Oh show...

[ash48]

There's really so much to say about that episode and I really look forward to all the meta (because I know you all will have AMAZING things to say about it) but..



For me...

Wee!Sam dancing in the fireworks to" Knocking on Heaven's Door" (which I vidded to at the end of the Season 3 - and to that wonderful version! \o/)... just... OMG.. I may never feel such glee again... I just. <333333 (I have hoped SO MUCH that they would team Colin Ford with Jensen somehow... and they DID!!!!! OH SHOW!!! I HEART YOU!!!

That episode was surreal, perfect, painful, joyful, achy, thinky... It was everything Winchester.

More than that though. They actually went there!. They dared to be surreal and leap about. Explore (and mess with) their childhood memories. Actually show us how much they mean to each other... "you and me against the world..."!!!! <3333 there's a song and a crack vid in there I'm sure of it...

I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT THEY DO WITH ALL THIS! The build up to the finale feels so.. *guh*.... it's kinda killing me.

It's late and I'm tired and somewhat flaily, so I'm struggling to say anything that's really coherent.. but. YAY! Show. You even gave me Ash and Pamela back... You love me as much as I love you don't you?

I have some stuff I want to say about how I actually watch this show... but that's for another day. ;)

YES I was very excited to see Ash back after so long. I've never understood why they killed him off so dismissively early on in the show...he had the potential to be a great recurring character. I adored him from the line about his awful haircut "all business up front, party in the back" lol. Then again, they didn't make much use of Ellen and Jo after s2 either, which always surprised me since they could have added a lot as family fill-ins.

That said...can someone explain exactly what made them flail about this latest episode? Everyone on my flist is spazzing out over it and I feel like I missed something. I enjoyed it well enough (Castiel on the TV was hilarious and then the final scene with Dean and Cas losing faith was heartbreaking and beautifully done) but overall I didn't think it was one of the best. As far as recent eps go, I was much more into "Sam, Interrupted."

They have a tendency to do that with many wonderful characters. No idea why. It irks a lot of fans. I'm not sure if they do it to prove how truly alone in the world the boys are or if they like it for dramatic effect. Either way, I wish they never killed off Ash.

Hee! It's kinda weird isn't it - when there's a mass flailing on an episode..

I can only speak for myself but I suspect a lot of it comes down to the fact that they explored the boys past. Their childhood. As you would know fans spend a lot of time speculating and writing about what their childhood would have been like, so to see it on the screen it something to squee about.

And to have such powerful scenes. Seeing what Dean remembers (mostly moments with Sam) and seeing what Sam remembers (mostly moments when he's escaped from his family) is heart wrenching.

But it's more than that. This was an emotional journey episode. It was about Sam and Dean. Not just them hunting a supernatural being. It was an episode that gave us more insight into who they are and what's (probably) going to be important as we head to the finale. And the return to the amulet was very potent. The emotional connection we (as fans) have to it is something else that could have everybody squeeing...

Personally I loved the surreal quality of it.

Oh wow. Sorry to blab so much. It was a great question and I think I'm trying to understand for myself why I loved it so much.
