why do i STILL not have a spn icon?
Well, I liked it! It was a filler episode, but a necessary one.
I thought they handled the boys' grief very well. Just like always, Sam is trying to solve his problems by solving other people's similar ones. Saving that girl's dad was saving Bobby, and maintaining her "innocence" was maintaining his. Dean is trying to solve his problems by trying to solve the problem, as immediately and violently as possible.
Random Thoughts:
- I had a moment of horror at the Twilight-esque montage in the beginning. Then I counted all the alcoholic beverages in the room and entertained myself. Their insides are good and pickled now, let me assure you.
- Speaking of, when the Magic Disappearing Beer made an appearance I actually yelled at my tv something like: "Oh god, are they going to say the A word? Are they actually going to acknowledge that Dean's an alcoholic in this episode? Holy shit they are! Eeee!" *bounces* (BTW, Best Friend thinks it might be Ghost!Bobby drinking Dean's beer. As much as I'd miss Bobby I kind of hope not.)
- So close to saying the A word. Give it time, my friends.
- Dude, if I spent 36 hours asleep upright in a chair I would be stiff as a board when I woke up.
- Hmm, what's Dick building? A summer home? A temple to himself? Some kind of tower that controls people's brainwaves, turning them into cattle? An angel holding facility? Starbucks? The world willprobably find out in the next few episodes never know.
- Love the reference to Dean being a badass hunter on his own for awhile. Did you hear the emphasis in Dean's voice when he mentioned that Sam was at Stanford? He's still so proud of him for going. And you could see substitute!girl!Dean's brain implode a little bit when he mentioned that Sam quit the life.
- So the way you get into hunting is having a loved one killed horribly by the Supernatural? Then the family business is a form of PTSD, canonically speaking. Color me surprised.
- Good on you, scary substitute!girl!Dean, for not letting yourself get left behind. Bad on you for making things worse, though. If I were the vampire thing I would have snapped Daddy's neck right then and there. ...Does that make me evil? Probably.
- Best friend during final commercial break: Fast forward! Fast forward!
Me: I can't!
BF: Why not?
Me: 'Cause you wanted to watch it live, whore!
BF: DAMMIT.
- Dean's fakeface after Sam stops watching broke my heart a little. And how he's totally enjoying hanging out with Eliot Ness(!) in the trailer... or is he? I mean, you can say all you want to about what the episode means, but really it's all about DEAN'S LITTLE FAKEFACE OMG.
Also, I may or may not be doing research on writing a circus-themed SPN AU, with Dean as a knife thrower, Sam as a lion tamer, Crowley as the ringmaster, Bobby the manager, and the angels as popular trapeze artists. God help me.
