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?

*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.
