6.06 insert flailing here

Okay, I'm actually catching a later screening of the show, so don't expect anything here for another two hours or so.

In the meantime, I'll be over here, working on my Reverse Big Bang™.

Okay, here we go. An hour late, but better than not at all, right? Right.

Oh, no. The stream is kind of freezing up. This does not bode well. Recap of last week, so nothing really new.

STOP FREEZING, STREAM!

FUUUUCK!

Heh. Biggerson's again.

Okay, stupid girl. Don't be a jackass. Call him, don't call him, whatever.

Oh, poor kid. That was uncalled for.

She's really not a 3. A 6 at the very least.

OLD LADIES ARE EVIL. IT'S OFFICIAL.

MY STREAM IS STILL FREEZING! THIS IS NOT ON!

Ew.

Good thing Biggerson's doesn't exist, or I'd never eat there again.

Oh, Dean. :(

Bobby, listen to Dean! He knows what he's talking about!

"Just don't shoot him yet, all right?" LOL, Bobby.

Oh, man, Lisa hasn't called back. Yes, Sam, it does suck. Too bad you don't mean it.

GODDAMN THIS FREEZING THIS IS GETTING OLD.

Unf. Dean in a suit.

KITTY!

"A new, more caring administration." *dies*

Goddamn, Dean, why so handsome?

CREEPY!SAM. AAAAAH! "Do you know what a 'tell' is?"

GAAAAAAH!

HOLY CRAP I JUST RECOILED FROM MY SCREEN IN HORROR!

SAM STOP GETTING OFF ON THAT EWW OH MY GOD I CAN'T WATCH THIS!

I feel sick.

*is faint*

I'm so getting alcohol at the next commercial break holy fuck!

OH NO A DENTIST SCENE CHRIST THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE GOOD.

ACK!

Eww. Daughter! EWWW! NO! OH MY GOD.

*flails*

I THINK I'M GRATEFUL MY STREAM FROZE BEFORE I COULD WATCH THAT.

*goes to find alcohol*

Okay, we're back.

Unsurprisingly, Bobby has no idea what it is.

Worst case scenario: maybe it's just Sam.

Oh, Dean. :(

Who're you calling?

SAM! STOP GETTING OFF ON THIS! YOU ARE WAY TOO GLEEFUL.

I am so rewatching this when the stream isn't freezing up.

Dean volunteering to do research. Yeah, Sam, I'd be puzzled too.

As much as I hate this new Sam, I LOVE the wacky expressions Jared keeps making. They make me giggle.

"I'd have murdered him too." AIEEEE!

Dean, bunny, at least clear your browser cache! You think Sam won't see what you've been up to?

GOD DAMN STREAM! GNARRRRR!

Harry's House of Horns? Really?

STOP FREEZING!

"What makes it one in a billion?"

YAHTZEE!

Yay! Gabriel's Horn of Truth! The Trickster lives on!

YAY CAS!

CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!

Cas looks apologetic. That's new.

STOP FREEZING!

Aww, Dean and Cas having a drink together. It's like old times!

"I'm at war."

I don't like the sound of "regrettable things," Cas.

OUCH. I want to wrap him in a blanket and keep him safe from everything forever. And maybe feed him soup.

"Everywhere." *dies*

Oh, Cas!

Yay Cas will make inquiries! I KNEW YOU'D COME THROUGH, BUDDY!

"Dr. Giggles." Blick.

Damn, Sam. You are seriously rocking the creep factor.

Where did the bodies go?

Oh, Dean, be careful what you wish for, bunny.

STOP FREEZING GOD DAMMIT!

Dude, what is with all the political commercials on this stream? I AM CANADIAN, I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR LOCAL ELECTION, MICHIGAN.

And we're back. Dean has a little liquid courage, and a girl is now throwing herself at him.

"Good luck with that." HAH, DEAN. Way to be a one-woman man, dude! I always knew you were a golden retriever at heart. :)

OH MY GOD BOBBY LOVES TORI SPELLING! PEDICURES! *dies*

DEAN IS TOTALLY BOBBY'S FAVOURITE AND WE ALL KNEW IT!

(Poor Sam. He's never been anybody's favourite.)

NO ONE WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT BOBBY'S FIRST GIRLFRIEND! Except, y'know, maybe me.

STOP FREEZING! AAAAAH!

I know this blond chick. If my stream would unfreeze, maybe I'd recognize her.

Why are all cats on shows called "Mittens?"

Ah, cheating boyfriend leads to an obsession with finding out the truth.

The Impala will never not be beautiful.

Oh no. DEAN DON'T TALK TO LISA DURING THE TRUTH CURSE!

Yeah, Dean, you did shove her kid. She has a point.

Oh, Dean, you can totally explain.

"As long as he's in your life you're never going to be happy."

STAB ME THROUGH THE HEART, WHY DON'T YOU SHOW?

HOLY FUCK MY HEART!

I'm sure Dean would be making me cry right now, EXCEPT MY STREAM FROZE UP.

EWW! SKULL OF MITTENS!

Moment of truth?

DUDE IT TOTALLY DOESN'T WORK ON SAM! OH MY GOD!

Hee! Terminator!Sammy.

SAM YOU ARE TOTALLY LYING!

SHOW THERE IS NOTHING LEFT IN MY CHEST TO STAB, QUIT TRYING!

Oh, Dean.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, Sam. Jesus.

The disadvantage of live stream is commercial breaks.

Summoning spell. Which god did she summon? Ooh, Veritas. Nifty. I didn't even know that was a god. Wonder if Show invented it.

"Naturally." LOL

Attention whore. *dies*

Ooh, the newscaster! I wondered about her when I first caught her on TV.

"Frank Talk." LOL

"She's creepy." Actually, she kind of reminds me of Palin.

Damn, Sam, you are FOCUSED.

Doberman!

CAMERA FLARE! IT'S THE LASER EYES! MAYBE SHE'S A MANDROID!

*calms down*

She dresses a bit like Jackie O.

"I bet inside it's chock full of creep."

OH MY GOD SAM WHERE DID YOU GET DOG BLOOD AND NO I DON'T WANT TO KNOW EITHER AAAAAAAH!

STOP FREEZING, GOD DAMN IT!

KITTY!

Nice house. Can I have it if you're going to gank the deity?

GOD STOP FREEZING!

Same illustration as before. Kind of obvious, there, Veritas. Maybe you shouldn't keep an effigy of yourself in your own house.

OH GOD GROSS.

The boys are tied up. Must be ~~Thursday~~ Friday.

Fake fingernails are very very fake.

Of course she'd like the tongue better.

Can't argue with her there. They totally are the gold standard for lying.

YAY! SAM IS SAWING FREE!

Uh oh. She's asking for the truth. This cannot end well.

Yeah, that bit about Dean wanting to off you in your sleep, Sam? You might want to figure out how to fix that. Without hurting Dean. Or anyone else.

"I ain't a father, I'm a killer."

OH GOD DEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAN!

Mallory to your Mickey? I don't understand that reference.

DUDE, SAM IS LYING TO VERITAS.

I missed what she said and it was important!

This fight scene is probably awesome, EXCEPT I CAN'T SEE IT.

WOAH! EVIL CAT WOMAN! THAT IS SOME SCARY SHIT, MAN.

Dear Show, please don't leave me hanging. You have about five minutes left. PLEASE THROW ME A BONE, HERE, I AM BEGGING!

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

Oh, oh Sam. I wish I knew if you were sincere...

Dude... I'm not sure. AND IT'S FROZEN AGAIN.

DEAN I WOULDN'T PUT DOWN THAT KNIFE JUST YET.

Oh, YIKES!

Have we not established that beat-downs NEVER do what they're supposed to in the Winchester world?

FUCK! IT'S FROZEN AGAIN!

Um.

I'm not sure about this. I don't really want a replay of Dean locking Sam in the panic room (or the equivalent thereof), and that's what this seems to be shaping up to.

Okay, waiting for the promo for next ep. SPOILERS HEREAFTER.

CAAAAAS!

Oh, man. I wish they hadn't given away the reason for why Sam is the way he is in the goddamn preview. FEH.

Dude, who IS that? Is that Raphael with a new meatsuit?

Okay. Is it next Friday, yet?

Did your CW switch shows to an hour later? Mine did and I HATE it with a passion on Friday nights. I have to suffer through The Simpsons at 7:00 Central. Ugh!!

No, I don't get it on my TV. It streams on my computer, but I came home too late to catch the first stream. Luckily for me it stream again one hour later.

*watches clock*

Sorry about not all the freezing. It makes my waiting an extra hour seem trivial.

Mickey and Mallory were the characters in Stone's "Natural Born Killers." That's the reference.

I love your recaps!

*g*

Thanks! They're mostly incoherent flailing at the show, but hey, at least they're entertaining, right?

And thank you for the reference check, there. I've never seen that movie.

the guy that looks like Raphael was the guy in the vision last episode. That Dean had when he was a vampire.

also, the preview, it looks like Dean, Sam, and Cas = in Bobby's kitchen. So no panic room.

Edited 2010-10-30 03:25 (UTC)

Oh, I totally missed that he was the vampire guy. I WAS MESMERIZED BY THE TALKING SKYLIGHT, OKAY? ;)

I was also referring to the panic room metaphorically, in this case. As in, I don't want Dean to just strap Sam down and beat him (physically or mentally) for his own good because he somehow deserves it. I'd just like there to be at least some compassion for the guy who's like this because he took down Lucifer and saved the world.

The talking skylight was shiny (to steal a phrase from another show).

Yes, they need to learn from their mistakes already. At least it looked like they were actually actively trying to do something (Or Cas rather. Did anyone else have a flashback to episode 6.03?), unlike season 4 where they just left him down there to rot because they couldn't think of a better plan (Other than possibly fatal withdrawal).

I'm just hoping they fix it, preferably before the season finale.

With that said, I'm loving this season anyway.

Yes, good Lord. Like you said, at least Cas appears to be actively trying, which makes me hopeful.

I'm liking the season better and better as it progresses.

On the road so couldn't catch it, but can't wait until I get home and can. Especially after reading your commentary...always makes me go....gahhhhh...why aren't I watching....and way more eager to watch

*cries and clings*

Will wait for your reaction...

Yeah, I thought the preview spoilers were excessive also. Removed a chance for further speculation and debate.

Although sometimes the preview just gives away the boys' erroneous working theory, so...

Still, when Sam looked straight at Dean's cursed face and lied, it sent a shiver down my spine. Am TOTALLY looking forward to next week.

Sometimes, I agree, but Cas is very rarely wrong when it comes to that sort of thing.

I got shivers too! Gaaaaah...

Is it Friday yet?

Actually, Cas was wrong about Cupid in 5.14.

I really doubt he's wrong this time, though. A major supernatural creature of any stripe would have a hard time mistaking THAT.

Freezing is terrible when you're watching Supernatural. Very terrible.

I loved the episode, it was very very good =)
Sam was completely creepy though. Especially when he was interviewing the sister, I almost wanted to run aeay from the Tv.

I was happy they gave away what's wrong with Sam in the promo though, now I can stop thinking about what it is, and watch the show a little bit less tense, haha.

Thanks for the review =)

God, the freezing, I CAN'T EVEN... anyway. I'm going to rewatch the download and see all the bits I missed.

I kind of enjoy the tension when I watch. It's the reason I try to stay away from previews: they give away too much.

Sam creeped me out like nobody's business! AUGH!

"She's creepy." Actually, she kind of reminds me of Palin.

Must admit those two don't contradict as far as I'm concerned.

Mallory to your Mickey? I don't understand that reference.

I could be wrong, but I think that's a reference to 'Natural Born Killers'

Oh, they don't contradict for me either. It was just an observation. :)

You're not wrong. Someone else pointed that out above. Thanks!

God, I'm so in love with this show again.

And Sam totally is somebody's favorite: Becky! The crazed fangirl! And some of those fanboys.

I laughed out loud when Bobby said Dean was his favorite. Everyone on this show is a -girl of some sort ;)

So happy to see Cas, so bummed not to see him again during it. The problem with their whole new "praying for castiel" thing is that....well, I guess, why didn't they do it before, but also, you know, it gives them ample opportunities to turn into Lois Lane, like: "SAVE ME, SUPERMAN!" Which they won't do, which seems silly, because if *I* had an angel buddy and was in imminent danger of getting gruesomely killed, that's totally what I would do.

The newscaster goddess was so entirely meant to be Palin. Though the media was a bad place for a goddess of truth to go, hah.

Early in the episode, when the boys were in their fed suits, I was definitely enjoying the pretty. And then Sam went all creepy, and I said to my TV, "Way to ruin it, Sam. Now I have the heebiejeebies."

And the preview WAS kind of extreme on the spoiler side of things, and I am not EVEN a spoilerphobe. Not even a little bit. But it looks like we're getting more Cas, so I'll go with it. Also: I'm thinking that maybe this season we'll get a lot of smaller mysteries which then will get answers within a few episodes, y/y? Please? That will be very satisfying.

I also love that Dean's first assumption was that Sam was really Lucifer.

It was a cracky theory to begin with, but I've definitely had a soft spot for "Lucifer With Amnesia" as theories go. Not because I though they'd do it- just because it would be cool.

*shudder*

Being Becky's favourite is hardly something to write home about. ;) I actually like Becky, as it happens. I just mean in his "real" life, Sam has pretty much no one who likes (or liked, I should say) him for who he is. It kind of always felt like John and Dean loved him but also felt he was a responsibility, a burden of sorts that they were too nervous to let out of their sights for long —hence why John checked up on Sam even at Stanford. Anyone who's not related to Sam seems to gravitate toward Dean, who on the surface has an easygoing personality and lots of charisma.

Maybe Pastor Jim liked Sam better. ;)

The newscaster was meant to be Palin, wasn't she? I wasn't imagining it. They totally did her up that way! And yeah, the media is NOT a good place for truth, but she was really after all the tongues of liars. Blick.

THE SUITS! SAM RUINED THE HOTNESS! Although Dean looked damned fine. They have better suits this year than before, seems to me.

At least they've showed that "praying for Castiel" doesn't automatically work. Granted, Cas says he's not showing up because he doesn't have anything that'll help, but I think he's just busy with this war up in heaven. I am always good for MOAR CAS, and having a series of smaller mysteries resolved would be just fine by me.

I can't blame Dean for thinking that it was Lucifer (and I loved the cracky Lucifer-with-amnesia theory too!), although I think it was probably the least likely scenario ever.

It *was* the least likely scenario ever. As theories go, it was the runt of the litter. And everyone knows that the runt of the little is irresistible. Oh, that reminds me. Did you see the completely awesome response I got to that exact prompt over at the horror meme?

And yeah, the praying doesn't automatically work, but man, I'd be so willing to give it a try if trussed up by a hungry goddess. I guess the boys are just too macho ;)

It seems a little possible that Sam was John's favorite. I mean yes, dark destiny and all, but Dean's ridiculously low self-esteem had to come from somewhere! Though it's been a while since I've seen the earlier episodes. Wasn't it something the demons taunted Dean with?

Becky like Sam enough to count as half a dozen people. But, hmmm. Other people who liked Sam best...um...that one doctor (or was she the coroner?). Ruby, too, and the YED definitely (;-D). Missouri.

I don't know where Ellen falls on the list. Probably in Sam's court, too, just because of Jo, hah.

I honestly don't think John had a favourite. He managed to convince both his sons that the other son was his favourite (which is a hell of a parenting feat!), and screwed them both up for life, but it's my firm belief that he loved both boys so very differently that he couldn't have a favourite. Dean was his ally, his soldier, the one with whom he shared both the memory of a happier time and the memory of his dead wife, none of which he could share with Sam. Sam, on the other hand, is his baby, his treasure, the boy for whom Mary gave her life. It's why he and Dean worked so well together, and why he and Sam constantly butted heads, aside from the fact that Dean's personality obviously comes from his mother, while Sam's stems from his father.

In the end, what's telling is that John was willing to sell his soul for Dean, and was also willing to kill Sam before letting him turn evil. I don't know which breaks my heart more, because either way, he was destroying his sons (and especially Dean).

Dean's ridiculously low self-esteem comes directly from John's inability to give him any sort of validation outside of hunting. If Dean does a good job, he gets brief verbal praise. Otherwise? John was silent on the topic. So naturally Dean grew up thinking that he was only as good as his last job, and was constantly afraid of screwing up. There's a really long meta in this, which I may write one day when I have enough brain to do it justice.

(Poor Sam. He's never been anybody's favourite.)

:( That made me very sad, for some reason.

(Okay, he's Azazel's favou - oh god. I don't even feel like joking about this).

This episode began meh but ended ZOMG IS NEXT FRIDAY HERE YET?

Also, oh, Sam, Sam, Sam. :( :( :( /o\

I makes me sad, too. Sam's always been someone's burden, someone's obligation. Apart from Jess, I guess, and we all know what happened to her...

Gah. Is it Friday yet?

Also, oh, Sam, Sam, Sam. :( :( :( /o\

I agree entirely.

How TF did I miss this? It's so funnay! LMFAO

Hee!

Welcome to me while watching the Show. This is all stream of consciousness flailing. ;)

Oh, man. I wish they hadn't given away the reason for why Sam is the way he is in the goddamn preview. FEH.

They might be playing with us and Cas could be wrong - but if they're not, then I called it after 6.01. I hope I have a record of that somewhere.

The thing I'm enjoying most about this storyline is Jared Padalecki playing Sam playing Dean-and-our-Sammy. It's so gorram creepy! He's just that bit off, so we can see how he's trying to come across, but he's missing it. And when he drops the act and talks about 'tells' he's terrifying. No wonder having no feelings makes him a better hunter. He doesn't care about the victims, so he's got nothing interfering with his analysis of the case. Huh, now that I think about, he's almost Sherlock Holmes-like at the moment. Interesting.

I can't wait to see what happens next!

Loved your stream of consciouness. Except I disagree on one point: Sam has been someone's favorite. He is DEAN's favorite. That's what makes this all so sad.

I'm not sure about that, tbh. He's Dean's brother, and Dean loves him, but Dean's always seen him as a responsibility, too. And I don't know if you can count the brothers as being each other's "favourite" in that sense. They're all tangled up in each other, so much that I think they have trouble differentiating where they end and their brother begins.

Semantics, I guess.
