The Third Man
I loved this episode. It is easily my favorite ever of Supernatural. XD Ben Edlund is amazing because as gross as the first few minutes are (and they are gross so fucking gross omg) the rest of the episode blows it out of the water. Thinking back to My Bloody Valentine (now my second favorite episode ever XD), the one scene that stuck out to me was the opening scene where the two lovers eat each other. This episode? Cas tossing his angel sword into another angel's chest.
And air quotes Cas.
And bloody Cas.
Fuck it, Cas in general. XD
Other things I liked: Balthazar was epic. XD A bit much like the love child of Crowley and Gabriel (SOMEONE GET ON THAT FIC), but, still, I enjoyed him. And ship him with Cas. And possibly Sam. XD
Cas's morality. XD I love it. It's obvious that he doesn't want to hurt the kid, but he realizes that this is their best option and does what he has to do. Also, pushy-bitchy-scowly!Cas was just so much love this episode. ♥ He gets shit done and I love it.
RAPHAEL SURVIVED. I AM SO SURPRISED AND EXCITED. XD
Also, Cas was just... he really made me feel for him. I honestly am having a hard time connecting with Dean because of his family issues, and Sam, while amazing, is practically inhuman. And so I feel closer to Cas than ever before, which is so cool. But it's also painful, because he's so sad whenever he kills his brothers, or when he finally tells Dean and Sam what's going on in heaven. Ugh, makes my heart hurt.
Castiel is number one forever, man. ♥
This was a great 'intro' episode for Cas. It gives him several reasons for not being around (like S5, but more sympathetic) and, yet, gives him just as many to come back. (YOU GUIZE YOU GUIZE CAS AND DEAN HAVE A SPECIAL BOND OMG) Sadly, I don't think we'll be seeing a lot of him this season. My guess? Eight episodes tops. And that sucks, because I can't connect with Dean, so he's just blends in with the background now, and I think he's supposed to carry the story now. So I'm hoping I'll be able to enjoy Sam's scenes and not get progressively more and more annoyed by Dean, thus ruining whatever episodes are Cas-less. :(
Well, that's a depressing thought to end on. So, instead, I'll keep going with this:
Sam's characterization has stopped being infuriating and suddenly made me feel sorry for him. He's obviously very messed up, but I don't think he actually realizes that anything is wrong with himself. Hell, I think he might even prefer it like this, or think he's better right now. And I'm excited to see where he goes. XD
