UM.
I may not make sense all the way through this. Not that I ever make sense, but it's coupled with a cold + cold medicine. I'm loopy.
Okay, after doing the whole pic-spammy thing, I'm coming back to the beginning. I think I like this episode a lot more than I initially did. There's definitely some problems - the episode was almost too intense, especially since there was absolutely no victory for the good guys of any kind, and the only real information we gleaned is that the Colt is useless.
It's still not the strongest episode ever, but I think it beats pretty much every other mid-season finale. Yes, including S2's "Croatoan." And it definitely beats S4's "Heaven and Hell" by fucking MILES.
FIRSTLY, I LOVE HIM. HOLY FUCK, I LOVE HIM. "COMPLETE BAILOUT OF YOUR BANK'S INCOMPETENCE."
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLING FOREVER AND EVER WE GET OUR FIRST ONSCREEN M/M KISS OF THE SHOW AND IT'S THESE GUYS
ALSO, MARK SHEPPARD TWEETED "Tired. Six hours to film my first on-screen make-out session..." BACK WHEN HE WAS FILMING THIS. DJKALS;DJKALDJ;SALK
SNEAKY CASTIEL IS A VOYEUR SNEAKY
This is only here 'cuz it's pretty.
"GOING... DOWN."
Dean's wanted to hear those words from Castiel for such a long time. <3
HUGGY BEAR. HUGGY BEAR. CASTIEL IS DEAN'S HUGGY BEAR
I ADORE HOW SAM LOOKS OVER HIS SHOULDER WHEN DEAN CALLS CASTIEL "HUGGY BEAR," BY THE WAY.
As much as I'm starting to hate the trench coat, I kind of adore how iconic it's making this character. It's almost like Spike and his duster.
ALSO, SHOW: I LOVE HOW IN THE FIRST THREE MINUTES, WE GET M/M MAKE-OUT, "GOING DOWN," "HUGGY BEAR," AND TWO BAMFS WALKING AND POOFING.
Holy FUCK I LOVE HIM SO FUCKING HARD.
This scene was waaaay too fucking dark. But I also loved it. It's laying out some really nifty turns for the second half of the season, I think. Crowley can't possibly be the only demon thinking that Lucifer will go after demonkind after humankind is gone.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF REMIND ME TO NEVER PLAY DRINKING GAMES WITH CASTIEL
HE WILL DRINK YOU UNDER THE TABLE MOTHER FUCKER
JO IS PROPERLY AWED ♥
I LOVE THESE BOYS. They may rib on each other, but they do it with LOVE.
In another life (in a Castiel-less world), I would ship them, and I would probably ship them HARD. But I love Jo so much more when she's not being shoe-horned in as a romantic interest.
DEAN'S HORNY. AND JO IS WEARING A FUCKING MISFITS SHIRT.
See, HERE is an example of why I like Jo. She knows she'd just be getting used, here. I think she's still got feelings for Dean, and she knows Dean doesn't feel the same. It takes me back to the moment in Born Under a Bad Sign: "I'll call you." "No, you won't." Oh, BB, I'm so PROUD of you.
COCK-BLOCKED
Goddamn, this reminds me of the photo Dean found at Bobby's in "The End." Definitely taken with the same camera. (p.s. Castiel is such a downer sometimes!)
YES BOYS, YOU GET BETTER RECEPTION OUT THE WINDOWS OF THE IMPALA. ALSO, ANTI-GOD IS ANTI-AMERICAN, BUT ADULT VIDEOS ARE ABOUT AS PATRIOTIC AS YOU CAN FUCKING GET.
I love it when Castiel is all... other-wordly. \o/
Hellooooo, Lucifer.
It's kind of amazing how even with how little we've seen of Lucifer, he can kind of make Castiel seem... small.
Oooh, Lucifer's not looking too good, though. I was kind of hoping that Lucifer would... remember Castiel a bit more than this name searching thing, but I'm okay with this reminder that their family is a bit HUGE.
I really, REALLY love this whole fucking scene. Lucifer has something in common with everyone. I so-so-so wanted it to be revealed that it was Lucifer who brought Castiel back, but I guess I can't have everything. But this dynamic they're playing here - Lucifer rebelled and was cast out, Castiel rebelled and was cast out - it's something I never really expected the show to play, but they did. <3
And Castiel's response to Lucifer's offer: "I'll die first." It's not even "I'd rather die first." It's "I'll die first," like he's just stating facts. D:
I really kind of don't like Meg's characterization. It's not even the actress - it's the way she's being written. I miss smart-alec "I don't give a rat's ass about the master plan" Meg.
JO D:
NIT-PICK: SALT DIDN'T KEEP OUT HELLHOUNDS BEFORE. IT WAS GOOFER DUST.
OHHHH, DEAN. He looks so fucking LOST.
I love, love, love this exchange. Bobby bringing Dean back around the ONLY WAY he can. "What do we do next, Dean?"
"HELL, I'VE DIED SEVERAL TIMES MYSELF." Oh, Dean.
Ahahaha. So, when I was growing up, pretty much the only family vacations we went on were Civil War battlefields. No joke. It was my father's doing. Been to pretty much everything north of Tennessee and east of the Mississippi River. We never got to Carthage, but I know about that one. (Quite frankly, writers, Antietam/Sharpsburg would have been more carnage-heavy, although I guess that might've been too obvious, and there were also three significant places of battle in Antietam instead of the one convenient location in Carthage.)
Sorry, I must get my nerd on even further: I don't think this print is from the Battle of Carthage. I could be wrong, but the battle of Carthage had a hell of lot of "soldiers" who had JUST been recruited, meaning they didn't even have uniforms. Also, Carthage had buildings and shit. This is just a field.
And back to the sad. Jo, baby. T__T
Guys, the episode made me fucking CRY. Supernatural has NEVER made me fucking cry - not like this. And it was RIGHT HERE where the tears started. God, Ellen.
This kiss, right here? This isn't a "I love you" kiss. This is a complete and total "I'm sorry I couldn't save you" kiss. Goddamn it, I'm crying again.
God. BOYS. I don't even have any fucking words.
Goddamn it. I seriously can't even cap this scene because I just start bawling all over again.
And I'm going to say this right fucking here and now: if you want to march into my journal and start bitching about gender issues because Ellen and Jo died, this seriously isn't the fucking time to do it. Please, please, please: do it on some other entry of mine. I don't mind debate and discussion, but just don't do it right here.
What Jo and Ellen did here was fucking amazing. I know fandom will bitch that they died, and once again point fingers and call SPN a sexist show. I see your point. I really do.
But to me, dying isn't what's important; what's important is what they did with their lives. The writers gave us these two brave, beautiful, strong, tough-as-fucking-nails women. I'd much rather see them - two women that I can look to as role models - than most of the women I see on television today. Give me these two for four episodes rather than four seasons of manipulative, lying, or ditzy women.
Just give me some big damn heroes.
This show just did.
*deep breath*
And right back to it:
I do not understand why Dean WARNED Lucifer he was gonna shoot him. I mean, it didn't work anyway, but why must Dean always get last words in with the bad guy?
JAKL;DJSKALJDSALK;J;KDLSAJD;LA LUCIFER JUST SAID "OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW"
AHAHAHAHAHAH HE'S SO GRUMPY AND IRRITATED AND SQUINTY-EYED ABOUT JUST GETTING SHOT IN HIS BRAIN.
NICE lighting, here.
I kind of adore that Satan himself is doing all this manual labor.
What the fuck is up with Detroit? Also, good GOD, Sammy! /o\ Okay. Um. We have more anvils. We already had this anvil. Though this conversation here left me wondering if this means we'll be getting a flashback to "the fight," when Sam left for Stanford.
Oooh, foreshadowing? Castiel can't exorcise demons anymore. He knew he wasn't able to heal Bobby, but he seemed like he expected this to work. Is he gradually getting weaker?
For some reason, I thought he was going to kiss her. O_O
SO WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS, I DIDN'T SEE THIS:
WHICH LEFT ME VERY VERY CONFUSED AS TO HOW DEAN AND SAM GOT BACK TO BOBBY'S.
Goooood, this shot is sad. Only fucking hours before...
Because of my initial confusion of how Dean and Sam got back to Bobby's, I kind of originally hated this ending. Now I kind of love it.
Dean's going to start getting fucking EATEN with guilt. I'm sure he already is, but it's starting right here. I think Dean knows, somewhere inside, that he could have stopped this. He could have saved Jo and Ellen. There was a chance, anyway.
All he had to do was say "yes."
UM.
I may not make sense all the way through this. Not that I ever make sense, but it's coupled with a cold + cold medicine. I'm loopy.
