Supernatural 5.04: The great amazing.

[alwaysenduphere]

I wrote all this last night at like 3am half-drunk on wine coolers and extremely extremely morose. Actually, it's pretty upbeat for what I'm feeling now. But seriously. BEST. EPISODE. EVER. I'm'a be thinking about this one for weeks.



Seriously. They tout me an episode of my dreams: Apocalypse, future, zombies. The only thing I'm disappointed in is the lack of zombie.

Other than one thing, I absolutely loved this episode so fucking much. Definitely gonna be one of my favorites of the season, for sure. The one thing? JENSEN SWEETHEART, CHRISTIAN BALE CALLED. HE SERIOUSLY WANTS YOU TO STOP DOING HIS BATMAN VOICE. I didn't think it could get any more annoying, but future!Dean...MAN. Cut it out, dude.

HOW COULD DEAN LET THE IMPALA GET LIKE THAT? I mean, no, seriously. HOW. Okay, so it's not an all-terrain Jeep or truck or the other craptastic vehicles they were driving (and just think, they could've been riding HORSES. COME ON, GIVE ME HORSES!), but for god's sakes, at least GARAGE her, not just let her...die without dignity! Also dude. present!Dean stole a Buick. Where did his tastes go? LOL.

Jensen looks prettier in green than in blue. Yes, yes.

Okay, not like everyone isn't thinking it, but DEAN. liked wearing. GIRL'S UNDERWEAR. *dies* Okay, now Kripke's just totally picking on us. I know that one's been written somewhere, had to have been. Too cliche not to have been.

Stoned!Castiel is my favorite. "That's how I roll." How much of that was the writers going "Well, Misha does THIS, so..." LOL.

I wish Lexa Doig would've been in it more. When I hear "woman in an apocalyptic world" I totally think of her. She needed to kick some ass. And Dean needed more gun action, especially with that leg holster. Also, the Colt!

I was actually surprised Sam chose to tell Dean he was Lucifer's vessel, but good for him. Yay, honesty. I'm glad they're trying it...assuming Dean tells Sam about the future. Otherwise...um. Although I suppose I understand why he wouldn't. Future!Dean wasn't exactly a good human being, understandably. It's interesting to me that on implying that Dean had gone back to torturing demons, it also meant that he was torturing the human. I guess the quality of life no longer matters.

Anyway, yada yada yada, LUCIFER!SAM, how I love you, let me count the ways. You wear a white suit and 80s loafers, you kill future!Dean quickly instead of torturing him, you don't kill present!Dean because that would be "redundant." You use Sam's puppy face amazingly well to your advantage, and you talk like the Satan of Paradise Lost, which I already knew was going to happen but it still awed me. YES, OKAY, I HAVE SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL. *hums* It's wearing Jared's puppy face, what am I supposed to do, I can't help it! And dude, was Jared made to play the devil?

But seriously. Lucifer was kicked out because he loved God too much. Dean kept himself separated from Sam because he knew his weakness was that he loved him too much. where's the lucifer/god/dean/sam fics?

Anyway, I'm glad it ended with a pretty scenery shot with a reunion. I would've been happy with them apart for another week or two, but we'll see. as long as they aren't all good, I'll be happy. I wonder how much time is supposed to have passed since they broke up?

Edit: I'll just leave this here.



Anyway, EEEEE EPISODE!! Nothing will compare to this episode for awhile at least, I'm sure. NOTHING. Life is crap, but Supernatural is AMAZING.

Good catch. I hadn't realized the parallel there. It's so true.

I'd wondered about the time frame too. I'm guessing it had to have been several weeks, at least a month or two. I wonder if we'll get confirmation on that.

Excellent, excellent ep. I can't stop squeeing.

[alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com]

All I can think is, if only Dean were supposed to be God's vessel instead of Michael's, it'd be THE perfect parallel. But that's just kind of far out...right? Haha.

It seems like at least a month. I mean, Sam was comfortable working at that bar, sleeping with...whatever the barmaid's name was, Lindsey. Doesn't strike me as a week engagement type thing. I hope they at least mention it or something. :|

GO GO GADGET SQUEEFACE!

Awesome review of an awesome eppy. :D

Btw, I had to comment, 'cause I was wondering if I can use your "Life is crap, but Supernatural is AMAZING." quote and put it on an icon? That's pure icon gold there! I'll give you credit for the quote.

haha, *blushes* I think I say that all the time. Just one of those TRUFAX running around me right now. But Yeah, have at it!

Whoa, interesting parallel there. I didn't think of that before - thanks for pointing it out!

I'm also glad that the boys are trying honesty with each other - Sam telling Dean about Lucifer's vessel, Dean saying that they keep each other human.

Loved this ep :D

[alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com]

If only Dean were God's vessel instead of Michael's, it would be perfect.

I know, honesty is something they haven't done in...a really long time. It's a nice change!

kay, not like everyone isn't thinking it, but DEAN. liked wearing. GIRL'S UNDERWEAR. *dies* Okay, now Kripke's just totally picking on us. I know that one's been written somewhere, had to have been. Too cliche not to have been.

I just remembered this line..."Sam wears women's underwear." What was he trying to SAY?! lol Was this part of some twisted plan of Dean's, to get Sam to try it? I'm lost now, but I'm laughing, wherever I am.
You know what makes it worse? Jensen used to date Joanna Krupa. Do you know what she does now? LOL

[alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com]

Haha, I didn't even think about that! Dean's pushing his kinks onto Sam. LOL.

I know she's on Dancing with the Stars?

[slayerkate.livejournal.com]

She's also a model for Frederick's of Hollywood. LOL

[alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh. ITS ALL CONNECTED.

[captainlon.livejournal.com]

I didn't really like the episode. Future!Dean was a pain in the ass lol. Too much Dean, BUT I loved the scenes with Dean and Lucifer and Dean and Sam =)

[alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com]

Future!Dean was certainly a version of Dean I hope we never see again. Little too harsh on the edges, not enough Sam love. LOL.

[diner]

Was Jared made to play the Devil?

RIGHT? OH MY GOD. WIBBLE. Jared... so puppy, SO HOT. OM NOM NOM.

[alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHAHA ICON!

[diner]

RIGHT?!

[surevesta.livejournal.com]

I totally want to read a fic where: Dean is Michael, Sam is Lucifer, and John is God's host. XD I think I'll write a one shot this weekend.... >.>

[alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com]

YES. John so totally needs to be God.

[xxtornxxapartxx.livejournal.com]

But seriously. Lucifer was kicked out because he loved God too much. Dean kept himself separated from Sam because he knew his weakness was that he loved him too much.
Oh, good catch! I didn't even think of that.

Was Jared made to play the Devil?
Gah, must've been. Cause dude, he knocked it out of the ballpark!

[alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com]

If only Dean were God's vessel and not Michael's, it'd be a perfect parallel.

RIGHT?! I can't wait for someone to ask him what it was like playing Lucifer!

[chosenfire28.livejournal.com]

OMG SORRY! Picturing Dean in those is the most amazing visual image ever, seriously this was a case of it would have been better to show us instead of telling us (but then the intenet would have broke)

[alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com]

RIGHT? Ahaha, I can just picture Jensen reading the script and calling Kripke or Ben Edlund. "You want me to wear WHAT?!" Although he did wear those gym shorts...

Someone pointed out to me that the type of panties pictured probably didn't exist in the 80s when Dean was 19, but still. Doesn't mean he wouldn't like that pair TODAY.

Yes, I am riding the train of OHGODTHISEPISODEWASFLIPPINGAWESOMEANDICAN'TTAKEITSOI'MRIDINGONAFUCKINGTRAINFORNOREALREASON! ♥

[alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com]

HELL YES.

[force-oblique.livejournal.com]

LUCIFER!SAM, how I love you, let me count the ways
Ditto!!!

[alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com]

Seriously. Now I think I'm'a be sad if Sam DOESN'T become Lucifer just to see the awesome of that again!

[lessrest.livejournal.com]

I loved this episode so, so much. Oh my god it was awesome. ♥
