Episode Reaction, 7.01
This will be short, fangirly, and somewhat nonsensical because I cannot meta.
Spoilers of all kinds here.
Cas! You were still there in Godstiel! I'm so happy you were still there that I can't even words about it because I'll get all wibbly and no one wants that. Trust me, I'm an ugly crier. Splotching is involved. My God, Misha killed me multiple with his repentant!Cas eyes.
MARK! AND MARK! THE MARKS WERE IN THIS EPISODE, BOTH OF THEM! Crowley lives to see another day and fakeLucifer wins all the creepy awards.
Sam! Sam! You were so Sassy in this episode, I can't even. I just wish we had more time so we could have all the Sassy. And you pointed out the storyline parallels and prayed and hallucinated! And you Sammed all over the place like a glorious, broken, amazing motherfucker! I have to say, though, I'm glad they didn't drag out the 'one brother is lying to another brother about something really important just to save them some angst' thing for more than half an episode. I didn't like how manufactured it was with the whole accidentally hearing part of a conversation thing so thank you, Death. Respectfully.
Speaking of, Death is amazing. That is all.
Deeeeeean. You break my heart in all the best ways, you lying-to-yourself, alcoholic, anime-porn (lol what?) watching bastard. Even your defensive mechanisms have defensive mechanisms. You're just so... Dean. See? Can't words, too Dean. But as a side note, is Jensen growling less? His voice seemed lighter, but that could just be my mind playing with me. Either way, yummy.
I'll tell you what I don't like, though. I don't like the feeling that I'm not going to be sure of Cas' fate for quite a while still. I have the very sad feeling that the Cas we know (and some of us love) is gone now. But it's not an angry feeling, if that's the end of him it was very achy and redemptive which was about what I could hope for in his death, minus a hug (shut up, I can be one of THOSE people if I want). But... I don't know. It's not that I want Cas dead or not-dead, I just want to be sure about it, whichever it is. He's like Schroedinger's Mutated Angel and I just want to knowwwww, give me all the spoilers I don't even care! I am not a patient fan, okay. I read the last chapters of books before I reach the middle. I skip ahead in fics to see if it's a happy or sad ending. I don't want one or the other, I just want to know what to expect.
Sometimes I eat my dessert first, too. I highly recommend it.
Oh! Wait, something else too. I am super happy that Misha gets to play cackling evil because I bet he's having a blast with it and it's so much fun to watch. But I'm also glad that he got to do that without it being Cas who was cackling-evil. Best of both worlds, and I like! Want moar Leviathan.
Man, I am going to read this over tomorrow and cringe in embarrassment, I just know it.
WHATEVER, I DON'T HAVE TO MAKE SENSE, SUPERNATURAL IS BACK AND I AM VERY EASY TO PLEASE, MY EMBARRASSMENTS ARE INVALID!
Edit: Cas' face when Dean tells Death to kill him. OH MY GOD. And then Cas having an emotional breakdown over it to a political intern, all 'I'm good, tell me I'm good, TELL DEAN I'M GOOD!'
OH MY GOD. NEED A NEW SHIRT, THIS ONE IS SOAKED THROUGH.
In conclusion:
