SPN 9.08 & 9.09
Jody!
Next thought - don't kill her!
How nice was it to see Jody Mills as Jody Mills the cop and not the woman who goes on a blind date with Crowley - possibly one of the most painful scenes I've ever experienced in Supernatural - and see the dry delivering competent police officer who gets it done?
As fixits go, this was needed. Thank you.
Jody and Sam scenes. Lovelovelove.
Dean talking about sex. Oh yeah, stay celibate after that.
No, Dean. You don't get to tell Sam yet. It isn't the mid season finale yet, but I certainly liked how you gave it a try.
First thought - Oh dang, Kevin is going to die.
I'm going to fess up to enormous impatience I have with the vast majority of angels turning out to be unconscionable dicks. The whole epic angel arc thing doesn't engage me in the first place. Metatron - I just want to hand him a toothbrush, toothpaste, a jumbo sized dental floss and steer him to the closest dentist. Surely heaven has better dental coverage than what is evidenced by Metatron's mouth? Oily little monster.
So. Cas. (bleh, I dislike torture scenes) Snatching another angel's grace. Not that I blame him and he was good sneaky - I'm just wondering if we're back to instant fixits. However, if he's what is needed to fix Sam, okey-dokey. Go that route, but I would like to see something a little less paved, you know? How about Gadreel stepping up?
I've also come to the realization I just do not see this deep, profound bond that Dean and Cas have. This is flying so over my head that their scenes together come off like a muddle because I'm attempting to make it fit and it doesn't. I'm not saying it isn't there, but I certainly feel like I'm missing a crucial layer in their relationship.
Ezekiel, who is really Gadreel reveal - ooo, that caught me. Then. Gradreel took the easy route with Metatron. Poo. Another paved road, but perhaps we'll see an angel seeking redemption actually think for himself and go after his real redemption? Obviously, he's a bit damaged by his incarceration. I understand wanting something so bad, you'd go the easier more attractive route, but come on, Gadreel. You can't trust an a guy with teeth like that!
Do you think Sam heard what Dean said to him while Gadreel was pretend Sam? I'd like to think so. The scene was intense, but Sam's reaction not surprising. Finding out Gadreel was pretending to be Sam was a hopeful surprise that perhaps the real Sam will react differently later? He could be thinking it over while Gadreel is driving. Not that Sam shouldn't be upset by the choices Dean made for Sam and ultimately for himself, but at some point Sam's really got to get what makes Dean tick. There's some well grooved roads here after 9 seasons. Time to shake it up a bit. I don't want the charming sunset scene by the car where they come to terms with stuff, but something of the sort. At least come to terms that they're going to do just about anything for each other. Or Sam should that Dean will. Accept it. Acknowledge it. I liked that Sam didn't search for Dean when he ended up in Purgatory in the previous season. It was different. I would've liked to have seen that explored more instead of the recriminations. It revealed a certain kind of strength in Sam. Because at this point, it would be a harder, but stronger choice for them to let each other go.
There was stuff I loved, however, there was much I expected and I want to be super surprised, or even pleasantly surprised by a few different turns here and there. Any dissatisfaction I have with the show is with these over epic story arcs. And this is a soft dissatisfaction or impatience. It's not my show to write or to say where it goes. I'm good for the ride, because these guys are still pretty, they can still deliver, and it's their ultimate story I'm interested in. But I'd sure like to see Supernatural aim a little less high and get down to the basics.
And Kevin dies. Going to miss him, but I'm not sure where they could've gone with his character from this point. He certainly makes a stellar whack over Dean's head of how things got hosed up and how much he played a part in that. However, I'm not sure Dean would make different choices if he had known this was coming. I don't think Dean is capable of it. This is not a criticism. It always goes back to Sam and given how ingrained that is in Dean - like breathing - I'd be shocked (and that would be fun) if he did make a different choice than Sam.
And I'd hate it at the same time.:)
It's snowing here. Oh yay? I'm not in the winter groove yet, however, new tires on the Jeep. It stops now instead of the 'no-no-no-no-stop-before we-blow-through-the-intersection-heartpounding-gonna-crash-crash-well-hell-slam-into-the-curb-pop-the-tire-but-hey-stopped!
It's sweet.:)
Hope you all are well and those who celebrated Thanksgiving had an awesome one!
