6.20 Holy God. I can't even.

Okay, so all I know about this episode is that it's an Edlund episode, which makes me worry, and judging by the few comments I've seen go by it appears to be either about Cas, or at least features him in some important way.

This is the episode before the finale, so let me just say: OH GOD.

Oh dear. Season 5 flashback. This can't be good.

And a holy oil reminder. I can't see this going well.

Oh, Death!

CROWLEY! \o/

Oh, that's a beautiful shot of Cas...

...

Meep, Cas.

"Big plans for that fish..." Sounds like something Gabriel would say.

I love how Cas' memories/flashbacks are an old black & white film. Gorgeous.

Aw, Jimmy...

"It was averted by two boys, an old drunk and a fallen angel. The grand story, and we ripped up the ending, and the rules, and destiny, leaving nothing but freedom and choice."

Definitely an Edlund speech.

Who are you talking to, Cas?

FOURTH WALL BREAKAGE!

Which goes REALLY well with the shattering glass of the credit opener! Nice.


"The Man Who Would Be King"

OH GOD OH GOD THAT MOVIE MADE ME CRY SO HARD WHEN I WAS A GIRL.

I wonder who's Peachy and who's Danny? It pretty much ends badly, no matter which one you're talking about... OH GOD.

Edlund, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

Yay Cas popping into the car!

Oh, Cas. You're such a bad liar. :(

Subtle, Cas. No, Dean hasn't found anything.

"But Cas, you'll call, right? If you get into real trouble?"

*cries*

I don't know who I feel worse for.


EWWW! Crowley. That is nasty.

Okay, that is even MORE nasty.

Wow, Crowley, you are one disturbed son of a bitch.

"You let the hounds mangle the pheasant, and now I'm up to my elbows in it." Hee!

Crowley has a point, Cas.


Woah, I totally called it. :D

Hee! Assbutt!

Eww. Slow-motion exploding angel.

Oh, Cas, what did you do?

CAS! Oh, Christ. YOU DID TRY TO PULL SAM UP FROM THE CAGE! OH YOU POOR, WEE BASTARD!

OH MY GOD! I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS POSSIBLE TO LOVE CAS MORE AND YET I DO AND ALSO MY HEART IS BREAKING BECAUSE CAAAAAAAAS!

THE FUCKING ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS!

*weeps*

Of course Crowley wants the boys dead...

"Am I the only piece on the board who doesn't underestimate those denim-wrapped nightmares?!?"

LOL Oh, Crowley, never change! \o\

Crowley's having a bad day.

Oops, Devil's Trap. Again.

I am really not on board with this torture thing, even if it's demons.

Nice that the demons are turing into monsters.

Sam is looking awfully... robo!Sam-ish during this session.

Oh, Bobby. Ew.

"He's our friend and we're lying to him through our teeth."

Oh, Dean. *cries*

OH FUCK!

"This makes you Lois Lane."

WHAT? Wouldn't that make DEAN Lois Lane?

Demon Dispatcher From Hell! I love it.

Ellsworth? TWO DEADWOOD REFERENCES IN A ROW?

Oops.

Cas, destroying your henchmen is not a good plan if you want things to keep going.

Oh, Dean, what have you seen?

...

I like Cas' favourite heaven too.

Aw, Cas, I love your wee free will speech!

"Freedom is a length of rope. God wants you to hang yourself with it."

Teaching poetry to fish. Hee! Oh, Cas.

Raphael hangs out in who's apocalypse? It's obviously a name in American politics that I'm missing.

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

"You never look like you're joking."

Oh no oh no oh no...

Oh, CRAP!

Poor Cas, bleeding in the grass.

Deeeeeeeannn... *smooshes him*

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING CAS THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT.

Oh, Cas only comes when Dean prays, and yet he won't show himself. Meep. :(

HOLY CRAP I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!

YAY CAS! GO YOU FOR MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION.

Oh, oh Cas.

*cries*

OH CAS! YOU TOTALLY GAVE YOURSELF AWAY WITH THE KRYPTONITE/SUPERMAN THING.

OH GOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDD!

Eep. Crowley has a point, Cas, but I am so pleased that the Winchesters are the one thing anchoring you to still being good.

Yeesh.

"This is not how synergy works!" LOL, Crowley.


Oh, Cas. Going to Dean and yet still wanting to spare him. (For a second I thought he might go to Joshua in the Garden)

Aaaand enter Crowley, ever the dealmaker. King of the crossroads, baby!

"I'm an angel, you ass! I don't have a soul to sell."

BWAH, Cas!

Crowley IS very interesting. And also a very good salesman.

JESUS, CAS, TALK ABOUT HUBRIS.

*dies*

OH MY GOD, CROWLEY! I LOVE YOUR NEW VERSION OF HELL!

Oh, Cas, Crowley is totally manipulating you. :(

OH CAS! IT'S A FOREGONE CONCLUSION BUT I STILL HOPE YOU SAY NO!

WTF?

OH GOD CAS DON'T LET CROWLEY LOAN YOU SOULS! JESUS H. CHRIST!


OH, JESUS. OH GOD, CAS IS IN A RING OF HOLY FIRE AND THE WINCHESTERS DID IT OH SHIT.

CAS CAN'T EVEN LOOK DEAN IN THE EYE.

*cries and cries and cries*

OH, DEAN. :(

OH MY GOD HE TOLD SAM ABOUT THE RAISING.

D: D: D:

You did do a piss-poor job of it, Cas! *cries more*

OH GOD I REALLY HOPE HE DIDN'T LEAVE SAM SOULLESS ON PURPOSE! I DON'T THINK HE DID BUT IT'S A BAD SIGN THAT HE WON'T SAY SO!

Oh, oh Cas. Oh Cas, you totally made the wrong choices!

Caaaaassssss! D:

Obviously you learned nothing from Dean and Sam: DON'T MAKE DEALS WITH THE DEVIL, YOU ASS!

CAS' FAAAAAAACE!

OH MY GOD!

THAT'S A LOT OF DEMONS!

OH NOOOOOOOOO!

Crowley always did know how to make an entrance.

"Nary a hair on their artfully-tousles heads." Hee! Crowley.

Oh, Cas. Owing Crowley is not a good thing. :(

CAS THIS IS NOT A GOOD TIME FOR AN IDENTITY CRISIS.

Bobby needs to brush up on his angel-proofing.

Aw, Dean. Maybe treating Cas like a child isn't a good plan. But you do have a point.

CAS DEAN IS RIGHT JUST STOP!

OH GOD MY HEART!

Oh, Cas. :(


...


Meep.


Excuse me, I have to go wibble in a corner forever now.

Pretty much all of this.

*cuddles metaphorical Cas in my corner of "OMFCWHHHHY"

I'll admit that I didn't enjoy certain aspects of this episode but this entire post is made of win. ♥

This episode has slain me. Both Cas and Dean broke my heart.

But, that said, I love how Cas is talking to God, but looking right into the camera, as if he's talking directly to us. After all, we, as viewers, are the ones judging him. I thought that angle was pretty neat.

I think Dean said Sam was Lois Lane because of his hair.

I really liked that this episode was like a real old noir film with Cas like the detective narrator, it went really well with the rest of the season.

I loved this episode for a lot of reasons. We get to see things from Cas' perspective (FINALLY), and a lot of questions get answered. I love how both Dean and Cas are crushed by their breaking bromance! *cries*

Totally with you on this!

Right there with ya , babe!
Loved it! Supernatural had me clutching my chest and hiding my face and yelling at the TV!It was terrible and gross and and wonderful! I so happy!

Pretty much everything you said. If I think about the kryptonite and Castiel giving himself away because he made a reference and he actually did it right, I start bawling all over again. ;____________; but yes, basically THIS.

Ken Lay was the CEO of Enron when the securities scandal happened. He cost 20,000 people their jobs, numerous families their life savings, and investors billions of dollars. He was convicted of fraud, but died of a heart attack on a ski vacation before his sentencing.

He did have a very close relationship with the Bush family, and Dubya was at his funeral.

Just to give perspective to that scene.

Thank you! I knew I was missing something important there.

"Am I the only piece on the board who doesn't underestimate those denim-wrapped nightmares?!?" LOL, I didn't catch the end of that sentence so thanks for putting that in. The list of demons they've taken down is pretty impressive. It's a wonder it's taken this long for evil to take them seriously!

So much agreement with everything you said. Oh Cas. :(

Only one episode left, seriously? *Gears up for another freakin' heartbreak.*

[identity profile] primrose-1.livejournal.com 2011-05-07 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I KNOW! It was heartbreaking to see all the decision Cas made to lead to all of this mess! He's got lies on top of lies now, and it's not good!

My thoughts when I saw this episode, exactly.

*cowers with you in the corner*

[identity profile] hsifeng.livejournal.com 2011-05-09 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it wrong that I predicted 90% of this and now I HATE MYSELF FOR BEING RIGHT?

*sigh*

I have never loved Cas as much as I loved the boys. Not until last night. Maybe I only love imperfect things.

*weeps*

PS: Crowley, I both love and hate you right now. You bastard. (hugs Crowley poppet)
