trinityofoneThings what are awesome:
1. Cas! Cas Cas Cas Caaaaaaaaaaas. That played out just as I could have wished. They drew out the tension really well, and Dean and Cas did their WE STARE AT EACH OTHER A LOT TO SHOW WE ARE MANLY/ANGELIC AND DON'T EXPRESS OUR EMOTIONS BUT REALLY IT MAKES IT SEEM LIKE WE ARE IN LOVE thing and Cas pushed Dean up against the wall and painted the symbols in HIS OWN BLOOD (okay, Jimmy's) and just—YES. Thank you. Yes.
Now let's totally have the season where they're all on the run from the guys upstairs and downstairs and it's Angels & Demons vs. Team Humanity. And hey, mad props to everyone who realized it was the Good Omens storyline. IT TOTALLY IS.
2. Dean. Dean in the green room. Breaking the statuary and generally being an ass. I love you.
3. Bobby: "You're a better man than your father ever was." JESUS CHRIST THANK YOU.
4. Chuck! Who isn't touched by an angel, he touches them.
5. The story I finished a draft of today? Totally not Jossed, hurrah!
6. I have cherry pie. COME ON THAT IS TOTALLY RELEVANT. Kinda.
Things that make me sadface:
1. Ruby. I may be in the minority, but I really liked Ruby. And I loved the idea of the story where she really wants the best thing for Sam, but because of her nature or because of outside factors conspiring against her, it gets all fucked up anyway. The story where she makes all the wrong decisions, but for the right reasons. Isn't that wonderful and tragic? But, you know, with a possibility of redemption at the end? AND ALSO MAYBE IT COULD HAVE BEEN A WAY TO HAVE A FEMALE CHARACTER ON THE SHOW WHO DOESN'T DIE OR DISAPPEAR OR GO EVIL (OR ALL THREE)? JUST MAYBE?
*deep breath* Okay, let it go, Trin. But ANYWAY, now I really do need to write the story where Mary comes back and kicks a lot of ass and fixes everything, because SERIOUSLY. COME ON.
[/mild feminist rage]
And also now I do not think I will be able to write the sequel to Quarters that I kind of had an idea for. An idea and a really funny joke about Barry Manilow! Damn you, Kripke.
2. That other story that I wrote a couple weeks ago but never got around to editing/posting? THAT one got totally Jossed. Damn again. *shakes fist*
Things what were meh:
1. The actual ending. I feel like they could have given us something a little more exciting that an underworld light show. I've probably watched too much Buffy, because I feel like the bigger the laser intro, the smaller the main event. With that as the last shot, part of my brain is kind of expecting the opening scene of the season 5 premiere to go like this:
Bright light erupts from the depths of hell. SAM and DEAN brace themselves for what's to come. CASTIEL and CHUCK arrive, but it's too late! LUCIFER emerges!
Pull back to reveal that Lucifer is the size of a Ken doll.
Sam: This is Lucifer?
Dean: Big overture. Liiittle show.
Lucifer (squeaky voiced): I am the dark lord of nightmares! The bringer of terror! Tremble before me. Fear me!
Chuck: He – he’s so cute!
Lucifer: Tremble!
Dean (mocking): Who’s a little Lucifer? Come on! Who’s a little adversary!
Castiel: Don’t taunt the angel of the bottomless pit.
Dean: Why, can he hurt me?
Castiel: No, it’s just – tacky.
And SCENE.
And, okay, I wanted something that was an awesome jumping off point for epic summer fic. This really wasn't it.
Not that that'll stop us or anything. ;-)
Questions:
1. So was Anna killed, or just captured? I hope it's just the latter.We need one awesome female character still on the show for christsake.
2. There are going to be more consequences for Sam, right? I mean, all love to Sammy, but dude deserves more consequences.
3. So the whole "Castiel puts the whammy on Dean" thing was just a teaser red herring! Does that mean Dean's pledge was really just nonbinding and symbolic? Man, Heaven can be just as lame and impotent as the U.S. Senate. I kind of still hope there's more to it than that.
4. Dean and Castiel want to make out so bad, don't they?
That last one was rhetorical.
So, in conclusion: that was not as awesome as the rest of the season has been in general, but when it came to the storyline that meant the most to me, they delivered. Cas! Dean! Caaaaaaaaaas! *heart*
So I'm just going to sit here eating my pie and picturing them making out in my head and that's basically my plan until September. Who's with me?
