So basically I totally CALLED that. Everything. From the deaths to The Colt not working, to DEATH (\o/ Death! adfhdfhh!)... I was so sure that was what was going to happen. But I hoped I was wrong. :( I thought the whole thing was nicely done, though - although the burning the photograph at the end made me sad, 'cause, um, wasn't the whole point that IN CASE THEY DIED, THEY HAD A PICTURE? (Relatedly, now we know who took the picture outside the camp in 2014!verse - BOBBY <3'S PHOTOGRAPHY! \o/)
Cas drinking was vaguely amusing, but again reminded me of 2014!verse (everything relates back to that! adhkfdl) and it's one more step down that path we want him to stay off of! D: But he was very cool other than that, and the wandering around with the reapers thing was pretty neat.
Jo and Ellen being WITH THEM ALREADY from the start was sort of... I don't know, it felt like cheating. I want to hear the conversation that got them there, the planning that went into it, the bickering about who Cas rides with (why WAS he riding with them, other then for getting him to the right place at the right time for plot development? He's like Dean's pet angel, right? So, I mean... *inarticulate gestures at illogical things* Not that it matters, it just... why? I wan't to know WHY)... Apparently the more domestic, character interaction stuff is what I like best.
Dean's phobia of hellhounds, adfhdhd <3 - and he was so worried about Jo and he was trying not to full-on panic because the whole situation was just really crappy and it was tragic and I love Dean Winchester very much.
Um, Lucifer taunting Sam like that? Sort of HURT MY INSIDES. A lot. For both of them, because SAM'S FACE, but mostly for Dean's sake (even though he was conveniently unconscious and didn't hear that). Because Dean didn't really do that to Sam, not like Lucifer made it sound. Because Sam was well beyond out of line, and Dean didn't know how to handle it any better than he did. Sure, they could have communicated better, but the actions taken, in and of themselves, were not invalid or illogical for the situation! And I bet Micheal was exactly the same way towards Lucifer - he'd gone too far, and Micheal didn't know what else to do.
I know this doesn't actually relate specifically to this episode, but... I'm sort of interested in why Micheal hasn't popped up AT ALL yet. I mean, Lucifer popped into Sam's head while he was dreaming. Azazel did, Cas has - clearly they're capable of it. Do they need a host before they can pop into people's dreams / heads or something? Can't Micheal find himself a second option? Or is there a reason he's not showing up - maybe he doesn't want any of this. He's sitting somewhere, maybe fallen like Gabriel, maybe just up in Heaven on some cloud, brooding and just sick and tired of all of it being put on him to deal with (ala Dean's 4.22 "screw him, he can do what he wants," thing).
Maybe that's why when 2014!Dean finally said YES, nothing happened - because Micheal said NO.
...Damn, now I want to write Micheal and Lucifer = Dean and Sam fic. WHY DO I ALWAYS GET INSPIRED WHEN I HAVE OTHER THINGS TO BE WRITING? COME ON NOW. THAT ISN'T FAIR.
WHY WAS THERE NO HUGGING DURING THE "ANY LAST WORDS?" MOMENT? COME ON. PERFECTLY VALID OPPORTUNITY, AND THEY JUST... IGNORED IT. I mean, if I'm about to go on a possibly deadly mission to, I don't know, KILL SATAN, I'm going to hug the person I'm closest to ON THE ENTIRE PLANET. Come on. Seriously? Are the Winchesters allergic to hugs?
AND! SO WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH DETROIT, ANYWAY? WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO GO THROUGH THERE? ADFHADFH, I HURT TO THINK ABOUT IT, TO BE HONEST. I should just stop thinking. But it's a little difficult.
AND THAT PROMO. MY GOD. I DON'T THINK I CAN SURVIVE UNTIL THE BREAK ENDS. I THINK THAT EPISODE IS GOING TO HURT A LOT, TOO.
I'm going to go write MichealDean & LuciferSam things now? write the things I'm supposed to write? download some happy S1/2 episodes to curl up with, now. :(
In other news, I am unamused by the imminent holidays. Awkwardness and stress - ahoy! D:
