Supernatural - "Heaven and Hell"

[kitsu84]

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 zed_pm  in our many discussions pertaining to Supernatural.

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

That's it! You get your Jensen revoked for a week. NO FLAUNTING ALLOWED.
*scoffs*

Well, fine then. *snatches misha, lee and jared*

Also, I'm logging this prediction for later. :P
He's going to fall - it's inevitable. Hell, I'll even theorize why: He disobeys an order from above to take out Dean, ultimately leading to an epic showdown between him and Uriel.

Doesn't that sound awesome? Oh, I can just imagine the pained expression that would be on his face when he turns back to look at Dean before uttering the words "I'm sorry" right before charging towards Uriel.

*zones out while contemplating the epicness of that statement*

The only thought that crossed my mind was "SOMEBODY GET THE BLEACH."
I must admit that that scene was indeed a bit... awkward. But hey, Dean!Porn, bb. Dean!Porn. It makes the world go 'round.

By the way, did you think of me when Sam made that remark to Dean about porn and reality? You did, didn't you?

Maybe it's because Castiel has worked so hard to get Dean to do what was right and the he goes and kisses the very thing they're hunting? Could that be it?
No. It was because he was jealous. STOP TRYING TO DESTROY MY DELUSIONS!

But, the camera did do a good zooming job. I enjoyed that shot. NOOOOOM
The cameraman was CLEARLY a Misha fanboy. I mean, come on... Just look at those shots. They were magnificent.

Other than Alastair ruining the moment of Castiel actually doing some fighting of his own (GUUUUUH), I also found it hard to believe that the same Angel who rased a forest and imprinted his hand on a human would fail to overcome a demon of whatever "rank."
Castiel was in his true form when he ripped Dean out of Hell, and slammed him back into his coffin. So, yeah... It could be because the vessel is unable to handle his full power.

Like I said last week, he's probably just sitting back and taking it all in whilst laughing at at the fans. XP
I can only imagine how hard he LOL'd at my post then. XD

Kripke, I know you're there reading our porn!fics and crack!theories. You haven't got me fooled.

I think that is a major development, almost as major as how Dean was the one to give Anna up. WHICH I TOTALLY CALLED. phft.
Yeah, yeah... You called it. *gives cookie and 30 minutes with jensen*

Did he die? I guess he did...
I re-watched the episode today, and from my point of view, Alastair was completely obliterated by the flash of light around Anna. So, yeah... I guess so.

I'm sorry, but I just have to insert here how BEAUTIFUL Castiel looked when he was staring at Anna transform or whatever the heck she was doing.
Oh, God, yessss. He was just simply gorgeous. And the way those baby blues shined? Oh, man... It killed me.

Also, this scene need one thing: JOHN WINCHESTER. Can you just imagine that??
Honey, our televison sets would've exploded from the sheer awesomeness.

It was pretty epic where pornos are concerned...DID I JUST SAY THAT?
To quote Sam: "I'm not touching that line with a ten-foot pole."

At the end of the episode I found myself wondering what the heck all of this had to do with anything. Now, I don't know about you, but I was just a little perturbed. It was nice to see Castiel and Uriel kicking major demon butt, but...what was the point?
I'll tell you what I've told others:

"I believe the entire reason for including Anna in the story was to foreshadow what's ahead for our favorite angel because he's beginning to think in the same exact fashion she once did."

We also learned exactly what happened with Sam during those four months, along with what happened to Dean in Hell. There's also the bit we learned about Castiel and his feelings for Dean, so yeah... I felt that these two episodes were necessary for developing the overall storyline.

Also, I'm not even gonna start on the whole her grace landed in a tree thing...THE HECK WAS THAT ABOUT????? That's like Doctor Who material right there.
Her grace was what grew the tree. It actually made sense. However, the whole 'having her grace in a necklace' was hilarious because I immediately thought of the Doctor's fob watch.

The Kripkeeper has been known to watch the Sci-fi Channel (Ghost Hunters), so maybe he watches Doctor Who as well? ;P

Well, fine then. *snatches misha, lee and jared*
XP

He disobeys an order from above to take out Dean, ultimately leading to an epic showdown between him and Uriel.
I don't wanna think about it. It all makes me sad. Cause no doubt he'll sacrifice himself in the end and THEN WHAT WILL WE DO???? D: *despairs*

...he turns back to look at Dean before uttering the words "I'm sorry" right before charging towards Uriel.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
*weeps* I could see that perfectly in my head and it made me wanna cry. :(

*zones out while contemplating the epicness of that statement*
Stop with your epicness! I can't take it all right now. Save some for the rest of the hiatus, bb!
*breathes slowly in and out*

*calms*

By the way, did you think of me when Sam made that remark to Dean about porn and reality? You did, didn't you?
Possibly. *looks around* I think it should be your new motto. ;)

STOP TRYING TO DESTROY MY DELUSIONS!
HAHA I knew you'd love me for that.

I mean, come on... Just look at those shots. They were magnificent.
Agreed. I can imagine the whole episode was originally shot just staring at Misha the whole time and you only knew what was going on by how the looks changed on his face. Then, they probably slapped the camera man and re-shot everything. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MAGICAL. 0_0

It could be because the vessel is unable to handle his full power.
Darn. When the angels and demons started going at the other night, I was all like they're gonna run at each other and then there's gonna be like this blinding light when they clash and blah blah blah. And, then the just ran into each other and started fighting like people and I was all like MERF. Can you imagine Castiel in his true form fighting a demon in it's true form??? The mixing of the white wings and the black smoke and the....*wanders off in thought* Woooooo. *fans self*

...
I can only imagine how hard he LOL'd at my post then. XD
He probably printed it out and saved it in his BIG BOOK OF CRAZY. X)

Yeah, yeah... You called it. *gives cookie and 30 minutes with jensen*
Hey! I already stole Jensen. You're supposed to give me Misha or something. *pouts*

And the way those baby blues shined? Oh, man... It killed me.
OH YES. YEEEEESSSSS. His eyes were like this solid, deep blue that just burrowed into your soul and---ahem....never mind...

Honey, our televison sets would've exploded from the sheer awesomeness.
HAHA TOTALLY!! I can just see him walking in and everything just blowing up because trying to fight would be pointless. LOL Dang, I miss John.

To quote Sam: "I'm not touching that line with a ten-foot pole."
I see you hiding behind Sammy there. XD

"I believe the entire reason for including Anna in the story was to foreshadow what's ahead for our favorite angel because he's beginning to think in the same exact fashion she once did."
That's a very elaborate scheme, but I guess you're right. *sighs*
Also, I've been thinking about how much I don't want Castiel's meat suit to die. UNLESS he falls and just stays in that person, which...would probably not happen. :/ Also, I don't want him to come back as a baby cause that would suck....for us.

I felt that these two episodes were necessary for developing the overall storyline.
*grumbles* I think I got the most out of Castiel...

However, the whole 'having her grace in a necklace' was hilarious because I immediately thought of the Doctor's fob watch.
Yeah. It took me a minute to realise that the tree came from her grace. *slaps forehead* Again, I was distracted..and not paying all that much attention. *is a bad person*
But, yeah the fob watch is exactly what I thought of. LOL

The Kripkeeper has been known to watch the Sci-fi Channel (Ghost Hunters), so maybe he watches Doctor Who as well? ;P
As he should! Oh! Maybe that's who they modeled Castiel's hair after! lol I always thought it looked a little Ten-ish. X)


P.S. Has anyone ever told you how distracting your sidebar animations are? A comment that should only take me five minutes to respond to ends up taking me like twenty because I see Castiel staring at me all the time. Not that I'm complaining, but...*stares some more*
