SPN 4x11


So, yeah, that was a full on creepy episode. I haven't been this creeped out by SPN since ... No Exit which, while it wasn't a perfect episode, did manage some really creepy stuff.

I was a little disappointed that hiyacynth was wrong and it wasn't the "nice," "normal" family who was all incestuous and weird but rather then the former tenants. Plus, I'm sorry, guys, that wasn't 'Home,' that wasn't anywhere near home. But you get major points for effort. And, like I said, it was fucking creepy. I really did have to hide behind my hands a couple few times.

But, seriously, they didn't even show the dead dog. Compared to 'Home' this was a cakewalk.

Not to seem like I didn't enjoy the episode, I really did. I promise. *crosses heart* It was Winchesters being Winchesters and there was lots and lots of good stuff packed into the scenes.

I'm not sure how I feel about the last scene. I've had a hard time since 'Heaven and Hell' dealing with Winchester angst. It's like, it used to be that the emo on my TV or computer screen was strangely cleansing, that I could roll all of my own stuff up and vent it through my reaction to what was happening to the Winchesters but now it's just too much. There's just too much that's going wrong for our boys. I've read a couple good, angsty fics over hiatus and my reaction at the end was to say, "Well fuck you too." All of those bad things make me want to go out and kill some stuff and make everything better for everyone and I can't, just like I can't help all of those poor kids in the real world who are trapped in shitty situations. I'm powerless and they're powerless and none of us can do anything to make any of it better.

So it sucks. And I'm having a hard time listening to Dean talk about how he enjoyed torturing people in Hell and how can he live with that? And not a hard time in a, 'I'm going to cry forever' kind of way, like after WIAWSNB and more of a 'I want to burn the world and every motherfucker in it' kind of way.

And that is all balanced with the fact that, man, we didn't need another Winchester confessional by the car. That info could've handled a little more subtly, Jeremy. I know, I get it, you've got some really terrific actors so you want to make your puppets dance but less is more, really it is. So on the one hand my brain is all, "ALJKSADLKJSDFLJK *HULK SMASH* and on the other hand my brain is going, "Come on, you guys." Neither of which is a very satisfying reaction.

No wonder everyone's off writing Merlin fic or Avengers fic or bandom or whatever new shiny has piqued your fancy. Or coming up with ridiculous boy bands called 5x Everything. *coughs* Because baylorsr and I never come up with ridiculous, cracky ideas about anything. *coughs again* I fear I've said too much.

Though, if you're wondering, that's on top of the crack that had us both entranced at the beginning of December and to which we still pledge our souls. I swear, we need to stop eating lunch at Applebees, it only ever leads to utter ridiculosity. I'm surprised the Baylor Sister hasn't killed us in our sleep.

Anyway, there you go. Still love the boys. Still think the reason the show has found such a loyal audience is because it speaks to a lot of shared experiences that people in Gen XY have had. Still can't wait to see what happens next. I'm in it for the long haul, to the bitter end, even though it's going to break our hearts.

Man, I just thought about the end of Silver on the Tree and everyone losing their memories and now I think I really am going to cry. Why can't we ever keep the things we love? Why are we always evicted from Narnia again and again and again no matter how good we are? We do the best we can and it's never enough.

Yeah, I'm gonna be over there, trying not to lose it completely.
