Supernatural - "When the Levee Breaks"

[kitsu84]

Heads up: This entry is going to remain public, but I'm not going to post any outside links to it for fear of wank from Sam!Girls. Yes, I am THAT pissed.

______________________________

Sam has gotten to the point with his addiction where he's no longer in control. So in an act of desperation, Dean and Bobby lock him up in the panic room.

While detoxing, Sam sees the darkest side of himself in the visages of people he has either killed, lost, or betrayed; these people include: Alastair, Mary, Dean, and even a young version of himself. All the while he is confused, scared, alone, and in a great amount of pain.

Now at this point in time, I really did feel sorry for him - but that didn't last very long. By the end of the episode, I felt like hitting the boy with a baseball bat in hopes of finally knocking some sense into him. And he wasn't the only one either...

♠ Dean

Confused, scared... and alone. Even with Bobby by his side the entire time, it was painfully clear to see the guilt of locking Sam away - even if it was for his own good - was slowly eating away at Dean. Still, he stood at the ready. He was even willing to sell himself over to the angels to protect Sam; to protect his precious little brother.

♠ Bobby

For the first time since he joined the series, I actually disagreed with Bobby. Even if Sam was capable of killing demons, the addiction was slowly but surely turning him into a "monster".

By the way, was I the only one who held their breath when he confronted Sam with the shotgun? I just KNEW something bad was going to happen. Thankfully, though, it didn't, and Bobby was allowed to live another day.

♠ Ruby

Girl needs to die. RIGHT NOW. Nothing against Genevieve, of course, I just think it's about time somebody killed her off.

♠ Sam

Sam, you insufferable BASTARD. After everything your brother has done for you out of fear for your own safety, you turn against him? YOU were the one who threw the first punch; YOU were the one who clearly demonstrated that you're capable of killing your own flesh and blood, and YOU were the one who walked out that door.

Now tell me: Are these the actions of someone who hopes to "fix" his relationship with his brother? Yeah, I don't think so either.

As of right now, Sam and I are done. Professionally.

♠ Castiel

The cold and emptiness, combined with eyes that seem to be pleading for... something. Clearly whatever happened in Heaven was indeed major because - not only is Castiel back to the way he was at the beginning of the season - he is actually WORSE. He even betrayed Anna. I confess, I actually teared up when they took her away. She has been trying with all her might to help him think for himself, and he turns her into the 'Angel Police'.

And don't even get me started on how he acted around Dean. That practically deflated my fangirl heart. I don't think I can take much more of that...

KITSU'S FINAL GRADE: B+

I love what you say here. The only point I disagree on is Cas. I think that he's being played majorly by the evil angels in Heaven and my reasons for thinking that have to do with what I believe the final seal is - and how they need Sam free in order to "open" the seal. Once Cas figures out that he's being led astray I think he'll go back to "himself."

[kitsu84.livejournal.com]

That's the reason why I made sure to point out that there seems to be something in his eyes. Something horrific happened to Castiel while he was in Heaven. That much we can be sure of because it was in the... I think it was the original sides? Can't remember.

Anyway, back on topic.

If you pay attention to his body language, facial expressions, and his eyes - something is clearly off where Castiel is concerned. That's the reason why I said that it appears as if he's silently pleading to Dean for something.

Castiel certainly works his eyes like nobodies business! I think he really resents and disagrees with what he has to do and that how he expresses it. You're right he probably really does want Dean to help him. I think he will!

Oh, gods, I hope so. The only problem is that Dean seems to be too preoccupied with his brother to notice...

[bellajayd.livejournal.com]

Not anymore he aint. I think Sam crossed a line with Dean and in doing that he lost his brothers blind loyalty.

[kitsu84.livejournal.com]

You really think so? I mean, seriously... Do you honestly think Dean is finally at the same point his father was when he made the same remark to Sam? Because if he is, THANK THE GODS.

[bellajayd.livejournal.com]

I think he is. Really I do - even the most loyal dogs will attack their masters if they get beaten badly enough.

[kitsu84.livejournal.com]

Interesting analogy. And remarkably fitting considering how loyal Dean is to Sam.

[bellajayd.livejournal.com]

I know right. I wish Sam could appreciate what he has in Dean!

[kitsu84.livejournal.com]

Kinda hard to do when you're too busy with your head up your ass to notice. Dean deserves better than that.

[bellajayd.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY! HE NEEDS AN ANGEL . . .ONE WITH BIG BLUE EYES AND A TRENCH COAT!
