9.01, or, Carver does it again

Oct 09, 2013 21:07

Just saw 9.01 and loved it. And wow, my previous two posts sure did get jossed a lot, occasionally more or less word for word .... Ah, well; I always seem to find my way to the same wavelength with the writers. Consider this a blanket warning that any of my future fics (now that I'm keeping up with the show in real time) may end up spoily ( Read more... )

but that moment with head!Dean where he takes his wrists and pats his face. Sam wants - NEEDS - his brother to let go of him.

Oh, yes yes yes yes! Sam was so withdrawn, such a shadow of himself all through S8, seeming just so exhausted. Dean drags him on and on and on, and never asks what Sam wants, and yes, as you say, it's stupid and selfish, considering he's now SEEN IN SAM'S MIND WHAT HE WANTS. Of COURSE Sam just wants it to be over. He's never had any say in what his life's like, he's always hated hunting, but no one will let him get out. Poor Sam, oh god, I love it.

I LOVE DEATH TOO. It makes me so happy to see his face and hear that unique accent--he DOES steal every scene. I can't believe that actor isn't in EVERYTHING.

Dean telling Cas to take care of himself for once gave me so many feels.

I KNOW, and how every time one of them needs the other they always just miss each other, because Dean is too unforgiving, and Cas is too naive, ARGHHHH, feels yes. It feels so good to gush over this with someone!

I'm such a Sam girl, I always tend to have more sympathy for Sam, but yeah, I don't really see what else Dean could have done that, you know, Dean would actually do. Our poor tragic boys, and tragic Cas, too!!

Ooh, Dean is the Sam in that relationship--I like that. Hm ... I'll have to think more on that notion ....

I like Sassy at least as much as I like Destiel--maybe more. Tender moments between Sam and Cas are so rare (and they make Sam so happy), I love them, too. I especially loved how Sam was the only one who gave Cas a chance when he was god!Cas and he went and prayed with complete sincerity (while Dean was just all "fuck you!" about the whole thing) and it paid off. Sam and Cas are more gentle with each other than Dean is capable of, they're more similar, and it's so very sweet.

Yay, a new friend! And back atcha.

Yes, something told me you'd love 9.01 :D Poor Sam, poor bb <3 and DEAN, how selfish and stupid (and lovable) of him. I need to write/read S9 fics too!

I'M SO GLAD!!! I've been thinking about you/how you were receiving the last bit of S8. :DDDDDDDD

I enjoyed Dean's angel beatdown, though it didn't satisfy me as an H/Cer, necessarily. I prefer it when the H/C is of actual import to Dean, whereas with that scene it was like GOD THIS IS SO NOT RELEVANT TO MY LIFE RIGHT NOW. Which is endearing in its own way, of course. His "oh fuck me" face when he's going against/manipulating/mindwiping/lying to Sam was very satisfying, though. *___*

God this ep. SO RIDICULOUS but it just makes me smile whenever I think about it. I was skimming clips from 6x11 with regard to 9x01 and the entire time I was just like, THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS so I think that may just be my reaction to Show in general. Yes, this is a show that actually exists. This is, somehow, something that aired on television. What even!! <333

(As for your last two posts, I haven't read yet--still on Dorothy's fic, which I HAVE read but have not yet written to. But they looked fascinating, so I'm looking forward to them!)

I had to tell you--I'd read that you said that 9.01 was ridiculous, which had me rather worried, especially as I'd just come back around to loving Show again and I REALLY didn't want that to go away again .... So then I dreamed that I watched the episode, in which Sam sang a Pearl Jam song (and Jared sounded just like Eddie!) to express his feelings, and Dean sang a butt-rock song that was really, really bad to express HIS feelings, and it was horribly embarrassing by proxy and UNDOUBTEDLY RIDICULOUS but on another level somehow it worked. I woke up and laughed my butt off ... and was extremely relieved when no one broke into song in the ep ( ... )

kalliel October 12 2013, 03:05:51 UTC

lolllll That would have been quite ridiculous! XD I for one hope they never do a musical episode, as much as their precursors would seem to have the world believe this is a rite of passage...

I've now seen the episode FOUR TIMES (once on Tuesday, thrice today--there is a story behind that, I swear, it is not as psycho as it sounds!) and I managed to calm down a little bit but that first night I was just SO excited and so tuned up and after really letting myself percolate in S8 while doing my Top 10 (not to mention the added energies of the HT meme) and just so, so ready. And it was beautiful. AND COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS. And like, YUP THAT ANGEL JUST HOPPED ON A TRACTOR. YUP WE GOT THE KING OF HELL IN OUR TRUNK. YUP WE LEGIT JUST DROPPED A BUNCH OF ANGELS ON THE PLANET. YUP GAS IS 2.35 IN COLORADO. (If it is, I'm moving in with you guys, jsyk because I'm not even sure how many years it's been since I saw THAT. I'm NOT A PRAYERFUL WOMAN, NOR DO I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES, BUT I CAN READ A GAS PRICE SIGN.) But not ridiculous in a way ( ... )

BAH HA--yes, I really enjoyed farmer!angel jumping on his tractor, too. Very Beverly Hillbillies. I picture him arriving ten days after everyone else, going, "Where's that goldurn Dean Winchester at ( ... )
