Okay, so, I'm all "WTF?" about this episode as I wait for it to air...
But anyway, here be the notes:
Notes:
OH MY GOD, CHUCK. ARE YOU GONNA BE IN THIS EPISODE? OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD.
Hello, stripper. Hello, stripper who can tell that his life is crap. I love how obvious you are, Dean. You can't even lie convincingly to a stripper.
Okay, so, uh, this is what I saw in the promo.
If this is Chuck's doing, I'm laugh, and angst a lot.
This I think is probably the most ridiculous...holy shit, is Sam marrying Becky?
HOLY CRAP WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? WHAT THE FLYING FUCK INVOLVING NINJAS AND CRAP?
Becky, I want to like you, but you're kind of a ditz. And you really shouldn't marry creepy things. Like Sam. Sam is a creepy thing. I love you, but WHAT THE HELL?
We seriously need ourselves some angels or soemthing. CHUCK, WHERE THE CRAP ARE YOU NOW?
I don't like Guy. He's kind of...creepy. And what did he just give Becky?
SOMETHING IS GOING TO GO TERRIBLY HORRIBLY WRONG. AND SOON. PROBABLY BEFORE THE FIRST COMMERCIAL BREAK.
This is so weird.
LUCI IS THAT YOU? IT BETTER BE YOU.
Oh, no, just a love potion. Damnit, Becky. Of course they're all creepy -- it's a Sam-girlfriend.
Oh, hello bad guy. Nice to meet you.
Okay commercial break. Damn it, Becky. We need to put Chuck on this, stat. Chuck ought to go and, I don't know, rewrite reality or something. Or bring Cas back, either or. I'mm not picky.
Seriously, Becky? I DON'T LIKE YOU RIGHT NOW.
Dean, I agree something fierce with you, darling. And Dean.
Ho, shit, Sam, you just pushed the giant fucking button of doom on this man. You are so getting screwed over here.
Becky, you're a super-creep. Sam, I feel like you're about to go fuckin' nuts. Nuts, like, Lucifer-crazy.
And I immediately don't like the temp that Dean's borrowed. He's kind of an idiot. But he's caught that Dean's an intimidating bastard.
Oh my God, Becky just brained Sam with a waffle iron! That is too hilarious.
Second set of commercials, and I must say, this Garth guy is kind of funny. He reminds me of Chuck, just around the eyes. And I must say, though, not all demon-deals come due in ten years -- John got instants, Dean got one year, Bobby managed to get his soul back, but was running low on time when he did. This makes me rather derpy.
Hi Sam. You're tied to a bed, pantsless. I love you. Becky, I'm totally unsurprised.
BECKY DON'T DO IT! DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE. IF YOU DO THIS, I'MMA GANK YOUR ASS. NOT GUY THE GAY DEMON EVENT PLANNER.
Oh, Garth, you silly, silly man.
BECKY. Oh, thank goodness. Oh, god, Becky. Also, don't you dare. FUCK YOU, BECKY. FUCK YOU. AND NOT IN THE FUN, SAM-DEAN-AND-CAS-AND-YOU FOURSOME KIND OF WAY.
I swear, this bitch needs to die, now. NOW. Ganking time now, plzkthnx? I don't want to hate her, but she's kind of a screwed up mess, and so I must say, she fits right in when it comes to women that Sam has boned.
Oh, Guy, you are a badass little fucking...and your in...
CROWLEY! CROWLEY! OH MY GOD, I LOVE YOU. IT IS WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU AGAIN. THAT WAS TOTALLY SURPRISING BUT ABSOLUTELY AWESOME.
AND I LOVE THAT YOU HAVE MORE INTEGRITY THAN WALL STREET, CROWLS.
Seriously, this is a hilarious episode now. Also, Crowley is rockin' the John-Winchester-on-the-run stubble. Looking good, my man. Looking good. Has your boyfran seen you yet like this? You better go check that out, since he did have somethin' goin' on back in ep 6 with that sheriff chick. So, my advice: share the yummy facial hair with your crush, and keep hold of something other than his soul. Something a little more...carnal, say?
OMG, SAM, YOU'RE HOOKING GARTH AND BECKY UP? I LOVE YOU.
Also, I must say, I find it hilarious that Dean gets the creepy dudes and Sam gets the creepy chicks.
And that was an...odd...way to end the ep. It doesn't look good, given the expression on our dear Dean's face. It looks like he might need to have someone to take care of. He's absolutely the type. Even when he was off being "normal" with Lisa and Ben, he still had someone to take care of, so it doesn't strike me as at all odd. I'm now highly worried about this little bastard. CAS, STOP BEING DEAD.
Ooh, this promo looks really, really interesting. The Jersey Devil? I'm gonna have to go read up on my lore here.
Now, for the Meta:
First of all, Crowley. I FUCKING LOVE CROWLEY. Just, how he shows up so randomly to help the boys out of a bind, because one of his demons is breaking protocol with his deals? Fantastic. And the facial hair...I really like the facial hair. Like, really. I'm kind of attracted to him now. Between the class, the devilish attitude, and the scruff...dear me, I may have yet another crush on this show.
Second of all, Becky. Oh, Becky. This girl is ridiculous. I mean, I'm not a Samgirl at all -- too much crazy in that skull of his, and too much bitchy sometimes -- but I get why she's into him. But the whole love potion shtick? She should know better. You don't get yourself mixed up in forces you don't intimately understand. And no, being a Supernatural fan does not suddenly make you an expert on the things that go bump in the night. *sigh* She gives us fangirls a bad name. But hey, she did redeem herself by killing the demon intern with Ruby's knife...hey, looks like we've gotten that knife into two of Sam's crazy girlfriends' hands now. And she didn't die, after all, which is good.
Third, Guy the Demon -- you totally had it coming. Crowley is a demon, yes, but he plays by the rules. He doesn't seek out the loopholes in a deal just to get more souls faster! You lack integrity, Guy, so I hope that you make a fine example to the rest of Hell on what not to do as a Crossroads demon.
Fourth: Dear me, but I think that there are going to be things soon. We're drawing close to the midseason cliffhanger now, which is supposed to be lore-heavy and Leviathan-centred. My hope is that the cliffie will consist of Cas showing up, soaking wet and without his coat, in whatever motel room that the boys are staying at, and then the episode fading to black on a shot of Dean's face as he reacts to his angel's reappearance. But that's just how my soul hopes it will go. More likely, the cliffhanger will involve a Winchester in mortal danger, which is nice and all, but fairly standard fare.
And now that the SPN portion of this post is over, allow me to shriek and flail over the awesomesauce week I've had. I got to wear my costume for the play, and it is absolutely adorable. I've got this floaty, knee-length red dress, a black vest, red satin gloves, and a tiny lampshade for a hat. I'm going to ask the costume girl if I could maybe make my ears pointy for the show -- since I have lines but no wings (only Peaseblossom, Mustardseed, Moth, and Cobweb get wings).
Also, on Thursday my church group had a sleepover party. I didn't stay the night, but I was there until ten-thirty. At around eight, one of our members (who is both Oberon and the lighting guy for the show) called his mom (one of our leaders) to ask her to bring him a box of things he needed, so we all piled into his mom's little minivan. It was a seven-seater, but there were nine of us, so two people sat in the trunk on the way there. We brought him the box of stuff and derped around on stage while he used it.
Then, I noticed that the boxes that the lights come in were about my size, so I thought, and expressed to one of the other girls, "Hey, I bet I could fit in there," and I climbed in. My 4'9.5" frame only just fit, but I was just lying in there straight out like a corpse, which was highly amusing. Oberon saw me and put the lid on the box, and then him and the Lion carried me to a corner of the stage, where pictures were taken of me in the box. I thought the whole situation was absolutely hilarious. And then we left the school to go back to our friend's house (she's our other leader's daughter, and the meetings are held there), and I shoddied the trunk with one other girl, and that was fun.
So what have I learned? I am not in fact afeared of closed-in spaces, and riding in the trunk is fun. Yay!
I am however behind on my NaNo and on a paper I'm writing about Richard III. But, OMG, Richard Gloucester is magnificent! I can't even...he's a horrible person, but you have to admire his skill. He's so good at being bad, I could swoon. And he says he can't get a girlfriend? There are really no girls in England who would fall hard for his charisma and skill at what he does? Idiot females...
