Hey gang. In the face of all the paranoia going around, I just want to say that I love you guys, and what's more, I trust you guys. I don't think I'm being naive in that. So, no friends cut here. Of course I completely understand why a lot of you are doing it, but it seems you're all defriending people you've had little interaction with, and to be honest, I can't think that the anonymous fuckwit in question is someone who had little interaction with his/her victim. Little interaction doesn't breed petty bitterness like that. And that's.. all I'm going to say on that.

Now onto much happier things.

I adored tonight's episode despite the lack of Cas once again. (I'm coping with that, though, see? In fact I sort of can't stop coping, mmm... who wants to slide those down just a littttle bit more and lick that dip between his hipbone and his.. ohgod. Have I mentioned that I think sharp hipbones are really fucking hot? I think sharp hipbones are really fucking hot. as is Misha's belly and Misha's everything else...)

Uhm, episode review, right. Sam'n'Dean! God, yes, they're the reason I love this episode. They're what's been missing this whole season, that Sam'n'Dean-ness. It's not quite the same as it was before, but it was close enough to remind me of all the reasons I fell in love with this show about two brothers way back in season 1. Oh, boys. talking to each other and bantering and cracking jokes at Sammy's (he called him 'Sammy'!) expense and hunting together and being together. I mean, Sam kind of ruined that warm fuzzy feeling in the end, but his reasons make me ache enough that I can't help but love him even more. I hope the Sam!girls are happy with this ep.

I can't decide if I like the foreshadowy "Charlie was like my brother and now he's dead because I did the right thing" or think it's overdone, but. I'm so scared for Sam'n'Dean and Sam going down that path again because he wants to grow old with Dean and show his big brother that not all things end bloody or sad. and I'm even more scared for Dean and the choices he might have to make when Sammy and right are no longer synonymous. Please please please let Castiel make things better. :( I know over half the seals are broken and he must be busy fighting, but he's needed here just as badly if not more. by Dean's side. Especially since it looks like that tentative grip on Sammy that Dean has been trying so hard to get back is going to start slipping again, fast. D: Sam's not the only one who can make Dean believe that good things can happen!

And I hope they do happen. I mean, there's no way these boys are going to end up conventionally happy with wife and kids and puppies and shit, but I don't think ending the series with Sam'n'Dean alive and together in some capacity is impossible.. and maybe Dean can have his puppy, actually, in the form of an enormous little bro with floppy hair. Maybe if he wants two puppies he can have an angelic one, too, with big blue eyes. <3

Naturally I enjoyed the shit out of that scene from the promo even more in context, lol. Or maybe it wasn't the context so much as the higher quality visuals of Jensen's face in it, covering my computer screen. XD

Speaking of Jensen's face, this shot literally made my breath catch and I had to pause and rewatch for several minutes before I could even continue:



If there's anyone in the world who thinks there's ever been a creature more gorgeous than this man, well. They're wrong.

I think this might be my least favorite episode so far this season, but then I pretty much loved last week's and a lot of people hated it. I am interested to find out just what Sam and Ruby are possibly planning.

and I have no idea what is going on. Is there some LJ wank I'm missing out on? :)

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Awww, why didn't you like it? :( Actually I loved last week's ep too, heh. I think I'm just so excited about this entire season that I'd love almost anything they put out.

LJ wank taken way, way too far.

[crystalchain.livejournal.com]

Sorry sweetie but I CANNOT read your review when you put a picture of half!naked Misha anywhere NEAR it. JESUS DAMN *dies* the things I wanna do to him... mmh yes please *stares some more* where were we? RIGHT, the review lol

"Charlie was like my brother and now he's dead because I did the right thing." -I cannot stop but think that it's some kind of cryptic message from Kripke but then again I'm paranoid when it comes to Kripke and his cryptic messages and I'm probably reading way too much into stuff like that... right? Right.

If there's anyone in the world who thinks there's ever been a creature more gorgeous than this man, well. They're wrong. -well, AMEN to that ♥

Also? The lack of Castiel is eating me up inside *cries*

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Heh, I am so impressed you actually read any of that, I very nearly couldn't write it. :)) (And then again while replying to this comment, because I keep scrolling up and sort of getting stuck there..)

I am also paranoid about Kripke's cryptic (Kriptic?) messages and reading just as much into it as you are, which makes me a terrible person to ask. D:

I KNOW. D: I keep trying to console myself with Sera's interview and answers to fans' questions, but those can only go so far. *cries too* D: D: D:

[jeebs83.livejournal.com]

What's really funny is that one of my best friends dated Cris Angel, and he really IS a Douche Bag. Seriously. lol

[tracy.livejournal.com]

LOL. After looking up pictures of him, that somehow doesn't surprise me. :))

[vyrantium.livejournal.com]

Wow, I missed the wank O_O What's going on? Was someone threatening someone? I'm kind of glad I don't seem to wander into these wank fests :P

I LOVE that shot of Misha... *purrs* Those pants SO want to fall off. I was secretly praying they would that whole time xD I really want Cas back, but I'm assuming we'll have to wait a couple more episodes at least :(

I know what you mean about the foreshadowing too... I totally called that on my journal a couple hours back too :/ I have this terrible image in my mind of Sam going DARK dark side... like beyond even Dean's saving... and then Dean being left in the same position that Jay was in. I honestly can't see Dean killing Sam even if he was Lucifer incarnate or whatever I'm dreading. At the same time though he has this hang-up now that he became a monster in hell to where every life not saved is that much worse to him now. I don't think he could go WITH Sam for that reason, but I also don't think he'd be able to kill him... like I said in my journal, I can totally see him being left to choose and he chooses to just let Sam kill him. Then when he turns his head and closes his eyes to say goodbye Cas flashes in and finishes the job, wiping out Sam :( *wipes weepy tears away*

That said... wasn't a HUGE fan of the episode really. I thought it was good, but not the best. Better than last week though. I really hate those "omg it's not a ghost it's a human" episodes. I hated The Benders from season 1 too :P But I loved the title for sure and I'm shocked they got away with it xD And then Jensen eye candy? O_O

As I've said before... I'm pretty sure it should be completely IMPOSSIBLE to be as gorgeous as Jensen Ackles. Sometimes I doubt that he actually exists xD He's just too... perfect. I mean, Jared is hot... don't get me wrong. But Jensen? O_O He's just a whole other level of beautiful *nods*

[tracy.livejournal.com]

I haven't wandered into it myself, but so many people on my flist are posting about it that I think I've gotten the gist. which is some stupid fuck outed someone out to her RL friends and family about reading/writing slash.

God, I know, I think I choked a little the first time I saw that scene. many times over. I just hope that if there's some sort of Feb/March hiatus which I've been hearing rumors of, we get to see Castiel before that. I don't even know how I would survive another drought otherwise. D:

Haven't gotten a chance to read everyone else's reviews yet, but I will soon! That's always my favourite part of Thursday nights post-ep, heee. Oh my god, I don't even want to think about that. *cries a little* I wonder, though, if at that point Dean will decide that it's best for Sammy to die rather than to continue being what he's become. I mean, he would do anything for his Sammy, so if he thinks killing him is really the most merciful option... D: Either way, the real killer will be the fact that like Charlie, Sam will still love Dean no matter how dark he gets. It would be easier, somehow, if he lost that bit of himself, but I don't think it's possible.

Even more impossible than Jensen's existence! Which, as we've established, is saying a lot. XD

As for last week's ep.. I appreciated it for the insights we got into Dean rather than for the monster-humans.

[nicocoer.livejournal.com]

Wait there's wank on LJ? XD

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Imagine that. :P

[writingpathways.livejournal.com]

Guh. Misha. Where is that from? And duh Jensen is too beautiful for words, really, I expect someday to die from the pretty.

[tracy.livejournal.com]

It's from one of his E.R. episodes! Honestly I'm surprised I'm still alive today after having witnessed Jensen. At the very least my eyes should be burnt out of my skull or something.

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

I've only just found out what happened in fandom, though I completely agree with you. While I do understand the certain amounts of displeased people about the issue, defriending those who you have limited contact with isn't what happened. I'm quite certain that whatever prompted this particular outting was between two people who were either close or had been close for some time (because how else would someone give personal and private information to their friends/family without their consent?) As a whole, the entire situation is very sickening and it makes my blood boil someone would do something like that for no reason other than spite.

ILU too, bb. I would never compromise the friendships I've made here, as I have the same trust and faith for many on my flist. Even though yes, there are individuals I talk with more than others, sometimes not at all, I love everyone and would never do anything to hurt them. ♥ ♥ ♥

OMG HAI THAR MISH MISH! MMMM, HIPBONE. I JUST...YEAH, IDEK. INSERT INCOHERENT THOUGHTS HERE WHILE I GO BE IN MY BUNK NOW.... :D :D :D

I really enjoyed this episode, too. I did like the brotherly togetherness that has been kind of lacking in recent episodes, but I also like those scattered moments with either one of them too. Sam and Dean are on separate pathways (which will eventually lead to the same place, a.k.a. the Apocalypse). We see them dealing with their situations differently, and yes the ending with Sam ended that little brotherly time. But I find it interesting, all of it.

I'm so scared for Sam'n'Dean and Sam going down that path again because he wants to grow old with Dean and show his big brother that not all things end bloody or sad. and I'm even more scared for Dean and the choices he might have to make when Sammy and right are no longer synonymous

Yes, totally and definitely. Going back to the foreshadowing, although I kind of knew they were headed down this road anyway, this is what I've been waiting to happen, at least we see a fraction of Sam's decision to go against Dean's wishes with his psychic abilities. Surely he believes he's doing it for the greater good, but he's definitely treading on a thin line that is being blurred constantly. Castiel wasn't wrong when saying Dean would have to make harder decisions, and although we knew this already seeing that Sam is consciously making such a choice is going to have Dean torn between saving Sam or saving the world if, push comes to shove, he just might have too.

I do like that they actually talked about their futures in this episode, though it's sad. Sam's hopefulness means well but he thinks he can solve all of their problems by offing Lilith, which is unrealistic. Dean knows that even with saving people and hunting, there will always be supernatural things to defeat. Evil will always be there, no matter what.

I'm quite anxious to see how all this turns out, because I have my ideas and hopeful wishes on how I would like for everything to happen, but it all depends on whether they are going in that direction. But yes, I want Castiel to join with Dean because, despite everything with the war, Dean needs him at this time. but that could just be my Dean/Castiel fangirling showing, haha

Pretty Jensen face is pretty. ;D

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Exactly. They must have been close at one point, or at least had very, very close mutual friends. I like to think no one on my flist would be that maliciously petty even if I did piss them off somehow, but in any case I'm pretty sure I haven't pissed anyone off. Especially the people I've been talking to the most lately. :) ♥

HAH EVERY TIME THAT PICTURE IS MENTIONED IN A COMMENT I HAVE TO GO STARE AT IT SOME MORE, SO REPYING TO COMMENTS TAKES FOREVER.

Yeah, that too, about the scattered moments of just Dean or just Sam in between coming together to be brotherly. That's what makes them such an awesome team, their differences complementing each other, and that was deftly illustrated in this ep.

I knew they'd head down this path too because how could they not, after such a powerful buildup? It still makes me worry for them, though, and I'm glad to see they're trying to add depth by making Sam so indecisive and torn. God, I wonder if Dean could do it, choose the world over Sammy. Part of me doesn't think so, but part of me does. D:

Their futures! Such a real, truthful moment, and both of them broke my heart here all the more because of that -- Dean with his casual despair and Sam with his hopeless hope. D:

Gah, yes, I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. AND HOW CASTIEL PLAYS INTO THIS. *KICKS THE NEXT HAITUS* D: D: D:

OmgJensen. off to go stare some more bai!

[seussian.livejournal.com]

WOAH! Unexpected naked!Misha...! Warn a person before you do that. I almost had and squeeing accident all over the couch. God.


*will go read post and comment on textual content after classes*

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Ahahha, well, I DID warn for mildly NWS image, so who else would it be? :)) But LOL @ squeeing accident. <3333333333333333333333333333333333333

[coffeejunkii.livejournal.com]

i have exactly the same worries about sam'n'dean! especially now that sam is using his powers again, this can't end well :(

bsg tonight :D

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Why are both of my shows so depressing and what does that say about me? :))

BSG tonight indeed! !!!!!!

[tracy.livejournal.com]

I KNOW, RIGHT? I must say, though, if anything can distract me from those hipbones for awhile, it's your icon..

[taurenova.livejournal.com]

Jesus wept, woman! You need to warn someone when you're going to do something like that!

As for the episode, well...I'll be interested to find out if I really did call it right back in my post about Lazarus Rising - that Dean would end up having to kill Sam.

Admittedly - now I'm a little fonder of Sam than I was then (I've had issues with Sam off and on over the series) through my SPN writing and think that maybe I'd rather if he didn't die. But I do have a feeling that Sam and Dean will end up on opposite sides before the end of the season.

Shame, really, because it should totally be three sides: Heaven, Hell and the Winchesters. (Maybe that would be too Good Omens?)

I miss Castiel, though. :(

[tracy.livejournal.com]

I MEAN, I SORT OF DID, RIGHT, but I wanted the full glory of it to be a surprise, so. SURPRISE! :D

Wah, it really looks like it's leading up to Dean having to make that choice because they've been building up to it so much, though I have no idea what he'll actually choose to do once he gets there. D: I just hope they both survive or at least are together in some form in the end, even if they're both dead.

it should totally be three sides: Heaven, Hell and the Winchesters

Totally agree with you, except I want Castiel to be on Dean's side! :(

[lallipoo.livejournal.com]

HUH? hmm not sure what this post is about, lol. NEW BSG TODAY THOUGH YAY :D

[lallipoo.livejournal.com]

Also, hipbones and low pants.... O.o

[big-heart-june.livejournal.com]

BB my love! Are you trying to KILL ME DED?!??! HUH? Can I help you lick and smooch Misha all over? *slides off chair* And Dean my gorgeous precious beautiful Dean....he owns my heart and soul ♥

I mean, there's no way these boys are going to end up conventionally happy with wife and kids and puppies and shit, but I don't think ending the series with Sam'n'Dean alive and together in some capacity is impossible.

I'm SO GLAD you said this! And I think you're one of the few that thinks so. I do too.
And SO FUCKING YES to the Sam'n'Dean-ness!! *loves on them so hard*

Once again, I'm totally oblivious to the shit going down on LJ...:((

THANK YOUUU, BB! ILU! ♥!

[tracy.livejournal.com]

JUST PROVIDING THE NECESSARY DOSE OF CASTIEL THAT KRIPKE FAILED IN DELIVERING THIS WEEK. Or Misha, same thing, that man is an angel. And there's plenty of him to go around, so you take the right and I'll take the left? XD

Dean. ♥

You know, they don't even have to be alive in the conventional sense.. if Dean and Sam both die but their souls pass on to somewhere nice together (preferably with Castiel or at least somewhere Castiel could see them), I would be happy with that. :)

Better to be oblivious, I think!

ILU, BB. SO MUCH. ! <33333333

[shinko.livejournal.com]

Chief wants to know what Dean's safe word is.

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Pie? :D

[strangeandcharm.livejournal.com]

It's bad enough that I made that picture of Misha's delicious hippybone my computer wallpaper yesterday - thus ensuring that I didn't get any work done for hours and hours because I was staring at it, hypnotised a la the Hypnotoad on Futurama - now it's on your post! So I'm transfixed whether I'm online or not!

So unfair.

*is hypnotised*

[tracy.livejournal.com]

CLEARLY THE WORLD IS OUT TO GET YOU.

[starflowers.livejournal.com]

I watched the episode! I tried to download it earlier today and only got 15 minutes in before the download screwed up, it was tragic. But it does air on Space channel on Fridays, so I guess it isn't an utter tragedy that they've stopped playing it Thursday nights here. Blah.

The whole time through the episode, I kept feeling like I'd seen that plot before, in an earlier episode, though I guess I haven't. It just seemed like that had happened... Maybe with the faith healer, way back in season two? Or whichever it was where Dean was dying. I don't even know. But it distracted me.

Also, I've been missing the dynamic between Dean and Sam for a long time, and it didn't seem to be there in this episode. I get that the point of the season is that there is distance between them now, that it's building towards putting them on opposite sides, but it sucks for those of us who watch for the relationships and the character interaction.

Also, and I fully blame you for this. I fucking miss Castiel, okay? Even if he didn't make much of an impression on me at first. I blame you!

I'm looking forward to next week's episode, though!

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Hmm, really? I mean, the plot is a lot like a ton of the plots from season 1, minus the whole Sam thing, but it didn't really remind me of any one episode in particular.

Yeah, me too. I mean, there were hints of it in this episode, which is more than what we've been getting, but it's still nothing like it was before. :( I wish we could have pre-Hell Sam'n'Dean AND Castiel, though I guess that's impossible for now. :|

Hahhh, I accept your blame with pleasure! *BEAMS* But wah, I miss him too. Also looking forward to next week's ep a lot, but I don't think he'll be in that one, either. D:

not seen ep yet...

[kalikahuntress.livejournal.com]

I did not read review but sexy Misha for the win. gah, I am going through some serious withdrawal.

Re: not seen ep yet...

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Me too. :( I've been watching other shows of his (as you can see, heh), but it's not nearly as satisfying as seeing Castiel, even when he DOES saunter around half-naked.

Ahh, withdrawl

[ashinan.livejournal.com]

So, I am not officially on your friends list, and for that I am sad, because most likely unbeknown to you I am a stalker of your writings. Wow, that sounds creepy, but I totally didn't mean it to be!

Anyways, I decided to lurk around your page and saw your review for the latest episode, which made me happy (because we all need to be reminded that Sam and Dean are just that, Sam and Dean) and I wanted to comment because ... well, I wanted to?

Also, I feel out of the loop on LJ because of this sudden wank, but it seems everyone gets hit with a bad case of slash haters. It's not uncommon, but from the jist I can gather off here, it must've been personal.

I hate you for putting that picture of Misha on here. It took me forever to read your comment because I couldn't stop staring. But the episode itself had me once again craving Cas to come in and save Dean at the end. Like the hopeless fangirl I am. Gods.

And once again I sound like a stalker...anyways, adios.

Re: Ahh, withdrawl

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Hello! You may not be on my flist, but I do remember you as the one who read "The One In Which Castiel Doesn't Fall" ten times. :">! Don't worry, I'm not creeped out at all or anything -- in fact, I'm glad you stopped by to comment! <3

I don't think it was a case of hating slash, more like hating one particular person and using the fact that she wrote slash against her in a malicious attack.

Heh, well, what's a girl supposed to do when she hasn't seen more of her favorite angel since November? D: That picture was almost enough to distract me from that fact, so I figured I'd share it with everyone else, too. XD

You are totally welcome here any time! :D

[darksilvercat.livejournal.com]

mmm... who wants to slide those down just a littttle bit more and lick that dip between his hipbone and his.. ohgod. Have I mentioned that I think sharp hipbones are really fucking hot? I think sharp hipbones are really fucking hot. as is Misha's belly and Misha's everything else...

I ADMIRE YOUR COPING MECHANISM.

Srsly, the rest of the post went way over my head, I'm just too fixated on those hipbones.
And that flat stomach.
And the lickable bellybutton.
And nipples. Oh my.

Oh gods I want to lick that man all over.

CASTIEL WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?! WE MISS YOUR FINE ANGELIC TIGHTASS!!!!! <333333333333333333333333333

I know Sera said 'soon', but I'm beginning to suspect we have different definitions of soon...... D=

But Show. Oh Show. Oh boys. *draws hearts all over Show and Boys and Kripke and Castiel.* *uses toffee sauce to draw the hearts on Castiel so that they may be licked off*

[tracy.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU, IT WORKS SURPRISINGLY WELL. :D

Ahahahha I don't blame you, nothing else in this post is important anyway (except for that picture of Jensen).

God, yes, belly and bellybutton and nipples, oh my god Misha's nipples. Misha! fjkds;aflkjdlf also want to lick. Want licking fic. omg.

Seriously, if we don't get any Cas before the next hiatus, I'm gonna throw a fucking fit. That's not "soon" by any standards, ours or the writers'. D: D:

Toffee sauce! Oh my god, I need to be in my bunk right the fuck now. X.X

TWO WORDS: COSMIC. JOKE. D: D: D:
