Now that I've had time to ponder....

[beanside]

Okay, first off: Kripke, you magnificent bastard? You own my ass. I went into this thoroughly spoiled, and you still got me.

2. Boys...goddamn. Note perfect. I couldn't have asked for anything better than what you gave. Jared had the least to work with, I think, but he knocked it out of the park. "Dean's gonna be pissed." Hee! Jensen was amazing, shifting between fear, despair, anger, grief, and hope without needing to say a word. And Jeff. Why must you die in every damned show? Jeff just killed me. From the early scenes with Sam, the arguments, both of them so afraid for Dean. To the hotness of him summoning a demon. (competent John! Mmmm....) To that last scene with Sam "Do we have to fight?" and Dean, "Don't be scared." and the way he came out of the room, somehow...diminished, slumped, then pulled himself up, and walked to the demon like the warrior he is, with his head high...*wibble*

3. I don't think John's dead. It's just a suspicion. He was in the hallway when he handed the gun to the demon, not slumped in a room. I think that was a doppleganger, or something. i think the demon wanted John for some reason. And I think it ties into Dean's "I will walk into Hell and kill every one of you evil sons of bitches" from last season. Either that, or I'm just in total denial.

4. "I totally Swayzed that bitch." Heee!

5. The Reaper? Hot. Mmmm...

6. The last five minutes, where John finally said everything he should have been saying all along! *sniffle* He's proud of Dean! *wibble* Oh, god, John cried. He loves his boys so much, it just kills me.

So, in conclusion, Ow. And I hate you, Kripke. I love you, Kripke. Kim, please to direct more often, cause damn.

Hmmmm. Maybe so. But I do disagree where John was when he handed the demon the gun, because he didn't hand it to the demon, he laid on the tray table... right? The tray table would have been in a room. But it did cross my mind about John not being dead.

I read an opinion in another LJ that maybe John whispered to Dean that he had a plan, which is why Dean allowed him to leave the room. Although no one would have been able to stop John from doing something he wanted/felt as though he needed, to do. No one.

But what if it was all part of John's plan? But the question is: what plan? There are so many things the whispering could have been. And unlike the LJ I read, I thought there were emotions running across Dean's face while John whispered to him. She didn't, she felt it was a non-reaction, so, clearly I need to see it again.

I did enjoy the episode, it was so emotional and I love that.

And Jeff. Why must you die in every damned show?

Yeah, sucks. I watched all three shows: Grey's Anatomy, Weeds and now this one. He needs to get a job that will allow him to stay alive. *gg*
