So, I figured since the hiatus is over at last, this episode deserves a (tiny) picspam and a bigger review than I normally give! woohoo! It's not a frame-by-frame review, but big enough ;D
Lots of rambling behind the cut, quotes & some pics - MAJOR SPOILER-ALERT obviously, so if you haven’t watched the episode and don’t wanna get spoiled you really shouldn’t click the cut, but I guess you’re all smart enough to know that ;D
eta: I just realized I didn't even say what this was for:
Supernatural 4x15 Death Takes a Holiday
Okay, let’s get this started
I was a bit surprised about the beginning to be honest, because it seemed just so very old-school-Supernatural (like back in season 1) that I was a bit taken aback, not gonna lie. I just wasn’t used to the diners and finding cases like that anymore and Dean actually eating something!, I’m not even sure why that is, because there must have been something like it in the last episodes, right?
Well, anyway, it was a nice start and I got even more excited when Sam stood up and was ready to leave and Dean just… didn’t move. However, I expected him to say something like “Who died and made you King?” instead of a straight forward accusation of what Sam had said. I was a bit surprised at Dean that he just came forward like that.
Sam: It's got to be something nasty, right? I mean, people making deals or something.
Dean: You think?
Sam: What else would it be?
Dean: I don’t know.
Sam: All right, get that to go. Come on. What?
Dean: Sure you want me going with you?
Sam: Why wouldn't I?
Dean: I don't know. I don't want to be holding you back or nothing.
Sam: Dude, I've told you a hundred times, that was the siren talking, not me. Can we get past this?
Dean: Yeah, we're past it.
However, I hated that Sam just said ‘Siren talking’ and that was it, I mean… it’s just so not like Sam. You know, I’ve never been a Sam-girl, but I liked him, until this season. Now I really just despise him; all the lies he tells and secret calls he makes, the meetings with Ruby and using his powers even ‘though the Angels told him to cut it out. I mean, seriously!
Anyway, this was very Dean-like to just cut the conversation short and saying it’s alright, when we know it’s not. He reacted like he was surprised about himself for bringing it up in the first place and didn’t want it to turn into a chick-flick moment that he brought on, not Sam.
The talk they had about being different was great... I'm a little surprised that Dean still considered himself 'normal' even 'though Castiel told him he was special/different, but maybe he just wanted to push Sam for a reaction??
I also thought the cemetery-part was a tad bit funny, until we found out that weird guy was actually Alastair. Until then it was funny, because honestly this must have happened at some point while they dug up graves our whatever and Dean just not knowing how to explain was real cool. Yeah, but then we found out it was Mr. Hell and Sam used his stupid powers and everything was f’ed up.
This cap is so beautiful in my opinion and I’m glad that I found it, because to me it really shows the relationship between Sam and Dean at this point. (Interpreting much? lol) The way Dean looks so very disappointed that Sam continues to lie to him even though Dean told him that this is exactly what makes him doubt that his brother is still the same person as he was before Dean went to hell. And the way we see Dean is like there is only this small part that Dean still sees from his brother and everything else is in the dark. I love it.
Anyway, the whole scene was amazing. It was great that Dean just said it so matter-of-fact that Sam lies and that he knows it and that Sam just denied it broke my heart a little.
I wasn't very happy that they kept bringing Pamela back, because I didn't like her that much, but this time I thought her point of being there was awesome. I mean, okay let's leave it aside that the boys can just like that become ghosts (really? REALLY?), that whole idea and the scenes were pretty kick-ass. I liked the different lightning in the ghost-world (even 'though it's a pain in the ass for icon-making ;D).
And yes, I admit it, the "Am I making you uncomfortable - Get out of me - You're such a prude"-scene made my little Wincest-heart happy &hearts &hearts ;P
Anyway... Tessa. So, what is it with every chick needing to kiss Dean to... well, whatever, just kissing him really??? I mean I don't wanna be a jealous fangirl or anything, I just don't get why it's necessary!? I mean what if instead of Tessa it would have been that creepy dude from 'Faith'?? Would there still have been kissing?? I don't think so!
I hated the Tessa/Dean-scenes in general. I really liked her back in "In My Time of Dying", but this time? She seemed different or something and his speech about having a hole inside him? Yeah, not impressed. I mean he couldn't even remember her! And I think it's more likely that the hole he felt was because he lost his father and HE was the reason for that. Well, yeah I didn't like that at all.
Skipping a little ahead again and coming to CASTIEL being his usual awesome self ;D
Okay, real quick: the ghost teaching thing was pretty cool and funny even. And Alastair? I kinda like him... he reminds me of YED and he was cool ^^
And, yes: Castiel. I seriously love him soooo much by now! I think he's a great addition to the show and I'm so looking forward to seeing him again! &hearts &hearts
Dean: What the hell?
Castiel: Guess again
woohoo! You rule the house ;D
Castiel: Dean, this was a victory.
Dean: Well, no thanks to you.
Castiel: What makes you say that?
Dean: You were here the whole time?
Castiel: Enough of it.
I love how Castiel is being all clueless :D and Dean is still not respecting him!! (well, I don't love that from Dean, I wanna punch him every time he makes snarky comments at Castiel!!)
So, Pamela died... I'm not so very sorry, but I do feel bad, because seriously she didn't wanna get involved in this and the boys dragged her right into it anyways.
I LOVED that she said that to Sam, I mean I'm sure it won't change anything, because it never did. It didn't help when Dean wanted Sam to stop, it didn't help when Meg came back and told him to stop and it didn't help when the Angels told him to stop, so why should it be different now. I am just so mad at Sam for being such a stupid-ass!
Okay, well, so the episode was really nice. It wasn't epic, but it's good to have the show back and I am really looking forward to the rest of the season!! (and MORE MORE MORE CASTIEL &hearts &hearts &hearts &hearts - he might just become my new Bela ;P)
