*SUPERNATURALFLAIL*
So basically? John Winchester sort of lost lots of points with me with this episode... I mean, I'm not like anti-John, or thinking he's a horrible person/father/whatever, but he needs a good thwack over the head (or ten). Never mind that he's dead which alone merits a good hit over the head, too, because he made Dean feel like crap and then didn't frickin' start the apocalypse so Dean had to and is all broken and stufff now, and grr, in this universe anything is possible or whatever, right? God. I just. Have a problem with the whole thing, because when the kid was twelve was right around the time when Sam left for Stanford - which, in my own personal cannon at least, was like a really crappy time for Dean. Because Sammy! And then Johnny over there just decided to take off after this OTHER kid and be all fatherly/family-like (I mean the photos with THE MOTHER IN THEM? Holy crap! That actually HURT ME to see that. And of course she'd be blond, ugh) and leave Dean off by himself without even Sam around? Come on now.
That being said, I wanted to hate the kid for all that, whether it's his fault or not. A lot. And I guess I sort of did, or not really HIM but the character we got to see, since he never was actually himself after all. I liked the way they ended up taking to the kid, though. Like, Dean being protective and wanting to leave him out of things, keep him (relatively) innocent like he couldn't do with Sam, and Sam being, erm, like John probably always was with Dean. Which actually was really creepy and tragic, but in a good way (except also a very not good way... clearly I make perfect sense). Which sort of reinforces my thought that Dean would make a much better father than Sam would (at least, current!Sam? I don't know about pre-Jessica's-death!Sam, though - before he went all "OMGREVENGEEEEE!" he might have been great), because he knows some things are more important than hunting. Like, you know, family. And, um, being alive? Man, Sammy - get a grip, yesyes? Oh, and hug your brother! He could seriously use a hug, damnit, and I can't very well hug him through the screen, or I would've done it by now and we wouldn't be having half the problems we're having! Get on that, kaythanks?
And Dean kept having to crawl through small spaces while looking decidedly unamused by the whole thing! The first time made me happy because SCISSORS and my mom totally didn't get how awesome that was, and eeee! <3 x like a million + a squee or ten. Seriously.
ALSO DEAN'S EYES ARE PRETTY. SO ARE SAM'S. EYES! I LOVE WHEN THEY FILM AT LEAST PART OF EPISODES IN LIGHT BRIGHT ENOUGH FOR ACTUAL EYE COLOR SIGHTINGS, AAAHHH!
I did find the scene where Dean actually gets there / takes out the monsters / saves Sam's ass again to be sort of ... lacking? In urgency, in emotion, in something. Dean didn't really seem as upset as he should have been. That was... frickin' scary, okay? I mean, that was a lot of blood. And deep cuts. And. Dean didn't really seem ...too worried. Like, oh, you know, he bleeds that much all the time. From his wrists. Yeah. No, I didn't like the way that went down - should have been a little more flaily!Dean or something, or at least silently-and-stoically-panicking!Dean. But whatever, that's really the only major complaint I have...
That's one way to detox from the demon blood, though, eh Sammy? Oi.
OH AND SAM. MENTIONING BRINGING ADAM BACK. OH MY GOD. I THINK THAT ALONE IS THE BIGGEST RED FLAG FOR HOW BAD THIS IS GETTING. I DON'T CARE IF IT'S MENTION OF HAVING AN ANGEL DO IT OR A SPELL, SAM NEVER USED TO APPROVE OF THE MERE IDEA.
And so I'm scaredflailyexcited for the rest of this season, because at this point even though I have a very concrete theory, I'm also completely clueless, if that makes any sense at all. They could do almost anything! Makes me want to go spoiler-seeking, now. Mph.
Also my mom watched 24 afterwards, and she totally has a thing for Jack Bauer. Like, lots. It's unsettling.
Mom: "HE'S HOT!"
Me: *raised eyebrow and minor cringeflail that comes with (a) anyone calling anyone else hot as if I'm meant to agree when I find even the mere idea of calling anyone at all ever "hot" to be disturbing on several levels, and (b) my MOM calling someone hot IN GENERAL*
Mom: "IT'S THE SAME AS YOU AND THE WINCHESTERS! SO THERE."
Me: "!!! NO IT IS NOT. I DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING BUT HUG THEM. YOU DO. WHICH BY THE WAY IS VERY CREEPY."
[obligatory sister laughter]
Me: "NO, REALLY. I WANT TO HUG DEAN AND GIVE HIM PIE!"
And then I realized that it's sort of my thing for every single character that I grow attached to - I want to hug them, feed them something sugary (usually it's cookies, but Dean likes pie, okay?), and possibly hide them away somewhere safe from all sorts of harm. Hum.
And, yes, we do talk in capslock. Sometimes. Shh.
In other news, my ovaries and I aren't on speaking terms anymore. And they've somehow hijacked my brain and made me crave salt, which just makes their murder attempts worse. Also I think it's their fault I'm feeling sentimental and sappy, but also bitchily sarcastic at the same time. Like I want to hug someone and snark their faces off at the same time. It's really strange and confusing, and I want French fries and to curl up in bed and never move again because OW.
