Had a pretty shitty day, the worst part was the hour of terror I experienced when faced with the possibility that I might not get to see SPN tonight. Thankfully, the crisis was averted.

OMG Show, how much do I love you?!


I'm trying to be thinky, because there was a lot of great, meaty stuff going on this week, but my brain is too squeeful for coherent thought! There was Lariat, and Steve Williams and a really fucking creepy MotW! Who was played by the bad guy from Brisco County! Man, I really enjoyed that show back in the day.

And Bela! I really, really liked how they handled her storyline. There was one moment where we had the juxtaposition of that creepy scene with kid!Bela's father closing the bedroom door and the look on adult!Bela's face when Dean was confronting her with what he'd learned. Right then, right at that moment I really started to feel for her. She was who she was and she did what she did and that's just the way it was. Lauren Cohan really sold that moment. I teared up during her last scene. I really felt and empathized with her desperation. What a great character, I'd love to see more of her.

But, heh, she shot real dolls. I was amused. *is a 12 year-old boy*

Man, the boys. Whole essays could be written about Sam and Dean individually in this ep and where they're at emotionally and psychologically. At one point my mind compared this to the conversation about vampires they had back in 'Bad Blood,' a time when Sam's ability to deal with grey issues was rightfully shown as a strength. Now compare that to how that same ability has allowed Sam to justify all of the actions he took tonight, to consider that becoming a monster would be the way out. That's excellent, and a prime example of why this show pushes all of my buttons. The complexity and depth of the characters makes me gleefully happy, at the same time that its execution tears my heart into itty, bitty pieces.

Oh, Dean. I don't think I could love you more if I tried. His desperate need to not go to Hell coupled with his growing resignation. He doesn't want to, is more afraid of it than nearly anything else, but he can't see any other future before him. He knew that using the Colt was a pipe dream, but it was the only thing he had left.

The scene with Rufus was excellent. Huh, that makes me wonder, would Bobby have turned out this way without the Winchester boys in his life? Cause there are some interesting parallels going on there.

Not surprised by the Lilith reveal. Ever since 'Jus in Belo' I've kind of been expecting it. Made the most logic story wise. Actually, I've been pretty sure since 'Bedtime Stories' that the new big bad would be the one holding Dean's contract because having more than one demon baddy would just make the storyline overly complicated. It's kind of like how in LotR Saruman could be bad but still be in opposition to Sauron in the books but in the movies they had to simplify things a tad. Or something. ;-)

But I DO NOT KNOW what next week will bring. Don't even have a wild guess. Cause it could be one thing or another thing and I don't want to speculate too much because how much would it suck to figure it out? It would really suck. See, that's the thing with show, it's awesome how sometimes it feels like we're all telling the story at the same time, but sometimes I just have to switch my brain off and be all OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG. Will this summer be like after a truck slammed into the Impala? Or maybe like after Mulder died the first time. Or maybe like after Mulder died the second time, or I don't even know but I can't wait! Bring on the angst!

I think I'm going to go watch that again. *rubs hands in anticipation*
