Episode 5.18
Did I like it?
*thinking process* *process denied*
Yes, I think I did.I mean, I didn't like them digging Adam back (literally and figuratively), and I kinda wonder if Bobby knew about Adam from John or from the boys... But - at least this Adam was nothing like Ghoul!Adam, so that's a plus.
Also, I believe that, had the boys known each other earlier (much much earlier), Adam would have worshipped Dean the way wee!Sam did, and gotten along with him really well. Also, there'd be someone to give Sam the puppy eyes, and give him the opportuninty to be a big brother, which I think Sam would have been good at.
(Anyone care to write a fic? ^__^)
Cas. Poor, poor Cas. *hugs him*
Didn't appreciate that 'you know, last time someone looked at me like that I got laid' line, but other than that... Poor guy angel.
I can't even imagine being in his shoes. He gave up everything. Everything. His family, his place in Heaven, much of his power, and stuff we probably don't even know about - because he had faith in Dean and what Dean had stood for. He believed, much like he believed in God.
And then he finds out God doesn't care (which I'm not sure I buy, btw. I read a meta saying the boys heard what they wanted to hear. They were told God will not help cuz it wasn't His battle. Not that he didn't care, it just wasn't HIS battle to fight. One could totally overanalyze this ^__^)
Anyway, Cas finds out God doesn't care, and then finds out Dean doesn't care (at least about Cas's sacrifice). He finds out that everything he gave up, he did for nothing, cuz Dean's giving up. And that 'has no faith' thing? It's not about God.
Cas always knew Dean's faith in God was iffy at best. Dean has no faith in himself, in Sam or in Castiel, and yeah, that's gotta sting.
I was almost cheering for him for beating the crap out of Dean. *hugs them both* *hugs Cas a little more*
Sam.
I think this episode did Sam a lot of good. Why? Because it was understated. We DIDN'T get Sam's POV the way we usually get Dean's. Sam found Dean. He wasn't all 'what don't I know about this guy', we didn't see him track down Dean's phone GPS, and still, he found Dean. He knows his brother. And loves him, and has faith in him.
I loved his admission that whenever he ran away it had been a mistake, especially after we saw that him running away memories were part of his best ones.
Sam grew this season. Which is no surprise, cuz Sam's character grows all the f-ing time. It's Dean that's still stuck at the beginning of season 2 character-building-wise.
Sam having faith in Dean, Sam bringing him along despite everyone - Dean included - telling him it's a mistake.... *loves*
And then Dean.
*sigh*
I really kinda wanted him to say yes.
I thought he'd be relieved about being off the hook when Adam came along, but hey, that's just not Dean. He has to have his guilt, right? *is getting a little annoyed with the lack of character development*
Saying he had no faith in Sam was cruel, but I do believe he's past it. He's given up, as we clearly saw. And it kinda fits with my old fic.
He wants it over, he's been saying that since... yeah, you guessed it, season 2.
I just... *shrugs*
I guess in a way I was sorta hoping he would find a way. Or even gone to Lucifer, which would have been an awesome twist.
*is kinda disappointed of the Dean storyline and it's lack of progress*
So overall?
Hells yeah, I liked this episode! Not really surprising considering it was written by Jeremy Carver. *nods*
