Who gave me the Gold Star? How awesome are you? Thank you ever so much and feel free to present yourself for me to squee at or to remain anonymous and receive my indirect adoration!
And I am way behind on comments and friending and stuff but... SHOW.
Oh show, I love you so so much! Last night wasn't my favourite ever episode but it was still a damn good episode. Shall I do things I'm not squeeful about first?
Ruby. I'm sorry. I keep trying. And I love fanon!Ruby but Katie Cassidy will keep posing.

Look, you've kicked a door in. That's a badass thing to do. You don't need to pose about it afterwards. You have a pretty interesting storyline and I'm really hoping you're a lying liar who lies because then you'd have played Sam and Dean pretty much better than any other demon who'd come before, but stop bloody trying so hard. You could be awesome, darling. Really you could.
On that note, I do hope Ruby is actually a bad-guy, or at least more complicated than a demon who's deep-down good at heart, because it just disappoints me too much otherwise. I don't want Bela to be a poor little misunderstood girl. I want her to be a ruthless, self-oriented woman. And I want Ruby to be a smart, calculating demon who's capable of playing the long game.
The mythology was almost perfect. I'm very happy with the idea that humans who get damned to Hell end up becoming demons because then someone needs to be writing the Leader in the West holding Dean's contract and keeping him in Hell to turn him demon so he can have demon!Dean leading his army against Sam because how would that be for crushing Sam's morale? And then they could have a very fraught reunion on the battlefield where Ruby has to wonder whether she's made Sam strong enough to be able to kill his own brother and also wondering whether Dean will remember enough of being human to not want to kill Sam and then there could be porn.
But I'm not thrilled about all demons used to be human. Though actually, Ruby was careful to specify that all the demons she'd met used to be human but I sincerely doubt she's met every demon ever. I just don't like the corruption of that. I don't want all demons to have once been human just as I was uncomfortable with nice-demon!Casey (although the actress was totally adorable and Casey/Dean would have made me squee). I think it comes back to me liking my spectrum of good and evil with demons at the very far end. Evil incarnate and distinct from humans. Fallen angels, please.
I love-love-loved that Elizabeth was the one to buy them enough time to defeat Tammy!demon. I love that they only survived because a frightened, normal woman used what she'd learnt from the demon against it. I wish she'd lived. Though wasn't it cool when blonde!witch (name escapes me beyond Van Allen, sorry) got her head kind of smacked round? And actually, wasn't Tammy!demon downright awesome? I loved her 'questions, comments' line. And her eyes were spectacular - doe-like but also very scary when she was being evil.
And when Dean sticks a knife in someone he makes sure of the job. Go Dean! I love you! Dean was exceptionally pretty this episode, but so was Sam. It was hard to concentrate on the story - what there was of it - when Dean was on screen and when both Sam and Dean were on screen it was damn near impossible.
Dean and the rabbit! Dean, I love you so so so much!
But why is Sammy all accepting that Dean's going to Hell? Don't try to prepare for life without Dean, Sam, refuse to let him go! Bully Ruby into saving Dean like she said she would - though I don't think she's lying about not being able to save Dean. But Sammy doesn't know that! I hate that he's all accepting about it. Yes, he's torn up but I don't want him accepting it. You're the Demon Jesus, Sammy! Tell them they can't have your Dean!
And Dean being all flaily and bloody and reaching out for Sam! And Sam left him there! I know he had to in order to go kick down doors and wave the Colt around and be amazingly badass (Katie, take note, Jared did not pose once he kicked the door down) but still, poor Dean, all spluttery and alone! And then Ruby squirted that stuff in his mouth - and yes, Dean knows what arse tastes like - and wow, that was a mess. All that blood and nasty stuff? Ick.
The blood and teeth at the beginning was very cool, especially with the chanting. But it was the maggots that actually made me have to look away. Maggots and worms are just dreadful.
Erm, yes. I think that's all for now. But eeeee! Show!
