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?

It sounds bad to say but I hope so! He SHOULD feel bad - he's made some very dodgy choices and they've had terrible consequences, and I'd be disappointed in him as a character if he wasn't cut up about it. That being said - he makes my heart hurt!

Yes. I agree. I really wanted to see Dean cut up over what's happened so I'm glad it's heading in this direction. I actually like that it was Dean to walk away this time and not Sam. I thought once Sam found out what Dean had done Sam might have done the storming away.

I think Dean needs to reflect on his decisions. And now he's back to wanting revenge - which he may need to reflect on too. It hurts to see Dean like this (especially when he's also made a lot of great decisions), but I love it when there's this high level of angst. Great to see Dean as a character put under the microscope. I also hope we get to see what Sam makes of it all.

I loved that it was Dean leaving - breaking the pattern. And that Cas stayed behind to care for Sam. Though it breaks my heart to have Dean out there alone with his guilt.
