DEAN GAVE CAS HIS NECKLACE. HE GAVE CAS. HIS NECKLACE. WHICH FINDS GOD. WHICH I TOTALLY HAVE A REPLICA OF THAT I WEAR EVERY DAY. AASKJFHKAJSGFK.

I am sorry. I am not over this and am unlikely to be over it any time soon. DEAN GAVE CAS HIS NECKLACE. That is on so many levels freaky symbolic that I don't even know where to start. Jesus Christ.

You know, before the episode aired, aesc and I were talking about our insane shippery wishes (one of which was Castiel in the Impala, which it looks like we get next week, yay!) and this was nowhere NEAR the list, I think because we couldn't even CONCEIVE of it happening. The closest I could get was the image of the necklace and a vial containing Cas' grace both being worn together, tangling with each other when Dean moved—and I actually still like that better, as there's none of the feeling of Sam being replaced. Which I don't think he is/will be long-term, but especially considering where this episode ended up, and what next week seems like it will be, WOW.

ETA: AND HE DID IT BECAUSE OF DEAN. I almost forgot my keyboard mashiness over that, in part because I got spoiled for it...yesterday or whenever with the Space promo appeared, and in part because of NECKLACE. I need to rewatch that scene um, several times, and maybe eventually I will be able to say something intelligent.

I actually don't have a lot to say about the rest of the episode. I thought it was fun, I thought Ellen was AWESOME, I wish Jo had been in it more (because I've always REALLY LIKED JO, darn all you haters!), and I was vastly relieved that Ellen and Jo and Rufus all survived. That was my big worry, so I'm just very :D that I don't have to be furious at the show for killing every cool female character ever them.

Though Kripke and Co. kind of do owe Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, like, a fruit basket at the very least. I liked the Good Omens-y vibe at the end of last season (Team Humanity vs. both Heaven and Hell!), and I still like it here, just. The red car and everything? Though GO's War could totally kick this War's ass. Just sayin'.

Random:

1. The sigils Cas carved into their ribs look AWESOME. Forget the tattoo (actually, don't forget the tat, it rocks), I want THAT.
2. "God is not on any flatbread." AHAHAHAHA. Oh, Cas. NEVER CHANGE.
3. That was totally the scene where Jared kept grabbing Misha's ass, wasn't it?
4. Oh, Dean and your Lord of the Rings references. You are such a dork. Don't even try to pretend you aren't. Your Team Geek tee will arrive in the mail shortly.
5. DEAN GAVE CAS HIS NECKLACE FOR SERIOUS. If Cas shows up wearing it at any point, I may actually die.

REALLY IMPORTANT ETA2: WAS CAS RESURRECTED WITH A DIFFERENT TIE? Like, it looks black to me now instead of blue. Or is my TV just screwy? I LIKE THE VAGUELY RIDICULOUS BLUE TIE!

Okay, off to eat celebratory Winchesternalia kogi. (We already had pie.)

HE NEEDS TO BE WEARING IT NEXT WEEK, I SWEAR TO GOD, I WILL DIE. THAT SCENE WAS SO MUCH EPIC GLEE, AND HE WAS BEING ALL BAMF AND HOTASS AND BITCHY AGAIN AND SMACKING DEAN DOWN AND YET HE DID IT ALL FOR DEEEEEEEAN. I was seriously having palpitations.

BUT NEXT WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK, OMG, I CANNOT EVEN WAIT. I NEED THEM BURNING PEOPLE AND RIDING AROUND BEING BADASS CRIMEFIGHTERS TOGETHER SO FRICKING BAD. SO OTP.

I LOVE JO! SHE IS AWESOME!

Oh good, someone else spotted the huge GO-but-not-nearly-as-awesome vibe. I whinged in my own spoiler post about how War better fucking possess a redhaired woman at some point, ffs.

I've seen at least three posts of people upset that Dean gave Castiel that necklace. Yeah, let's totally not give the angel out looking for God the one item that can find the dude, sure. :ROLLS EYES DRAMATICALLY, OH SPN:

If Castiel ends up wearing the necklace, I will choke. They're already REALLY PUSHING the UST.

I think the necklace suddenly turning out to be some kind of God EMF is ridiculous (especially on the tail of last week's "Dean is a sword"), so my guess is that it's probably a lie on Castiel's part, and he's testing Dean. "Give it to me," he demanded (when has he ever asked Dean for anything, that wasn't on Heaven's behalf?), and Dean folded, perhaps to even Castiel's surprise.

gah, I know, right? I get all melty every time I think of that scene. (And a wee bit heartbroken, but in a good way, you know?)

Yours is the first review I've checked on this morning, because I wanted Cas!Dean! squee (and not the inevitable Sam/Dean wank I know I'm going to find elsewhere - c'mon people, can't we just all get along?).

So! Yes to ALL this!

And bonus points for the Jo Ellen love. I wish we could see more of them - I hope we do.

STILL FLAILING.

That is all.

[anniehow.livejournal.com]

No, no, it's the same tie! it's just the lighting! Bad lighting!! I refuse any other explanation!


Also: no wimpy friendship bracelets for those two! Straight to the good stuff!

Alos Also: I ♥ Jo from the start, and through all the times I saw her! Nearly thought I was the only one!
