Supernatural - "I Know What You Did Last Summer"
As per usual, my thoughts are under the cut...
Seriously, what the fuck was going on during this episode?
Let's break it down:
1. Sam slept with Ruby -
Oh, boy...
Personally, I don't care about this either way. What I do care about, however, is how the fandom is going to react to it. Both Jared and Genevieve may very well receive some serious backlash from this, and that saddens me something horrible. Surely, both Eric and Sera knew what they were doing when they wrote this into the story.
Another thing I must point out is the fact that it is just... wrong. It doesn't matter if the girl's soul in no longer inside the body, this is still a question of morals. It was her body. And even if she is a 'Jane Doe', there's still a possibility of a family out there frantically searching for their daughter/sister/girlfriend. Now tell me - what would happen if said family were to run into Ruby on the street? The encounter would rip them apart.
Talking about controversy... You guys have opened up a whole new can of worms with this.
2. Anna -
Not sure what I thought about this girl. I do find it interesting that she shares the same name as the prophetess, Anna, in the Bible who was the daughter of Phanuel, which just so happens to be another name that Uriel goes by. Anna was also the name of Samuel's mother. Surely this isn't just a coincindence...
2. Alastair -
Now this guy right here was awesome- No. He was made of awesome. His entrance and the way he kicked the Winchesters' asses? Yeah, it had me flailing, and cheering him on. I also found it very interesting how his eyes were the same color as Lilith's, along with the fact that he's completely immune to Sam's powers. He also survived an one-on-one battle against the demon killing knife. This suggests that he may be higher up on the foodchain than Lilith. And that thought alone gets me excited.
In a nutshell, he was BADASS. I demand more of him in the show.
3. Castiel and Uriel's entrance -
How awesome was this? Seriously, people, I was literally squeeing. And what was up with the looks exchanged between Cas and Dean? Also, has anybody else noticed how when these two are in a room together, they concentrate solely on one-another? Everything else just seems to fade away. If you don't believe me, take a closer look at what happened in the motel room in the episode It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester. Once you've done that, re-watch this episode. If you don't notice it, then keep repeatedly watching it until you do. Trust me, it's there.
Kitsu's Final Grade: C
As for next week: I'm holding out hope here, Kripke. You better deliver.

Now Alistar scares the everlovin shit out of me. The actor did when he was the creepy stalker dude Jack in Profiler he's just made for evil roles. Yeah he's a bad ass.
Loved Castiel and Butthead (yes that's his name now) entrance.
Yes I've noticed I've tried real hard not to because it's messing with my wincest/J2 foo. But they are both such intense actors, not that Jared's not but for these two a lot of their acting is done in their face and their eyes particularly they seem to hone in on each other and that's all she wrote folks everyone else can just step aside.
I can't believe out of all the things you liked and loved that the one thing you didn't you're going to let overshadow the whole thing and you gave him a D- because of fandom. Come on where's the love.

This is the SPN fanbase we're talking about. Yes, it is the second coming. LOL.

Words cannot express how much I loved this guy. I mean, come on... the Mary statue was crying tears of blood, and he pwned the Winchesters. He was just... Gah! I wants maor!!

Bite your tongue, heathen! Uriel's awesome. XP

THANK YOU! *bows before angels3 and her overwhelming greatness*
Intense is the perfect word for describing these two. And the way they concentrate solely on one-another drives this fangirl insane.

*grumbles*
You just had to point my illogical grade, didn't you? Fine... I'll change it.
no subject
I love the actor, the character is a Butthead or to quote Dean and then Sam quoting Dean he's a DICK!!!!!!!!!! I think he's too full of himself and someone (God, Castiel, Dean) needs to take him out at the knees.
See messing with my damn foo. I'm going to wind up doing an absolute no no and doing a forbidden pairing if I keep seeing those looks.
Although that little scene there where Sam steps up behind Dean and Dean leans down and forward and Sam grabs his shoulder and pops it back into place. Yeah my head was in dark naughty places :)
Well fair is fair. You are literally squeeeing over everyting else and that was such a small part of the whole episode. The wanky fans are what made it so big. Now for Dean to shuck his clothes I want to at least see the dimples in his ass.
no subject
I don't see Uriel as being a dick. Instead, I see him as being proud, stern and fearless. I also love the way he carries himself; he's a got a particularly strong presence about him.
The angel!porn is hotness. You know that you won't be able to resist it for long.
Ha! I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thought that during said scene. I think I may have actually grinned during it.
Wank has that effect on me, and it pisses me off something fierce. I mean, we can't change it, so why get so damn worked-up about the whole thing? Now, I understand pointing out why it's wrong, but don't get in a tizzy over it. It's not worth the energy.
As for next week, OMFG. I was actually fanning myself when I saw that. DAMN...
no subject
Next weeK *flails* Dean
I had to rewind like five times but did you see where it looks like Castiel rises up and a lights all around him? *whimpers*
no subject
Next week: Dean!Porn and Castiel. Hee! :D
I saw that, and it's got me worried... :(

Yes, this does sadden me. I dislike Ruby intensely, especially the new one, but I can't hate Sam solely based on this. I've seen some people say they are refusing to watch the show again (me thinks those are empty threats) but why would you? I've been here since the beginning and I am going to pussy out because of that? Please, I stuck with Heroes (util they killed off Adam) and through ER, I can stick through this. I just find it funny how people are in such an outrage, and some don't even notice that their other shows did the exact same thing. Buffy? Yeah, that was necrophilia. Angel, Mmhmm. Even Anne Rice books had necrophilia. For some reason it's not rare in the Supernatural genre.
And honestly, when it comes to inter species I can't say anything since I have been swooning over Dean/Castiel since the start of the season. The only thing I will say is if Sam and Ruby can have sex Dean and Castiel can have sex eventually as well, right? I know you can hear me show! Don't ignore me!
Now this guy right here was awesome- No. He was made of awesome.
Ugh, I love him already! He was kinda crazy, kinda calm, and kinda fucking awesome. The actor is very good, and I am hoping for another Dean and Alastair scene as well as a Alastair and Castiel scene (IMAGINE THE AWESOMENESS!)
How awesome was this? Seriously, people, I was literally squeeing. And what was up with the looks exchanged between Cas and Dean?
I love Uriel. When he said the thing about Ruby being a stain he went up in awesome points for me. And the Dean and Castiel eye sex? Oh yes, I notice. Really, I was never into slash before. I liked Dean and Sam and all, but didn't read the fics and didn't pay attention to the subtext. But Dastiel? It's kinda hard to ignore that. It is the official pairing that got me into slash.
Lastly...
This is true. And if something does happen to him, the Kripkeeper will have a full-blown riot on his hand.
Oh God could you imagine the hate? I've already seen tons of hate threads on the Sam and Ruby, I don't want to imagine how the forums would be if he was killed. I'll be optimistic and say there is no way in hell that they would do that, not if they wanted to keep their lives. I don't know, I would be pissed and depressed at the same time. Not a good combination for me. I wouldn't be surprised if I held a grudge over it if they did kill him.

and what about Maid Ruby? I loved that lol
no subject
YES. Another Alastair fan. I welcomes you.
and what about Maid Ruby? I loved that lol
Soulful!Ruby was beyond awesome. I must admit that I chuckled quite a bit at that.
no subject
Alastair was bad. Ass. We definitely need more of him.
THE LOOK BETWEEN DEAN AND CASTIEL OMG WHAT WAS THAT! Holy shit, the slash just writes itself, I tell you.
no subject
YES. Moar Alastair! \o/
Inorite? I asked that same exact question when Castiel walked in there.
no subject
Alastair FTW!
I just ... they ... the look ... he ... *flails*
no subject
YES. Alastair is definitely a new fav. :D
As for the Dean/Cas looks, this:
no subject
Eye. Fucking. That's all there is to say about that. I mean LOOK! How can you look at that and NOT SEE IT! I don't get people that don't see it. Phfgha.

...and now I need to watch that scene again. brb - in my bunk

*thud*

Pretty screencaps.
That's all.
no subject
AND LMAO MAID!RUBY MADE ME PISS MYSELF LAUGHING. LOVED IT.
no subject
She was made of win. I also loved the look Dean gave Sam when she walked out of the room. XD
no subject
That's really interesting information, thank you!
Although I have to warn you that it may end up being a coincidence. Castiel was one of the angels Sam called upon in his ritual in Red Sky At Morning, so I thought for sure this would be brought up, but apparently not.
no subject
That shouldn't be a problem. LOL
I'm too hopped up on caffeine right now to properly respond, but as you know already, I totally agree with you. Obviously. lol So.... *HUGGLES*
More Castiel! More Castiel *chants*
no subject
Also, has anybody else noticed how when these two are in a room together, they concentrate solely on one-another? Everything else just seems to fade away. If you don't believe me, take a closer look at what happened in the motel room in the episode It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one flailing over that fact! Sam and Ruby can have all the sex they want, but they can only DREAM they'll be as intense and have that much chemistry,
/obsessive fangirling

I fucked squeed! It was so damn AWESOME! :D That made up for the crappy parts of the episode haha. OMFG did you just star into Misha's baby blues? I nearly fainted.

OH HELL YEAH. Just yes. Sooo much yeah.
The wide like surprised and kinda dissapointed (or whatever) and sad look in Castiel's eyes and the way he looked at Dean like Dean had just gutted his favorite puppy. XD
Damn.
The guy in the church was a badass. XD Way awesome. lol. And the point you do raise about Ruby is interesting. Maybe there is relatives out there. Hmm. *Ponders*
I quite liked it, over all. XD
no subject
I totally see it! There was this moment where Castiel is staring into Dean's eyes... and then cut to Dean's face and he licks his lip with his tongue (either he's nervous or thinking bad thoughts LOL). Hee!
