OMG.

So, like everyone else's flist, mine's been inundated with Supernatural episode reactions.

Here's another. I LOVED IT. HATERS TO THE LEFT, PLS.

No, seriously. That episode was amazing. I loved Castiel finally coming to terms with something he'd been worried about. I loved the way they had Dean as the cause of all of it, which sucks for him, but it's awesome for the show. And I kind of liked Anna's role in it. I still don't really like her all that much, but I liked that she was the last-ditch effort for Castiel; I loved her reaction when he nearly pleaded for orders.

I loved that he just wanted to serve his Father, and even that wasn't possible because they have no idea if He even exists. Castiel is one of the most heartbreaking characters on the show. Dean is the world's whipping boy, and Sam...

Sam. I loved Sam in this episode. I loved how he's pretty much become a junkie, and how weird is that? I loved that he CAN KILL DEMONS NOW. HOLY SHIT. SAMMY, IF YOU WEREN'T HOT BEFORE, HOLY SHIT YOU ARE NOW. I loved his reaction to Castiel in the hospital.

I even liked Ruby in this, and how she helped, and I liked the blood thing muchmuch more than whatever else they could have done. And were rumored to be doing. Even though Sam's a total junkie now.

I loved that Uriel ended up being a sympathizer, and that now he's dead, even though I think it would have been really interesting to explore that. Although, I really am relieved that he's dead.

Which brings me to Alistair, who was really just hilarious. I found myself laughing at his one-liners, through the tears. I'm kind of sad that he's dead, because the actor was excellent, and I liked the character. Of course, on that same note, I'm relieved that he's dead, because it's better for Castiel and Dean and Sam.

EDIT of the morning after, when I see everything more clearly, and it's all caps: SAMMY, YOU ARE WILLINGLY DOING TO YOURSELF WHAT AZAZEL DID TO YOU. REMEMBER HOW YOU FREAKED OUT WHEN YOU FOUND OUT? HOW FAR GONE ARE YOU, BABY? GOD, I JUST WANT TO SMACK SOME SENSE INTO YOU. AND THEN YOU LEFT DEAN IN THE HOSPITAL ALONE WITH CASTIEL, WHO YOU HAD JUST REAMED FOR MAKING BAD DECISIONS WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR BROTHER. I MEAN, SERIOUSLY? SAM, WHAT IS GOING ON IN THAT PRETTY LITTLE HEAD OF YOURS? I ADORE YOU, AND I'M SURE YOU MEAN WELL, OR...WAIT. LAST WEEK, I WAS SURE YOU MEANT WELL. NOW I DON'T THINK THAT EVEN YOU KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. I STILL LOVE YOU, THOUGH. GO DIRECTLY TO REHAB, JUNKIE. DO NOT PASS GO, DO NOT COLLECT TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS. DID YOU SEE THE LOOK OF BARELY CONCEALED TERROR ON CASTIEL'S FACE AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO ALISTAIR? DO YOU WANT TO BE THE CAUSE OF THAT?

WHY DID YOU LEAVE DEAN IN THE HOSPITAL, CRAZY JUNKIE?

You are seriously more coherent about this than I am. Because I spent the whole episode going, "meep meep meep FUCK meep."

AWESOME episode. Awesome.

[strokeof-genie.livejournal.com]

I have a big Batman pillow, like three feet tall, that I squeeze on for episodes exactly like this. All throughout the episode I had him in a headlock of doom.

[violettestars.livejournal.com]

Omg this episode was awesome. Way too much hotness for me to handle in one episode. I love how dean was the first seal broken and we now know it was all apart of lilith's plan. I feel so bad for dean though that poor boy always carryong the weight of the world on his shoulders. Now I'm wondering if my suspicions about ruby have been right all along. I really think she's been working with lilith since last season.

Now I'm wondering if my suspicions about ruby have been right all along. I really think she's been working with lilith since last season.

So many people are saying that now. Which would be awesome, I think, because how utterly devastated would Sam be? It would be perfect. I don't understand what their aim is, because he can kill demons now, so...a fallen angel hates what he's made and what he's become, so he wants the perfect vessel (Sam) who also has the power to kill demons? Lucifer undoes all his hard work and wants to be accepted into God's arms again?

Or can Sam also take apart angels, and that was the barely concealed terror on Castiel's face after Sam finished working over Alistair?

Or...something else? Sam's going further and further, gone so far that he leaves Dean in a hospital for fuck knows what. I just can't figure out what they're doing with Sam, because he's so obviously going to the dark side. I just can't figure out what they're aiming for.

[violettestars.livejournal.com]

I dunno I think this is all going back to john's original deal. I think azazel and lilith were working together to start breaking the seals. I also think that sam was meant to be more than just a leader of a demon army and that its always been dean's fate to fight his brother. maybe there was more to mary telling dean that angels were watching over him just to get him to go to sleep. im thinking she knew what their fates were.

[hefreak.livejournal.com]

Seriously, everything about this episode was just effing amazing!

I even liked Ruby in this, and how she helped
I know!! Just...the way she was like petting him and telling him it was okay. I loved it for how fucked up it was. OMG. I'm still on a high from this episode, wtf.

I'm so epically psyched for the rest of this season, you don't even know. Or, actually, you do. But you know what I mean.

[hefreak.livejournal.com]

And, and, and! Because I can't stop thinking about it...YES, Sam's reaction to Cas in the hospital! OMG. I LOVE how we got to see him being all protective and pissed that Cas put Dean through that. OMG. Okay. I have to try to calm down.

[strokeof-genie.livejournal.com]

I loved his reaction in the hospital, but then he walked away. Why did he walk away? What did he do for the remainder of the episode that was more important?

Also, Jared. How amazing was he with the obvious anger and frustration and power and God, standing up and yelling at Castiel for what he put Dean through. Jared was awesome.

But, but. Sam. And Dean.

[hefreak.livejournal.com]

Jared was AMAZING. Jensen was, too. They're just...they're too good. I love them so damn much.

[strokeof-genie.livejournal.com]

I just can't figure out what they're doing with Sam. I can't figure out how killing demons now is going to help them, when he's so obviously toeing the line. I CAN'T BELIEVE HE LEFT DEAN IN THE HOSPITAL. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT NOW, SOMETHING IS MORE IMPORTANT TO HIM THAN DEAN. JESS WHY AREN'T YOU HERE TO HUG ME.

I don't get it. I don't get why he left the hospital, I can't think of anything that should be more important than Dean. And I can't help but think and Sam won't realize that until too late, when he's facing Dean from the other side of battle lines, or something. God, I don't want it to go that way.

SEE THIS ICON? I WANT MORE OF THIS.

[hefreak.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I mean...I'm sure he could've gone off to do something dark, but we really don't know that he left the hospital entirely. I mean, the last scene was clearly just supposed to be Dean and Cas. Sam could've just gone off to get coffee or some shit, or the writers just didn't want him in there for whatever reason. He was clearly worried about Dean throughout the rest of the episode, so I don't think he's just up and leaving him completely at a time like that. I could be wrong, but...I don't know, I'm not that worried about it yet.

*HUUUUUUUGS*

[strokeof-genie.livejournal.com]

I bet you that we're going to see Dean traveling alone when Cas isn't with him, and the same with Sam and Ruby. Unless the next episode is just to, like, bridge all of that with something like a Trickster episode or something.

Maybe this upcoming episode is there to show them how much they still mean to each other, once they remember. They forgot each other, who should be the most important people in their lives. Or, Sam is to Dean, but Sam seems to have kind of...I don't know.

Sam still loves Dean, but it's not like it was. He almost considers Dean a burden now, and that's just...I can't get behind that.

[hefreak.livejournal.com]

See, I don't know...I'm probably gonna get flamed for saying this, but I can kind of still see where Sam's coming from, because Dean kind of is a burden right now. And I LOVE Dean. You know I do. I still do. And I'm still probably more of a Dean girl. But I can see why Sam's frustrated, because they're up against the apocalypse, and they need to get their shit together and get moving to try to stop it. It's just like he said in the car at the beginning of the episode, Dean needs to get angry, and forget about being tired. Which...it sucks, because obviously Dean has every right to be a tired mess, with what he's been through. And I think part of Sam wants to be sympathetic about that, because, dude, HELL. But, as horrible as all of that is for Dean, Sam's still looking at the bigger picture, and kind of wants Dean to be more motivated about this whole thing, because if he's not, then, you know...end of the world, and they probably all end up in Hell, anyway. It's actually a lot of pressure on Sam, now that I think about it, because he's sort of trying to get this all done on his own. In a way, they both feel like they have the whole world riding on their shoulders. Dean does, because, shit, he broke the first seal, and now he's supposed to be the only who can stop this thing. And Sam does, because Dean's all messed up from Hell and ready to drop out, so he's gotta get his powers going and take care of shit on his own. I think he's kind of desperate to fix things so that maybe he and Dean can actually have somewhat normal lives one day, because he's said he doesn't want them to be doing this when they're old as hell, and he obviously doesn't want them dead, which, Dean was all, "It's either this forever, or dead."

But, of course, it's probably not going to end well for Sam...or either of them. Because the powers are supposed to be very, very bad. Even though they're totally badass, and he's a pretty useful tool in this war right now, since, crap, even angels are getting shanked. But I'm sure that'll change. :( I kind of wonder if, even if Sam didn't go completely darkside, and actually helped, and they won and everything...if Sam would still end up in Hell, because he's so full of demon blood. Because that would be really ridiculously sad.

...Dude, their lives suck. :(

i agree with the first comment, you are sooo more coherent about the whole thing. i just. i'm mush right now. my brain cannot function.

i agree with you about alastair. everything you said. the actor was fan-fucking-tastic, and i'm actually going to miss that character. but at the same time, yay? they can worry about something else now?

THIS EPISODE WAS SO GOOD. OMG. I NEED TO REWATCH.

[strokeof-genie.livejournal.com]

After having slept on it, I'm stuck on how SAM LEFT DEAN IN THE HOSPITAL. FOR WHAT?

:((( No one knows. Except Sam, but he won't tell you. Or he won't tell you the truth. OMG Sam. I miss him, because he's not really all that Sammy-like anymore.

[hefreak.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, I just read the edit to this post. I can't help it, I'm still ridiculously happy with Sam after last night, I don't know why. He's just so damn awesome. I know it could be leading down a terrible path, but I seriously love him after that episode.

[strokeof-genie.livejournal.com]

I still love him, I'm just scared for him. And Dean. And Castiel. Okay, mostly Dean, because after that episode something better go right in his life. I swear to God, he better have something good happen to him. And with Sam the way he is, derisive of Dean and writing him off as weak, well. I just think that nothing good can happen to Dean while Sam is like that.

And then, I'm worried about Sam, who doesn't even seem to notice how far he's going wayside. Which is awesome in the sense that Jared is doing an amazing job, but it sucks because once he does realize it, it'll either be too late, or it won't be but he'll look back on what he's done to get here and he'll just...break. Or he might not realize it at all, he might never figure out what he's becoming and how different it is from how he was, and that would be the most heartbreaking thing of all, I think. :( Sam, ilu and imissu.

It's just frustrating, because he's a genius. A genius who is being spectacularly stupid. An evil genius, if you will. :///

[hefreak.livejournal.com]

Okay, mostly Dean, because after that episode something better go right in his life. I swear to God, he better have something good happen to him.
Seriously! Dean needs some kind of happy ending. Or some kind of relief. They both do. But Dean, especially. He's been through way too much shit, and to think it's just gonna keep going? Oh, God. I still seriously want to hug him. Bad. It's so not fair. At all. OMG, none of it is. I've said it before, and I'll say it again...this show is going to kill me. I'm betting we're going to need major hugs after the season finale.

*takes Sam and keeps him far away from rehab* Junkie Sam is my new fave :p
