roxyI'm so happy. This season warms the cockles of my heart. I almost shed a tear for poor little Sammy. I think Show was trying hard to mislead us tonight. I've kind of been thinking in a roundabout way that Sam's been living in a fantasy with this Amelia thing. They kept dropping what normally I'd interpret as anvils, little anvilettes all ep long--but when Amelia got the news that Don was still alive I went all O.O
And now I know, we *are* in a soap opera! I knew it! All those flashbacks, that filmy camera work designed to hide wrinkles, that feisty girl and the way she browbeat Sam into taking a dog when she had no idea if he was a drifter and/or animal abuser...it all makes sense now! So, Don's been in a coma, woke up and had no idea who he was. He had a picture of Amelia but no name to go by. But a nurse in the hospital, let's call her Janet, sees the picture and promises John (John Doe, because, y'know, amnesia) that she'll do all she can to find this girl who may hold the secret to his identity. So she begins to hunt for her, even though it breaks Janet's heart because she's come to care deeply for this strong, silent, probably handsome man. And then one night--success. "John," she says, "this woman is your wife, she's Amelia what the fuck ever i never caught her last name."
John gasps, swats, hits his head on a bedpan and suddenly he knows, "I'm Don! Don what the fuck ever! I must go to her, call her, and let her know I'm still alive and...Don stops and stares at Janet. Because yes, he loves Amelia, with all his heart, but he remembers how he's come to love Janet, her caring sweet nature, her devotion, her willingness to give him back to his wife because she loves him that much...Don looks up at her and says, "So, whataya think, one quick fuck I can blame on the amnesia?"
Or something like that.
Seriously though, Cas and Dean…*happysigh*
And even though Sam and Dean have this big thing between them, it's freaky how they mirror each other. The make the same faces, they make the same gestures…it makes me wonder if it's on purpose or whether Jared is picking up Jensen's acting tics. Not complaining because I like it very much. Makes them look more brotherly. And speaking of Dean (of course we were, you just didn't notice) compared to other seasons, he's creepily healthy! Willing to talk, make eye-contact…if fucking Benny fucks it up, I hope Sam cuts his head off and turns his fucking ass into mincemeat. Just sayin'

11/29/12 04:39 am (UTC)Now Dean and Cas ... that I can deal with, although I'm so worried about Cas getting used by a weirdly creepy version of Amanda Tapping. I do like, though, that Dean seems to have grown up in some ways. He actually goes over and sits down to talk to Cas. And they both looked reluctant to let it go when Sam interrupted. What I like about Dean/Cas (and what I missed) is that Cas gives Dean someone he doesn't have to take care of. He'll always feel responsible for Sam and responsible to Bobby and responsible for pretty much everyone he comes in contact with. And sure, sometimes he likes to blame himself for Cas, but Cas doesn't expect that and never has. He's the only one who keeps telling Dean he doesn't have to take care of him, take the blame for him, or the responsibility for what Cas chooses. It's friendship and it works, and sometimes it's the one bright spot I see for Dean (and that's not just 'cause I'm a shipper.)
Anyway, I hope Cas isn't absent for too much of the season. The moments with him and Dean make me smile.

11/29/12 05:02 am (UTC)So far, Purgatory seems to have been good for Dean, a little better than Sam's ideal life at any rate. :)

11/29/12 05:03 am (UTC)And yeah, Dean's whole 'talk to me, Cas' thing was... so unlike him. I found it a little weird and off-putting. But so super cute and it made me happy, even though I wish Dean would actually talk to SAM once in a while, too...
Heh, and dude, fucking Benny could only be good for Dean :)
(no subject)
11/29/12 05:14 am (UTC)AHAHAHA!!! I hadn't meant that literally but I'm on board for Benny fucking if it helps Dean. Certainly not because I'm helplessly into Dean/OMC because that would be selfish on my part. *koff*

11/29/12 05:19 am (UTC)I'm positive he's going to sink again, and I'm not happy about that because I do think the show could be amazing and fun (like now!) without Dean staggering around the landscape under the weight of everyone's unhappiness and guilt and his certainty that it's all his fault.
(no subject)
11/29/12 09:16 am (UTC)I ship Sam/Castiel (there I go with the sacrilege again) so I did notice a few things I could nibble on in that sense, which was just more fun for me. I did also find the, "Talk to me, Cas" thing a bit... weird and not Dean-like. That said, I kind of liked it and um... There were a couple of other things I liked, but won't go into because there's a lot of "I may end up stoned to death" background to go over as well.
Sam's hazy flashbacks--I am VERY INTERESTED in that storyline. I'm hella invested in Sam, yes, yes, I know--but there is so much going on there. More than the flashbacks, what's catching my attention is how he's zoning out in real-time. It's like he simply... is... not... there. He visibly shakes himself back to reality; so delusion, fantasy or just unhealthily obsessive about that relationship... I say Sammy's got some kind of serious problem (and why wouldn't he? the man is bound to have more than a few screws loose and/or missing by now). Poor Sam. I always feel so bad for him when it comes to that stuff. Maybe one day I really will write an essay and call it My Thoughts on Sam Winchester. Because that's an original title.
Castiel was so just... *smish* Loved him this episode. And Amanda Tapping--she does vaguely creepy and malicious very well; there's a subtlety there that I find deliciously intriguing.
Oh! Oh! Oh! And Mike Farrell! Why has no one talked about how awesome his tiny little roll was? WHY? I love that guy, always have, ever since M*A*S*H reruns as a kid. And so much to think about as far as backstory on the Winchesters with that dude goes and then... then... Some of the stuff Sam said (while with Castiel, I will point out) were really... let's say... interesting.
Fun, fun, fun episode overall; I loved it.

11/29/12 06:44 pm (UTC)It's not sacrilege if it's true!
I liked the' talk to me' bit and took that as a hopeful sign that Dean's matured--and if not, then it's probably a sign of trench mentality. He's gone through things with Cas that he hasn't with anyone one else except Benny.
Sam is worrying me more and more. I'm worried that what happened to him was an illusion. So far, from what I've seen he does normal life a little better than Dean. He looks happier than Dean did. He's a very resilient man, that Sam.
Mike Farrell, I know!!! I was thrilled, I love him too. And I watched it in the original showing, so you know, he had twin my heart from Hawkeye and I was sure he wouldn't and then he turned out so *awesome*! so you know what this means? I'm so fuckin' OLD, lol!!! I had a crush on he guy...he was so sweet. :)
So tell me stuff, I wanna know what you're thinking! :)

11/30/12 04:39 am (UTC)Gah, Sam and his delusions.... man alive. I LOVE THAT SHIT even though it makes me a sad kitten. I have part of a fic written that's all about Sam's mental breakdown post-Dean disappearing. Then I lost the thread of it and now it's just... sitting... there. Which really annoys me because this is like the excuse I've needed to write that fic since S1. Now that it's been handed to me on a silver platter... I just stare at it and imagine the possibilities. For I am Lame-o, the lamest writer ever! Such massive fail on my part. Seriously, I am mad at myself about this.
I will write you things, m'dear, I promies. I will write them and then deliver them to an f-locked post and you can read 'til your heart's content. Then we can discuss more because if the length of this reply is not indication enough then just let me say: I rather enjoy discussing things.
(no subject)
11/30/12 05:15 am (UTC)I enjoyed your reply!
I get losing the thread of things--like my reply to your scary story, my bit just stalled out. Like a couple of fics that wave at me when I walk past the laptop, whispering my name but not helping out more than that...
I have this thing for loving but fucked up Sam/Cas. If that makes sense. I like difficult times and situations but respect at the bottom of it, even if they don't know it.
Ooooh, write me things! I like it! :)
(no subject)
11/30/12 06:31 am (UTC)Ugh, the fic I cannot seem to get in order is always whispering at me when I'm idle. I have such great images in my head and--I think--good ideas. Then I put them down on the page and all I can say is, "What the fuck is this shit? Because it's awful." It's... I know what I want to write, but when I write it... wow, it so isn't what I want. :|
Things, yes. Soonishly, you shall have things.

11/29/12 01:23 pm (UTC)Oh, my. Now i'm even *more* glad i never watched soaps. :)
Oooh, loved this ep, so much *fun*, and this season, and the boys and Castiel and just...all of it! Everything!!!
*what. i'm tired. need to go back to bed!!*

11/29/12 06:33 pm (UTC)I agree with you one hundred percent! All of it! Everything! :)

11/29/12 08:58 pm (UTC)I actually kind of liked Cas in this, though it did bother me that he didn't want to go back to heaven because he couldn't face the angels and what he did to them, yet he's happy to hang around with Sam all the time. I am evidently much less forgiving than Sam and Dean.
Also, your mini-fic is amazing. I want to know what happens to the sad tragic love of Janet and Don <3
(no subject)
11/30/12 01:59 am (UTC)LOL! Ah, Janet and Don, star-crossed lovers, will they find happiness? Tune in next week to see...*G*
(no subject)
11/29/12 09:03 pm (UTC)This season has made me very happy, especially now that the pieces are coming together. Didn't expect the thing with Amelia to implode this quickly, to be honest, but I'll be happy the flashbacks end because they're quite distracting. And I'm a Dean-girl so, yeah, having him be not so much of a broken shell for a change is a bonus.
(no subject)
11/30/12 02:12 am (UTC)I didn't expect to see Amelia blow up yet either but it makes me think that this is really just the beginning of their story. I'm wondering if they're waiting so see if fandom can adapt to a girl in their lives. I know they tanked Dean's lovelife but Sam's a different story. Plus, yeah, I'm ready for Sam's flashbacks to stop. And Dean's to take over. *koff*
As the world turns, Janet and Don get restless but no younger....*GGG*

Makes them look more brotherly
I love when they do that too.
Also loved Cas investigating Dean's cosmetic bag and the whole "oh, I'll just stand here and stare at you sleeping" thing.

12/1/12 12:49 am (UTC)Sam's flashbacks have seemed a little off to me from the jump. The birthday scene was so dreamy and romanticised. Besides the fact that in real life the logistics of pulling something like that off are mind blowing (really, how long would it take you to train the dog to lead him to that exact spot) the implication that Dean didn't celebrate Sam's birthday is absurd, not to mention the fact that Jessica seemed like a homemade cake and surprise party kind of girl. Then Sam and Amelia just happen to be at the same hotel and her sink just happens to get clogged and the dog just happens to run into her room. That's an awful lot of coincidences. I know,I know this is tv and stuff like this happens on tv all of the time, but the dinner scene with her dad was so off putting that it has to mean something. When Sam kissed her and called her baby it seemed so awkward. The only time he seemed like himself was when he talked about his dad or Dean.
Anyhoo, I have to say that my love for Dean has been rekindled. He's so much hotter without all of the guilt he's been carrying around for the last 4 seasons weighing him down. I like it when the brothers are in sync.
I hope next week isn't the end of Benny. My greatest fear is that Dean has to kill Benny to save Sam. I know this is inevitable but couldn't they give us just a tiny Dean/Benny flashback. I might be able to forgive the killing Benny if I had that to keep me warm.
Okay, I'll shut up now.

9/22/14 12:57 am (UTC)So! If this season keeps it up, I might just like it as much as last season! This was an AMAZING episode! So clever. So well-photographed (Sam and Cas out in the Roadrunner desert!). Love. Cas interrogating the cat (ha!); Cas trying to get shotgun in the Impala (ha!); Dean and Cas having serious talk... Love it.
I don't know about this Amelia thing. I never considered that it might not be real until I read these comments. I'm still thinking it was real and that it was JUST THAT AWFUL. Poor darling Sammy. :(
Okay. Time for the next ep. Benny!!! \o/

9/22/14 02:10 am (UTC)I KNOW! It was like a festival of "holy shit!"s over in the Silsbee residence. I could not believe Dean did that! Poor Sammy!
I was kinda pissed that they put the Benny on the back burner (so to speak) and then went into a Castiel storyline for this next ep. I need to know what is going to happen!! On the other hand, I love Salami or Salamalanka or Salamandriel very much (so adorable) and want Crowley to stop hurting him, so... I hope they can rescue him!! *bites nails* OMG I NEED A WEEK OFF TO JUST WATCH ALLLLLL OF THIS.
