SPOILERS FOR SPN 5.21 AND 5.22 (5.22 HIDDEN, THOUGH)
THEY DID IT.
THEY FUCKING DID IT.
THEY STRAPPED ON THEIR BRASS BALLS AND SAID, “FUCK IT, DIAL THIS SHIT TO ELEVEN.”
THIS EPISODE HAD ALMOST EVERYTHING I WANTED IN SUPERNATURAL.
1) RECON, AND SHOWING IT. I MISSED IT WHEN SAM AND DEAN WOULD GO OUT AND DO ACTUALLY SLEUTHING-TYPE STUFF. I’M A WEIRDO IN THAT I LOVE FACTS, EVEN FAKE-FACTS, AND I LOVE EXPLANATIONS. SO I LOVE IT WHEN THEY SHOW THE HOWS AND WHYS OF WHAT GOES ON. THAT SCENE WITH SAM AND DEAN IN THE MONITOR ROOM? MADE ME SO HAPPY.
2) BOBBY WALKS AGAIN. OH MAN, I’M SO HAPPY BOBBY CAN WALK AGAIN. :D GRANTED, I STILL THINK HE WAS AN ASSHOLE TO CAS. I KNOW, I KNOW, I’M BEING UNFAIR BECAUSE BOBBY’S LIFE SUCKS TOO, BUT THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOME LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING THERE. CAS IS GRIEVING THE LOSS OF EVERYTHING HE ONCE WAS, BOBBY. YOU SHOULD KNOW. HELL, I’D SAY THAT CAS LOSING HIS GRACE AND BECOMING HUMAN IS THE SAME TYPE OF EMOTIONAL TRAUMA THAT BOBBY EXPERIENCED WHEN HE LOST THE ABILITY TO WALK. SO BAD BOBBY. BAD.
3)CROWLEY WAS AWESOME. DO I HAVE TO EXPAND? OKAY, I WILL. :D HE’S A BLOODY COWARD AND PRICKLY AND MEAN AND SNARKY AND JESUS EXACTLY WHAT I’VE ALWAYS WANTED FOR THIS SHOW. THE VILLAIN PROTAGONIST. I LOVE THEM, BECAUSE THEY’RE SO INTERESTING. AND CROWLEY IS PERFECT. PLUS HE GAVE BOBBY HIS LEGS BACK. FUCKING AWESOME.
3)AWESOME DEATH. SERIOUSLY. WHOEVER THIS GUY IS, THE ACTOR WAS FANTASTIC. HE WAS CREEPY AND SKELETAL AND MENACING. I BELIEVED WHOLE-HEARTEDLY THAT HE WAS A SCARY MOFO, WHICH I SOMETIMES DON’T GET FROM SUPERNATRUAL VILLAINS, OR VILLAINS IN GENERAL. A+, YOU GUYS. AND THAT SCENE BETWEEN DEAN AND DEATH WAS MY FAVORITE OF THE WHOLE EPISODE. JENSEN TOTALLY SOLD IT. AMAZING.
4)THIS ONE WAS SO CLOSE TO COMING TRUE, I COULD TASTE IT. I WANT DEAN AND SAM’S RELATIONSHIP TO PROGRESS TO THE POINT WHERE DEAN CAN SEE THAT THE WORLD IN ITS ENTIRETY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN SAM. I THOUGHT MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, THEY’D DONE IT. THE WRITER HAD FINALLY CROSSED THAT BRIDGE AND SETTLED ON THE OTHER SIDE. I WAS SO EXCITED. THEN THEY FLIPPED ME THE BIRD AND RAN ACROSS THE BRIDGE AND DEMOLISHED IT. -_-
5)
…
…
…
GUYS, CAS IS HUMAN.
I’M SO… I CAN’T BELIEVE IT. I HONESTLY CAN’T. I THOUGHT MAYBE THEY’D DO IT. SLIM CHANCE. BUT THEY DID. AND I’M SO EXCITED. SO STUPIDLY, STUPIDLY EXCITED. MY FANFIC, THE CODA TO 5.18? TOTALLY GUESSED IT. XD I CAN’T BELIEVE IT. THIS IS THE ONE THING THAT STUCK WITH ME THROUGH THE WHOLE EPISODE. I WAS ON CLOUD NINE, GUYS. HE’S HUMAN.
HE’S A GOT A GOOD CHANCE OF MAKING IT THROUGH THIS SEASON. ♥
… HOWEVER.
MICHAEL AND CAS ARE SUPPOSED TO DUKE IT OUT, YOU GUYS. o_O DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?! HUMAN!CAS VS AND ARCHANGEL. THE ARCHANGEL WHO WHOOPED LUCI’S ASS. SHIT. FUCK. DAMMIT. FUCK. NOW I’M A SCARED AGAIN. FUCK.
