3x16: Reaction
This is it, then. This episode will either make or break Season Three for me.
I haven't been so excited about an episode in ages. *crosses fingers and hopes*
Unspoilt to the last minute. And there's nothing like AC/DC's Hells Bells to get into the mood... ;)
Curiously enough, a part of me wants to back-pedal out of this and not see what will be ( Read more... )

But even after the most exhausted sleep ever I am still wibbling. I am still affected and I don't think I will be quite right till S4 and Sam's Great Rescue takes place. But how will it end? How broken will Dean be? What if Sam can't do it straight away? How broken will he be? And what does that mean for Dean? Does time pass the same in hell as on earth? If it takes Sam a coupla months will that be a coupla hundred years for Dean? WILL HE SURVIVE THAT????

Because remember... Dean was supposed to have died back in In My Time of Dying (2x01). And Sam's supposed to be dead. But since he's the last member of his PsyKid generation still standing... What does it all mean?!
*grabby hands for new eps*

While my heart aches for Dean, because well, hell's only going to get worse right? Hooks will be nothing compared to when the demons get to him. And one of my friends, who I now hate forever (not really but you know) pointed out that as the scene ended for us the demons were probably already crawling along those chains, racing each other to get the first piece of Dean Winchester, as news of his arrival spread like wildfire throughout hell. And now I cannot get that image outta my head. So I wibble alot about that.
But then I think about Sam. And what he must be thinking right now. The emptiness he must be experiencing. The thoughts of motherless, fatherless, brotherless, ALONE. That must be racing through his brain. And how he will be blaming himself. Thinking Mary died because of him, John died because of the YED's desire for him and now Dean is being tormented in Hell because of him. And because he ( ... )

You see, I keep thinking that maybe Dean will be there all alone. Without anyone. No ghosts, no shadows, no demons. Just himself. Because what a person can conjure up in complete isolation, with no one and nothing but himself for company... That's scary.

And Sam. Oh, Sam.
There is the chance that he learned something from the events of Mystery Spot (3x11)...but then, what if all that he could have learned has been rendered less than ashes by the loss of Dean?
Oh, Sam.

And one I'm most anxious to see how it plays out. Lilith was definitely NOT afraid of Sam when she first spoke up. In fact she toyed with him. But then when she tried to whammy Sam ... it rolled off him like he was made of Teflon. He just got up, walked over, and picked up the knife, while she freaked like a school girl, bolted, and whooshed off up the air vent.
Lilith. Ran away from Sam. After something happened that left him totally untouched by her powers. She couldn't even mash him against the wall, like she did at first.
Something in Sam got triggered. And I am beginning to wonder if what we saw with Dean ... isn't due to the fact Sam screwed up Lilith's game. Oh, Dean's definitely dead and definitely in a bad way. But that? Doesn't match any description of Hell we've heard so far. What happened? Where IS Dean? Is that Lilith's private room, or did Dean's trip to Hell somehow go ... awry ( ... )

And the deal Dean made... what if Lilith can't kill Sam, because Dean exchanged his soul for Sam's life, and Lilith holds the deal? Going back on the deal would force her to give up her claim on Dean's soul, but because the boy's already dead, she can't do that? *thinkity-think*
Dean's whereabout are certainly one more question to ponder during the hiatus. Unless they're playing with the idea of everyone having their own hell... Yeah, I've got nothing. Other than the possibility that Dean's trapped inside his own corpse, unable to command it anymore, but fully sentient.
Damn it all, but I don't need another angsty plotbunny!

*stares at your big thinky brain in awe*
Woah. I never thought of that. Yeah. Maybe there *is* that. She can wish/want/will Sam dead all she wants ... but as the deal-holder, and as the terms of the deal say Dean dead, Sam lives, what IF that means Lilith can't do the deed? Maybe it means only *other* demons can do the killing.
Huh. Interesting.
Or ... maybe it's sort of both. Like you said, Sam wasn't brimming with overt power like Jake or Ava, so Lilith was underwhelmed. Then she tried her whammy, it didn't wham, and bingo - suddenly none of her powers work on Sam, not even her stick-to-the-wall-and- ( ... )

The writers' strike screwed up shtuff. I'd love to know just how much...
If Lilith cannot kill Sam because she's bound by the deal... I'll be so very smug come Season Four. ;)
But it would be relatively elegant. And remember that the RED said that there are rules (alas, I cannot remember the exact episode)... What if even Lilith isn't above those?
She flipped a switch she didn't mean to switch.That's a perfect way to word that thought. Thank You. Something happened, yes. And no instinct humanity possesses is as strong as that of self-preservation, methinks. So here's Sam, knowing all that he does, seeing Dean get torn apart, tortured... and ( ... )

Especially Jared. I blame hormones. :p
That song, though... *gets emotional again*
Though for some reason, it all reminded me of this plotbunny about Jared wearing chaps and boots and a cowboy hat... and nothing more.

Oh, boys.
I really have nothing to add ... other than to jump around about yellow flowers! There was also a pictures of red and yellow tulips in Lilith's bedroom. And there were some other tulip (?) looking flowery hangings in the throughout the house/in previous creep-possessed-kid scenes. It looks like S4 is going to be a very yellow season. :) Also, notice that Ruby, the now apparent ally, traded in her red leather jacket this episode for a nice neutral colored one. Maybe one of these days when life isn't so busy, revisiting those insane red and yellow meta with my S3 glasses on would be an interesting exercise.
I'm SO GLAD you're tuning back in for S4! *hugs*
And what did you do to your wrist?
Reply
I hoped that S3 would end the way it began, and, imo, Kripke and co. didn't let me down. *smishes the Show*
The wrist got the dubious honour of being laden with my full weight after I miscalculated the steps. It's getting better, though. Finally. The Muse wants to take full advantage of it, too. *sigh*

It was a craptastic season, but the finale rocked, big time. Kripke is my favorite writer, he should write more eps.
We have to wait 4+ months... I hope you are up to some thinky thoughts, cause if not, save up the bail money because I will be stalking Kripke and his computer!

September 4th and gods, I wouldn't mind having a new episode now. Must put on the thinking-cap and see how good my scrying skills are...
