Bobby = Awesome

GodChuck set up reality so that, at the end, it always had to be Dean and Sam, right? Of course, we know it didn't quite work out that way, but Dean = Michael, and Sam = Lucifer/Samael. The relationships, as far as we understand them, are extremely similar.

The difference is, Sam and Dean would rather disobey their fates, their orders, to save each other, to save the world. They love one another in a fundamental, necessary way. More than they ever loved anything or anyone else. I just watched the fight scene at the end of When the Levee Breaks, and then Bobby chewing Dean a new one at the beginning of Lucifer Rising.

Absentee father/God, check. Righteous older brother, check. Rebellious younger brother, check. Apocalypse should go off as scheduled, yes?

But then there's Bobby! He's humanity, for the boys. He slaps them upside the head, calls them idjits, and MAKES THEM be good.

So, yeah. Bobby saves the world.

Also, maybe Chuck set all this up so that Michael and Lucifer could have one last chance to reconcile?

Dean's problem with angels and god...

Dean: See this is why I can't get behind god.

Sam: What're you talking about?

Dean: If he doesn't exist? Fine. Bad crap happens to good people. That's how it is. No rhyme or reason, just random, horrible evil. I get it. Okay. I can roll with that. But if he is out there? What's wrong with him? Where the hell is he while all these decent people are getting torn to shreds? How does he live with himself? Why doesn't he help?

*pause* *both boys look to Bobby*

Bobby: I ain't touching this one with a ten foot pole.

As a note, apparently god deals with all this by drinking a lot.

Oooh...Sam's happiness about there being angels and therefore a good side to the supernatural - the existence of god...it's just sad, knowing what the angels are really like, what they're up to, and how they're just going to smear him and his loved ones all over the pavement.

*flail* BOYS!

THE REUNION HUG!

Crap. Now I have to go do yard work, and then go get a new cell phone battery. Wait for me, Season 4!

Oh, hi Pamela. I liked you...and Cas didn't mean it. Really.

Jus In Bello

This ep really shows the true character of the boys in a way that I think gets forgotten. Sam's always portrayed as the nice, good brother. In spite of the fact that he's destined to be Lucifer's meat suit. And Dean, given his sybaritic lifestyle, and general ruthlessness, gets portrayed as the hard one. The mean, nasty one. But here, when blondeRuby presents her spell, the solution to get them out of the mess of demons there to kill them, Sam's the one willing to let Ruby slice the heart out of the nice virgin, and Dean's the one who refuses. Who recognizes that winning at any cost isn't winning at all.

Thus cementing my belief that Dean really is the more awesome brother, and that Supernatural is the story of Dean, not Sam.

'When this is over, I'm going to have *so much* sex.'

*glance at deputy*

'But not with you.'

Also, I'm finding that Bella annoys me less this time around. Ruby was always kind of cool, in that, 'you're totally evil and we all know it but Sam's too stupid/desperate to see it' sort of way.

Also, Lilith! Dude, she was so much creepier in a kid.

Bonus: Dream a Little Dream of Me: 'Daddy's blunt little instrument'. I love that line, and the whole argument that Dean has with his subconscious SO MUCH! Also, demonDean is hot. I'm just saying.

'Houses of the Holy' and the Expendables

Given what happens in later seasons, I find Houses of the Holy increasingly ironic. Though I do have to say, they kept the arrival of the 'angel' fairly consistent with the later arrival of angels. The light, the shaking, the electrical issues. All it lacks is the ear splitting/bleeding 'feedback'. Though one could argue that that would be because all the people were those capable of hearing the angels talk. It'd kind of be in line with angelic behavior, too. Them being such dicks and all. Also, hell, that crypt has the *exact same statues* in pretty much the same layout as the convent in season four! Oh, Sammy, you hang onto that faith. We're going to need it to be there so we can crush it into dust, mix it with demon blood, and finger paint with it later.

Hah! Hadda thought! The last bad guy. The way he died. Cas totally was hanging around and smote him for Dean.

Mary Winchester to WeeDean: Angels are watching over you.

Audience: Waiting to steal your body!

oldPriest: Men cannot be angels.

Me: No, but they can be worn like suits by 'em!

re: The Expendables - There's a lot of really massively huge men, beating the crap out of other really massively huge men, and blowing shit up in insane ways. Plot does not matterexist.

Best part? I got to see one of these


in 'action'.

Amber like big gun. Make big boom! YAY BOOM!

'Hell House'

I always forget how much I love this ep. It's not 'important' to the over all arc, but it's the first funny ep spn does. It introduces the Prank Wars, it introduces the Hell Hounds/Ghost Facers (who I *love*!), and it's just chock a block full of adorable Sam and Dean interaction.

WWBD!

Not from Hell House ep:
'what makes you so sure?'

'because i'm the oldest, which means i'm always right.'

'no it doesn't!'

'it totally does.'
