SHOW.

[wanttobeatree]

JESUS GODDAMN HOW RAD I AM. THAT WAS LIKE. EVERYTHING I HAVE BEEN CALLING, ROLLED INTO ONE BAG OF AWESOME.

• LILITH AND AZAZEL PART OF THE SAME PLAN.
  
  
• ANGELS WANT TO BRING ABOUT ARMAGGEDON.
  
  
• SAM DOESN’T ACTUALLY NEED THE BLOOD TO BE PSYCHIC. eta: I - I think? Now I am confused re quite what Ruby meant there. HM.

AHAHAHA I HAVE BEEN HOPING THAT THE ANGELS ARE APOCALYPSE-BRINGING ASSHOLES SINCE 4x01 HOLY SHIT GODDAMN I AM THE BEST GUESSER OF PLOTLINES EVER. AND I GOT THE ‘SAM WILL BE LOCKED IN THE PANIC ROOM’ ONE.

Okay. Okay. Omfg. Self-congratulation aside - HOW AWESOME WAS THAT. Oh my god I was on tenterhooks. I think that was the most tenterhook-y finale I’ve had since Devil’s Trap. UNF. GOD. SHOW. Idgaf, screw the h8rs, this is my favourite season hands down.

SHOW. YOU BADASSES. I want to give Kripke a great big kiss on his bald little head.

Asjdfbk JESUS. Okay. Okay. I CAN TALK ABOUT THIS COHERENTLY, YES I CAN.

WAYWARD SON. I was so torn between rolling my eyes and going ‘eurgh, again?’ and just - welling up with pride and showlove. I compromised by watching it all the way through, instead of skipping the previouslies like I normally do, and going ‘SIGH :3’

THE FLASHBACK. I got all excited at the date, hoping there would be some wee mama and papa chesters, but YED IS AN OKAY SUBSTITUTE. I still miss Fred, but yellow eyes are yellow eyes and that is okay.

Oh Saaaam. Which - I said QUITE A LOT this episode. “Dean’s better off as far away from me as possible.” Oh schmoo :( he really does judge himself according to what Dean thinks of him, no matter how independent he (likes to think he) is. HIS SAD WEE MASSIVE FACE.

Oh Deeeeean. I kind of fell a little bit in love with him over this episode, but holy shit I wanted to smack him around the head for saying THOSE THINGS he said about Sam. OF COURSE HE IS YOUR BROTHER STILL AND ALWAYS, YOU TWAT. (And then I also wanted to hug him hard for still being all bitter and hurt re Sam fucking off to Stanford. Oh Dean.)

But LOL at Bobby being the Ruby character in the scene mirroring (Bobby bb you could totes pull off that sexy leather jacket. Plus trucker hat.) And double-lol at Bobby flipping the fuck out, omg. Bobby I take back everything I ever said about being annoyed by your deus ex machine ways. I TAKE IT BACK. I seriously thought he was going to punch Dean in the face for a second there, but no! Bobby is too awesome for hugging with fists! Instead, he messes up a table and calls Dean a princess and - most vitally of all - gets through to him. Oh Bobby *_*

I do hope we get some flashbacks/memories of John being not entirely shit next season, though. I don’t think he’s daddy of the year, but he wasn’t the worst father in the world either. I WANT HAPPY MEMORIES.

I may have absolutely no interest, oh god no, in Dean/Castiel as a pairing, but I can’t stop making ~Dastiel~ jokes in my notes. This is like, the third (fourth?) episode in a row. STOP IT, YOU GUYS. I just - I don’t know. Castiel took Dean somewhere fancy, although uhoh he forgot to tell Dean to dress up nice. Worst date ever.

OKAY I AM DONE WITH THE DASTIEL NOW.

I enjoyed creepy nurse demon. She was creepy. And obviously I threw my arms in the air and cheered a little bit at Sam doing his telekinetic demon-meet-wall thang.

ZACK IS SUCH A CREEPY FUCK. I absolutely love, love, love that he really and truly seems to think that the way to Dean’s (humanity’s) heart is with burgers and jokes about fornication. Because he is an angelic asshole without one single damn cluuuue about all the awesome, brotherly things that take place on this planet he’s bringing the apocalypse down on. And oh ho ho look at Dean’s spur-of-the-moment ‘if I do this then Sam doesn’t have to’ pledge coming back to bite him in the ass. I wonder if that’ll still be happening next season, even though he’s pretty much officially ditched the angels now? It would be kind of cool if the words were really binding.

DEAN CALLING SAM. UM. OMG. I WAS A WEE BIT TEARY EYED THERE, NGL. Brb rewatching. Oh his faaaaaaace. And no matter what, they are brothers. BECAUSE THEY ARE IN LOVE. *_*

Watching Sam torture the fuck out of Creepy Nurse Demon was kind of awful but I enjoyed it anyway. On a rather sadistic level, but hey. Sam powers! I love them even when they’re busy making Creepy Nurse Demons scream. And then Ruby went ‘you can’t trust anyone these days’ and CND made her little face and I went oh snap and laughed fondly at the attempt at subtlety.

Also, the whole ‘having to drain an innocent person dry’ thing sent me back to Mystery Spot with a happy, robotic sigh.

THAT LUCIFER NUN WAS CREEPY. And then it was revealed that Azazel and Lilith were part of the same game plan and I PUNCHED THE AIR. (Although nowhere near as much as I did later, with Zack.) Also also, Azazel had to find a special child. Not just drip blood in some random kid’s mouth. He had to FIND a child. Goddammit I want answers to these questions, when the fuck does season 5 start?

SAM. JUST, SAM. I am so sure that if he’d got Dean’s phone message (the real message adbjgfd) he would have backed the fuck down from this evil shenanigans and gone ‘SCREW IT RUBY, LET’S FIND MY BROTHER.’ And hug him. And cling. And maybe cry a tiny little bit.

I really, really fucking hope it comes out that Castiel was the one who let Sam out of his panic room. That conversation HAS to happen. (And then Dean can ineffectually punch Castiel in the face again, oh yes.)

I WAS KEYSMASHING WITH PEN AND PAPER AT THE BIG OL’ ‘ANGELS WANT THE APOCALYPSE’ REVEAL, GODDAMN. I AM JUST. SO VERY, VERY HAPPY WITH SHOW FOR TAKING THINGS THIS ROUTE WHEN I HAD BEEN HOPING LIKE HELL BUT MAYBE NOT ~REALLY BELIEVING~. UNFF. OH MY GOD S5 IS JUST GOING TO BE AN EPIC WINCHESTERS VS. EVERYONE EVER SHOWDOWN.

IT WOULD ALSO BE THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO BRING IN EVERY GUEST STAR EVER TO JOIN THE FIGHT. I AM JUST PUTTING THAT OUT THERE, SEEING AS HOW MY PREDICTIONS HAVE BEEN SO COMPLETELY FUCKING BADASS THIS SEASON.

Also, I kind of thought for a minute there that Ruby was in league with the angels. I mean, if they can pull Dean out of Hell they can pull demons out too, right? Aw man that would have been so cool.

Also, destiny. I really hoped Dean would ineffectually punch Zack in the face at all that destiny talk. And now I hope next season is going to be The Winchesters Stick It To Destiny (With Every Guest Star Ever.) Except maybe killing Lucifer is the kind of destiny you might want to fulfil. Okay, I know, Bobby can kill him instead. There.

“God has left the building.” Oh snaaap. I did have this big old ‘HOLY SHIT IS ZACK GOD?’ moment seeing as he left the building right after saying that, and it would amuse me if that turns out to be the case, but I’d much rather God just… not exist.

I am not exactly Castiel’s number one fan, but that whole scene delighted me so hard. Possibly because Dean was punching him ineffectually in the face (lol, lol forever) and YELLING AT HIM about how awesome humanity is. That’s right, Dean! People are awesome and you want to save them and move on from your Hellfire trauma!

“People - families - that’s real […] I’ll take the pain […] if there’s anything worth dying for, this is it.” OH DEAN.

Although, can I just say, omg I cannot slash Dean/Castiel at all. And not even in an ‘I am not interested in the pairing’ kind of way. Castiel is just so… weirdly childlike. IT DOESN’T WORK IN MY BRAIN. Although, I hope Dean makes it a mission next season to teach him all about ways humanity is awesome. Possibly with burgers and rock music and Mr. T. And Castiel goes :O and Dean goes 8D and Sam goes -_-

(Also, I hope Sam and Castiel hang out a bit more. Dammit, he’d better apologise to Sam for letting him out of his panic room.)

Dean, why didn’t you add a little ‘professionally’ to your ‘we’re done’? YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE AND YOU BLEW IT.

That. That fucking voicemail oh my god. I think angels are actually nastier than demons. I actually gasped irl when - after all the ‘omg yes Sam listen to the message and feel your brother’s love and turn back :3’ excitement - we got THAT. (And hey, nice consistency on the angels apparently being able to mimic people’s voices over the phone.) God, his FACE. His twitching lip. You just know that if he’d heard the right message he would have realised that he didn’t need to sacrifice himself like he thought he was doing (both metaphorically, in the draining a person of their blood = bye-bye a bit of your soul, and literally, in that he didn’t think he was going to survive the fight.) He was hoping for a phone-hug, and then the angels just reached through the speaker and punched him in the face. Bastards.

Put your hand up if you thought Castiel was going to make Dean drink his blood for a second there.

I HOPE CHUCK SURVIVED AND POPS UP EVERY SO OFTEN NEXT SEASON TO BE HILARIOUSLY INEFFECTUAL AND TO MAYBE PROVIDE COMMENTARY ON SAM AND DEAN’S RAMPANT HOMOEROTICISM.

“Don’t be afraid, we’re going to save the world.” I felt weirdly sorry for Lilith there. I always feel a little bit sorry for the demons, tbh. (especially Ruby. OH RUBY.)

Okay, the end scene thrilled me, but what was up with the weird zoom-in-and-out on Sam’s face as he was approaching Lilith? What were you trying to achieve there, Kripke?

SAM CAN HEAR DEAN CALLING FOR HIM OVER THE SOUND OF HIS PSYCHIC. That’s so romantic.

And Lilith is one sly motherfucker who knows just the right thing to distract Sam from his brother and kill her instead - freak, monster. The Lilith actress wasn’t as bad this episode as she was in 4x18, too. Although I still think it would have been cooler had they stuck with a little girl.

THINGS THAT ARE CREEPY:

a) Sam’s black eyes omg.

b) Lilith’s ribs lighting up in the display. Ew.

c) The strategically flowing blood. Cannot lie, when I first saw it - and saw how much emphasis it was getting, as opposed to just being a ‘Lilith is dead, here is her blood’ shit - I thought Sam was going to get a crazy craving and start licking it up off the floor. Yup.

As ever, if you don’t like Ruby that is fine, but keep it out of here. Because I thought Genevieve did a COMPLETELY FUCKING AWESOME JOB in this scene and I don’t give one single fuck who disagrees. Ruby is deranged! I mean, yeah, she was in league with Lilith and manipulating the fuck out of Sam, but once the job was done she didn’t turn around and go ‘HA HA FOOLED YOU.’ She was still just as weirdly, sickly fond of Sam as she always has been. She wasn’t gloating at him, she was gloating with him.

“I know you’re a little angry right now,” like she thinks once he’s calmed down and had a little think about it, they’ll get right back to their shenanigans. Obviously I already loved Ruby long time, but this scene made her EVEN MORE FASCINATING to me.

You didn’t need the feather to fly, you had it in you the whole time, Dumbo.

It had to be you, Sammy. It always had to be you.

Also, Lucifer is going to be grateful and repay Sam.

I would find it all kinds of hilarious if Lucifer is merrily bringing about the end of days next season but he really likes Sam. And every time he sees him, he’s all ‘hey Sam! What up, bro! 8D’ and Sam is all -_-

Obviously this is working under the assumption that CMM is going to be Lucifer.

AND THEN RUBY DIED :( I saw it coming, obviously, but siiigh I am going to be avoiding so many people to keep away from all the gloating. Eurgh. (And also all the people making knife = penis omg Dean is a rapist!! metaphors. He could have beaten her to death with a big fish and it still would have been phallic. Freud is in anything if you look hard enough. Moving on--)

I’m sorry.

Oh Sam. You really, really need to hear Dean’s original voicemail. God, I really wasn't sure up to this point if they were going to be ending this season together or apart. Honestly, I had been preparing myself for TERRIBLE CLIFFHANGERY heartbreak. Sam's little heartbroken apology broke my heart and fixed it at the same time.

DEAN GRABS HOLD OF SAM TO MAKE HIM GO, SAM GRABS HOLD OF SAM TO MAKE HIM STAY. What the hell is going oooon.

And then he says “He’s coming,” with a weird little smile.

KRIPKE YOU FUCK, TELL ME WHAT’S HAPPENING.

GODDAMN WHEN IS THE NEXT EPISODE?

This week on necrophilia watch: Sam drank a woman's blood and presumably enjoyed it on some fucked up psychic level? Ewww.

SO, NEXT SEASON:

I guess Sam is still hooked on demon blood, even if he now knows the truth behind Ruby's hijinks. Maybe there shall be a loving, H/C-y detox where Dean is not so angry and even though he has to lock Sam up again he keeps vigil by the door and shares HAPPY MEMORIES about their childhood.

(Man, maybe I'll ask Jared at Asylum if he thinks Sam will have to go through the detox again.)

Sam does psychicness without blood. And along the way we learn why it always had to be Sam even though Azazel was going around dripping blood into many babies.

Castiel discovers Mr. T. And, idk, Oprah. Yes. Sam, Dean and Castiel all hang out in their motel room together watching Oprah and The A Team. Anna can come too. (There's a thought, I hope Anna's still alive.)

Dean and Sam hug. Lots.

THE END.

OH GOD IT JUST DAWNED ON ME THAT EVERYTHING SAM WAS CLINGING ON TO AFTER DEAN DIED WAS MANIPULATED INTO HIM BY RUBY. IT WASN'T JUST THE BLOOD, IT WAS EVERYTHING. I'M SURE HE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN QUITE SO HELL BENT ON REVENGE AS TO KEEP ON WITH IT AFTER DEAN CAME BACK HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR RUBY PUSHING HIM. ALL SAM WAS LIVING FOR IN THOSE FOUR MONTHS - AND LET'S FACE IT, HAD RUBY NOT APPEARED WHEN SHE HAD HE REALLY WOULD HAVE KILLED HIMSELF - WAS A LIE.

OH SAM. LIFE SUCKS SO HARD.
