SPN: 2:04, "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things."

Non-spoilery reaction:
Goddamn you, Kripke! Are you trying to kill us all? Cause, damn. You broke me. Seriously.

Spoilery reaction:


Oh, shit. From the moment Sam knelt at Mary's grave with John's dog tags... I was gone.

And the zombie? Really creepy. I mean, ew. Necrophilia? So totally wasn't expecting it, but it worked.

And Dean, letting so much of himself come out during the case, but those last five minutes were still such a shock. And my god, the boys sold it. Between Dean and his controlled rage (which, yeah. Jess has a great theory about Dean still being an angry spirit, just one bound in it's body), and then finally breaking down at the end...god.

I love how they're quietly evolving Sam. From the protected little brother to the protector, growing up a little at a time, and suddenly realizing how much his father and brother did for him, or hid from him. It's just gorgeous, and painful, watching him grow and learn and stumble, but in the end, he's always right there beside Dean. Where he belongs.

And the touches of humor were great, and perfectly placed, just enough to keep my heart from falling out of my chest onto the floor.



So, yes. In conclusion:

Kripke (and company), I am your bitch. Ave Jensen. Ave Jared (and his acting coach, cause damn.

I so am going to make an icon this weekend that says "Awkward."

Best Line. Ever.

And yes, my conclusion, he is totally trying to kill us. Ded. So dead I revert to stupid Internets spelling.

I'm still kinda in shock, because somewhere near the end of Season 1, it went from "guilty pleasure" to "good show."

I wasn't really expecting it. I'm not complaining, mind you! Just a little surprised.

I am so Kripke's bitch right now, it's not even funny.

we got this ep this morning and even now (2315) i'm still spinning about that scene with the porn channel. imagining sam all stressed out and looking for a little relief and well, the brain runs away with a smile.

i thought i'd already stapled you to my f-list but just found out that ain't the case so here's a heads up and a howdy.

i totally agree with everything you said. I don't know if I'm going to survive watching this show. But i'm going to love going out watching it too *sigh* Gah they kill me, really they do.
