Everyone is flailing so much about SPN and the Sam & Dean reunion, but I'm all "Well yes, but...!"
It felt a little forced, and a LOT brotherly. Brotherly love is good and all, but there was no wincestuous undertone to any of it IMO.
I mean, obviously the show is not obligated to make wincestuous undertones everywhere in the slightest, but considering how much of that went on in S1-3, it feels weird not to see it now.
And I want to see it, dammit!
S4 spent a whole year systematically dismantling a wincestuous reading of the show, so when they give us fanservicey hints now, it feels pasted on :/
I sort of like that they are going to make the brothers work for it, instead of just clicking right back together into that nice subtexty vibe, and I think Dean's line about "making their own future" nods that way. They seem to being making tentative back together steps after the great big incestuous breakup.
(Though I did sort of want Sam to crumble into a GIGANTIC "I MISSED YOU SO MUCH" hug.)
Shooooooow! \o/ I loved Dean referring to himself as "we" like it was the most natural thing in the world. Hee! And, shockingly, I also loved CAS. "What? I like past you." ♥!
And Steve! Totally in the background of that network TV show! Aw. There's no way his friends aren't teasing him about the song though, right?
If there's ANYONE in the world who just run with the "hey, two of me! Dude, future me is sort of a jerk" thing, it is Dean Winchester. Stranger things have happened!
I LOVE CAS. I love now Cas - obviously CONFUSED by cell phones. Also, who is he calling, if he's almost out of minutes? Because his speed dial consists of DEAN, and DEAN, and maybe, SAM-PLEASE-HAND-THE-PHONE-TO-DEAN, which means they have been talking a lot! (please, internet, provide me with Dean and confused!Cas phone sex fic. "But I am standing in the park, Dean. Why would you want me to tell you that I am touching myself?") I LOVE stoned, orgy-holding, totally corrupted by Earth Future Cas! \SHOW/
Oh, I am sure Chris WILL NEVER FINISH teasing Steve about "Like a Virgin". I'm hoping the full version shows up somewhere, because I'm unsurprisingly amused by it. Plus, you know the chorus goes all softly growly....

Spn! I love this show! (As if you didn't know.) Last night's episode felt like it was about two hours long. So much happened.
Jared and Jensen both rocked this episode so hard.
I'm needing a second viewing, but won't be able to watch again until later today. Lots to think about.

I've got the ep saved to flail about more over the weekend. This one's a keeper :D
