Ep reaction...

[ash48]

Fly by reaction 'cause I'm still holidaying and I'm weirdly exhausted (in a good way *g*)



I fucking LOVED that! It was intense and epic and so damn satisfying. There was some awesome brother stuff (god Dean watching "Sam" suffering and that conversation at the end), awesome Dean angst (there's lots to be said here, but I'm too tired atm - but wow, deep stuff), awesome kickass Sam (I love you Sam. Just so you know), and I'm even gonna say awesome Cas stuff (really love this version of Cas. One of my favourite moments was his look of utter despair when watching Sam and Dean at the end. He feels so much for them both...). So thrilled to see Tahmoh back as Gadreel. Crowley and Abaddon facing off was cool (though how did Crowley disappear? Can demons do that?).

Gadreel had his chance to be "good" (and I really thought they were heading down that path), but he blew it and he and Metatron are clearly the big (big) bads this season.

I'm sure there were holes and problems and issues etc. etc. but at the moment I'm just so happy to have Sam free of Gad. I loved that it was messy (seriously?! Sam had an angel AND demon inside him.?! He's one hell of a vessel!), and I actually loved where they ended it - rather mysterious with Sam's "that's not the problem"....

Welcome back show!!! \o/

What did ya think? I have no idea what the reactions are like yet. Am I alone in this?

You are not alone! ROCKIN' episode!

Sam and Dean (and Jared and Jensen) totally blew me away. Dean's scene in the library, staring at the spot where Kevin died? Sam recalling everything that Gadreel had done while in his body, and then the dream fight? WOW.

This was the first time I've actually liked Castiel in ages. He was oddly . . . human. This Cas, I can live with. (But still don't trust 100%. Let's hope he doesn't pull the usual card and betray them again.)

how did Crowley disappear? Can demons do that?

IDK, but I'm not surprised. I'm holding to the "Crowley is a weird hybrid something until proven otherwise. His eyes don't change color. His smoke is RED. A slightly different animal, is our Crowley. :)

Totally with you on the Gadreel issue too. I was hoping that the meeting with Abner would turn him around, but . . . no. Good guys don't kill their close friends because someone they pretty much just met tells them to.

rather mysterious with Sam's "that's not the problem"...

Indeed. And in typical Winchester fashion, he doesn't explain what he meant. Oh, boys, will you never learn?

Hey darlin'!

Yes. This was a Cas that we saw once during the height of the Team Free Will days. I had hoped his being human would have an effect on how he would be "reborn" as an angel. I liked what I've seen so far. :))

His eyes don't change color. His smoke is RED. A slightly different animal, is our Crowley. :)

oooh, his eyes don't change colour. Really? I've never thought to check that. And the red smoke is interesting (though isn't Abaddon's smoke red also? Dammit, now I gotta check this stuff). So maybe not even a demon? Ooooooh, that would be very cool. I do think he's changed because of the human blood though.

Good guys don't kill their close friends because someone they pretty much just met tells them to.

Yeah. Bad choice. I think Gad has got some major issues and it will be interesting to see where they take him. I'd be surprised if he's simply "bad'. He might end up turning and maybe even redeem himself. Though wow, he'll have a lot of redeeming to do.

And in typical Winchester fashion, he doesn't explain what he meant.

Damn him! Now we have to speculate! :DDDD
