Welllllll, I FINALLY watched the episode because some amazing amazing person had it uploaded onto YouTube and my computer decided not to die for once. Score! \o/
Ok, so first off, this was yet another great episode. I'm serious, guys, I've yet to be disappointed all season. I am loving the arcs, the revealing of secrets, the characterization, the build-up--and holy crap, was I just in awe of Jared Padalecki's talent?
Oh, why yes, I was.
I won't beat around the bush: I'm a Dean/Jensen girl. I love my Sammy (and Jared, of course), but well, I do have a very obvious preference. Jared pretty much hit a homerun this episode. Just the sheer emotion....I felt like I was really seeing Sam for the first time all season. I have been kind of wary of him, what with the whole trusting Ruby thing and seemingly swinging to the dark side, but 4x09 not only cleared up a lot of my doubts and worries, but made me remember who Sam is: a good guy who is in over his head and dealing the best he can. Don't get me wrong, I hadn't given up on Sam or anything (I really can't see Kripke having Sam go evil) but....well, like I said. I was wary.
....And. Um. I think I like Ruby.
WHAT.
This is kind of boggling the mind at this point, seeing as how up until...well, um, this season I hated her. The change in actresses helps for me: I think I'm in the minority in this, but I like this actress tons better. She appeals to me more.
Plus, oh show, thank you for your clever explanation of the body Ruby's "borrowing."
And. Um. I may ship Sam/Ruby now. *facepalm* That scene was just hot, plain and simple, and dear God, Jared Padalecki, take off your damn shirt more often!
Ok, done being a shallow fangirl! Back to thinky-thoughts. :P
I like Anna. I like her storyline, I like her character, I like the actress playing her, and I like the fact that she's not (as someone on the f-list pointed out) a weak little victim. She has strength to her. God, I will kick something if they kill her off next week.
You know, I'm much like Sam in my disbelief that angels are such....I dunno, dicks? At least in the SPN universe. I don't like Uriel at all. Just....no. I'm really hoping this whole "the girl must die!" thing is another test, but I'm not getting that vibe at the moment. I guess we'll see next week.
Lol, this is ridiculous. I should be asleep - I've been watching Con videos all night, and now this. Jared and Jensen just make me happy. They're so cute and funny and genuine. I mean, they have this ridiculously obsessive fanbase and yet they seem, for all we know, at least, to be great guys who are grounded and friendly and real. I mean, of course you never know, but they seem like the type of people who could sit down with anyone and have an actual conversation. I love that about them. One of these days, I'm getting my ass to a con. I swear, they look like so much fun.
Mmmmmph I have to get up at 8:30 tomorrow and take a theatre test, which I am grossly underprepared for. I am trying very very hard to find it in myself to care, but it appears that my Give a Damn function is broken. God, I need Thanksgiving Break. Just...I'm kind of done. D8
