No gifs this time, since it's early, and I'm in a bit of a hurry.
Okay, so this episode. Didn't end like I thought it would, but yay for Bobby not being dead!
Dr. Robert was creeeeeepy.
I'm assuming Dean's letter to Ben was an explanation about what happened when he shoved him.
Death is a BAMF. That is all.
OMG YOU GUYS THEY MENTIONED ADAM IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE.... Only not, because even thought they acknowledged his existence, he still gets to rot in hell for eternity. Joy.
Dean: So my choices are Sam soulless, or Sam with a wall, and if... when it comes down, he's just done?
Me: Pretty much.
Death: Yes.
Dean: Do it.
Me: Gee, no one saw that answer coming did we? Does anyone want to take bets on how long it is before the wall comes down and Sam snaps? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Sam is a hypocrite. Dean is playing fast and loose with HIS life? I'm sorry, Samless, but what the fuck have you been doing with Dean all season? Hmm?
Hah, Dean got to the ring before you, asshat. That that.
Yes, good, Dean. Don't trust him. Don't trust him one little bit. You should have started doing that sooner, but hey, you're finally catching on now, and that's what counts, I guess.
Actually, Bobby SHOULD have just pulled a gun on Sam and locked him in the panic room. Would have saved everyone a lot of trouble.
oooooo, shiny ring!
Tessa is a BAMF too.
Yes, there's no way Tessa's rules are going to affect Dean the first time he has to kill a kid or something.
BALTHAZAR! You guys, I love Balthy for some reason. I had to LOL at "Go ask your boyfriend". The delivery was awesome. I just wish it'd been directed at Dean, but that could be my desperation for anything even remotely Dean/Cas...
"Michael and Luci are hate-banging it as we speak." I love when people on the show call him Luci XD
"I'm not a big fan of your brother, so screwing him would delight me." Must. Not. Let. Brain. Go. There.
OMG, Sam is making horcruxes XD Seriously, when Bal was talking about the requirements, all I could think was "lol, Volemort."
Harsh, Dean, letting the guy suffer like that. Dude kinda deserved it, but still XD
ROFL "that's it? A KANSAS SONG!?"
Oooooof course Dean would be told to kill a kid. Of course. The episode wouldn't be complete without it. And of course he refuses to kill her. There's no way this is gonna go bad.
Bobby is not falling for your shenanigans, Sam. Give it up..... God damn Sam's fast.
"Don't say 'here's Johnny'." Lol, I love you, Bobby. Never change XD Though I do kinda wish Sam had said "Here's Sammy!".
Ugh BOBBY YOU NEVER GO INTO THE BASEMENT DON'T GO INTO THE BASEMENT DON'T YOU WATCH HORROR MOVIES? GOD
And of course, there's the nurse Dean saw earlier. Suck it up, Dean, and just fix the mess you made...
Oooh, harsh, Tessa. But Dean did sorta deserve it. And he knows it.
Annnnd now the girl and the father are making plans. This will just be harder on the father when the girl dies, because he thought she was going to be okay. Dean would have saved them some pain if he'd just taken her earlier.
Bobby, WHY did you follow the totally-obviously-a-trap blood trail?
And now Dean's taken the ring off. Of course. Because the episodes are never complete until all of the things the Winchesters are told they MUST NOT DO have been done.
I knew beforehand that Death still gave Sam his soul back, so I wasn't worried about that.
I like that Dean went back and finished the job, even if he could have just left it. I felt sorry for the girl, and the dad, though.
And Dean saves Bobby. And punches Sam. Awesome!
Ohai Death! Give Dean the talking to he needs.
More talk about the value of souls. WTF is going on with this?
Keep digging at what? KEEP DIGGING AT WHAT? Why does Death have to be cryptic?
Is the wall thing going to work? Of course it's not going to work. The wall will collapse and we'll get to see him completely break down.
Oooh, Sam is shiny.
"Do me a favor; don't scratch the wall. Because, trust me, you're not gonna like what happens." Yeah, that's gonna happen.
YAY FOR SAMMY BEING BACK GTFO SAMLESS.
Final thoughts; good episode. Hell, it could have been utter crap, and I would have liked it because Samless is FINALLY FUCKING GONE, Hallelujah!
I'm going to quote what a friend of mine said last night, because he put into words exactly what I was feeling: "fuck Sam. I'm getting sick of Sam. The plot has hardly gone anywhere this season, and it's because everything has taken a back seat to Sam and his soullessness. They should have given him his soul back a few episodes in, and got on to the actually interesting plotlines. The first half of the season would have been far less weak without all the soulless Sam crap getting in the way of the war, and the monsters, and purgatory."
I'm looking forward to the second half of the season so much more than I've really looked forward to any episode so far in the first half (excluding The Third Man, because OMG CAS' RETURN and Weekend at Bobby's). Now I just have to hope that I can like Sam again, now he has his soul.
BRING ON JAN 28TH!
And now I'm going back to watching Avatar: the Last Airbender.
