5.21 episode review part 2
Trunk!shot! *blinkblinks* There is some new stuff in thar. O.o
The Impala is dirty. :( This is not indicative of Dean being in a good place on his insides.
*wibble*
No matter what all has happened, Dean is still Dean, and Sam is still Sam, and Dean still knows Sam better than anyone, and Sam still sighs first before he ever tries to have a conversation he knows Dean may not like, and I JUST LOVE THEM OK.
This talk, though - *flail*
Any time anyone wants to talk to you and they start with 'for the record', that's never good. Sam says he thinks he's too weak to beat the Devil, too, and that he knows how screwed up he is, and that out of the 4 of them, he's the least of them. I faceplant hard enough to hurt myself, because THAT IS NOT TRUE GAH, but the important thing is that Sam believes it. It's important because it shows humility, which is, of course, the opposite of pride, something that Lucifer is the purest embodiment of.
On the flip side, if he is going to beat Lucifer, Sam will also need confidence in himself. He's proven he can have that as long as Dean is backing him, which is why he won't say yes unless Dean is on his side. Because he KNOWS that about himself.
And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ Matthew 25:40
Still leaves me just sort of gaping and having flaily hands.
*hands*
I don't think Dean quite knows what to do with it, either.
"I'm also all we got. If there was another way - but I don't think there is. There's just me. So I don't know what else to do ... except just try to do what's gotta be done."
*wibbles into a puddle*
LOL CROWLEY DOES THE GHOSTFACERS MOVE.
Facccccccccccccce.
DAMN YOU, CROWLEY!
*shakes the angry fist of interruption*
Ugh, Sam REALLY needed to hear Dean SAY SOMETHING. *stabs things*
Crowley comes bearing Revelation.
*snerk*
THE SOUND OF THE ABACUS CLACKING FTW!
Why, yes, they DO have their looks. Thanks for noticing!
It really IS a good plan. I was a little worried that even with the domestic terrorism and all the vaccine getting destroyed by the end of the ep, they'd just make another batch of vaccine, but then I remembered that when Pestilence disappeared everyone seemed to get better, so now I'm thinking maybe the swine flu went away. What do you guys think?
"This time next Thursday, we'll all be living in Zombieland."
Dear Crowley,
THAT'S OK! THEY KNOW ALL THE RULES! \o/
Helpfully yours,

YAY, CHICAGO!!!!!
I think we can all agree that this is probably the coolest character intro EVER. Castiel's was awesome, but this? HFS.
Sadly, no one is letting the vid embed code float around, but caps just don't do justice to the coolness.
The music cues were PERFECT, and the jump cuts were giving me CHILLS.
Go Watch.
I'm sorry, even on the first watch, before I knew by the end of the episode Bobby would be walking again, I couldn't muster up too much sympathy for Bobby here. He's being a complete jerk to Cas. And I know that he's bitter and has spent MUCH of this season being suicidal, and I know he's in this situation because of what he did for Dean, and I'm not saying I'd do any better in his place, but ...
Cas gave up HEAVEN. He was practically an ALL POWERFUL being! The comparison is not proportionate! And you guys know I don't go out of my way to defend Cas and his feelings, but COME ON! I kind of wanted to smack the crap out of Bobby. I mean, he's been whining all year and he doesn't even have the sympathy to let Cas talk it out with him for ONE MINUTE? Then he got his legs back right after he was just an asshole, and I kind of wanted to smack him again and make him say he was sorry.
Dear Bobby,
BOO.
:P

'Good luck stopping the whole zombie apocalypse.'
"Good luck killing Death."
Oh, I know this game. It's because if you don't laugh, you'll cry, right? I pwn this game.
I just do them both at the same time.
"Remember when we used to just hunt Wendigos? How simple things were?"
Oh man. I say that all the time.
*clings, begs them not to go*
The knife has a pretty good knife v horseman record so far - 2 out of 3 - so it's the logical weapon of choice to take on Death.
But THIS!!! *flail*
We haven't seen Death's scythe since Alistair had it last! I'm still sticking with my theory that Crowley got it from Death himself, as a means of getting Dean in close enough for them to have their little conversation, but I'm wondering again where Alistair got it. He SAID he got it from a horseman, which SHOULD mean that Death gave it to him, too. That leads me to believe that Death wasn't so much RAISED in 5.10 as he was BOUND to Lucifer.
You may laugh, but blacklid 's husband and I sat at the kitchen table last Friday and rolled it around in our heads for about 2 hours. Since clearly Death has always been around, either Lucifer raised a vessel for Death to use, or he summoned the SPIRIT/EMBODIMENT of Death and trapped it into a host, maybe, or - *hands*. Clearly it was a massive spell and a whole ton of humans AND demons died to work it, so I'm thinking we saw it happen.
I also think it's probably not actually important, but whatever. I like to know what I think about these things.
Also, it can kill Demons, Angels, Reapers, and rumor has it - the thing itself. Iiiiiinteresting.
*strokes imaginary mustache*
"You just gonna sit there?"
I do love that (even though it was STUPID OF HIM) when Bobby made the deal he wasn't thinking about asking anything for himself. I think that they ALL have reached the point where they aren't concerned at all with their own well-beings, they are simply too focused on saving everyone else, no matter what it costs personally. That also makes me insanely nervous.
Anyway - YAY CROWLEY!!!!! And YAY, SMILING!EVERYBODY!!
It's a much-needed morale boost for everyone, not to mention backup has been restored.
Too bad it makes me really pretty sure that Bobby won't be around much longer.
Now. Would one of y'all go hug Cas, please? Thanks so much.
