loony_moonyFirst of all? HOLY FUCKING CRAP.
Secondly? BEWARE OF THE CAPSLOCK AND SOBBING!
I'm just. I'm SO GLAD it's Kripke who writes the premieres and finales every season because DAMN, IS HE GOOD. He just SETS THE MOOD for a FULL SEASON and lets the other writers fill in the blanks for so much of the time, but GAH. GAH, PEOPLE. HE'S JUST SO GOOD.
Holy fuck, people. This episode gave us funny, family, CRACK, Impala, AWESOMENESS and HOLY CRAP MAN PAIN IN LEVELS I PERSONALLY CAN'T WITHSTAND. MY HEART IS NOT A STRONG ONE, IT APPEARS. (ETA: ALSO SEX. HELLO, JENSEN ACKLES' CROTCH IN OBSCENELY TIGHT DENIM, FOR FIVE FULL MINUTES)
Okay, okay. DEEEEEP BREATH.
Firstly? OMFG WITH THE "CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SON". THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT. TRADITION! (I admit there was a tiny little part of me who was hoping they might get premission and funding to use Led Zep's "Black Dog", but yeah, that'll never happen)
AWESOME RECAP OF AWESOMENESS. I noticed there was a distinct lack of usage of any footage from "Mystery Spot" which should've ticked SO MANY ALARMS for me. Because now DEAN'S DEAD and Sam's gonna have to bacome a MONSTER to save him, in a scenario very much like the Orpheus one, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
heidi8 pointed out. And WHERE ALSO THIS HAS HAPPENED, DO YOU ASK? OH YEAH. "MYSTERY SPOT".
And then OH DEAN. You first think it's a nightmare he's having, but it's actually a FULL-BLOWN HALLUCINATION, and you have to wonder how sleep-deprived he is at this point, and how terrified. And if his gaze pierces through the veil of Hell, how come when he SEES Sam's "real face", apparently (which TERRIFIED THE SHIT OUTTA ME, LET ME TELL YOU), he doesn't say a WORD about it, not even to Bobby. And Sam was smiling SO CREEPILY TOO. And you know what his "real face" reminded me of? THE PAGAN GODS. HELLO, JEREMY CARVER, I'M BEGINNING TO SEE A TREND.
And then BOBBY! BOBBY BEING AMAZING! BOBBY BEING AWESOME AND BADASS AND HIS "FAMILY DON'T END WITH BLOOD, BOY" LINE FUCKING BROKE ME. And he SURVIVED, HOLY FUCK. HE SURVIVED. Bobby is officially THE NEW JOHN WINCHESTER, WITHOUT THE PREMATURE DYING PART, HOPEFULLY.
And then SUMMONING RUBY. Oh GOD, THAT SCENE. It's like, HELLO, FULL ON MYSOGYNY AND THEN SHE KICKS BOTH THEIR ASSES AND I'M LIKE "YEAH! THAT'S FOR EVERY FUCKING WOMAN YOU SPN ASSHOLES KILLED/TORTURED/MAIMED/HUMILIATED THIS SEASON". It's not even 15 minutes into the episode, and Dean already HITS A GIRL. AND THEN. Let me reiterate: SHE KICKS. THEIR ASSES. YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!
And then they steal her knife and leave her there, and somehow she gets out and it's a vaguely disguised plothole WHICH I'LL FORGIVE KRIPKE FOR, BECAUSE HE IS AWESOME.
BUT THEN. OH THEN, WE GET THE DRIVING SCENE. I HAVE NO THROAT LEFT. IT'S A VERY BAD THING, IF YOU KNEW WHAT I DO MOST OF MY DAYS. They drive the car and Dean puts BON JOVI ON and everyone. Fucking EVERYONE'S FIRST THOUGHT IS "DEAN? BON JOVI? DEAN WINCHESTER, FANBOY OF ALL CLASSIC ROCK? BON JOVI?" And even SAM had a WTF face on and then THEY STARTED FUCKING HOWLING THE SONG. They knew ALL THE LYRICS. And you know what's BEST about that scene? YEP. JARED AND JENSEN IN THE IMPALA, BELTING TO BON JOVI LIKE THEY'RE FANBOYS, UNAPOLOGETICALLY LOUD AND BAD. YES!!! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, SHOW! YES!!! My throat was GONE by the end of that scene, when the EMO sets back in, but HOLY CRIPES THIS WAS MADE OF SUCH CRACKY GOODNESS I NEVER WANTED IT TO END. Damn you Kripke FOR MAKING ME FEEL SO GOOD, THEN HURTING ME SO BAD AT THE END. DAMN YOU.
And holy CRAP. LILITH. She takes a vacation by possessing another tiny little girl, and making a demon army fucking possess the rest of the girl's neighborhood while she slowly, methodically TORTURES THE GIRL'S FAMILY TO DEATH. My GOD, that was the creepiest, evillest fucking evil!kid scenario I have EVER SEEN. It was HORRIFYING. HOW IS KRIPKE SO GOOD, HOW.
And then the Winchesters and Bobby and Ruby charge onto the place! FIGHT TIME! That's what I'm talking about. The Winchesters going down swinging just like their daddy taught them. Like a fucking warrior's death. Well, except for the whole stabbing innocent vessels to death to kill the demons, but still. Collateral damage has to happen when you go on a full fucking WAR on Hell's big fish.
And then. OH GOD. DEAN. DEEEEEEN. HE GIVES UP. AND SAM. AND OH GOD. JENSEN WAS HURTING ME AND KILLING ME AND I WAS TREMBLING ALL OVER AND OH GOD. THE SORROW. THE DESPAIR. IT WAS BEYOND MAN PAIN. And Ruby saying "I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy" like Dean was her worst enemy and at the same time not. And then HA, CURVEBALL. RUBY BECOMES LILITH. And Lilith sets the HELLHOUND on Dean and OH GOD OH GOD I DON'T THINK I CAN WATCH THIS SCENE AGAIN BECAUSE DEAN. SAM. THEY SCREAM THEIR LUNGS OUT IN PAIN AND I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER HEARD ANYTHING QUITE THIS INHUMAN FROM THEM, OR ANYONE ELSE AS A MATTER OF FACT. And then Lilith tries her nuclear blow up of doom on Sam only WHAT. HOW COME IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AND OF COURSE THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GONNA DEAL WITH NEXT SEASON. And Sam ALMOST gets her and she runs away and HI NEW YED-TYPE NEMESIS. HIS NAME IS SAMUEL WINCHESTER. YOU KILLED HIS BROTHER. PREPARE TO DIE.
Because we had SO MANY MOMENTS this episode to set the fact that Sam and Dean are like THIS CLOSE and god is it unhealthy and possessive and desperate and Dean sees it. DEAN. He sees the big picture for the first time in AGES and SAM DOESN'T. Dean learns the Trickster's lesson without Sam telling him about it even. "Sometimes you just gotta let people go". YES. Kripke is SO taking a leaf outta carver's book on this one, or is it mutual genius because I DUNNO, PEOPLE. I'm kinda surprised my brain hasn't MELTED DOWN, FRANKLY. And JARED. AND JENSEN. YOU GUYS. MY GOD. YOUR BEST ONE YET? DEFINITELY. I started CRYING AND CRYING when Sam clutched Dean and this has NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE. I BROKE DOWN.
In conclusion? ILU JARED AND JENSEN. ILU KRIPKE AND KIM. NOW GIVE ME SEASON 4 NEXT WEEK, MOTHERFUCKERS, OR THERE'LL BE HELL TO PAY.
Okay, bad joke. :D
IN SEASON FOUR, GAY INCESTUOUS LOVE WILL LITERALLY PIERCE THROUGH THE VEIL OF DEATH AND SAVE THE DAY. OR DEAN FROM HELL AND RESTORE HIM IN HIS HOT, HOT BODY. DOWN TO THE WONKY EYE, KRIPKE. DON'T FORGET THAT ONE.
GOD, I LOVE YOU, SHOW. THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT.
Also I'm really amused by the thought that somewhere in Pennsylvania, Jensen was sitting in front of the TV and laughing at Chad Michael Murray's hair in the ads for One Tree Hill's season finale, just like me.
