Supernatural - "When the Levee Breaks"

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 had that same feeling when Bobby confronted Sam. I thought that Sam was just gonna out right kill him. Thankfully he didn't, but I still kinda yelled "BASTARD NEEDS TO DIE NOW." My love for Bobby is crazy.

Castiel's breaking my heart. :(

[identity profile] kitsu84.livejournal.com 2009-05-08 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
LOL. I did the same, exact thing. I just knew he was going to kill Bobby. And when it comes to Bobby, I can be rather... protective.

Mine too. ;__;

[identity profile] aphoticdivinity.livejournal.com 2009-05-08 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
Aaaargh!! I totally know how you feel :( This episode was wonderfully writter, wonderfully acted, but just terrible on the heartbreak factor Dean: My heart just continues to break for him... even though he gave Sam that ultimatum part of me still thinks that he'd rather die than kill his own brother, even if he is turning into a monster. He's just coming to the point where he can't rely on anyone anymore... even Bobby wanted to make a crap decision which was the first time in his existence that I found him to be useless :/

Bobby: Nope, totally not the only one... my boyfriend and I were both holding our breath. I still have a bad feeling about poor Bobby :(

Ruby: Fuck her. I don't like Gen either to be honest... never have and it has nothing to do with her relationship/not relationship with Jared... I seriously just don't see the merit in her acting. But seriously? That devious bitch needs to go down and I seriously hope Dean is the one to do it. Am I the only one who can see disgusting Sam lapping her blood up off the floor? :/ *gags*

Sam: The epitome of an ungrateful bastard... I seriously wish Dean would have let him die. I'm sure Dean wishes that right about now too considering what his brother has turned into. The fact that Sam could actually sit there and nearly snuff his brother's life out with his bare hands? Cold. COLD. Sam, you disgust me.

Castiel: I'm really at odds with what to think with him... do I believe he's really trying to manipulate things for Dean while obeying orders, or do I believe that he's just being THAT MUCH of an ass? I really don't know. I see possible wiggle room there with what he made Dean promise, but honestly? Whatever happened to him up there must have been awful because he's God-fearing all over again :/

Speaking of "God"... where the hell is HE?? Lucifer is going to show up to the fight, why not the other big gun? Does he exist? Does he even care? Who knows :/ Ugh.

omg. im a mess. but god my dean. i hate this. i hate the boys like this. i can't deal with it.

I WANT TO FIX THEM BOTH *cries*

[identity profile] x5649.livejournal.com 2009-05-08 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Agreed... on everything... gah I wanted to hit Sammy so hard at the end of the episode. I just... gah!!! Oh god and Ruby... I used to love Ruby... I mean really love Ruby last season (granted I totally shipped her with Dean but that's beside the point)... now I can't stand her... Oh she made me soooooo mad!!!! And Castiel... I didn't know whether to hit him or hug him... he's one seriously fucked up angel.

[identity profile] kitsu84.livejournal.com 2009-05-08 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
My heart just continues to break for him... even though he gave Sam that ultimatum part of me still thinks that he'd rather die than kill his own brother, even if he is turning into a monster. He's just coming to the point where he can't rely on anyone anymore...
Precisely. Even his angel seems to have abandoned him.

I still have a bad feeling about poor Bobby
You and me both. I'm still holding out hope, though.

That devious bitch needs to go down and I seriously hope Dean is the one to do it.
Dean has GOT to be the one to do it. Either him or Castiel.

Am I the only one who can see disgusting Sam lapping her blood up off the floor?
Sadly, no. I can see him doing the same thing...

The fact that Sam could actually sit there and nearly snuff his brother's life out with his bare hands?
This was the straw that broke the camel's back for me and Sam. Now I know some people are going to say that he stopped, but that's not the point. The point is: Why did he do it in the first place? Dean was clearly already down for the count.

I'm really at odds with what to think with him... do I believe he's really trying to manipulate things for Dean while obeying orders, or do I believe that he's just being THAT MUCH of an ass?
When it comes to answering that question, I'm going to go with his eyes; he is clearly pleading to Dean with them.

Man, what is Kripke doing with out OTP hun :( srsly ;-;.

[identity profile] kitsu84.livejournal.com 2009-05-08 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
This series is clearly past the point of no return, bb. I honestly don't think these boys will ever be the same. And that breaks my heart.

[identity profile] kitsu84.livejournal.com 2009-05-08 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
I've got a small girl!crush on Katie, so yeah... I really liked her version of Ruby. She was a snarky bitch, and I liked it. This new Ruby - I've tried to like her all season. Really, I have. But after tonight? Yeah, I'm with Dean: She needs to die.

As for Castiel, he's breaking my heart. I just can't take it. Every single time I read fic with him and Dean now, I feel like crying my eyes out.

[identity profile] kitsu84.livejournal.com 2009-05-08 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
I KNOW. He's killing us. ;_____;

[identity profile] brittwinchester.livejournal.com 2009-05-08 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
I know it hurts so much. I mean you think they'll get back together but just never be the same or you think the whole next season they'll be apart? Cause I do not want that...

[identity profile] kitsu84.livejournal.com 2009-05-08 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
I'm afraid to voice my opinions on that until after the finale, but as of right now, I would say that the boys may very well start next season out separated from one-another. That's not to say that they won't get back together a few episodes into the season, though.

Omg! I loved Katie's Ruby... she was just perfect... but this new Ruby... I mean nothing against Gen... I just don't like her. I've tried too, but I just can't take anymore of her. Look what she's done to Sam and Dean. All these fangirls were worried that Castiel was coming between Sam and Dean, but it was Ruby.


As for Castiel, he's breaking my heart. I just can't take it. Every single time I read fic with him and Dean now, I feel like crying my eyes out.
I know what you mean, and part of me isn't mad at Cas... not really, beacuse he's like this cause of what happened when he got ripped out of his vessel and pulled back to heaven... It really makes me wonder what they did to him up there.


Oh and you totally weren't the only one who was holding their breath during the confrontation between Sam and Bobby... I was like... OMG! NO! even though I too was mad at Bobby in this episode, I don't want to see him go.

And about Sam strangling Dean... that really kinda reminded me of "Asylum" which was nice, cause of the throwback... but that is the second time (at least) in four years that we've seen how willing Sam is to kill his brother... and when push comes to shove... Dean is NEVER willing to kill Sam... "Born Under a Bad Sign".... not once did Dean even consider killing Sam. The closest Dean has come is in this episode saying that he would rather see Sam die than become a monster... and yet there's Sam, choking the life out of his brother... just like in the first season when he pulled the trigger in "Asylum".

and to make me happy -stares at icon- ahhh... and STAR TREK TOMORROW!

I know me too *sigh* I was just curious.

That's my thoughts too. We'll see darling.

*clings*

Seriously, that's the same way I look at it... how much aggression do you actually have to have in you to even PRETEND to choke the life out of someone who's supposed to mean that much to you? I don't even care that he's not really Sammy anymore. I have no sympathy because he did this to himself and he's been given every chance in the world to redeem himself.

And honestly? When did Sam turn into such a selfish bastard? O_O The Sam I remember from the early seasons was selfless, always putting others first. This Sam? Well, he'll try and CONVINCE you that that's what he's doing... willingly sacrificing himself to go after Lilith... but that's not what it's all about and tonight proved it. Notice how he said, "It's always been your show, Dean... let me... let ME..." It's like a pathetic spoiled brat of a child trying to beg for attention. Honestly, I expected more out of Sam :/

I just... I really don't have anything left to say about Sam that's good anymore other than the fact that I happened to agree with little!Sammy. How COULD he do that to himself? To sink so low. It reminds me of what Dean said before... "If I didn't know you, I'D want to hunt you."

[identity profile] kitsu84.livejournal.com 2009-05-08 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
The boys may very well find their back to one-another. That possibility isn't off the table yet.

*huggles*

All these fangirls were worried that Castiel was coming between Sam and Dean, but it was Ruby.
THANK YOU. Someone finally said it.

It really makes me wonder what they did to him up there.
From what I can gather, he was brutally tortured. And I don't like that prospect one bit, because as my mother said earlier, that sort of blurs the line between who's good and who's evil.

OMG! NO! even though I too was mad at Bobby in this episode, I don't want to see him go.
I wasn't mad at him. I just didn't agree with him, and his thoughts on letting Sam continue on with his demon!blood addiction. Something about that was a little OOC for Bobby...

And about Sam strangling Dean... that really kinda reminded me of "Asylum" which was nice, cause of the throwback... but that is the second time (at least) in four years that we've seen how willing Sam is to kill his brother... and when push comes to shove... Dean is NEVER willing to kill Sam... "Born Under a Bad Sign".... not once did Dean even consider killing Sam. The closest Dean has come is in this episode saying that he would rather see Sam die than become a monster... and yet there's Sam, choking the life out of his brother... just like in the first season when he pulled the trigger in "Asylum".
See, I had forgiven him for 'Asylum' because I shrugged it off as nothing more than the effects of that ghost. But this here tonight? Yeah, that was SAM.

STAR TREK TOMORROW!
OHMYGOD, I KNOW. *flaaaaaaails*

BINGO. You hit the nail on the head, my dear. What happened tonight was 100 percent Sam. No 'ghostly effects', no 'siren'... Just Sam.

And honestly? When did Sam turn into such a selfish bastard? O_O The Sam I remember from the early seasons was selfless, always putting others first. This Sam? Well, he'll try and CONVINCE you that that's what he's doing... willingly sacrificing himself to go after Lilith... but that's not what it's all about and tonight proved it.

Another thing which demonstrated just how selfish he has become was what Mary said to him about Dean "being weak".

I just... I really don't have anything left to say about Sam that's good anymore other than the fact that I happened to agree with little!Sammy. How COULD he do that to himself? To sink so low. It reminds me of what Dean said before... "If I didn't know you, I'D want to hunt you."
I'm with you there. I've gotten to the point with Sam where I honestly don't care about what happens to him anymore. It's going to take something TREMENDOUS to get me to forgive him. I'M DONE.

[identity profile] x5649.livejournal.com 2009-05-08 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
I wasn't mad at him. I just didn't agree with him, and his thoughts on letting Sam continue on with his demon!blood addiction. Something about that was a little OOC for Bobby...
Maybe saying I was mad at him was a bit strong...

See, I had forgiven him for 'Asylum' because I shrugged it off as nothing more than the effects of that ghost. But this here tonight? Yeah, that was SAM.
I had too... but thinking about it along with what he did tonight just made me mad again... but oh tonight was a breaking point... I am SO mad at him, which I know is the idea... they wrote it that way. I guess its a good thing I'm mad at him, I have an emotional interest in the show. (or its a bad thing and means i'm unstable.)

Oh, your icon reminded me... I lied when I said the closest Dean came was tonight... which I guess its kinda true... but there was also the fight in "Sex and Violence" but even then... EVEN THEN! Dean couldn't do it... doesn't have anything to do with Bobby killing the siren... I really don't think even under the siren's influence that Dean could have really killed Sam... Sam on the other hand apparently doesn't need any influence... -angryface-




And I am not the only one mad at Sam -points to icon- Spock is angry too! (and a bit insulted that Dean said Angels come from Vulcan)

Hmm... Perhaps it was meant to turn the audience against Sam. I hadn't thought of that.

I really don't think even under the siren's influence that Dean could have really killed Sam.
Honestly, I don't think he would either. Dean's love for Sam is - well, it's unbreakable. I'd be willing to bet that he still goes after that jerk in next week's episode.

Spock is angry too! (and a bit insulted that Dean said Angels come from Vulcan)
"They come on like shady politicians from planet Vulcan."

OMG, THAT LINE. The was the BEST part of tonight's episode BY FAR. Seriously, I was doubled over I was laughing so hard. Oh, Dean. Oh, Spock.

OMG! I know... I was laughing too! I totally have to make a Spock/Cas icon now... or maybe a banner... or something! with that line in it... ooooo maybe I'll make that my new LJ header :D


btw... thought with your icon... that looks like the reaction spock would have to hearing that angels were seedy politicians from the planet Vulcan.... lmao.

-HAPPYSIGH- I needed that after this episode.

[identity profile] aphoticdivinity.livejournal.com 2009-05-08 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
I actually have the PERFECT Sam song in mind now... I've been debating whether I should make it into one angsty!brother fanmix, but really who wants terrible angst between those two? LOL I kind of have a slew of songs tossed together though, but this one just... DEFINES what Sam is now :/

[identity profile] kitsu84.livejournal.com 2009-05-08 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
ORLY? Care to share?

I approve of this idea. Although the epic awesomeness of a banner containing both Castiel and Spock may very make LJ explode. And if that happens, I'm sending blame your way. :P

You literally just made me snort my Mountain Dew. XD

I needed that after this episode.
Oh, you and me both, bb. You and me both.

And I will gladly accept said blame... I'm definitely working on that tomorrow.

You literally just made me snort my Mountain Dew. XD
It does though!


And a question then.... does that make Spock and angel? Or Castiel a Vulcan?..... Sheldon Cooper requires an answer!
