100 episodes? Remember when we were fighting swarms of bugs?

I have to make a reaction post, because this is the first time in a long time Supernatural has left me with hearts in my eyes. Episode 18, "Point of No Return", for future reference!

( 100 episodes of epic manpain )

Yes, to all of this. It's been a rough couple seasons. I've been drawn back in this season if only because Michael/Lucifer is an OTP of mine. But it's hurt, so much, that they haven't been Brothers recently. I knew that they could - that it was possible - but it wasn't happening. But this episode has been the payoff we've been looking for for, oh, three seasons.

I think the bit where Dean says he doesn't trust Sam is valid, from Dean's perspective. Since we know Sam, we know he's not going to turn, but Dean is afraid he is. Especially after the Heaven episode where all of Sam's Heaven was leaving Dean, I think Dean didn't trust Sam because he wouldn't let himself trust Sam. He didn't want to put himself in that vulnerable position again and just get fucked over. Again. So I understood Dean's response perfectly. I think Dean had a right to be there during that part of the episode. Sure, it's a little selfish, but since when has Dean ever had the chance to be selfish. He needed that - needed the chance to do what Dean believes Sam does ( ... )

this episode = ♥

i don't even know how this show still owns my heart, but it does. i might not be as invested as i was back in season 2, but somehow it still knows how to pluck at all the right heartstrings.

(also, i'm still neither here nor there on castiel, as much as he can amuse me at times. but i have to say he was pretty damn badass in this episode.)

YES YES YES. Just. ;___; Whyyy does our show keep doing this to us, Anne? It pulls me back in all the time. It did at the end of last season and now this. I've just finished watching the episode so I can't give the most coherent reaction but basically I'm going DEAN! SAAAM!!! MY HEART. I've been a Winchesters girl from the very beginning, and it felt so amazing to see them being BROTHERS again. When Dean said he didn't trust Sam enough my face kind of crumpled and I flashed back to "Croatoan", the way they looked at each other when they thought it was the end. Idek why, but it made me hurt for what they'd been. And then! Oh, boys, thank you for restoring some of my faith in you. I quite literally gasped out loud at the end. Did they actually talk about their feelings or did I imagine that in my haze of wink-induced happiness ( ... )

PAULAAAA. *clings to youuuu* WINCHESTERS!!!! I swear we've had evildoppelganger!Dean for ages now - I could actually SEE him change in that moment he looked at Sam, you know? Like he was shedding all the anger and distrust that has been poisoning his soul, and finally saw that trusting his brother was the right path, his only path, and suddenly he was full of the confidence and sexy swagger that we love so much. And then they talked about FEELINGS and it was HONEST and REAL and HOMG THEY'RE BACK IN LOVE AND I'M SO HAPPYYYYY!!!!

The rest of the season better live up to this, I'M JUST SAYIN. <3
