1. Happy turkey day fellow Canadians and Robin Sherbotsky!
2. Still waking up with Doctor Horrible lyrics in my head (everyone's a hero in their own way! In their own not that heroic way).
3. The Office 5x02 - Business Ethics
Awww, that was so old school with all the Jim and Dwight shenanigans. Plus, Holly! Just trying to do an awesome job at work, gettin' beat down by the system that only pretends to care about quality but totally actually only cares about profit. BEEN THERE.
Also, to all Canadians out there, if you miss an episode, which I do every week, you can stream it all free and legal like at the Global tv website.
Micheal: You are a thief of joy.
Micheal: I just don't want my employees thinking their jobs depend on their performance. I mean, what sort of place is that to call home? Meredith needs this job. It's her main source of money.
Jim: At 12:41 he sneezed. While keeping his eyes open. Which I always thought was impossible.
Jim: On the flip side I've been so busy watching him I haven't even started working. It's exhausting. Being this vigilant. I'll prolly have to go home early today.
Micheal: What's the only thing worse than an HR rep?
Ryan: Two HR reps.
Micheal: You get me.
Micheal: How do you tell someone that you care about deeply 'I told you so"?
4. SPN 4x04 - Metamorphoses
Random demon guy: Tell me about those months without your brother. About all the things you and this demon bitch do in the dark.
OH, YES PLEASE. DO TELL, SAM. I'm so glad they keep bringing this up. That lost time. I'm cool with it taking a long time to find out exactly what Sam went through, as long as we get there eventually. And how funny is it that the big Sammy reveal after we've been biting our nails like crazy for weeks is that Sam is... STILL SAM. Still trying to do good. Still trying to make good. BUT I GET AHEAD OF MYSELF.
I think I forgot to mention this in the Lazarus Rising picspam, but I freaking LOVE that Sam causes the demon to be vomited out of the possessed person. I find it really disconcerting. You know, as exorcism's go. *g*
THEY MIGHT AS WELL BE DOING IT. LOOK AT THOSE TINY SATISFIED SMILES. He lets her see him at his most freaky, and when she sees him like that she smiles. And really, I do think it's THAT right there. The intimacy of this whole dark side thing. The extent to which Sam's guard is down when they're doing this. I think the writers have demonstrated that they're way too on top of the whole possession thing to GO THERE. But I'm enjoying the blatant subtext. Is that contradiction? Can subtext be blatant? Either way I AM ENJOYING BEING MERRILY STRUNG ALONG BUT THE WRITERS. And if they do go there it sure is gonna pack a punch like nothing before.
1. THEY ARE BAD ASS EVIL DOERS DOING DARK THINGS THAT GOD DISAPPROVES OF!!!1
2. Oh, wait, no. They are cute puppies just trying to make the world a better place.
3. *ARE CAUGHT WITH PANTS DOWN, OH SNAP*
Dean: So. Anything you want to tell me, Sam?
Dean: Ruby? Is that Ruby?
Guys, why is Dean more interested in who Ruby is, and what she's doing with Sam than he is in the fact that SAM CAN EXORCISE WITH HIS MIND? Jealous much, baby? I think that's super telling, that Dean can deal with Sam's freakiness, as much as he's against it, but he CANNOT DEAL WITH OTHER PEOPLE BEING INVOLVED.
LOL. Some things never change. But I'm SO GLAD Dean found out about Ruby already. I enjoyed the relationship those two almost had last season.
Dean: You don't need me. You and Ruby go fight demons.
~*~*~*~*~*~*DRAMA QUEEN~*~*~*~*~*~
Sam: You satisfied?
I have so many issues with Dean hitting Sam. SO MANY. Possibly because I still half see Dean as the person who raised Sam. Possibly because both of the times it's happened Sam has just TAKEN IT and NOT FOUGHT BACK. As if it's okay for Dean to work though his anger by using Sam's face as a punching bag (SPOILER ALERT: IT'S NOT). OR MAYBE BECAUSE I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE ANYONE HITTING SAM WHO IS JUST SO LOST AND DESPERATE FOR UNDERSTANDING.
Dean: What else can you do?
Sam: I can send them back to hell. It only works with demons...
Dean: WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO?
Sam: I told you!
Dean: And I have every reason in the world to believe that.
Sam: I should have said something. I'm sorry, Dean, I am. But try to see the other side of this.
Dean: THE OTHER SIDE?
Sam: I'm pulling demons out of people.
Dean: USE A KNIFE.
Sam: The knife kills the victim! What I do most of them survive. Look, I've saved more people in the last five months than we've saved in a year.
Dean: Slippery slope, brother. Just wait and see. 'Cause it's gonna get darker. And darker. And god knows where it ends.
Sam: I'm not gonna let it go too far.
And the award for voice cracking at the exact right moment goes to Mr Padalecki.
Dean: If I didn't know you. I would want to hunt you.
Sam: You were gone. I was here. I had to keep on fighting without you.
Sam: And what I'm doing. I works.
Dean: Tell me, if it's so terrific. Then why'd ya' lie about it to me?
Dean: Why did an angel tell me to stop you?
Dean: Are you just gonna stand there and tell me that everything is all good?
So Sam's lying to Ruby, too, huh? Or is that a bro-induced headache? I LIKE THAT IT'S HARD TO TELL.
Oh, how far those two little boys have come.
Sam: I can't believe it. Mom? A hunter?
Dean: I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself. That woman could kick some ass. She almost took me down!
Sam: How'd she look?
Dean: What do you mean?
Sam: Was she happy?
Dean: She was awesome. Funny and smart. Hopeful. Dad too.
Ahaha. SAM. STOP PUSHING YOUR BROTHER AWAY. HE DOESN'T LIKE IT WHEN YOU DO THAT.
Sam, Sam, Sam. I love your stupid face.
Travis: Man, you got tall, kid.
It is the best when they meet up with someone who knew them when they were little. They both revert back in to "Aw shucks, good ol' boys". The way they both stand their all smiley and bashful like. TOO MUCH.
SAM WAS A MATHLETE. OF COURSE HE WAS. Oh man, Sam/Lindsay Weir! Right? RIGHT?
Travis: You still a... ah, what was it? A mathlete?
Sam: No. Nooo.
Dean: Yep, he sure is.
Travis: Look at cha'. Grown men. John would have been damn proud of ya'. Stickin' together like this.
Dean: Ya. We're as thick as thieves. Nothin' more important than family.
SYNCHRONIZED SLEEVE ROLLING. AJLAJA; SHUT UP, BOTH OF YOU, WITH YOUR BARE FOREARMS.
The dialogue in this scene, the MotW is so anvilishis it hurts. The evil thing building in a seemingly normal person. Once he goes over the edge there's no turning back. The hunter who wouldn't have wanted to have to hunt the poor kid. OH, I HOPE NOT. Dean hunting Sam would be INSANE in a possible AWESOME AWESOME WAY, but I really don't want Sam's powers to be treated like an addiction that he can't give up. The West Wing is the only show that's handled addiction in a way that's even vaguely interested me. Eh, whatever, we'll see. SAM IS PRETTY. THAT'S WHAT REALLY MATTERS.
Sam: What if he doesn't? Change?
SAM AND HIS, "AND THAT'S HOW YOU SAVE EVERYBODY" FACE. ADORABLE.
Dean: Sam loves research. He does. He keeps it under his mattress next to his KY. It's a sickness. IT IS.
... juxtaposed by Dean's "PLEASE DON'T MAKE THIS HUNTER WANT TO KILL YOU, SAM" faces.
I CANNOT EVEN FUCKING TALK ABOUT HIS FACE RIGHT HERE. OR THOSE LITTLE BITS OF HAIR THAT SPIKE OUT EVERY WHICH WAY. CAN'T. EVEN. JLALAKLA
Sam: You want to know why I've been lying to you, Dean? Because of crap like this!
Sam: The way you talk to me, the way you look at me. Like I'm a freak!
IF YOU TWO NEED TO TAKE SOME ALONE TIME BEHIND THOSE BUSHES OVER THERE TO RELIEVE SOME OF THAT TENSION NOBODY WILL MIND. SERIOUSLY.
Sam: Or even worse, like I'm an idiot! Like I don't know the difference between right and wrong!
THANK YOU FOR FINALLY SAYING THAT, SAM! Even if you, you know, might be wrong.
Dean: Do you know the difference, Sam? 'Cause you've been kinda strollin' a dark road lately.
Sam: You have no idea what I'm going through.
Dean: THEN ENLIGHTEN ME.
Sam: This disease pumping through my veins and I can't ever get it out, or scrub it clean. I'm just trying to take this curse and make something good out of it. Because I have to.
Aww. Still our boy after all. And even with all this dark side stuff I can't imagine him any other way. I just... I don't know where they're gonna go next with this, I really don't. They've already had so many of the big moments, and confrontations, and conversations. And we're only four episodes in. This is such a NO HOLDING BACK season. IT'S EXCITING.
Dean: We're here to save you... I guess.
Random hot chick: I'm calling the police!
Sam: We should go.
LOL.
This MotW REALLY REALLY WORKED FOR ME. Aside from being so fucking disgusting I'm not sure the CW even has a ratings board any more (SERIOUSLY, SHOW. FUCKING SERIOUSLY. YOU OUT DID YOURSELVES IN THE GORE DEPARTMENT BY ONE THOUSAND MILES). I don't know what it was. I just found the guy so sympathetic AND AT THE SAME TIME TERRIFYING. The whole "he could take a bite out of anyone at any moment and oh please don't let it be his wife" bit played out really well. And the fact that it was this situation where he was in danger of losing his wife and unborn baby that pushed him over the edge was Winchester levels of tragic, both a good reminder of last week and, I'm hoping, NOT foreshadowing for Sam's future. Plus, when this dude did go over the edge he EMBRACED THE PSYCHO WITH OPEN FREAKING ARMS IN SUCH AN ENTERTAINING/DISTURBING WAY. All thumbs up.
Sam: Dean!
Jack: Dean can't come to the phone right now.
Sam: Jack! IF YOU HURT HIM, I SWEAR TO GOD...
Jack: CALM DOWN. Your brother's still alive, but not if you don't calm down!
Best Sam interaction with an inanimate object since TUS.
Sam: Jack. Listen. Open the door and we can figure this out, okay?
Jack: Yeah, we'll have ourselves a little brainstorming session. You too. Your friend. YOU MADE ME IN TO THIS.
Sam: You don't have to fall in to it. It doesn't mean you have to be a monster.
Jack: You you SEEN me lately?
Sam: It doesn't matter what you are, it only matters what you do. You have a choice.
He runs in to the fire. And Sam puts him out of his misery. I have this list in my head of none Sam/Dean moments on this show that has really choked me up. This is totally on that list.
Sam: Don't worry about it Dean. Dean, if it's all the same I'd really rather not talk about it.
Dean: What? You don't want to talk? You?
Sam: There's nothing more to say. I can't explain myself to you, I can't make you understand.
Dean: Well why don't you try?
Sam: Because I can't! This thing, this blood, it's not in you the way it's in me. It's just somethin' I got to deal with.
Dean: Not alone.
Sam: Anyway, it doesn't matter. These powers. It's playing with fire. I'm done with them. I'm done with everything.
Dean: Really? Well that's a relief. Thank you.
Sam: Don't thank me, I'm not doing it for you. Or for the angels, or for anybody. This is my choice.
Yeah, that Catherine Humphris can stay. Sam telling Dean he can't understand because they don't share the same blood? He might as well ask for his bros for life bracelet back. And his resignation, and pushing Dean away. And Dean just NOT ACCEPTING THAT, because Sam has left him before but NOT AGAIN. At first I thought Sam was just lying to Dean again, as easily as before, but on the re-watch I'm thinking he really does intend to give up the powers. And will either find that the pull to use them is too strong (I hope not. See above) or he'll find himself in a situation where he has no choice.
4. NEXT WEEK IS GONNA BE SO FUN.
*giggle giggle*. OH, PRETTY BOYS REDUCING ME TO MY 13 YEAR OLD SELF.
