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 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. :(

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.

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.

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

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."

As of Right now I agree with everything you said How Dare SAM say and do the things he has done to Sam. Even at the end before Dean called him a monster and Sam threw the first punch....Dean still was willing to go with Sam to stop Lilith if Ruby didn't...I'm sorry I am done with Sam as of right now I just can't take anymore......Oh and Ruby must must die.
Heartbreaking Episode to say the least.

On Dean: Yes yes yes. Friend speaks my mind. He is in need of hugs in a huge way.

On Bobby: Yeah, I didn't really agree with him, but I saw his point. He was really being the adult of the group. Loves him... Was also uber worried about him and Sam's confrontation.

On Ruby: FRIEND SPEAKS MY MIND LIKE WOAH! Yes, death to the demon whore please!

On Sam: You bring the baseball bat and I'll bring the shovel.

On Castiel: He so is trying to make it seem like he has totally been re indoctrinated and it is so eating him up inside.

ps. I love your new layout!

I think I need to re-watch the ep again later because I'm kinda just all kinda frozen in the head and all not so articulate and just gah. Ya know?

But yes, the choking!! I was seriously afraid for a moment there that Sam would really fucking kill Dean. And just seriously. How can one even describe that?

It's like yeah, you think your big brother who has always been there for you, sold his fucking soul to hell for you and everything is weak. Yeah, he calls you a monster.

But dude, you're drinking fucking demon blood of a manipulative demonic bitch! And just seriously. I have no words. IN TWO LANGUAGES!!

Sorry if that didn't make much sense, just when I'm really shocked I'm not articulate and I'd just be waving my hands at shit and my mouth opening and closing and shit. Bleurgh.

Dammit, Sam! I was seeing where both of you were coming from, until you went and tried to choke your brother. He shouldn't have told you were monster - I was kind of surprised too - but it's hard to see that someone you love has become someone else and can find any sort of excuse for the change. You really shouldn't have tried to kill him.

Besides, I think that Sam is still unable to admit that he's chasing down Lilith because she's his obsession much like YED was John's. Though John cared about his children so much that he willingly offered himself to Azazel, to save his older son. Instead, Sam is still trying to hide it behind the pretence that he really cares about the Apocalypse.
Otherwise he would have considered to kill Ruby - she's the only one he can suck blood from - and going to kill Lilith with his brother.

I think I agree with everything you said.
And... OMG! Did you see when Castiel avoided Dean's eyes when Dean asked him about what he wanted to tell him last time? That totally broke my heart into pieces.
Damn it. Why the writers did this to us? D:
