Heavy on spoilers. Do not even attempt to read if you haven't seen this amazing episode.
Yes it is amazing. Yes, this is going down as THE MOST FANTASTIC THING I'VE EVER FUCKING LAID MY EYES ON ...
So if you haven't watched the episode. DO NOT READ ON.
Okay... now that I've gotten that out of the way... I just want to express how amazing this episode was. Last week's episode left me wanting more-- I wasn't pleased with it--- but damn you Kripke-- you fucking killed me tonight. This episode goes down as one of the best supernatural episodes ever. And that's no joke. This is my all time favorite episode. End of story. I was crying within the first few seconds-- I mean-- seriously.... I am lame.
Alright... let's start with the first scene--- my sexy sexy sexy sexy husband was sleeping so-- sexily. How many times did I just say sexy? >.< Anyways, they wake up to these two assholes-- and Sam dies first-- which made my heart just fucking die--- not cause Sammy died--- but the expression on Dean's face....... my heart just broke. Oh man. And then these loser hunters shoot them. I mean SERIOUSLY. >.< argh and my Dean wakes up in the impala, figures. Okay-- this is the part I started to cry-- when I saw little Sammy and the way Dean smiled--- and just-- argh-- made me tear up so bad... cause-- man... those boys... and that bond... gosh I wish they would have it again. It was purely amazing. I mean-- the way Dean loves Sam-- is just-- out of this world. And that little Dean/Sam shipper in me-- was angsty tonight-- but we'll get to that later. Moving on-- that scene with Little Sam and Dean-- made me just-- want to curl up with my pillow-- cause that scene showed Dean being the BIG BROTHER-- what he always wanted to be--- and it showed a Sam looking up to him. And deep down-- that's what his biggest desire-- to have those moments back-- the look of pure elation on Dean's face just tore me apart-- cause-- we all know he is not going to be happy like that ever again. No matter where he is-- it seems as if Dean is always miserable and fuck-- I hate that.
Anyways, my favorite Angel comes in then-- inside the impala-- and Dean follows Cas' word without question and drives up the road-- and we walk in on Sam's heaven. First off-- I've stopped liking Sam since Season 4-- but I am going to try and not sound biased. I mean-- there is a part of me that's always gonna love Sam-- but-- it makes me sad that the FIRST thing he sees in heaven-- is some other random family-- and some other chick-- at a Thanksgiving Dinner. Okay-- I get the fact that Sam wasn't happy with his family-- that's fine-- no normal person would be. And I am sure-- at that time-- John wasn't the greatest father in the world-- so I don't blame Sam for this memory-- but that's the FIRST thing he thinks about? That's how TREASURED that memory is?? I am sorry-- but I don't get it-- ??? I mean REALLLY???? Out of all the things he could pick..... THAT is his memory??? ARGH. I get Sam's reasoning-- I really do... but shit. The boy didn't nearly have it as bad as Dean. I mean-- if anyone had the right to complain-- a right to be selfish-- IT WAS DEAN! I am sureeee that Dean was never coddled or baby'ed like Sam was. It was clear from the memories-- that John at least tried to keep Sam away from that shit-- but Dean... HE WAS LITERALLY BORN INTO IT. There was no other choices-- nothing in front of him. So why is it, that even after having that small bit of comfort-- is Sam always so selfish? I mean-- I get it-- he is a character-- and they all have flaws-- but damn it... he pisses me off. God. That just annoyed me. Cause-- the esteem that Dean holds Sam in-- is clearly not returned... and yeah. Whatever.
Okay-- then we have Dean's memory again-- with his mom. It was nice-- really sweet to see Dean enjoy that moment-- and HOW nice of Sam to want to RUSH him. Good job there. Let's take away this one moment of peace that Dean has-- thanks Sam. But I see where he is coming from-- it must hurt to see his mom give Dean that attention. Fine--- but he could have at least SUCKED it up--- Dean would have done it for him. But as sweet and beautiful as that memory was-- it has nothing on the first scene-- with Little Sammy and Dean-- somehow to me, that was MUCH more precious. Or maybe that's just me. Who knows?
Then, we have Sammy again... after he ran away-- once he 'embraced' his freedom. No matter what-- I actually liked this-- for the information we got. First off-- it was news to me that Sammy ran away from Dean... and you know what-- I expected no different. I KNOW that even back then-- Sam was Dean's weakness. Sam knew that he could get away from Dean-- much quicker than John. And if Dean caught him-- Dean would have let him leave. I don't think Dean would have held him back-- but John would have. *BIG SIGH* While Sam was having goo goo eyes with a dog-- its only natural that his abused brother is gonna be out searching through hell and back for him. And leave it to Sam not to even CALL for two weeks. Nice going. And once again we are greeted with another Sammy memory-- thanks Sam. We get how little your family means to you. =) Okay... that was harsh-- but really-- DO you blame Dean for feeling that way? Gosh.
Of course-- if Sam wasn't bad enough-- Zachy is back-- and he is chasing the Chesters all over the place. Dear god. This bald man can move! Anyways-- as Zachy is chasing these two sexy hunkable pieces of man meat..... they run into something....
OH LOOK! It's a bird.... no its a plane... no... it's ASHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MUCH BETTER THAN SUPERMAN!! OMG! Why can't Ash dress like that and give me a visit?! xD Anyways-- ASH. Omg. First off-- he is dead-- so any speculation that he wasn't-- kinda died-- so yeah-- I was sad. BUTTTT WE GOT TO SEE OUR ASHY!!! Man. I just argh... wanted to squeeze him! I loved Ash soo much. He was one of my favorite characters in Supernatural. And thankfully our awesome Ash explains Heaven to the boys. Awesome! Great-- and he also says--- that Soulmates stick together-- -DID ANYONE, besides ME, catch that look he threw at Sam and Dean??! HUH? Was that just in my head-- or did ASH imply that Sam and Dean are soulmates??? FUCK. I've been preaching that since EPISODE ONE!! HAHAH! Well, even if most people didn't catch it-- I DID. And I stand by it-- no matter what anyone says. Sam and Dean-- will end up with each other-- in heaven as well. =) And even if they are separated at first-- Dean will always find his Sammy. *CATCHES BREATH*
Then Pamela-- sweet Pamela comes back-- has a nice little chat with Dean-- and wears him down. And really-- I don't blame Dean anymore-- seriously? After all he's been through-- who wouldn't want to just "live" in peace? This fucked up nightmare they are in-- is probably the only bit of "happiness" that he has seen in years. I mean... think about it. How much more burden can a man take--- without just wanting everything to be over. And Pamela has a point-- what's the point of fighting so hard? *sigh* I can see why Dean is slowly crumbling-- hell-- he has been crumbling since 5X13. So yeah-- his resolve is finally coming to a breaking point. And-- right when Dean finally breaks-- Sam is going to too. I just know it-- but that speculation is later. And Pamela gives Dean a nice old kiss-- and yeah-- I've been waiting for that as much as Pamela-- god Jensen Ackles looks sexy when kissing. >.< Then-- they are OFF again-- and pumpkin pie! They are with Mary-- and Mary is being a bitch. >.< Okay-- one thing that freaked me out was Mary..... where is she anyway? Are John and Mary even in heaven? Ash said that he looked everywhere-- but no sign. Hmm.
I think that Mary is in hell. And no-- its not cause of Zachariah's creepy orange eyes either. I think Mary is in hell for that deal she made with Azazel all those years ago. I know that Azazel's terms consisted of her allowing Azazel to give a call after ten years. But I think its deeper than that. Making a deal with a demon-- especially one of Azazel's caliber must leave a mark on her soul-- maybe she went to hell for making that deal. I dunno-- and I suppose its the same thing for John. Even though he did get out of hell in S2.... but whose to say that he went to heaven afterwards? Ya know? Maybe his "spirit" was pulled back to hell afterwards? I really don't know. But that's my theory. SO moving on, Mary bashes the shit out of dean-- and I think-- at this point I am really crying...I mean really-- HOW MUCH ABUSE ARE YOU GOING TO PUT MY DEAN THROUGH!!!??? Argh. I just wanted to hug him--- and comfort him! *sigh* Stupid Zachariah-- I fucking hate him! Hell-- everyone Dean's close to died-- I can't even begin to imagine how much pain its caused him-- and then naturally Zachariah would use that against him. >.< So naturally my bitterness toward Sam is justified. Sam was supposed to be that one person that never left his side-- and he did. Not once, but twice. =) Good going, brother. The only one that hasn't fucked Dean up the crack (and I mean this rhetorically) is Cas-- and I have a morbid feeling that he is going to somehow disappoint me too-- but Cas is FULL on justified if he does.... BUT I'll get to that later... >.<
Then-- we see Joshua! Yay! Why was I reminded of Morgan Freeman from that movie--- with Jim Carey-- I can't think of the name at the moment-- but Morgan Freeman was god-- and I was like-- OMG! It's god!! But-- alas, no. >.< That wasn't God-- that was Joshua-- and suffice it to say-- I like Joshua way more than I like god at the moment. >.< So we find out that it wasn't Lucifer that put Sammy and Dean on a place and brought Castiel back-- it was GOD!! WOOOOOT! xD Well, at least Castiel was right about one thing-- but everything else? Basically we learn that god is somewhere on earth with twiddling his thumbs in his ass. Nice to know. And basically--- the Winchesters are SCREWED. They have NO more hope. I mean-- really? After knowing that GOD exists and he just simply 'doesn't care' --- what the fuck is that supposed to do to someone? Yep. I can see why Dean lost all hope. I can see CLEARLY.
The boys are then brought back-- and Cas is there-- the look on Cas's face hurt me sooo much. I just started crying again-- cause Cas... my sweet fucking angel.... he lost hope. CAS LOST HOPE. CAS--- one of the few angels who was STILL CLINGING to god lost hope. Yes, this is the first blow to the transformation of Castiel--- after this-- he is spiraling downwards to the junky Cas from 2014. >.< And Cas calling God a son of a bitch didn't even amuse me-- it only hurt me-- and made me just SIGH once again. God. Then he tossed the chain back at dean. Oh dear. That broke me too-- Cas losing hope just SUCKS. I don't know if I have anything more to say on that. And lastly-- the last fucking scene... Dean tossing his PRECIOUS locket in the trash-- the SOLE THING HE HAS WORN ALL HIS LIFE... means that Dean Winchester has lost complete hope. And its only time that Sam is gonna lose it as well. I feel for Sam in the end-- I want to grudging hug his tall sasquatchy ass--- cause-- it feels like he is all alone. =(
This episode was amazing beyond belief-- and I don't think I've seen something this good-- that riled me up this much. I am just-- astonded. And brain fried. And I want to fall asleep reading a REALLY good DEAN/SAM fic--- or maybe even a Dean/Cas one. =(
Lastly, I LOVE YOU KRIPKE for creating these amazing boys. Especially Dean.... and Sam too.
