4x18: Reaction
And next week, there's no new ep? :(
Well, the break's not probably a bad idea, considering how much the Show's given us to chew on this season... and who knows? Maybe I'll be able to spin out something other than half-assed random bits of fics. There's a desire to make a "Road So Far" picspam with screencaps from the Show and quotes from Legacy ( Read more... )
I'm replying to your comment because you reiterated pretty much everything I was going to comment about! :D
I second the motion on a blood meta! Also, sade, thanks for looking through those epi/book titles and coming up with ideas why certain epi/titles were included and others weren't. My brain is dead and work is eating my fandom time.
That fangirl/publisher was also a VotW in "The Usual Suspects" where she wore (strangely) a very similar wrap-around sweater. Show seems to be recycling actors (or else there aren't enough actors in Vancouver) as the girl under the spell in "Wishful Thinking" was also the girlfriend of the Asian man who gets doubled by the shape shifter in "Skin".
Heh! You know, I recognized that yellow and red cigar box from "AHBL-2". I'm pretty sure Dean pulled a fake ID out of it when he was frantically putting together his deal box at the crossroads.
I'm beginning to strongly suspect that killing Lilith will break the final seal.
AHH! Me, too! I sort of love the damned-if-you-do-and-damned-if-you-don't issue that comes with that conundrum. And if this is right ... you're right, Sam's words sort of imply that he's going to bring on the Apocalypse. The question is (if this is the way things go): "Will Sam (and Dean) know that killing Lilith could be the last seal?" Somehow Sam killing Lilith while knowing it would raise Lucifer seems a bit ... scary? not like Sam? very vengeful, obsessive darkside-ish? Not to mention it would make Sam seem more like John than bleeding-heart-Sam-in-the-pilot. :( Oh, boys.

That would be sure be hard to imagine. *ponders*
I suppose Sam could rationalize away a report of it being the final seal.... though his character would certainly take a significant hit if he did.
I could see Sam killing Lilith if she directly threatens Dean, choosing Dean over all others like Dean tried to choose his mother and father over everyone their hunting would have saved in In the Beginning Certainly would bring on some symmetry to balance Dean's ongoing dilemma of choosing Sam over risking the fulfillment of the YED's end-game.
Otherwise, we're left with Sam not knowing, though I suspect Dean would find out at some point while Sam had gone off to confront Lilith. Hmmmmm...hmmm.hmm.

You're welcome for the ep/book titles. :)
But would Sam killing Lilith break the seal?

I can only imagine with all that's going on. My attention span seems to have shortened substantially to the point that I can't seem to write or finish anything that's not work related and I'm not dealing with a full family and a little one making their debut any day.

I don't know. I guess that depends if there are prophesies or "rules" about HOW/WHEN the seals or by whom they are broken.
I'm curious to know how Lilith got the tidbit of information about her demise. It seems like some demons (Lilith at least) invest in fate or the foreseeing of the future enough to believe it to be true but also take stock in free will such that they believe they can circumvent "fate". Interesting, no? :)
