Fuck me. That was almost too much Misha to cope with! And in his real voice. And so many close ups!
Misha did really well in this. Sometimes I think Misha's acting can be... well, not nearly as awesome as he is. (But what is that awesome, I ask you? /rhetorical) Go ahead, throw stones at me. I think he's a good actor, but occasionally he seems like he's trying too hard. Maybe it's just that Castiel is so intense, it's difficult not to see that intensity and break into a wee snicker every once in a while.
I do love him. I do!
But I'm so glad Misha got to portray the human side, and rock both ends of the spectrum, while still maintaining continuity between Jimmy and Castiel, showing that the line between them blurs quite a bit.
Seeing Jimmy lose his faith after being given hard proof of what he'd been praying to... that was powerful. More grays upon grays. I love that Show doesn't play it black and white.
Also? Hi, Misha! You're preeeeeeety. May I pet you? Wow, you make my skin all tingly.
Oh. That's tv static. *ahem*
Hey, look, there's two other guys next to you! They're not too shabby themselves. One of them could really use undereye concealer this week. And he has a pimple. Maybe Cas can zap it when he gets back, huh? The other one's lips look extra pink this week. Has someone been kissing him off camera? Wait. Misha? Have you been playing pretty-pretty princess with Jensen and painting his lips? With your come. Which, as we all know, is shiny and pink.
Ahem!
Dean's non-Hell dreams involve fishing? Really? Well, it is a dream and not a daydream, so it's not like he has control over it. But. Really? Dean's subconscious needs to swap with my subconscious sometime... I've been having some freaky dreams lately. Then again, who knows if a ginormous carp was about to jump out of the water and eat Dean before Castiel interrupted.
It's sometimes difficult to take Sam seriously when he flips his hair mid-sentence.
Hee! Jimmy's an eater! He's Dean's soul mate twin!
Also, apparently Jimmy's a square.
And apparently not all little girls are evil! Good to know.
Apt title too. Clearly, Show's definition of rapture is not the one that involves delight. (Unless you're a sadomasochist.)
Sam with blood on his face + the look on Dean's face after seeing Sam drink blood = solar plexus sucker punch. Junkie!Sam hurts so much. But Dean losing faith in his brother, the only person or thing he's ever had true faith in? That's a world of hurt. A galaxy. It follows the progress of Dean's growing apathy. And this all had to come out sooner or later, given Sam's downward spiral. But ouch, guys. OUCH.
On a lighter note, Sam licking blood off his hand was fucking hot.
Okay, back to the dark stuff....
What happened in Heaven that Castiel would do a 180 like that? Cas! Come on, WTF? Did God put the fear of HIM into him? Did they go Gitmo on him in the clouds? Vaporboarding? Did they make him listen to nonstop ABBA? What? WHAT? We still don't know what Castiel wanted to tell Dean, which was obviously immensely important. And now we don't know what changed Castiel. Mystery on top of mystery. Misha's epic enigmaticness (shut up, it's a word) is rubbing off on his character, it seems! (I was also wondering if Cas found something out about Dean to make him see Dean in a different light. But what that would be...? *shrugs*)
Seeing Bobby and Dean shut the door on Sam, knowing that it was collaborative, gave me chills. No less so thanks to that big, iron door evoking a completely medieval, dungeon vibe.
Ooooookay. The preview for the last two episodes? MADE ME CRY.
They're really gonna go there, aren't they?
Ohgodohgodohgod. *rocks in a corner*
I just wanted to save the link to this clip from the Sydney convention for my own amusement. Because we get to hear Jensen with a southern accent. Well, a forced one-you can't just turn on an accent and have it be genuine. Not after he's spent 10-plus years trying to homogenize his voice. But he says "y'all"! I don't think I've ever heard him say "y'all" before. Jared, sure, all the time. Although he tends to say stuff like "y'all's guys'"-which... what the fuck is that, Jared? Double possessive?? But "y'all"? I love. It follows the proper grammatical rules of a contraction (so long as the apostrophe is placed where it damn well belongs) and it's all nicely inclusive. Yay "y'all"!
Does anyone know if S3!Ruby/S4!Ruby has been written already? 'Cause I've been having thoughts....

Dom on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Waggling penises, ftw.
And the J.J. Abrams interview on Kimmel - because Dom's included.
I wanna play Scrabble with Dom.
