SPN 4x22 episode reaction
SPN 4x22 (Lucifer Rising) SPOILERS
*Okay, I get that “Carry On My Wayward Son” is, like, an unofficial theme song for the show or whatever, but do they have to use it for EVERY SEASON FINALE “THEN” SEGMENT EVER? I mean, mix it up, guys, throw in another lyrically significant rock song.
*Demons, angels, more demons…yup, more angels. I miss the days when the only thing the boys had to worry about was wailing on boogiemen and doing salt-n-burns.
*Demonic!Priest? I THOUGHT OF THIS, LMAO
*Calling a nun a slut? Uh, how about no.
*Yellow eyes. Another high-ranking demon like the YED or maybe one of the YED's demonspawn like Meg?
*Fuckin Ruby. GTFO
*“There’s no going back now…Dean’s better off as far away from me as possible”? My antichrist senses are tingling!
*Wah, wah, wah, Dean’s abandonment issues are showing
*FUCK YES BOBBY! Someone finally called out Dean for being a whiny little bitch
*Snacktime’s over, babyeater! LOL
*Haha, Dean’s heaven has beer and hamburgers
*“The Sweet Life of Zach and Cas”?? Are you KIDDING ME? Did the show seriously just reference THE MOTHERFUCKING DISNEY CHANNEL? ZOMG, I bet Dean so wishes he were one of The Cheetah Girls, he watches the movies all the time when Sam’s out eating demonblood. THERE SHOULD BE A WHOLE EPISODE DEVOTED TO THAT, INCLUDING DEAN PERFORMING THE SONG AND DANCE NUMBERS BY HEART. MAKE IT HAPPEN, KRIPKE, I KNOW YOU’RE READING.
*…That whole Ginger and Mary-Anne offer was weird, I don’t buy that Zachariah is a heavenly pimp
*Holodeck? Was that a Star Trek shoutout?
*Hello close-ups of Dean’s face
*Castiel’s been such a little bitch this episode, I hope he quits this shit and turns back into a badass soonish
*ZOMG HAND OF FURY!!! LOL
*They have cell phone reception in heaven? (On a sidenote: LMAO, I knew this bitch would fold and call his bro back for a little make-up sex before the day was done! Too bad Sam is too busy torturing babyeater with his Devon Sawa hands)
*This episode is not being kind to vagina owners. Stop the death and torture!
*How come the guest stars/disposable secondary characters/random extras in the background fake-talking consistently out-act the pants off Genevieve Cortese? Probably because GC’s “acting” sucks alligator nuts and she was grossly, terribly miscast.
*The Lucifer!voice speaking through the dead nun was freaky-deeky. Also, I didn’t quite get before that the demon!priest that killed the nuns was from the 70’s, so that actually WAS the original YED. Hmm. And apparently Lucifer needs Lilith AND a demonkid to bust free, hence the YED’s baby breeding program. Though I don’t understand why the YED would then make his demonkids KILL EACH OTHER OFF-I mean, I know he only wanted the best, but leaving them all alive would have given him a way bigger margin for error (basically, the YED is putting all his eggs in one basket. Or, er, demonkid, as it were). Also, this pretty much confirms that Sam’s going to be the vessel for the antichrist, and I bet Ruby has been working for Lilith the whole time to get him ready for that role.
*“Hellbitch”? Oh, that’s rich coming from you, Ruby
*Evil!Sam (or close enough) locking a sacrificial woman in the backseat during the eve of the apocalypse? Yeah, I’ve seen that already as well
*“Planetary enema”? Oh, Zachariah, you are so deliciously awful
*Brady Bunch reference followed immediately by a Russell Crowe reference? They’re hiting pop culture pretty hard tonight
*So Dean’s going to have to fight Lucifer. How much do you want to bet that Lucifer will be (or will be inhabiting) Sam?
*Castiel knew about this?
*Wooow, Castiel’s “There’s nothing on earth left to save!!” mini-rant reminded me really strongly of that Leeloo scene at the end of The Fifth Element. I ttly thought Dean was going to pull a Bruce Willis there and be, like, “Yes there is! There’s LOVE! #smooches#”
*NOOOOO THEY CHANGED THE MESSAGE! THOSE BITCHES!
*Wall-throwing? Me like-y!
*Holy shit, I really thought that Castiel was going to tell Dean to drink his blood for a moment there, like a shot of angelic espresso
*Er, did Castiel have to use QUITE so much blood to make the prisonbreak rune? Too much, dude. I was squicked
*Whoa, Lilith is the final seal. Interesting! I wasn’t expecting that
*Oh no, I hope the archangels don’t kill Castiel! (Who, BTW, just totally proved his hopelessly devoted gaylove for Dean)
*Ruby you BITCH!
*FUCK YES RUBY IS DEAD ZOMG YAAAAY RUBY IS MOTHERFUCKING DEAD, FINALLY!!!! ^____________^
*I DON’T EVEN CARE THAT SAM AND DEAN HAVE TO BATTLE LUCIFER THE NEXT SEASON, RUBY IS DEAD, FUCKYES!!! #FISTPUMP# YES YES YES I HAVE NOT FELT THIS MUCH JOY THE WHOLE SEASON
So overall this was an okay episode, with the definite highlight being THE SHOW FINALLY KILLING OFF THE WASTE OF SPACE THAT WAS GENEVIEVE CORTESE’S RUBY.
I hope the show has had its fill of killing off women, though-seriously, murdering Lilith, Ruby, babyeater, and a room full of nuns in one episode and NO dudes at all (except maybe Castiel, but I hope not because I like him!) is a little ridiculous even for SPN.
On another note, why wasn’t Dean’s neck bruised and his face all smashed up from the beatdown/strangle-mangle Sam gave him at the end of the last episode? DON’T CHEAT US OF HURT!DEAN, SHOW.
Also, it’ll be interesting to see what the show does with Sam and Dean as characters and their relationship with one another in the next season. Hopefully the writers won’t fuck it up as bad as they did this season.
ETA: Why didn't Sam or Dean try to stop Lilith's blood from crawling around on the floor and opening up Lucifer's cage??? All this apocalyptic bullshit could have been stopped if someone had used a friggin towel!
