I worked until 7, then I chose to take the bus because I didn't feel like making the walk home from the subway, and then I missed the bus and the next local bus never came so I ended up walking almost twice as much as I would have had I taken the subway. Sigh. And don't even get me started on the MTA and the way the govt keeps screwing us on this...ugh.
Let's talk happy things. Like Supernatural: Heaven and Hell.
She ripped out her grace? And it landed in Kentucky. Ahahahahahaha! I'm sorry. I have to laugh and laugh at that before I continue.
Okay, I'm back, though I can't guarantee that won't make me laugh again.
Fallen angels become human, humans in hell become demons. This is a very ... interesting cosmology they've set up. So how is Lucifer a demon?
(I admit, before that reveal, I wondered if Lucifer was her angry daddy, or if she was a daughter of the nephilim or something, so. And hey, wasn't the sin of those angels sleeping with the daughters of men? So not only did Anna fall like Lucifer, she reenacted the sins of those angels. I hope Dean's not pregnant!)
Only four angels have seen the face of God. Uriel should be one of them, I think, along with Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, though if Anna was Uriel's boss, I'm guessing not.
"Try J-Date." "She may have sent the angels to the outfield..." Hee!
Pam! Pam is back! *hearts* She calls Sam grumpy again and gropes him, and Dean just looks so pleased about it. I could totally ship her with Dean. And they didn't kill her! They didn't kill any of the women either! (though Ruby got tortured and Anna ...ascended? was assumed into heaven? was re-angelated?) (I am okay with Pam leaving here because it means she didn't get killed! So she can come back! And have sex with Dean! And hey, she had her eyes burned out by angels. I don't blame her for booking. I am totally picturing Dean and Pam having a passel of kickass little psychic hunter girl children who have their daddy wrapped around their little fingers. *sigh*)
"Dude, you're confusing reality with porn again." And then again in the car. "An angel and a demon riding in the backseat. Like the setup to a bad joke. Or a letter to Penthouse forum." "Dude, reality. porn." "You call this reality?" Oh, show, so meta.
Castiel and Anna had a history, huh. I am sure the Dean/Castiel shippers are gonna be all over that. As well as the fact that Castiel canonically Likes Dean, and also that look he gives them when Anna kisses and forgives Dean. And then Dean saves him. Castiel is apparently a young'un, huh. What is Alistair saying when he's doing whatever an exorcism on an angel is called?
Dean's pop culture references make me laugh. Roma Downey. Why does he know that? WHY DEAN?
Also, the thing with her grace... okay, I'm not going to laugh again, except I totally am. Um. Okay, not laughing now, and this reminds me of Lucifer (in Lucifer) trying to get his wings back.
Godzilla v. Mothra. Picasso with a razor. Oh, Ruby, I wish I liked your actress better, because you are kind of awesome. So what is this thing that Sam isn't going to do anymore to get his mojo back into shape?
Oh, falling angels, falling anvils, parallels between Dean and Anna so they can have the backseat sexin'. With Bad Co. on the soundtrack. *dies* I think it's hilarious that Dean shags an angel and Sam shags a demon. And Dean totally always lets the woman be on top - less work for him, and a nice view. Plus he's all soulful eyes and deep, wet kisses, unlike Sam's bitey mcgraberson. And look at that - he takes the amulet off. And she covers the hand print. Mmm... shirtless Dean having sex in the backseat. He knows the optimal way to have sex in that car, obviously.
And Dean, Dean wants to be free of doubt and feelings. Oh, Dean. With his unquestioning obedience to and faith in a distant father. Except men can't become angels (per Houses of the Holy). I really like the look he and Ruby share when Sam's all, "Anna must be happy to be an angel again," and Dean is like, "I don't think so." Oh, Dean.
Uriel threatens Sam, and Dean trades Anna for him, though I'm not sure how they knew Uriel would visit Dean in his sleep for him to give Anna up. I love that Sam finally had a plan that worked. And that he was all smug about it. See, their acting there was MUCH BETTER than in the attempted hustle scene last week. And I believe that Dean would give up Anna for Sam, as much as it would hurt him, and that she would forgive him for it. (Also! That was my idea for them to fight each other too!)
Uriel can come around and threaten the boys any time he likes. *hearts*
That whole Ruby torture scene was really awful to watch, but for once I didn't feel it was gratuitous, even with her boobs popping over the strap. Was Alistair channeling Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter? Also, Alistair+1943=Mengele, y/y?
Okay, so did that flash of angelic light just send Alistair back to hell, or did it obliterate him?
And then the whole Raiders of the Lost Ark business with Anna re-angelating. Hee!
And then the ending. Oh, Dean. And look! More than one tear! Go Jensen.
I mock because I love.
Seriously, though, I think because I expected the confession to be of much, much worse things (and hey, there's still possibly more), the confession itself is sort of anticlimatic (much like the reveal in Hunted), but what it's doing to Dean - oh, Dean... it's hell. Breaking people is what it does. And seriously, Sam, a HUG would have been good there. This is not like the end of CSPWDT - I mean, Sam still can't make this any better, but here I think the contact would have been more helpful, and also, Sam had to have been expecting something like this eventually (unlike at the end of CSPWDT, where he pushed for answers he wasn't ready to hear). And hey, possibly now Sam will realize that Dean can understand what it's like to have evil inside. (as an aside, please to be writing me some Dean/Bela in hell fic, because you KNOW Bela got up off that rack pretty early on.)
I really want icons of that last scene, though. I adore icons where they're shoulder to shoulder but facing in different directions. And just so close. And leaning on the car drinking beer. Icons. Yes. Make them for me, please.
So a fine effort, as long as I don't think too hard about the mechanics of the cosmology being set up. Oh, Kripke, you try. I'll give you credit for that.
I *heart* my show, but I am not sure I can stand an eight week hiatus. *whimper* Let the fic writing begin.
