I FRIGGIN' LOVED THAT EPISODE! *rejoices* I loved it for so many reasons...

Not least because IT MADE SENSE!!! The monster was awesome. It made sense that it was in a mental institution. It made sense that our boys could gain access by telling the truth and it made sense that an ex-hunter was in there suffering from the effects of the job.

And it was friggin scary. Show doesn't scare me often, but that opening scene with the woman screaming for help had me all worked up! Worked up I tell you. In fact the whole episode had me on edge. And I actually had to turn away when Sam was poking that thing in the dead guys's neck. Let's not even talk about the whole Sam cutting open the brain thing. (ok, so it might not have made sense that there was a saw just kinda laying around. But I can forgive show on this occasion).

And the boys losing it had me all worked up as well!!! Watching them go crazy hurt. (But sheesh, it is Supernatural for god's sake. Of course it hurt!).

But, see, it was the end scene that I totally bought. I was worried how they were going to do the "end of the show brother moment", but it made so much sense. THAT is how they survive all this. They tuck it away and hide it. I buy that. And I loved that they actually addressed it. And I buy that Sam has grown up an angry young man and carries so much anger around with him all the time. (And I suspect this will be mighty important as we approach the end of the season).

Also. Was Sam like crazy BIG in that episode? I mean, bigger than usual? He seemed to take up the whole screen. Maybe he buffed up a big extra just for that "He's larger" line. Hmm... *mind wanders*

And Dean was like GORGEOUS! I'm such a Sammy gal, but my god Jensen was looking super HOT in that episode. Maybe it was those delicious white tee-shirts. *more mind wandering...*

Ok. That's it. Enough blab. I do love the MOTW eps, especially ones that don't neglect the myth arc, that have jokes that are funny, that make sense, have bro!love moments and ends with Sam restrained in some way. :)

*happy sigh*

I reeally liked that episode as well. I loved the premise and I thought it was brilliant how they got themselves into the institution. At first, I thought they were just sending Sam in to investigate or because he genuinely needed some time off the job. But when Dean chimed in with "the apocalypse wasn't his fault" I just started cracking up.

And yeah, Sam looked HUGE. Moreso than usual in that episode, he made Dean look kind of like a kid in one particular shot in the hallway. I was wondering about that too.

I loved how they started to go more and more crazy, that was quite a twist. And they performed it really well.

Hey!

Yes, that opening scene between the two of them had a lovely twist. And I loved that they could actually reel off everything they actually do and it makes them sound like absolute nut cases. *G*

I loved how they started to go more and more crazy, that was quite a twist.

Indeed. At one point I thought the writers had slipped up, because Dean had seen the Drs face in the mirror as the monster, but then realised of course Dean was slipping into crazy mode.. he just imagined it. :D Love that kinda stuff.

Thanks for popping in! :)

Agree 100%.

*nods*

Now this is the type of humour I can live with, I really enjoyed it.

Yes... I love when they can mix the humour in so it fits. I mean that pudding line will go down as an all time classic line. And just the subtle humour of the opening when the boys are being interviewed... perfect! :)

OMG, Sam had me squirming in my seat last night... Those forearms, and his hair, and he was so BIG, and that T-shirt, and then he was so angry and that made more veins, and then woobie face... And then RESTRAINED... Gah! Warm puddle of goo at the end, I tell you.

Oh yes indeed! I have no idea how he manages to look so friggin' huge and as the same time so small and puppy like... when he was pleading for another chance he shrunk about 6 sizes.

And they tied him up.... just for us!! :D I was scared for Sam through this one though, because I had no idea what he was going to do, what he was capable of doing. When he bashed that guys head through the glass I was like.... "Oh Sam...." :(

I do love it when they put the boys in simple t's. They hide those gorgeous bods up far too much! ;)

I agree with a lot of this--I liked the bad guy/girl. I liked seeing the guys in t-shirts. :-) Sam looked big and scary (I even liked watching him shadowbox). Jensen looked good (though I'd pay him good money to stop narrowing his eyes). And the boys' pain and the hopelessness of their situation (they can't allow themselves to feel or mourn, nor do they really believe they can succeed) is just wrenching.

Can we focus on the Apocalypse now? I'm so ready for it!

As I think about it, maybe season six can allow a kind of healing, both individually for both boys and within their relationship (though that's gotten better). If the season finale is indeed their showdown with Satan, you almost want that follow-up season just to see how they adjust to being successful. Because it's been a long time since they've had a big win.

Yes, this. Exactly what I've been thinking. Dramatically it makes a lot of sense and could be very satisfying.

Yes... so much to love.. :)

Can we focus on the Apocalypse now?

It's weird isn't it. They seem to be skirting around what's actually going on in the world. What form the Apocalypse is taking... I know they can't show really us, but the only real mention has been some storms on a newscast. I'd love to see some real evidence that the world is in mortal danger. At the moment it feels like nothing has changed... I am ready for more apocalypse story... though I know it's gonna hurt like hell.

maybe season six can allow a kind of healing

I adore this idea so much. It HAS to happen like this. I desperately want this story line to finish at the end of season 5, as originally planned and then have a season where the boys can start to feel good about themselves. Heal their relationship, heal themselves.... take pride in their achievements. A season of saving people, hunting things and an easing up on the angst. Good old fashioned hunts that don't target their psyche all the time.

*fingers crossed*

All I can say is that I agree with you. *happy sigh* indeed.

Was Sam like crazy BIG in that episode? I mean, bigger than usual? He seemed to take up the whole screen.

I thought it had to do a lot with the camera angle. Because usually they try to make him look not too big next to Dean. But with the anger issue...
But who cares for explanations when you just can enjoy the sight *mind wonders off right next to yours...*

Yeah, I wondered about this. I know they usually work around it so he doesn't look so looming, but man, he loomed in this one! And yeah, it might have had to do with the anger issue being forefront. :)

Oh yes... just more boy for us to enjoy.... hee! (really... I'm not too old to drool over men half my age... *nods*)

After rewatching the epi I'm not so sure about the camera angle thing anymore. *scratches head* Must watch again...and again...

Oooh - how old are they? Jared's in his late 20's yeah? So, no..... not that old!! He'd have to be 22 to be half my age! Phew.... that's all right then!! :D :D *continues to drool* ...

*help* Tell me again how much you wanna see this Sam vid because I am about to boot it out the window...... grrrrrr.....

Ok. Sorry. *deep breath* That's better. I was going to rant on a post but decided to hassle you instead!! Hee! Sorry.

Damn quality problems.... *sigh*

Ok. Good now....

You know this song has a lyric about Sam's anger!! \o/ After last nights episode that makes me feel better about it.... :)

I WANT TO SEE THE SAM VID THAAAAAT BAD !!!!!! *stands with arms wide open*

Did that help??

Yea, the vid will completely fit into the actual epi. So, no excuse left to not finish it....

I was actually impressed with how far Dean has coming from his self-loathing in Season 3 &4. He's admitting that he has too much to bear but that he's doing it anyway. I thought his internal psychoanalysis actually showed a lot of growth.

But my poor Sammy. Hopefully, this will be something to grow from, even though Dean's admonition to tuck it away also made sense. If Sam actually stopped and thought about what he'd done, he really would wind up crazy.

And I adored this episode too! I'm just thrilled that hiatus is over.

Yes! I think I loved this the most. I always wonder how he lives with what he's been through and it just makes so much sense that he lives with it because he HAS to and if that means burying it, then so be it. At least he's acknowledging that this is how it works best for him. I liked Dean's maturity through this.

And yes. Sam has now acknowledged his anger.. maybe he can do as Dean has suggested. Know it's there and just live with it. At least for the moment. I think there's room later on to maybe confront these issues more thoroughly but at the moment they have a job to do. As [livejournal.com profile] ancastar suggests, season 6 would be awesome if it was a season of healing... :)


Also... I'm wondering if Dean's shrink was imagined the whole time? And if that's the case then he was asking himself all those questions... and dealing with them... Which shows more growth one Dean's part I reckon..

Oh god, so it wasn't just me that saw that! Jared did look awfully big in this episode, bigger than usual.

oh yay! You too? It reminded me a bit of the episode Children Shouldn't play with Dead things... for some reason he was appeared huge in that also. Maybe he puts on weight over the break (assuming he had a break that is).

Hmm.... curious.....

there's a reason Jared is this big - he's been all buffed up for this:

Ah! Hee! Yes.... I did hear about that... Could be the answer. Though he was a little tooo large for my liking. But, I'm sure he didn't have me in mind when he was "buffing up"!! :D

Thanks! :)

Might be my weird mind, but the whole mental-instituion-setting was made even more hurtful because of knowing what'd happen if the boys would (would!!) end up saying yes. *heavy sigh*

But yeah, great episode! I loved. ♥

They will not say yes. *nods* (Man, I will have go in there and give them a stern talking to if they say yes!! *g*)
