coyotesuspectDude! THEY CHOPPED OFF PARIS HILTON'S HEAD.
Epic.
Oh Show. Oh Show, oh Show, oh Show.
I really enjoyed this episode, but it was kind of weird. It felt a lot like season 3, i.e., Dean is kind of an asshole, and Sam is not as long suffering as he likes to think he is. (And the talk about finding the Colt, and why they were not). AND THERE WAS NO CASTIEL. (Which, come to think of it, is probably a large part of the reason this felt like an older episode.)
Also, we had the return of daddy issues! ABSENT FATHERS. HOOKER FIC. DEEEAN.
But I am so, so glad Sam gave the speech that he did. Because he's right. Dean's never really treated Sam like an adult. Sam's always been Dean's "kid brother." He constantly refers to Sam as "his job" or "responsibility." (That's my job, right? Show my kid brother the ropes.) Part of the reason Dean was so torn up about Sam starting the Apocalypse was because he felt like it was his failure. Obviously he had failed as an older brother if Sam could do something like that. It's not that Sam and Dean have always had an unequal relationship, but that Dean has always seen Sam not entirely as a person, but as a concept. Much as I love and ship wincest, that's always been my greatest problem with it. Until Dean can see Sam as a partner and an adult, their relationship will always have tension.
AND THEN DEAN AGREED AND ADMITTED THAT IT WAS HIS FAULT TOO AND LET SAM DRIVE.
I've been waiting for Dean to admit his culpability all season. He even did something better- he pointed out that Sam honestly, really didn't know better. Which I wanted Dean to admit, but wasn't sure we were gonna hear. This is great. I am so freakin' happy right now.
I do think it's interesting that they placed this huge step forward in the boys' relationship in an episode that felt so much like the earlier seasons. They're going back to the basics. But they're going back to the basics in a better way.
ALSO. I forgot what also was. ):
Oh right. I still want Castiel to acknowledge that he let Sam out. And personally, I think Castiel, of- Sam, Dean, and Castiel- is most responsible for the Apocalypse, because he's the only one who knew is actions would lead to the breaking of the final seal and the rising of Lucifer.
I'd also like them to address Evil Message of Evilness.
And, while we're talking about things that aren't likely to happen, Sam and Dean should have a hug that doesn't involve someone coming back from the dead.
Re: The rest of the episode. Very funny. :D But I think I liked it more for the speechifying and relationship talk than evil!Lincoln and evil!Gandhi. Which, considering that I loved evil!Lincoln and Gandhi, says a lot. And yay! Paris! She did a good job. :D And, lol, Sam can have a conversation in Spanish just from remembering freshman Spanish? LOLOLOL I do love how all Sam's non-hunting related talents are explained by "college." A knowledge of art history? COLLEGE. Conversational Spanish? COLLEGE. Filling out the New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle in ink? COLLEGE MOTHERFUCKERS.
Oh, and Dean and Sam both have laptops! LET THE WEBCAM WINCEST FIC COMMENCE, BITCHES.
Finally: HOLY SHIT DID YOU SEE TH E UPCOMING OMG CASTIEL IS GOING TO TRY TO KILL A CHILD FAIL CASTIEL AND :D :D :D OLD DEAN! AND TV SHOW HILARITY AND AND AND AND AND
THIS IS MY FAVORITE SEASON EVER, GUYS.

(Secretly, I'm trying to say that I really agree with you about Dean seeing Sam as something more abstract than a person and that being the major problem in their relationship, but I like to word it with "BUTTSECKS!")

Date: 2009-10-09 02:48 am (UTC)I've been wanting that two and it was awesome!
YAY for two laptops as well!
I'm in love with the return of geekboy!Sam (maybe because I have to drink every time he's geeky, but w/e). Also, Jared either is being a badass actor or has a TERRIBLE Spanish accent for someone who grew up in San Antonio. Admittedly, the Spanish he used was pretty basic stuff and I think I could have eked out that conversation in French after a year of college French. The NYT Sunday Crossword, not so much.
Also, Cas needs to angel-up and admit his part in all this shit. I'm not 100% on him being all bad, but he needs to get his shit together ASAP. And not kill any kids.

Ah, I see.

I've actually started liking Castiel this season. XD I don't want him to be in all the episodes, but I no longer want him to die in a fire either. So. I'll just say I agree with you.

Date: 2009-10-09 08:21 pm (UTC)I have to agree with pretty much all of this, and once again, am just ecstatic to see an entirely happy episode reaction.
One of those things that I think I'm too emotional to type up and explain in its entirety is that I really understand the way Dean's always thought of Sam (a concept as you put it), but LAZY AND SITTING IN AN AIRFORCE BASE EXCHANGE FOOD COURT. So I'll have to do that later.
I too enjoyed the nostalgic feel of this ep. And as much as I love Castiel, I'm kind of looking forward to him going away, dying, whatever, if it gets us more episodes like this. It was just good over all. :3
OFF I RUN TO COMMENT ON MORE OF YOUR ENTRIES, I'M SO BEHIND. AND THE SMELL OF ORGASMIC KETTLE CORN IS HAUNTING ME.

I look forward to reading your thoughts when/if you write them up. Also, OMG YOURE AT A BX. YOURE AT A BX FOOD COURT. HELLS BELLS, THAT BRINGS ME BACK.
I bet there's a Robin Hood's and an Antony's Pizza somewhere around. Rite, amirite?

Yes. I don't hate Castiel anymore, but I do prefer it when it's just the boys. <3
