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? :)

[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]

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.

[n-isfor-neville.livejournal.com]

I can't really describe why, other than I was just bored. I liked the guest stars and everything. Maybe it's because there was a Pushing Daisies episode that was a magician murder mystery so it just felt like a recycled plot with a supernatural spin.

[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]

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:

[tracy.livejournal.com]

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

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Ah. I didn't think too much of the plot myself, actually, this episode was just all about my boys being my boys. I mean, there wasn't that much of them, but it's more than we've gotten in awhile.

[crystalchain.livejournal.com]

I'm proud of myself actually. I've seen the picture and thought "Oh damn. I could just as well stare at the picture until I drop dead of TEH HOT." but then I tried to keep it together and read your entry. I'M PROUD, YES. lol

Damn... I hope we're wrong with what we're thinking D:

Tell me about it D:

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Ahahha, I would tell you how long I spent staring at that picture, but that would be pretty embarrassing. Suffice to say, that's why this post went up so late. XD

Me too. :( Though if he does do that to us but then somehow makes it better in the end.. I could deal with that.

I somehow doubt he'll be in next week's ep, either. *THROWS FIT* D:

[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*

[crystalchain.livejournal.com]

Hahahah. XD awesome. We can be embarassed together because I spent some precious lifetime with staring at the picture myself *whistles innocently* LOL

Yep, me too. Guess we just have to wait and see =/

Someone mentioned at some point that he wouldn't be in 4x13 and 4x14 either. There'll be another hiatus after 4x14 as far as I know. I cannot wait that long, I don't wanna wait that long *cries some more* I mean that's just... that's... THAT'S CRUEL.

[nicocoer.livejournal.com]

Wait there's wank on LJ? XD

[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.

[tracy.livejournal.com]

Imagine that. :P

[tracy.livejournal.com]

And that's nothing compared to how much time I spent watching that entire scene over and over and over again.. T_T

I KNOW. No clue what 4x14's gonna be about, but I'm pretty sure there's no place for him in 4x12. D: Sera said "soon", but if it turns out we do actually have to wait through another hiatus without him.. jesus, it's almost enough to make me want to put the Sam!girls to shame.

[vyrantium.livejournal.com]

Oooh... lousy :( Some people seriously SUCK. Thankfully I'm one of those people who generally doesn't care who knows what I watch/write/read so I don't have to worry about that. My own boyfriend knows I love slash... in fact we have conversations about it xD Same with my friends. My mom has found gay porn in my room, LOL. It disgusts her, but I don't care. I am who I am... no apologies :P It's too bad people feel the need to out others. Seriously, it's up to the individual what they want to divulge to the world. Not everyone is as outspoken as me (probably a good thing in the long run!)

ANOTHER hiatus?? What the hell people?!? I thought it was crazy that we had that huge hiatus this time around... why have another one? Is it just me or did this not happen the first two seasons? I can see why it happened last year with the strike, but this year? What the hell? :P I wants me some Dean/Castiel lovin'!

I honestly can see Sammy losing ALL recollection of Sammy-ness if he goes that dark... I'm worried the seals will be broken and Lucifer will somehow be reborn into Sam or something :/ Charlie was just a normal guy who discovered a way to live forever and play around a bit... Sam? Sam is messing with some serious mojo, not to mention the whole demon blood thing and the fact that we now know Azazel had something much grander in store for him than we've seen. I think Sam might become some kind of monster (on the inside obviously... I don't mean he'll mutate, LOL) and he won't even recognize Dean anymore in the way he used to. While it's true that Dean might see killing him at that point as merciful... I still don't know if he could do it. And if he did? I don't think he could live with himself. It'd be ten TIMES as bad as it was for Jay with Charlie... he grew up with Sammy, practically RAISED Sammy... he's all he has left. If he went to hell for Sam (and I bet he would do the same again if he had to even knowing what he knows now) I honestly don't think he could ever harm him... even if he wasn't Sam on the inside anymore.

Anyway... getting away from THAT long winded response xD Yeah, last week's was good for the Dean insight. It looks like next week's will be good for some background too which I'm happy about. I thought it was going to be really stupid for Dean to be wearing the bun smuggler shorts ala gym teacher, but this episode looks like it has potential to fill in the background of the boys. Yay for more canon facts to work with! ^_^

[tracy.livejournal.com]

My close friends all know, and so does/did my ex, even though he found it a bit disconcerting. My parents, though. *shudder* It's not even that this person felt the need to out others, this sounds like a vicious and targeted attack. I dunno, but I honestly can't imagine that anyone on my flist would ever do that to me. 'Sides, I'm pretty sure I haven't pissed anyone off in the past few years..

I can't remember if it happened the first two seasons, but crystalchain thinks there'll be another one and I've always gotten the impression she knows what she's talking about. D: Seriously, though, it really does sort of look like no Cas till after another hiatus. Fuck. D:

Hmm. I guess if Lucifer possesses him then he'd kill Dean, but.. it would be more twisted if Sam was still in control of himself, I think. And Kripke likes twisted. :| But yeah, I guess you're right.. Dean couldn't shoot daddy in season 1, and it would be even harder to shoot Sammy. D:

Heee, I'm excited about next week's ep too! Looks adorable and yes, bun smuggler shorts, hahha, but again, no room for Cas. *cries a little*

[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

[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*

[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]

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!

[tracy.livejournal.com]

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