Kripke... You truly are a magnificent bastard. I love you. And for those of you wondering why I am completely enamored with the Kripkeeper right now, check out my thoughts on tonight's episode by clicking the cut-link below.
This episode right here was superb. Now, granted, it still doesn't match up to my all-time favorite episode - that of course being All Hell Breaks Loose Part 2 - but it was good nonetheless. Everyone played the roles perfectly, and I completely nailed exactly why it was that the angels wanted Anna dead in one of the theories I had thrown by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Another thing, this episode made my fangirl heart explode on at least three occasions. Seriously, Kripke... You're killing me here.
Let's break it down:
1. Anna was, in fact, a fallen angel -
Zed, are you hearing this? I nailed it, bb! \o/
If you think about it, that was the only thing that could possibly explain her abilities. And you know what? I loved that little plot-twist. And, no... It wasn't because I predicited it; it was because it added a whole new level of potential character development for Castiel.
Think about it: Castiel is already beginning to think in the same exact fashion that Anna once did - which leads one to believe that he may indeed fall from grace one day. And personally, I believe that he will. The reason for his fall? Dean.
2. The "Titanic" scene in the back of the Impala -
I admit it... I LOL'd. Seriously, people, that scene was going so well until they did that. I was sitting there with my mother and we both rolled our eyes and chuckled. Not cool, Mr. Tobin... Not cool. It was also completely unoriginal.
Other than that though, I was satisfied. So, meh... I guess I can live with the laughable "hand on sweaty window" there at the end. LOLZ.
3. Uriel threatening Dean in his dreams -
This scene explained why it was that Castiel asked what Dean was dreaming about in the episode "In the Beginning" in such a smug manner. It also made my fangirl heart go boom boom because Uriel confirmed what a fair portion of the fanbase has suspected all along: Castiel has feelings for Dean. Now, as for what those feelings are, that's left up to one's own interpetation.
4. The look Castiel gave Dean when Anna kissed him -
I'm sorry, people, but there is no denying that one. The camera deliberately zoomed in on Castiel when they kissed, showing us the look of hurt on his face, and him ultimately cutting his eyes away. And, no... It had nothing to do with Anna because that wouldn't make sense at this point in the series. That look was because Dean was kissing her. There's no convincing me otherwise.
Castiel's feelings for Dean... I'm sorry, but from what I've learned in my pursuit of psychology - along with studying people's body language - that look meant that Castiel's feelings for Dean go beyond that of an angel looking out for his human mission. This train of thought is also further backed up by what Uriel said to Dean.
5. Alastair almost killed Castiel -
Yet again I will admit to something: I screamed at my television. I swear, I felt my heart jump up into my throat when that scene took place. In fact, I may or may not have shouted out: "Dean? Sam? Uri? God dammit, will somebody please him?!!"
Kripke... You're a sadistic SOB. You deliberately put that part in there because you knew how we would react. Although, I guess that also further proves that you're a genius... I hate you.
6. Dean saved Castiel -
*slasher heart jumps with glee*
7. Oh, my God... Kripke killed Alastair. You bastard! -
Why? Why did you have to kill him off? He was so damn badass despite his strange voice. *sobs*
8. Dean confesses his sins to Sam -
I'm not sure what I think about this scene. On the one hand, my heart broke for Dean. To think that he lasted for thirty years going through something like that? It's horrific just to try and imagine it... Let alone live through it.
Which of course brings up the part that has got me conflicted: Dean isn't acting like someone who was tortured for thirty years, and then later forced to do the torturing on other people for ten. I'm sorry Kripkeeper, but something just doesn't jive there because there's no way that Dean would come out of something like that and be in the stable psychological state he appears to be in now. It's impossible. The damage to his mentaility would be extensive.
Still, Jensen sucessfully broke me with this scene...
This episode was great, but it failed to meet the 'epic' scale.
Kitsu's Final Grade: B
