as what was it, Richie Sambora? \o/! And Sam's shy little grin, that turned into full-out glee and off-key singing, and the look on Dean's face, the way it transformed. OMG.
- The way Sam on the floor summoning Ruby was so much like John summoning Azazel.
- Dean's insistence on breaking the self-sacrificial pattern, and all the gorgeously emotional speeches that went with that, right down to Dean crying about the things they will do for each other, and how much they are each others' weaknesses.
- Dean's ability to see demons' true faces. Hey, when he comes back from hell, can he keep that? BECAUSE HE IS COMING BACK FROM HELL. SAMMY IS GOING TO GET HIM. YES HE IS. *cries a little more*
What the hell is Sam going to do with Dean's body????? WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. My heart can't take this. I have forgotten a boatload of stuff I loved about this episode. My brain isn't functioning! OMFG. I'm so sorry for the capslock abuse. BUT I CAN'T HELP IT.
