Supernatural Episode Reaction/Review/Thoughts (5.18-5.20)

May 01, 2010 03:32

Okay, since I have notes for all these episodes, this may get a little long. I'll try to keep Point of No Return and Hammer of the Gods squee short because no one wants to talk about that, I'm sure.

ON WITH THE SHOW! Warning for spoilers, as always!

( Point of No Return )

YES TO EVERYTHING. BUT ESPECIALLY TO SAM AND DEAN AT THE WORLD'S END IN. THAT WOULD BE SO AMAZING I MIGHT DIE.

Crowlely has always been British. AND I AM NOW IN LOVE WITH HIM. ♥ ____ ♥

IT WOULD BE EPIC. BUT I CANNOT WRITE IT. I WOULD BE ASHAMED TO TRY TO WRITE ANY SANDMAN FANFIC, MY SKILL LEVEL IS TOO LOW.

Ah, okay then, I must have just missed it the first time around. I LOOVE HIM SO MUCH!

Also, gah, Mark Sheppard is everywhere. I just say an ep of Dollhouse and he was there too and then he was recently in Chuck and Leverage and WOW, HE GETS AROUND.

I AM LIKE THAT ABOUT SANDMAN TOO. AND VAMPIRE CHRONICLES. There are somethings I just don't trust myself to pull off.

HE IS WONDERFUL. I WANT TO BE HIS LOVER IN LEAGUE AGAINST SATAN.

LOL He really is. I just watched that episode of Chuck last week and was all HEY, IT'S CROWLEY.

SO MUCH GAIMAN EVERYWHERE. But despite my uneven reaction to it, I did enjoy it a lot. And Kali ROCKED SO MUCH. And Marksha was AWESOME.

Sam just wants an excuse to say "get in me, Lucifer."

LOL. I APPROVE XD

"So, wait," said Dean. "You gave Crowley your soul? Crowley?"
"I'm not spelling it out for you again," Bobby said.
"How - I don't even - what the fuck, Bobby?" Dean said, throwing up one hand and starting to pace. "I thought we weren't giving up. Isn't that what you said? And then you turn around and decide to pimp yourself out to a demon for what? The greater good? Shits and giggles? We could've found Pestilence on our own!"
"I'm not giving up, boy," Bobby said, tired and gruff. "It's a loan. And what was your master plan for finding the horseman anyway, huh? Oh, that's right, none of us had squat until this demon showed up!"
"Wait a second," Sam interrupted. "Dean, when you sold your soul, didn't you have to -?" He dares a look at Bobby, and dies a little inside. Mental pictures. "Uh. I mean. Yeah."
"What?" Dean said. He looks at the two of them. "What?!"
"Dean he had to - uh." Sam's mouth twitched. "Lie back and think of England."

[Castiel] has every right to be angry.

I don't think he does. I don't remember a single time when they said, "Hey, Castiel, you should rebel OR ELSE YOU CAN'T SIT WITH US." He made that decision by himself and if he's now regretting that decision, well, he can change his damn mind.

I don't think Gabriel really respects humans, so to speak, he just thinks they're a lot more fun than the angels. I mean, he's been hiding with the humans for a very long time, he must have at least some weird affection for them as toys if nothing else. And a lot of people will do anything to avoid having to spend time with family.

I love how everyone else's canon for Sam/Jess was Jossed while mine was Kripke'd. *smug and superior* :P <3

scorpiod1 May 2 2010, 00:00:37 UTC

It WAS his decision to rebel. But he did it for Sam and Dean because he believed they could stop the apocalypse and he wouldn't be friends with them if he hadn't (and I think Dean was convinced him to do so, I think, cause if he hadn't, Sam would now be a Lucifer vessel and Dean would probably still be stuck in that Room from Lucifer Rising. I'll have to rewatch the ep though). It is Castiel's decision and his responsibility but from his POV, if Dean had given up and said yes to Michael in 5.18, then everything Casitel did all season was pointless and I can see how that would be infuriating for him ( ... )

Yes to Adam. I love that his mom is more important, and he was kind of whatever about John. This is kind of funny, give how jealous Dean felt that Adam had a dad that went to his baseball games, but really. Adam had a way healthier childhood, which meant he viewed his family in a less-skewed way.

...Gaiman did do it better. I feel like the other gods maybe should have showed up and had stuff to say about the angels before this.

Though, I really don't like how easy it was for Lucifer to kill all those gods. I know Krikpe is drawing a lot on Gaiman, who has most old gods as not too powerful anymore because no one believes in them, but it should not be that fucking easy to kill a whole hotel of pagan gods. It should not be so easy to kill fucking ODIN.Especially since Hinduism is still a major religion. (I mean Kali and Ganesh, not Odin.) So a Western figure defeating them so easily feels pretty ethnocentric ( ... )

scorpiod1 May 2 2010, 00:24:43 UTC

Yeah, I feel the introduction of gods in a positive, against the Apocalypse (since all the gods before that were presented as evil) was too little, too late. And I completely forgot that Hinduism is still being practiced, in which case, KALI SHOULD HAVE FOUGHT LUCIFER IN AN EPIC SHOWDOWN. SERIOUSLY. Though, I get why they gave that to Gabriel, since the audience knows him better and it would have more impact.

Kali lived, right? I'm really glad she did.

OH MAN, I WANNA READ THAT FIC SO BAD. AND YES ON THE ANGELS BEING THE MOST FUCKED UP. I mean, the Winchesters are pretty messed-up, but neither of them once ate one of their parents and liked it so Salvatores are MORE FUCKED-UP THAN THEM, but Angels sorta of pwn all of them in Fucked-Up Family Olympics XD

streussal May 2 2010, 01:26:47 UTC

Yep, Hinduism is the third largest religion, after Christianity and Islam, with around a billion people. And I think it goes back further than Judaism, depending on what you count as Hinduism.

Kali lived, and I'm glad too. I want her to come back and be awesome. But Gabriel showing up to save her wasn't my favorite thing.

I found the fic! ...and I apparently forgot to comment on it.

Eating your parents and liking is pretty hard to beat. I guess in the Buffyverse, the Angel-Darla-Connor-Holtz thing could give them a run for their money. (Holtz was a way worse dad than John Winchester was.) But there aren't any brothers in that.

I think Angels tend to automatically win forever. The Lucifer/Sandman angels are pretty screwy too.
