"Every gun makes its own tune."
After all the hype, I am seriously worried that this episode will fall FAR short of my expectations.
See, the problem is that I am a HUGE fan of Westerns. My father started me on my first Spaghetti Western when I was five years old (yes, I was traumatized, that didn't stop him). Since then I have gone through pretty much everything John Wayne ever did, everything by Sergio Leone, read a metric buttload of Louis L'Amour, and lots and lots of stuff in between.
In short? I have HIGH STANDARDS when it comes to Westerns, and I am duly worried about poor Show as a result.
*takes a breath*
Okay, here we go.
Aww, Season 2 flashback! I love Season 2.
Season 4 flashback. I MISS CAS' HAIR!
I am really tired of the female baddies being waif-like little brunettes. I miss Ruby 1.0 and Meg 1.0.
Sunrise, Wyoming? That's... yeah. Okay.
Oh God, a showdown already? Damn, Show, you waste no time at all.
EEEEEEK! IT'S DEEEEAAAN!
Okay, Show, I'm on board.
OH MY GOD THE MUSIC IS RIGHT OUT OF A SPAGHETTI WESTERN AND SHOW I THINK I LOVE YOU OH GOD. *flails*
AND THE BURNING MAP!
I THINK I MAY WRITE THIS WHOLE THING IN CAPSLOCK IF THIS CONTINUES.
Okay. 48 hours earlier. *breathes*
Aw, Sam is all excited. I love watching him get all cranked up about geek stuff.
CAS! CAS IS IN THIS EPISODE!
Oh, a Campbell family library! Bobby will be able to add to his collection. It'll be great.
Boo! Stupid green band across my screen! I can't see!
PHOENIX?
Dude. Show. What?
Also, I LOVE how much emphasis Show puts on research.
UNF. Sam and the HANDS.
Oh! Samuel Colt's journal!
I LOVE HOW THE BOYS ARE GEEKING OUT OVER THE JOURNAL.
Star Trek IV!
OH MY GOD BOBBY ONLY WATCHED DEEP SPACE NINE SHOW I LOOOOOVE YOUUUUUUU!
"Time travel. That's a reasonable plan?"
Oh, Bobby, you said it. :D
Cas needs a cell phone. I hate this praying thing.
Jeannie? Rachel. LOL
Hee! Miss Moneypenny!
Aww, yay Cas! :)
Wow, Cas has totally been getting busy while he's not on earth.
And LOOK HE'S ALL DOE-EYED NOW.
Hah. Time limit.
"Well, the answer to your question can best be expressed as a series of partial differential equations."
"Aim lower." I LOVE YOU, BOBBY!
DEAN WENT COSTUME SHOPPING!
DEAN HAS A WESTERN FETISH!
OH MY GOD, SHOW I LOVE YOU SO HARD.
OH MY GOD SAM'S SHIRT IS EMBROIDERED! YES, SAM, YOU LOOK STUPID BUT ALSO HOT!
SERAPE!
*flails*
I love how Bobby AND Sam each set a timer.
Oh, Dean NO. No saloon girls.
It's horse—AUTHENTICITY.
Oh, a HANGIN' JUDGE.
Elias Finch, eh? So they're looking for a bird that's associated with fire, and this guy with a bird's name has just threatened all these people with burning. I wonder.
Aw, Dean, your serape isn't as authentic as you thought. That's okay, I like your waistcoat just as much.
MARSHAL CLINT EASTWOOD. Oh, my God. WALKER, Texas Ranger.
*dies*
Oh, Dean. Made because of your clean shirt.
Hee! Dean looks appalled.
"This is not awesome."
AWW, SAM PATS HIM COMFORTINGLY ON THE SHOULDER.
Sasparilla, Dean, really?
Darla's his best girl, huh? Yikes.
OH MY GOD SAM'S FAAAACE! Like he doesn't know whether to rescue Dean or piss himself laughing.
Screaming from the next room, and CUE WESTERN MUSIC!
So I guess that's what a phoenix is. A guy who can burn people alive. I guess I sort of called it?
Oh my God, Dean, THAT WAS A TERRIBLE PUN.
Ride 'em, cowboy is an even MORE TERRIBLE PUN.
"I'm okay!"
Yes, Dean, that poor horse, I agree. Sam's a big 'un, for one thing.
Also, lemme tell you, the bits of Sam and Dean trying to fit in are SERIOUSLY hitting my embarrassment squicks.
Oops, sorry sheriff.
CAAAAS!
Oh, summoned by Rachel.
WHAT DIRTY LITTLE SECRET?
Oh my God! Cas is doing Regrettable Things™.
Oh, no. Cas, don't fight with your lieutenants! She's probably right, you know.
Oh. :(
CAS YOU KILLED AN ANGEL! D: D: D: D:
OH, CAS.
OH GOD I AM FILLED WITH SADNESS. CAAAAAAAASSSSSS.
JESUS THIS SHOW IS TRYING TO KILL ME.
CAAAAAAASSSS!
And somehow I now care less about what's happening in Westernland. That makes me really sad.
Actually, Dean, you do look good.
YAY! DEAN IS THE SHERIFF!
They all think you're a useless greenhorn, but that's okay Dean, I believe in you. :D
Is that Colt?
Apparently these guys want to know the same thing too.
DEMONS! DEEEEMOOOOONS!
I love that he's unfazed by this.
Why are the demons threatening him with guns? LAME, DEMONS, LAME.
Oh, the COLT!
"Pilgrim?"
Oh, Dean.
I love how Dean's usual pep talk is pretty much incomprehensible to the locals.
UNF, Sam, how do you manage to look hot while still really dorky?
Don't sugar-coat it or anything, Sam.
"A giant from the future with some magic brick doesn't exactly give you the vapours."
*dies*
Hee! Nice pep talk, Sam.
"Oh, THAT gun."
LOL
You are a lying liar who lies, Samuel Colt!
Oh, Samuel Colt, Sam has PLENTY of mileage.
SAMMY! SAMMY LOOKS SO EARNEST! HOW CAN YOU REFUSE?
Aw, Cas.
CAS YOU'RE LYING AGAIN. D:
LOL
Oh, Bobby.
OH MY GOD WE DON'T WANT BOBBY TO EXPLODE THAT WOULD BE BAD.
Also, I suspect there's an extra catch, there. Why does Cas want to suddenly touch Bobby's soul?
SMART!DEAN
Iron is a common monster problem. \o/
Aw. Monster with a sob story.
Oh, Dean, I don't think you really know what he is.
DEAN YOU REALLY SHOULD HAVE SEEN THAT COMING!
Is it me, or do ALL the supernatural baddies in this episode use guns? WTF?
Yay, the Colt!
Back to Bobby.
"Can't just strand those idjits in Deadwood, can we?"
I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE, SHOW, AND I APPROVE!
BAD TOUCH, CAS, BAD TOUCH! (And now Sam's little bondage episode with Cas doesn't seem quite so special. Boo.)
Oh, Dean, you are SUCH A BADASS OH MY GOD!
*dolphin noises*
GET THE ASHES! QUICK! AAAAAAH!
Too late.
Shit.
I was pretty sure they'd fail, though. :(
Who is knocking at the door?
What?
Oh, you are KIDDING ME.
PLEASE LET THERE BE A NOTE.
I LOVE THE MUSIC OH MY GOD I HAVE TO BREAK OUT MY SOUNDTRACK TO THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY AFTER THIS.
THINGAMAJIGGY! \o/
SOULONOSCOPY!
"We take the fight to her."
I have chills. CHILLS.
SHOW I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR ME TO LOVE YOU MORE BUT YOU HAVE PROVED ME WRONG!

Also, I find it hilarious that Sam was so averse to western wear given that Jared seems to wear western-style shirts all the damn time. LOL

Sam saying he has plenty of mileage made my heart swell with pride for him, oh Sam, you go Sam, four for Sam. <333 AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE A SPACEMAN, NOT ONE BIT, DEAN.
And perfect ending is perfect.

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE, SHOW, AND I APPROVE!
I COULD QUOTE THE ENTIRETY OF THAT REVIEW BUT I CHOOSE TO QUOTE THIS. ALSO BECAUSE DEADWOOD IS LIKE MY FAVORITE SHOW EVER EXISTED AND THAT MADE ME SO HAPPY I COULDN'T EVEN.
BUT FROM SOMEONE WHO SAW STAGECOACH WHEN SHE WAS TEN AND STARTED ON LEONE MOVIES WHEN SHE WAS ELEVEN AND NEVER LOOKED BACK OR DENIED HER WESTERN FETISH, I AGREE WITH THIS REVIEW ON ALL COUNTS.
Considering that I also have a Clint Eastwood fetish of seriously huge proportions, this made me EVEN EXTRA HAPPY.
ALSO, CAS.
MOSTLY, YOUR CONCLUSION.

And, yes, the post office is awesome.
I really want to know what the wiring on Sam's phone looks like after 160 years in a box. I mean, are any of the components intact?
no subject
I love that you can spell unfazed.
I wondered if Sam was gonna tell Samuel he'd been in Hell for almost 180 years. Course we didn't see the rest of their conversation and how Sam finally persuaded him about the gun.

My exact reaction. Fuck yes Bobby you own my soul.
In fact, all the Cas and Bobby interactions made me so happy. *_________*

I sorta watched most of this ep in 10 minute chunks going "arrrghh noo" quietly through a lot of it. Not that I didn't enjoy it, just...yeah. I can't watch people be embarrassed and not have that reaction.
