BARNEY/MRS. BUCKMINSTER IS NOW OFFICIALLY MY SECOND FAVOURITE BARNEY SHIP AFTER BARNEY/ROBIN
ASDDFGDS THAT WAS SO EXCELLENT HIMYM HOW ARE YOU STILL SO GREAT
That was basically great apart from all the Cas parts which I mostly ignored. (Except the "DUHEEEAN DUHEEEAAN NWUAH" part which sounded and looked SO RIDICULOUS and made Tree and I cackle like loons. We rewatched it about eight times and still couldn't stop laughing.)
KEVIN'S MUM OMFG SHE IS PERFECT
Also, being in possesion of one age gap kink, I have been more or less entirely on board with Sam/Kevin, Dean/Kevin and/or Sam/Dean/Kevin since Kevin first showed up. This episode I was mostly seeing subtext for Dean/Mrs. Tran (I AM SORRY BUT DEAN CLEARLY HAS A CRUSH) and Sam/Kevin, though. ASDFGHJ THE ENTIRE TATTOO PART. Dean was so impressed by Mrs. Tran! Sam showed off his tattoo (ALWAYS RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS)! The fucking FACE Sam was wearing when he looked Kevin up and down after showing off his tattoo asdfssda UNFF. And then the fact Sam/Kevin was at the front of my mind meant that in the scene in that antique(?) shop where Mrs. Tran is a GIGANTIC FUCKING BAMF when Sam does mental maths and Mrs. Tran looks at him like "Huh. You are smart and I respect that" I was totally thinking about how maybe Sam could win her approval for his relationship with Kevin because he's a mathelete and he was training to be a lawyer before he had to go save the world. AND THEN I WAS LIKE "GOSH I AM THE WORST HUMAN BEING". Haha. Shut up.
Also, no Kevin and his mum are both in on things, does that mean the Trans can now legitimately say "Saving people, hunting things, the family business"? MAN I WANT THEM TO GO BE A MOTHER-SON HUNTING TEAM SO MUCH.
SAM AND MJOLNIR OMG. We were given no direct evidence to the contrary, so I choose to believe that Sam kept Mjolnir. I mean, it doesn't even make sense to leave Mjolnir behind where it might fall into the wrong hands. So obvs Sam must have taken Mjolnir. NOTHING WILL CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE.
Also obviously the Mjolnir thing lead to Tree and I having a conversation about Thor being all upset about Mjolnir going missing and then him and Sif and the warriors three just turning up in Sam and Dean's hotel room at some point to claim Mjolnir back. And Sam and Dean don't pay attention to the news which isn't mysterious deaths, so they have somehow missed that there were gods involved in that superheroes battle aliens in New York thing which went down a while back, so Sam is just like "GODS? NOPENOPENOPE, PROBABLY HERE FOR THE SAKE OF HUMAN SACRIFICE AND/OR OTHER GENERAL EVIL" and picks up Mjolnir to defend himself, and then Thor is all "YOU ARE WORTHY OF WEILDING MY HAMMER? TRULY, YOU MUST BE A NOBLE WARRIOR! I ASK THAT YOU RETURN IT TO ME, BUT FIRST, WE MUST DINE AND TELL TALES OF OUR GREAT BATTLES!" and Sam and Dean are all "...WAT." (But naturally nothing can resist the will of Thor, so they become BFFs and then end up hanging with the Avengers at some point and Sam and Dean have literally no idea how to deal with the whle thing.)
THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO CONCLUDE THIS SPN REACTION:
So I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this so, but so far IT IS PRETTY GREAT.
I am glad the Green Arrow is actually killing people, because TBQH I have always found the idea of heroes who use archery not killing people a little ridiculous. THAT'S WHAT BOWS AND ARROWS DO, GUYS.
It started with a low saturation flashback of Oliver running through some trees, and Tree and I were both like "...purgatory?", which made it kind of hilarous when about twenty seconds later Ollie's voiceover explained that the name of the island was Mandarin for purgatory. PURGATORY: TURNS OUT IT'S JUST SOME ISLAND.
Tree and I basically just spent the episode seeing subtext everywhere. Thus far, the ships we are most interested in:
Ollie/Dig - ALL OF THE CRACKY ADORABLE FLUFF PLS. I basically just want Dig running around after Ollie trying to bodyguard him while Ollie runs off to do dangerous things FOREVEEER. It is possible Tree and I had a conversation about the Queen family going for a nice calming walk in the woods somewhere at somepoint, and then Ollies feral instincts kicking in and him runing off and leaping through the trees while Dig chases after him. THIS IS IN NO WAY RIDICULOUS.
Ollie/his sister whose name I have forgotten - I AM NOTHING IF NOT PREDICTABLE. I basically want all the fucked up people to sleep with their siblings. SORRY I'M NOT SORRY. Buuut I basically love dirty fucked up incest ships. Ollie comes home and they are both so different from how they remember one another and then AWKWARD SEXUAL ATTRACTION. Also his friend being all "You notice how hot your sister got?" followed by Oliver NOT ACTUALLY SAYING ANYTHING totally left me room to reinterpret.
One sided Ollie's friend whose name I have forgotten > Ollie - TOTALLY. HAS. A CRUSH. So our headcanon is that he always had a secret crush on Ollie before the whole island thing, and he always looked up to Ollie for his cool party animal ways and basically wanted to emulate him, and now that Ollie has come back and isn't that person anymore his BFF doesn't know how to properly reconnect with him or what he is supposed to do given that he and Oliver spend five years changing in opposite directions. And then he has TRAGIC CONFUSED UNREQUITED LOVE.
Although obviously we are going to have to watch more than one episode to see if any of these parings have staying power.
Also, the Queen family house keeper? We have decided she can be Oliver's Alfred. \o/
In conclusion: ARCHERY! MENTALLY SCARRED PEOPLE! MURDER! Everything is delightful.
