7.13 Insta! reaction

OMFG!!

Ok. So I figure they'll be a mixed bag of fan reactions to this one (I'm sure that touched on a few issues that may upset some) but I really REALLY enjoyed it!

Talk about angst overload. Jeezeee SPN. How many times can you tear my heart out and stomp on it?!

OH BOYS!!! That final scene. :((((( Whaaaaaaaaaaaa "Don't get killed". *SNIFF*

I adored ADORED the camera work and the editing!!! \o/ The intercutting between Dean having sex and the guy being chopped up was amazing. As was the scene with Dean and Lydia. All those fabulous close ups on the eyes and lips... GUH!! Great directorial debut from Jerry Wanek.

The ep was really nicely paced. I was on the edge of my seat pretty much all of the time.

SAMMY IS SO WORRIED ABOUT HIS BIG BROTHER. Awwwwww All those little looks of concern, frustration, and worry. Dean's barely coping. Sam's barely coping.

HOW DO THEY GET UP IN THE MORNING!?!

I really liked the turn about. Sam having to kill Emma. The call back to Dean killing Amy. Loved the continuity and that that one moment, from so many eps ago, still holds so much importance.

GHOST!BOBBY \o/ COME ON... is that canon now??? He's looking out for them beyond the grave. He is isn't he?! *NODS*

DEAN WAS A DADDY. My god. Just add another level of angst why don't ya Show.

They really are seeing how far they can push Dean before he completely snaps. I have no idea what Dean snapping would actually look like though. We've seen it before - after John died. A death wish. Maybe, drinking until he can't move? Carelessness to the point of getting himself killed? (which, nah...there were references to him staying around for Sam. I think Dean WILL try and not get killed for Sam's sake). *shrugs* I don't know. I have to say I prefer Dean when he's not so morose and downbeat but I get that it's part of his character journey this season so I'm curious to see where they take it).

Something I can never figure though. Why on earth do the boys leave the window open? Surely they know things can get them through an open window. Sam must remember being taken in Long Distance Call. (I know... adds to the tension and all that. Well, it did for me).

*yikes* gotta dash. Busy weekend is god damn busy! Glad I was able to squeeze that in. Another awesome ep.

Whatcha think? I have no idea what the reaction has been/will be to this one. Don't worry about harshing my squee. I'm cool with that. Though feel free to squeee along with me. :DDD

AHHHH! I know! I was worried my reaction would be the lone positive one, given the subject. I was totally surprised by it myself. But recipe for making me like an ep: Excenuate the gloom and doom of the Winchesters and throw in some Sam worried about Dean FOR Dean. And I am YOURS.

I just love how the show went, yea sure we'll do the whole corny trope of main character finds out he has a kid. Only because it's SPN, the news is like a DEATH SENTENCE. And is basically only an impetus for Sam to declare his love to Dean again. Only SPN. I love it. XD

I am also wondering where Dean's rubberband snap is going to be. But it almost feels like the whole season is working towards it, which would make the end of the season 20-22/23, the most likely place for it, eh? I kinda keep forgetting we have a whole extra episode this year. I know so fans are yelling where is the plot? But imo, there's been too many years where it's been all plot and not enough character/relationship dealings. This year, it's what it's all about. I'd actually rather see the Leviathans become a two season thing, so the focal point to deal with at the end of the season is Dean dealing and not spent on Leviathan defeating. Plus they're too ripe a monster creation to just go, okay, let's kill them all now, you know?

Ha! INDEED!

The snap - assuming that's what we're leading up to - will be very interesting. It certainly feels like we are heading toward something.

And some are saying there's n plot? Like an overall arc? I'm actually liking that we are getting to see them actually have to confront and deal with how crappy their lives are. SO much has happened to them. It's great to see the Show taking stock of that.

If they blow of the leviathans in one ep it would be fairly disappointing. I keep hearing "this is their most challenging monster yet" (from the Show)...so their downfall is going to have to be pretty major I suspect.

*rubs hands* well see. We're just over half way through, so lots more to come...\o/
