LOL! I took the 'you' as being Dean AND Aam - I didn't get the feeling that it was directed at Dean :P but I am sure the Dean and Cas shippers will squee :P
I enjoyed seeing Ellen was well. I never had a problem with her. Jo irked me but I enjoyed Ellen most of the time so it was nice to see her back.
Good point about the amulet. That would have been nice to see since the overall feeling I got was, that while most things were similar, there were definitely changes and the boys didn't feel that they had gone through as much hell as we know that they did - they weren't as jaded and there was still a certain naiveness to them. Makes me wonder if Lucifer actually got out of his box or not in that AU... :)
Oooh... so he said it to both of them eh? I thought he was looking at Dean particularly. But that might just be where my brain went. (not sure why as I don't/can't ship Dean/Cas.
Jo grew on. I did love her in their final episode. I was watching that the other day and couldn't help think how far she (as a character) had come.
and there was still a certain naiveness to them.
Aaah yes. There was. It was so nice to see them with less weight on their shoulders. It would have been great to get some more info about that had happened to them in this 'verse. They said the apocalypse had been averted but never said how (I don't think..)
You're right, they never said how the apocalypse was averted - I would have loved the backstory there because, like I said, they didn't feel as damaged as we know them be.
As for the love comment. Sam wasn't in the frame but it didn't feel directed at either one of them in particular so that is why I didn't pick up that it was a Dean and Cas thing, and Dean certainly did not squirm or make a bitch-face like I would expect him to if he thought Bathazar was being serious. I thought it was more sarcastic than anything honestly. But I've always tried to look at Cas's relationship as one with both boys anyways. I'm not a huge fan of him being one-sided and have taken a loooong time to warm up to him at all.
Yeah - my personal reading is that it was probably directed to both of them and was meant sarcastically. Though as destina mentions below I think show made it ambiguous enough to have it open to interpretation. :)
I too prefer to think of Cas being there for both of the boys. I think it's taken longer for Cas to warm to Sam but now that he has I feel that he's as protective of Sam as he is of Dean. Though, as I mentioned above, I'd love there to be more going on with him. I'm sure it will be revealed over the next few weeks...
AND ALSO ALSO! The scene where Sam and Dean are talking to Bobby on the phone and Sam shifts CLOSER to Dean even tho there's already no daylight between them! \o/!
So...um... Cas being in love with Dean.... Is that now, like, canon? Or was Balthy just saying that to stir up the boys?
Personally, I like the fact that it can be taken any way the viewer wants to take it. I'm just happy that the show is serving up delicious treats to any and all fan groups, at this point, because multi-pairing is the way SPN fandom is meant to be. To each their own and all that. *g*
YES! YES! YES! to all that :) I so loved this ep for all the reasons you mention. Even though it was AU, it had such a familiar feel of "the good ole Wendigo" days. You couldn't have knocked the grin off my face with a lead pipe. I'm still grinning actually. :o)
I agree re: Fate too. I don't know what to think about Sam referring to her as a librarian ... was it the glasses??? The fact that she looks and acts like she has a stick up her butt? Being a librarian in real life, I don't know if I should be insulted or not ... I think I will just appreciate the fact that Dean recognized that there's more than one type - and he has one! See? Still grinning.
Hee! Still grinning about sums it up. So much to smile about.
HA! I wondered how real librarians might take that observation. It was probably the book holding thing...maybe the glasses.. or the hair... *shrugs* who knows. But I did enjoy that exchange between the boys ... love it when Sam can get in a quip of his own. <3
Oh! I also just wanted to say how much I loved that scene shared between Bobby and Ellen when he explains to her that she and Joe should be dead. I loved the close-ups, how their eyes are framed. This choice really highlights the talent of these two veteran actors. Their chemistry together is amazing, and I really bought them as a couple :)
That scene was fabulous. They played it so well together. Such a shame we can't see that chemistry at work as a regular part of the show. At least we got this bit I suppose. :) xx
~I thought it was a very clever script - i mean we had gore, comedy, pathos and a weaving together of some of the mytharc strands. Add to that delicious Sam and Dean moments as the icing on the cake!
The Cas revelation was huge, and his conflict was palpable. The fact that he's so desperate to lay down some groundwork for Sam and dean understanding what his done, means he knows they are not going to like it.
I agree that it was clever. It brought together each of those elements so nicely. And I loved that we got some more mytharc info. The Cas reveal came out of the blue and I was nicely surprised.
The fact that he's so desperate to lay down some groundwork for Sam and dean understanding what his done, means he knows they are not going to like it.
Yeah. I find it interesting that that even matters to him. In the grand scheme of things Sam and Dean shouldn't really come into it - but they continue to do so. Maybe the "bond" is much more profound than just friendship. Dunno... I'm probably reading more into it than is there.
(Thanks for the gif. I haven't stopped staring at it. :D :D
i loved that scene on the bed - esp as Sam started off with that long leg tucked under him. It just encapsulated how these boys are closer than they've ever been and obviously having lots of sex. I am going to cling to every moment before the inevitable happens...
I have no doubt Cas does still care about Dean adn Sam, but I also have a sense of foreboding that he may also be using them in his scheme in ways yet to be revealed.
