SPN 10-10 The Hunter Games - Thoughts and Screencaps
Sam, Dean, Cas... they all looked really good this ep♡
Interesting song! I actually didn't know it but I found it on You Tube - Long Black Road by ELO(Electric Light Orchestra), also used in the movie American Hustle AND in the Japanese bonus track of their album Zoom. cool!
Long Black Road Lyrics -
They used to tell me boy you ain't goin' nowhere
With your cheap guitar and your big long hair
You gotta realize all your responsibilities
You gotta get out to work and face reality
You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load
And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road
So I drifted for a while down the road to ruin
I couldn't find my way I didn't know what I was doin'
I saw a lot of people coming back the other way
So I kept on goin' when I heard them say
"you gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load
And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road"
I made a lot of money I was makin' quite a mess
But they all told me money wouldn't bring me happiness
"you gotta work like a man in a real man's life
You're gonna have to take all the trouble and strife"
You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load
And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road
Crowley's mom - we know she is totally screwing with him, making him doubt his people and put his trust in her. I wonder what she was going to do with the blade? Or if she had planned to be found by Crowley. I love the way she used magic to take a peek at the goings on with Crowley. (We now know where Crowley stashed his body... in Guam :D) I think we've actually got a very smart woman/witch here! It'll make things more interesting maybe aye? To try to figure out her motives etc.
I liked the Dean/MoC scenes very much (except that I really hate M and don't want to look at his face). Metatron is really killing Dean all over again. Dean's the one with the angel blade, but he can't hurt M as much as M can hurt him. M should really be in hell. He'd make a much better demon than he does an angel.
Dean brooding, Sam telling him they'd figure it out... I was wondering when Dean was going to tell Cas to just kill him already... but maybe that's going to be a bit later. They've finally brought Cain back into the story. I hope they go talk to him. I thought they'd do that so much earlier.
Sam says that maybe part of the power to lose the mark has to come from Dean... that maybe there is a part of him that wants to give into the mark and basically Dean is not trying hard enough to fight it. Cain has lived with the mark for forever without killing anyone, so there must be away. And Cain is a demon, right? so if he could control it, Dean could control it as a demon too.
Dean being able to resist the urge to kill those two idiots - I guess we can take that to mean he is taking Sam's words to heart. I wonder if Dean actually talked to Claire after that? It would make sense from how she changed her tune.
I loooooved the reference to "the monster in all of us" since I talked about that a little in my review of Family Remains. I guess we are supposed to compare Dean and Claire - who almost gave into the urge to kill Dean, then stopped the monster in her from taking over. Claire and Dean sort of remind me of Alex and Jody. I wonder if we are going to see more of her.
Some of my favorite screencaps/scenes...
(Dean having flashbacks to the massacre scene)
Love that - looking in the cracked mirror as opposed to the whole one last season. Did he crack that when he was running around as a demon?
DEAN: There was a time I was a hunter... not a stone cold killer.
CAS: It is more than just a physical thing. It will take a very powerful force to remove the effect.
... If we had the demon tablet maybe...
SAM: You said that was missing.
CAS: There may be another way.
(hopeful)
CROWLEY: Excuse me if I don't curl up in your lap.
(At the portal - coming to get Metatron with Cas)
Buddy, I don't care what happens to you. You killed my brother.
(cas trying to convince Claire to stay. )
CLAIRE: You killed my father.
...I have a life. I'm good with it. If you mean a real life, that ship has sailed. And I'm good with it.
(sounds like Dean?)
CLAIRE: Dean Winchester is a monster
CAS: It's possible. There is a little monster in all of us.
CROWLEY: You never sang me a lulaby. You doused me with whiskey until I passed out.
CAS: She (Claire) is so full of rage.
I was hoping you might reach out to her. I thought there would be a connection. One extremely messed up human to another, I thought you could explain ...
CAS: I'll text you her number. I like texting. Imoticons?
METATRON: It occured to me that you really need this mark taken off of you. You really need me. So here's the deal. That first little tip I gave you? A freebee. Just cause you're you. Any future step, they're going to cost you - big.
DEAN: You are going to tell me everything. All of it. And it aint gonna cost me a damn dime... slugger.
DEAN: You killed me.
M: How many times have you lied to Sam...
You say it's all for the greater good, but lately buddy, that greater good thing went away didn't it. People die because you want them to. ...
DEAN: Let's try this again. What is the next step?!
M: Go screw yourself
SAM: I've been thinking. Look, Cain still has the mark, right? He's lived with it. ... The Mark is strong. But Dean, maybe there is a part of you that wants to give into it. And maybe you have to fight that. Maybe part of that powerful force has to be you.
CLAIRE: I'm going to try to do things a little bit different. Let go of a little monster in me.
CLAIRE: Oh, hey. Not that you care but, I like you better in a tie.
