A.K.A. The Last Episode Without Cas!

I don't actually have too many thoughts on this episode, so this'll be short.

Since Jared and Misha can do puppy eyes equally well, they now have a contest going on called "Who can play the dweebiest character ever" to figure out who gets to have the sex with Dean. Yes, I know everyone's anxious to see who wins.


This? Not very dweeby. guh.


Plus, he shakes it up too well. Even Dean thinks so.



I can't decide if he's just in denial about wanting a wife and kids or if he's really honestly changed his mind. If it's the latter, I'm kind of sad about it. On the other hand, it could just be that he'd be embarrassed if his kids looked like the Rugrats. I KNOW I WOULD BE.


Huge wild puppy is huge and wild and needs to be sedated via dart.


My, grandma, Gary, what large pecs you've got.


If being taken places by Cas gives Dean one week of constipation, being taken places by Sam probably gives him two. BUT HE ALLOWS IT ANYWAY. Awww. ♥


Bouncy cabbage is bouncy? Wtf. Why is there perfectly good cabbage in the garbage anyway, did Dean throw Sammy's cabbage away? :( (Yes, I realize I am completely missing the point of this scene.)


Sammy is unhappy about his cabbage and his asthma and about Dean ignoring his calls in favor of phone!sex with Cas.


I have a BSG t-shirt and I'm not a virgin. :P


This is the face of someone who expects to get it. In the face. Just sayin'.


Sammy got stabbed in The Plan, no wonder he doesn't like it.


Dean: There is something off about you but I can't quite put my finger on it because I'm too busy enjoying not having to strain my neck to look at you for once. Also, if only you knew Cas and I had sex to this song last night you wouldn't be so enthusiastic about it.


HEY. RON THIS KID WAS ALSO IN CAPRICA THIS WEEK. !! I love these bleed-overs in the cast.


The only reason Cas waits so long to kick Gary's ass is because he is very appreciative of Dean's during all this manual labor, trufax.


Dean: You're trying too hard at this dweeb thing, Sam. Cas, on the other hand, is a natural.


Huge wild puppy is still huge and wild.


I didn't really like the kid till this shot. XD


Oh, Dean. I know it was unrealistic of him to not catch on after two minutes of Gary!Sam, but I think he was blinded by things like Gary liking his music and food and drinking with him and being in a good mood. It was all of the things he wanted in a brother, so maybe he was just too surprised and grateful and in denial about Gary not being the real Sam. Plus, it's obvious that after the past year, Dean barely even knows Sam anymore. He doesn't know who Sam is, what he wants, was probably surprised to learn Sam's given up on his wife/rugrats dream, etc. But most of all, Dean was just too distracted daydreaming about Cas spread out naked in the backseat of the Impala.


She has no idea she's about to go all dominatrix on a minor. Just, ew. And poor Sammy might get an(other) STD. D:


Dear Jared, surprise is not contagious. But keep on looking surprised that there's a price on Dean's head, really.


Just in case they forgot what this spell was for. :D


This is oddly reminiscent of the Castiel/Meg scene. They've clearly been practicing on each other.


Creepy!Hermione is creepy. Also, this is kind of like drinking in front of an alcoholic, poor Sam. Also also, does this mean Cas tastes like dweeb? ♥


SAM CALLED 38 TIMES WHILE DEAN WAS PHONE!SEXING WITH CAS, LOLOL. That is a lot of phone!sex. *_*


I dunno how I feel about Lucifer being able to take Sam as a vessel just because Gary lets him. I mean, that just kind of cheapens everything. But whatever.

Dean has tasted Cas and decided he is dweebier than Sam. Now he just wants to be done with this stupid MotW so he and Cas can get on with having the sex. \o/


He's kind of cute for someone who just got his best friend skewered. I hope he's happy with his new girlfriend who has no reason at all to be traumatized by the day's events.


Cas: *MAKES IT RAIN ON DEAN*


Having parents is way more stressful than ending the world, trufax.


Dean wants an apple pie family life with Cas. With emphasis on apple pie. And even more emphasis on Cas.


THE END.

I actually enjoyed Caprica more than I enjoyed SPN this week, even though it certainly had its moments, mostly thanks to Jared. I enjoyed the 44 second preview clip of next week's SPN more than I enjoyed both combined. XD fkjlds;lfklsdjfklsdjfdlks FIVE MORE DAYS, YOU GUYS.

P.S. Thank you to misslucyjane for the succulent strawberry in my profile! ♥ I do so enjoy succulent things. Too bad Dean's already got a monopoly on succulent angels.

This is the face of someone who expects to get it. In the face. Just sayin'.

lol, ohhh my.

ALSO WHY ARE YOU CALLING THE GIRL HERMIONE AHAHA.

THAT'S LOTS OF PHONE!SEX. AND REGULAR SEX. GET IT DEAN~

also yeah i'm not sure if sam is really over the normal life thing. if he is, i'm sure it's more out of resignation than because he actually wants the life he currently has. idk.

but i <3'd him in this episode, i really did.

[tracy.livejournal.com]

COME ON SHE AND THE KID WHO DIED WERE TOTALLY HERMIONE AND RON TO GARY'S HARRY.

DEAN IS GETTING IT ALRIGHT, DON'T YOU WORRY.

He seems to be almost scornful of normal life now, what with the "trust me, we didn't miss anything." That worries me most, I think.

SO DID I. Why so enormous and cute, Sammy?

[mrstotten.livejournal.com]

I have to admit that this wasn't one of my favourite episodes. It felt like an ep that would have fit great back in season 2 or 3 but just felt off here. Although Dean being amazed and sort of happy about Sam drinking with him, and him thinking Sam must be drunk to tell him he is a good guy made me so sad :(

But next week CAS!!!!!!!!!!!! yayayayayayaya I've missed him so :(

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, when the boys said at a con that there would be more S1 and S2 type episodes this season, I didn't know they meant it quite so literally. :P And that made me sad too, in the same way that Sam not being able to tell Dean he loves him until he was completely doped up in the last episode made me sad.

IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE WE'VE SEEN CAS. :(

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Oh god there might be like 130 caps or something. D:

[hells-hikari.livejournal.com]

I can't say much about this episode either, because it was so average, but...

I enjoyed the 44 second preview clip of next week's SPN more than I enjoyed both combined. XD fkjlds;lfklsdjfklsdjfdlks FIVE MORE DAYS, YOU GUYS.
IKR?! (Okay, for me it's rather the last two episodes, because well, they weren't too bad, but those 44 seconds were everything I've missed for the last three months. And I've been waiting for such a scene since... 5.01, or even earlier.)

[tracy.livejournal.com]

I've been waiting for this scene since early last season. Dean saved Cas in Heaven and Hell, but I wanted to see him actually take care of Cas somehow! Ugh, I'm such a schmoop.

[tracy.livejournal.com]

SAME HERE. It has been sadly lacking lately.

Omg I know, he must've had so much fun with that scene and it really showed.

[missjigsaw23.livejournal.com]

Because the fact that this is the last episode without Cas is CLEARLY the most important thing =P

Was wondering when you'd get around to this. The fact that you bring Cas into them when he's not there makes the episodes better XD.

Although, I DID like the episode. I was a bit disappointed that Sam 'n Dean didn't swap (because to see their interpretations of the other's character would have been quite amusing, I think), but given the REASON for the swapping, there wasn't a place for that. Of course, now I need body-swap fic, featuring the boys, AND Cas, to make up for the lack of him in this episode.

As far as the vessel bit goes, I dunno that it would have worked. It's not as if they really got the chance to test it. Could be that if Gary had been taken to Lucy in Sam's body, and said yes, Lucifer still wouldn't have been able to possess him, because it wasn't HIS body to give up. The demons might have just THOUGHT it would work, and that all they needed was the body. If it was JUST the body that's needed for the vessel, you'd think the archangels could fashion themselves copies of Sam 'n Dean. We've seen from Gabriel that they can will just about anything into existence. Maybe part of their being vessels has to do with their souls, as much as their bodies.

...Or I could be wrong, and the writers didn't really think about it, they just threw that in there to add a little suspense to it, or something.

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Clearly. :D

Hahha I usually do the picspam the night the episode airs because the download is up fairly quickly, but it was hours late this week and I went to bed. And I enjoyed the ep, but I just wasn't as excited about it as most eps.

I don't think we're gonna get another body swap episode, sadly. But if we do, it would be hilarious to see Misha play either of the boys.

Excellent theory, I'm going to believe that to make myself feel better. :D That would've been really cool, actually, if they'd gone that far and Gary said yes but then it didn't work.

[vichan.livejournal.com]

If being taken places by Cas gives Dean one week of constipation, being taken places by Sam probably gives him two. BUT HE ALLOWS IT ANYWAY. Awww. ♥



Dean has tasted Cas and decided he is dweebier than Sam.
Goddamn it, as if I didn't have a bloodplay kink with them already. JERK.

I haven't watched Caprica yet. D: I also didn't finish The Plan. D: I should probably fix both of those things.

I WANT THURSDAY NOW.

[tracy.livejournal.com]

IT'S MY WAY OF ASKING WHY YOU HAVEN'T WRITTEN THE FIC YET. BITCH.

FIX BOTH IMMEDIATELY. It will help pass the time until Thursday!

[a-way-of-sin.livejournal.com]

My, grandma, Gary, what large pecs you've got.

oh my, brb laughing my ass of irl

Sam was all kinds of bitchface in this ep, I love it XD

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Sam totally saved this episode. :D

[tracy.livejournal.com]

♥!

It really helped that I already knew there wouldn't be any Cas going into the ep, unlike right after hiatus last year when I spent the first watch of every ep hoping he'd show up.

NEXT WEEK. \O/

[seraphim-grace.livejournal.com]

hmmm sam is there sometihng we should know
he calls gary a virgin for having a star wars tee but in the last ep he booked himself into a motel with ruby as Wedge Antilles, a pilot from said movie......
hypocrite much? because owning a tee is one thing, she says wearing her raccoon city police department one with the bloody handprint on the back - but sam has some serious fanboy issues if he hides under the name of the other pilot in star wars....

[missjigsaw23.livejournal.com]

*wearing her raccoon city police department one with the bloody handprint on the back*

...I want that shirt. Seriously, I would kill for that shirt. (and some of the RPD, and STARS patches...)

But yeah, way hypocritical of Sammy.

[harper47.livejournal.com]

I love the way you can make even this terribly average episode about Cas. Hee!

"But most of all, Dean was just too distracted daydreaming about Cas spread out naked in the backseat of the Impalala."

Works for me.

[tracy.livejournal.com]

I think it's natural for me to inject Cas into everything in my life. :D

[star-watcher81.livejournal.com]

I love how this recap was still all about Cas. Because the episode was basically just a placeholder for when he comes back. AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT. WEEEE NEXT WEEK.

[tracy.livejournal.com]

FOUR DAYS. FOUR DAYS!

[ibroketuesday.livejournal.com]

...Those kids were totally the evil versions of Ron, Hermione and Harry, omfg what.

[a-way-of-sin.livejournal.com]

lmfao

[direbanshee.livejournal.com]

i'll agree that this eppi wasn't the greatest but it's still hella better than the Paris Hilton one but excuse me while I flail maddly for Cas on Thursday and every ep for the rest of the season!!!!!!!!!!

[tracy.livejournal.com]

They'd better use him in all 17 episodes, anyway!

[starry-ice.livejournal.com]

And poor Sammy might get an(other) STD. D:

LOL! You know, as soon as she stepped out in that outfit and whip, I was like, "he's going to need testing for STIs again..."

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Poor Sam, all the unfortunate consequences of sex but none of the fun.

[squeemonster.livejournal.com]

Huge wild puppy is still huge and wild.

LOL, seriously, I think he'd need a horse tranq to take him down. Big boy is BIG.

Plus, it's obvious that after the past year, Dean barely even knows Sam anymore. He doesn't know who Sam is, what he wants, was probably surprised to learn Sam's given up on his wife/rugrats dream, etc.

This is so true, and it makes me so sad. And yet, I'm glad that they're showing them as still having huge issues to work through in their relationship--there's no way that being separated for 1 ep completely fixed everything that's wrong between them.

FIVE MORE DAYS, YOU GUYS.

I CANNOT WAIT, HOMG CAS BETTER BE IN IT FOR MORE THAN 5 SECONDS, IS ALL I'M SAYIN'. ALSO, WE ARE OWED EPIC EYE!SEXIN'.

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Hahha someone on my flist said, "remember when Sam could be strangled by a cord?" XD

This sort of issue is something I would've expected to come up earlier in the season, I dunno. It seems that if this season is supposed to be about them getting back together, they're going a little slow. Then again, now that season six is looking so likely, I guess they have more time to work on Sam'n'Dean.

I'M HOPING FOR MORE THAN TWO MINUTES. PLEASE, SHOW.

[k3lit0.livejournal.com]

"I enjoyed the 44 second preview clip of next week's SPN more than I enjoyed both combined. XD fkjlds;lfklsdjfklsdjfdlks FIVE MORE DAYS, YOU GUYS."

Ah.. so true. Did you see the promo clip? Was AMAZING. Shall not spoils for you all, but best start warming up the edge of your seat!


The Star Wars joke bugged me much. Sam used Wedge Antilles as his alias in s4e1, he is a fan! ;(

[tracy.livejournal.com]

I've seen all the clips that have been released, I think!

Hahha someone else also pointed that out. But maybe he got rid of his t-shirts after he got together with Jess?

[stephie-nhbg.livejournal.com]

Oh, Dean. I know it was unrealistic of him to not catch on after two minutes of Gary!Sam, but I think he was blinded by things like Gary liking his music and food and drinking with him and being in a good mood. It was all of the things he wanted in a brother, so maybe he was just too surprised and grateful and in denial about Gary not being the real Sam. Plus, it's obvious that after the past year, Dean barely even knows Sam anymore. He doesn't know who Sam is, what he wants, was probably surprised to learn Sam's given up on his wife/rugrats dream, etc. But most of all, Dean was just too distracted daydreaming about Cas spread out naked in the backseat of the Impala.

yes to all of this. SERIOUSLY. Did the second promo clip for next week make you go all, "I read this in a fanfic once, but Sam's not supposed to grope Cas, that's Dean's job." The writers clearly believe in fan-service. SERIOUSLY, I am so uber stoked to see this on my huge television, (thank you overpriced apartment complex).

also, on a completely unrelated note, I watched Legion, the whole time I wished with all my heart and soul for Castiel to be in it. It didn't happen but it did make me wish Supernatural had enough money to hire Paul Bettany as Michael, I'm afraid that I will be disappointed in Michael now.

ps: also, PHONE SEX, It's like we mind melded. every time they showed Sam leaving a message I thought the same thing. rofl.

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Well, they were both sort of groping him, so it was okay! It's actually nice to see Sam being concerned about Cas, I want them to be all BFF and gang up on Dean and <3333333333 YES.

I have not seen Legion yet. :( But I want to, if only because it's about angels!

*g* Every phone scene makes me think of phone!sex these days.

[cheerful-earl.livejournal.com]

Yay for this being the last episode without Cas!

Hermione! LOL

I am so looking forward to next week. I kind of think I watched that 44 second preview clip so many times that it equalled the viewing time I spent on Swap Meet (which I actually did like, or would have liked more had it been two seasons ago).

[tracy.livejournal.com]

ME TOO. The last half of that clip, anyway. So many times my mother snapped at me for it. XD

[jenks1983.livejournal.com]

Oh God.. i miss Cass! >.

[tracy.livejournal.com]

You are not alone. :(

[a-taller-tale.livejournal.com]

Just in case they forgot what this spell was for. :D

I think I enjoyed your screen caps and comments more than I really enjoyed the episode. Wouldn't it have been more interesting if Sam switched with a woman? (Potentially awkward!) Or Dean switched with Castiel for some random half baked reason? (:D!) But I guess they tried to connect it to the main plot a little, what with the non-voting satanists trying to kill Dean. And some of Sam's expressions made me smile.

I hope he's happy with his new girlfriend who has no reason at all to be traumatized by the day's events.

This had me laughing out loud because she was huddled under a blanket rocking back and forth while Sam and kid were switching back. Then Sam takes kid aside and says, "She doesn't like witchcraft Gary, she likes you." Urrr.. Shouldn't you be using the past tense Sammy? Pretty sure all she's going to be thinking about for the rest of her life is how she drank her friend's blood.

Another case closed! Let's leave these psychologically damaged kids in the dust and find Cas!

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Hahha, glad to provide some amusement! Omg I would kill for a Dean/Castiel switch, SO MUCH FUN. And I think the Sam/woman switch would have worked just as well as the Sam/Gary switch for this episode.

Actually she didn't look too traumatized, just kind of cold in the rain? I think she was actually sort of smiling.

YES, CAS PLZ.

[bindaroonie.livejournal.com]

I really, really didn't like this one. I wanted to punch Gary in the vagina from the minute he stepped on screen. McLovin? More like McLame-o.
His selfishness got his friend killed AND he had the hide to crash the Metallicar. Some sins are just unforgivable! But he got the girl and waltzed off scott-free in the end. Blah.

It's no coincidence that the weakest episodes this season have been the ones without Cas. I am hearing next week is being touted as one of the best episodes of the season, and I can't wait.

(Also 'Sam's gonna-get-it face' is the funniest thing I've seen all day!)

[tracy.livejournal.com]

I didn't like him until he was talking about having a gun, then I just started laughing. But seriously, I also wish he'd had to face some consequences. Or at least ACKNOWLEDGED that his best friend had died. But I guess there wasn't enough time for that.

IT WILL BE ONE OF THE BEST. PROBABLY THE BEST SINCE 5X04. CANNOT WAIT.

[ran-cl.livejournal.com]

I like Creepy!Hermione <3

The last description of the last cap <3 Apple pie >> Cas for Dean , TRUFAX ;P

It's sad , Gary threw away all of Dean's cells , how on earth can Cas call Dean ever again? wait Dean must have a secret hidden phone reserved only for Phone!sex with Cas

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Me too! She was awesome.

Nooo. When the apple pie is gone, Cas will still be there!

He keeps it in his pants at all times. On vibrate. I'm just sad he threw away John's phone. :(

[stubbel.livejournal.com]

Creepy!Hermione is creepy.
MY THOUGHTS! XDD

Cas, Cas, Cas, Cas, Cas, Cas...

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Cas, Cas, Cas, Cas, Cas, Cas...

And those are mine. :D

[love-jackianto.livejournal.com]

'A.K.A. The Last Episode Without Cas!'
I know! Please let him have some kind interaction with Sam.

[tracy.livejournal.com]

There will be! Have you seen the preview clip?
