SPN: 9.11
I don't know what I am. I want to discuss this episode and I don't even know where to start.
I'm going to get the 'they're already back together next week?!' out of the way. I love these guys together, I really do. But. You knew there was a but - but in this case, I think distance was good/needed and it seems too soon for them to be working together next week. This is hardly a breaking point, however. I'm interested to see how they do the reunion.
Biggest surprise. I liked Castiel. I've never disliked him, just to be clear, but I don't enjoy insta healing and wave a magic wand and poof everything is dandy. However, in this case, healing Sam - YAY! Sam's been walking wounded enough. I like seeing him healthy.
This also needs to be acknowledged - the bone-melting hotness in the t-shirt, thank you very much.
I'm not sure what the writers are doing now, but apparently for me to get Castiel, Dean has to be out of the picture and then Castiel is a straightforward character I understand. His PB&J/people analogy - priceless. I think what I most appreciate about Castiel now is he's an angel who learned from his experience. Also, the way he could relate to Sam when Sam really needs someone to relate too. Dean can't fill that role at this time.
Dean and the Mark of Cain. Dean, would you read the dang warning label before you get into this stuff? We may have been spoon fed the parallels between the brothers, but it doesn't make it less interesting to me. I appreciated the SPN spin on the Cain and Abel story.
I also appreciate Dean's scruffy look and he really does have adorable bowed legs.
Right now, the thing I'm crossing my fingers for most is when Dean and Sam reunite, please no 'Dean is wearing the Mark of Cain' secret. Given how touchy secrets are right now that would seem a crazy way to go. But you never know. Next week.
There's more, but again, I'm not even sure where to go with it. I need to see where the show goes with it. Goes back to the waiting of last week. I'm not impatient with the pace or what's happening. Interested and thinky. I'm not articulate enough to write thinky thoughts down, but I'm certainly happy to have them. It's one of those things that becomes more defined for me in conversation.
Where are you all at with this ep? Besides the 'good heavens, these guys are beautiful' appreciation. :)
