SUPERNATURAL 7.02
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
WAS SUPERNATURAL JUST LIGITIMATELY EXCELLENTLY WRITTEN? LIKE, I'M SO USED TO THE WRITING ON SPN BEING INCONSISTENT AT BEST THAT BEING FACED WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS JUST CONFUSING.
I'M NOT DELUSIONAL, RIGHT?
THEY DID JUST MANAGE TO TIE TOGETHER AN EPISODIC ARC WITH CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SEASON MYTHARC WITH DEVELOPMENT OF THE SEASON'S EMOTIONAL ARC WHILE FOLLOWING SEVERAL DIFFERENT CHARACTERS AT ONCE AT ALL TIMES AND STILL HAVE THE WHOLE THING FEEL VERY COHERENT AND CONSISTENT AND KEEP UP THE PACING THROUGHOUT, RIGHT?
7.02, WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE REAL SPN????
I ASSUME YOU HAVE IT LOCKED UP SOMEWHERE SO NO ONE FINDS OUT YOU HAVE STOLEN ITS IDENTITY.
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT LET IT OUT.
OH, GOD, OH GOD, WINCHESTERS, I LOVE YOU SO FUCKING MUCH. I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU.
I HAD AN EPIC DREAM ABOUT SAM AND DEAN'S TRUTHY EPIC LOVE LAST NIGHT, SO I WAS A LITTLE SCARED TO WATCH THIS EPISODE, BECUASE SO OFTEN CANON FAILS TO DELIGHT ME AS MUCH AS FANDOM DOES WHEN IT COMES TO SAM AND DEAN'S EPIC LOVE, BUT THAT...
THAT WAS JUST PERFECT.
IT WAS SO PERFECT.
SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMM IS SO CRAZY. AND EVERYONE IS SO MATTER OF FACT ABOUT IT. AND IT SCARES DEAN SO MUCH BECAUSE DEAN LOVES SAM SO MUCH AND HE JUST WANTS SAM TO BE OKAY AND SAM IS TRYING SO HARD NOT TO BE CRAZY BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHAT IT DOES TO DEAN BUT HE IS JUST SO CRAZY ANYWAY AND OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU TWO. ;______________________;
The scene. The scene where Sam was so crazy and Dean was trying to talk him down and oh my goddd. I'm not sure what everyone else saw when they watched it, but I was basically wathing Dean going BUT SAM, I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU. YOU KNOW THAT, RIGHT? YOU KNOW THAT IS REAL, AND YOU CAN BUILD THE REST OF YOUR REALITY AROUND THAT. And I was like YES YES OH MY GOD.
FUUUUUCK IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE SPN HAS DONE THIS TO ME. *falls over from joy*
I love this. I love this, I love it so much. I sort of want to cry, I love this so much.
Okay, okay, I can't talk about Sam and Dean's relationship anymoe this post, I just don't have words, I shall try to remember things other that the epic love of Sam and Dean.
Um. Um. Okay, even despite the fact I just to a break to basically flail to myself I still can't.
Oh SamnDean. ;____;
I am so invested in the cliffhanger. Has there even been a cliffhanger this tense since the S1 finale? Just the fact that Dean CALLED AN AMBULANCE is killing me. They ALWAYS carry each other away from the fight when they get injured. They ALWAYS pick themselves up and continue. But Dean couldn't carry Sam, he needed Sam to be the one to carry him. ;___; I GET THE FEELING THAT LINE WILL BE RESONATING WITH ME FOR MORE THAN ONE EPISODE OF THIS SEASON. They just seemed so helpless in the ambulance, and Sam is still crazy, and Dean is still terrified for him, and then he finds out they're being taken towards the danger when they're at their weakest, not away from it, and oh Dean. Oh Dean. I JUST WANT TO HUG HIM. FOREVER. ALSO SAM. IT WILL BE A THREE-WAY HUG, IT WILL BE EXCELLENT. ;___;
Also, also, Lucifer pretending to be Dean and then fucking with Sam was AMAZING, but I was SO, SO terrified Lucifer was going to take Sam into an actual office block and then have him kill a bunch of 'Leviathans' there who would actually be inncocent civilians. Which is totally what would have happened, had it been actual Lucifer, and not just the most fucked up corner of Sam's psyche.
I would feel disappointed by the fact that they've more or less done with Sam not being sure if he's in hell or not thing, but the fact that he can never be sure if he's talking to Dean, or if he's talking to a halucination of Dean means there is still so much room for Sam being completely unsure what is real and what's not. ♥__♥
BTW, Sam hallucinating Dean telling him he's never going to be okay = SO TRAGIC, OMG. Just. fdjkndfhdajhdf The whole thing is bringing back echoes of that answer phone message for me. (Someone needs to write answerphone/crazy!Sam fix-it fic, which has Dean telling Sam that if it ever seems like Dean is telling Sam there's no hope for him, that's how Sam can tell the 'Dean' talking to him is not real.)
JUST HUG FOREVER, BOYS. HUG FOREVER.
*weeps* MY SHOW. MY SHOW IS BACK.
ETA: Leviathans do seem to just basically be a replacement for demons now that demons have suffered so much Villain Decay (lol, do you remeber when they first showed up and one black eyed demon was a huge scary threat the boys had a tough time dealing with? SO LONG AGO). But I don't mind too much? I'm not super invested in the bad guys, TBH. I know some people are frustrated by the fact SPN keeps using creatures that are not humanoid and making them humanoid, and other people have high hopes for leviathas to be new and interesting, but I'm mostly just considering leviathans to be demons, except we all pretend to agree demons are threatening again. Oh, and they travel as a liquid through water rather than as a gas through the air. Which seems like as disadvantage to me, but whatever. VILLAIN REBOOT.
As long as I have crazy!Sam and concerned!Dean in constant peril, I'm okay with everthing. :3
In conclusion: I think I may enjoy this season? I am pretty hopeful!
P.S. Sam and Dean 4 eva.
