be careful what you hope and you pray for.
Omfg. DEAN.
what is and what should never be:
1. Dude! Fandom totally wrote that episode. There's no fucking way Raelle Tucker pulled that shit off by herself. (I will never trust her writing again. NEVER.)
2. I will admit to turning off the TV halfway through Sam's last line paragraph.
3. MORE JENSEN, please. Give the weepy episodes to the guy who can act, okay. Thank you.
4. Relatedly, this episode was the first time Dean crying didn't give me the projectile vomiting (it's not just that it was appropriate or anything, but that he wiped his face. Like a man). Thumbs up, though maybe I've just become desensitised.
5. The "fuck you, Kripke" is for wasting half a season on some pretty crap episodes. I thought they'd become incapable of producing decent shit, and now I'm pissed because obviously that's not the case, and yet. "Heart," "Roadkill," "Hollywood Babylon," etc. But mostly "Heart."
6. Anyway, this was pretty much love from the start. Because I have a thing about no!hunting!AUs (no, really, I know you're shocked). And oh, it was good. I kind of hated AU!Sam at first (trues, I kind of hated actual!Sam at first too), but then he got in the car! And he had the bitchface! And the part of Dean that wanted to stay the most was Sam! And it was just--very wonderful. Sam crying didn't give me the PV this time either, yay.
7. If I didn't heart my mom bunches and bunches (black hearts), I would want Mary to be my mom. Toast sandwiches with tomato and lettuce. I bet you they've got turkey and mayonnaise too. Omg.
8. I missed Jess! I'm so happy they were able to get Adrianne Palicki. I love her. And I love Jess. And Sam loves Jess! Everybody wins! I liked that she was part of Dean too. That was cool. I must read that "Jess lives, goes on to have hot threesome with Sam and Dean" AU again. Right.
9. All these "parts of Dean" I'm talking about are not canon. It's just my silly interpretation, based on my own AU writing, Firefly psychological meta, and my intense love of shitty alternate realities/internal realities on scifi shows.
10. Dean in the last several episodes has felt (at times) like a parody of himself. Kind of like s2 Logan on Veronica Mars? Yes. So. It was nice to not get that feeling at all. This is a reason why I don't think Raelle Tucker wrote this entirely on her own. She can't write Dean for beans of gold, okay.
IN CONCLUSION: LOVE. But bitter love, because it could be like this ALL THE TIME and it's NOT and so fuck you, Kripke.
And this time it's actually only ten points. Rock.
Bye.
