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?

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*

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.

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. :(
