5.14 —Is that a pun I detect?

Hahaha, hat-tip to Jensen Ackles' really crappy movie. Yes, I said it, it was a bad movie. I watched it and kept saying, "Oh, Jensen, honey, I know you can act. I've seen it! What happened?"

Okay. Onto the show! As usual, this is unedited commentary, as I watch. You know the drill, SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT!

What does it say about me that I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop on this really cute pre-Valentine's date scene? Maybe it says more about the show than it does about me.

Hmm... good boy and good girl are suddenly possessed of inexplicable lust. So far I'm not surprised, but it's a promising start.

HOLYSHITOHMYGOD! EWWWWWWW! I read a short story about zombies once that was disturbingly like this. THEY'RE EATING EACH OTHER HOLY CRAP!

Thank God they're finally combing Sam's hair. It was seriously starting to look.... unkempt. That's a polite way of saying it.

So, Alice was a "nice girl." I wonder if that's part of how whoever it is chooses their victims. (Bunny rabbit!)

Interesting. We're ruling out possession of any kind right off the bat. That means New Creature™ time!

ROFL "Talk about codependent!" Oh, Dean, bunny, that is IRONIC! (Also, I'm vaguely amused that Dean is suddenly horrified by the act of eating, although, granted cannibalism)

"Unleash the Kracken!" *dies*

"Unattached Drifter Christmas." *snerk*

Holy shit what just happened to Dean? Last week he was dreaming about strippers and I was complaining that he wasn't like that anymore, and now he's back to being depressed and not wanting to sleep with women. Oh, Sam. Love the dog comparison, and apparently Dean isn't loving it so much. It's not a nice thing to say, anyway.

HOLY CRAP, CRAZY! SHE SHOT HIM!!!!! Janice, that seems... a little excessive. Jim, Janice, what are you going to do? Nononono BAD PLAN!

*twitch*

Okay, the murder-suicide thing? Does NOT make me a happy camper!

Huh. Strange dude in the hallway, and Sam has sensed something hinky.

I know that coroner from somewhere. "Refrigerate after opening!" Hee!

"Be my valentine." Oh, Dean.

ENOCHIAN LETTERS ENGRAVED ON THE VICTIMS' HEARTS! ACK!

Oh my God, so much love for Cas! "I'm going to hang up now."

"Cherub, third class." Awesome. Ooh, and he's gone rogue! I love the boys' reaction. So bitter and resigned.

"A nexus of human reproduction." Oh, Cas.

Dean isn't hungry, but apparently Cas eats now, and the LOOK on their faces is priceless!

"Meet me in the back." Oh, the shippers must have LOVED that line! Is it me, or does Cas always sound a little silly when chanting in Enochian, or whatever?

"I don't like it." "No one likes it." THE LOOKS ON THEIR FACES!

Oh, cool. He's not doing it on purpose! Awww... puppy! He's crying! Is it an act? Oh, man, the looks on their faces. Poor Cas, always taking one for the team. "I have no idea what you're saying." Oh, oh Cas!

Angelic Vulcan mind meld?

Whose orders indeed?

Oh, CRAP! Bloodlines and the like are back! Oh, Dean. You can't punch angels, it doesn't work. And look, you hurt his feelings.

Sam, don't you remember Dean's long speech about taking all his crap and burying him? You're not going to get him to talk that easily. I suspect we'll have to wait until the end of the episode and get a roadside confession out of Dean by the Impala.

EWWWWW! Death by Twinkie. So very very gross.

Sam's got another headache, and that's never a good sign. Oh, wait, creepy dude is back! Sam, honey, call for backup. ACK! Not the knife! HOLY CRAP SAM CAN SMELL THE DEMONS COMING!

Nonono don't lick the knife! Good boy.

I think I may have aged a year. :P

"What's the worst that could happen?" Dean, never ever ask that question!

You can carry a human soul in a briefcase?

Oh, FAMINE. Awesome. That explains why Sam is suddenly going all withdrawal-symptomy. Poor Cas. Doomed to eat hamburgers. Is Jimmy alive in there after all? I thought he was gone.

ACK! HANDS IN THE BOILING OIL! AAAAAH!

Ready for what? (And Sam echoes my question two seconds later)

March across the land? That sounds bad.

Oh, poor Stunt Demon #1. Escaped the Wrath of Sam only to be consumed by Famine.

Dean, you keep the ring in your pocket?!?

Oh, Sammy. That is the saddest thing I've ever seen. *cries*

LOL Cas. "These make me very happy."

And yes, Dean, what is up with you? Hee! Not well-adjusted, just well-fed. Precisely.

Oh, shit. Well, who didn't see this coming? SAM NO!!!!! SHITSHITSHIT!!!!

OH NO OH NO OH NO HOLY CRAP BAD BAD BAD!!!

"Well, that sounds foolproof." Oh, Dean.

Too long? Dean, it's been like ten seconds. Mind you, for Cas that's a long time. Also, apparently he was right, since Cas is now chowing down on raw hamburger.

Okay, okay, we get the metaphor. America has empty souls. Blah blah blah.

Hee! Strength of character. Go Dean!

Aww, poor bunny. We already knew he was broken. :(

Eeep! It's Sam! Oh, the look on Dean's face. Oh, God. Boys, you're breaking my heart. Oh, thank God, Sammy, you're resisting. I love the look the two demons exchanged when Famine told Sam to have at it.

Ooh, Sam, way to think outside the box!

Oh, oh God. Sam's back in lock-down. I was hoping Dean would at least sit with him this time. Shit. (I predict fic at the end of this!)

Dean, Dean WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Don't say "yes," sweetie, DON'T!

OHMYGOD.

They just ended it there.

*dies ten gazillion deaths*


I think the show may have broken me. And IMdB tells me I have to wait nearly six weeks for the next episode. I am going to LOSE MY MIND.

See? Aren't you glad you didn't know about John and Mary and the demon blood and the panic room and the cherub and Famine and DEAN! begging heaven or god or whoever in that beautifully acted scene at the end? I was floored by the whole demon blood thing and Sam using his powers again. And Dean. I think it IS his strength of character that makes him impervious to the horsemen. I loved this episode and there's already been one great fic from it. Can't wait for more!

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
YES!

I'm so glad I managed to remain unspoiled. SO GLAD!

Your beta will be done by tonight. That okay? :)

[identity profile] tifaching.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
That would be great. The comm sent out a post a few days ago that posting would run 2/14-3/14 but I want to get it posted as soon as possible and get it over with.

[identity profile] primrose-1.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
The end of this episode KILLED me! SO sad! At the same time though, I was glad that Sam finally did have to deal with the withdrawal symptoms. I felt like they kind of cheated at the beginning of the season just making him FINE suddenly.

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Stabbed through the heart, I tell you!

And yeah, now we get Sam-detox, although I can pretty much guarantee that we won't see any of it on-screen. There'll be a time-jump, and then Sam will be, well, maybe not fine, but de-toxed, anyway.

Feh.

At least there'll be good ficcage, right? Right.

Okay, in the midst of busy work day, so haven't read the whole post yet, but:

The Nice Girl from the beginning's name was Alice? (I honestly tend not to bother learning their names any more.) And the stuffed bunny is white.

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it was pretty egregious.

[identity profile] spookysquall.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, this end of this ep killed me. I was thinking, oh no, he's going to say yes. Either that or he just summoned God.

Anyway, very cool.

But what is this now about no new SPN for 6 weeks? Are you kidding me?

[identity profile] blubird-pie.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee, I love reading these because it's pretty much what was going through my mind too! Especially the parts in caps. I was literally covering my mouth in shock at the end, I was so sure he was going to say "yes." It's really not OK for them to go on hiatus again and leave us with that. I have a hard enough time staying unspoiled when I *don't* have to wait 6 friggin' weeks!

[identity profile] pkwench.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I think that sums up my reaction as well!

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
IMdB says March 24th, if memory serves. I expect they're doing it so that we'll get all the new episodes week after week right into the finale in time for May sweeps.

I am going to go nuts. :P

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
SO UNFAIR I DON'T EVEN

...

Guh.

Six weeks.

I am going to lose what's left of my mind.

And yes, these entries are pretty much stream-of-consciousness as I watch, so there's a whole lot of flailing and caps-lock. ;)

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
There was a great deal of screaming and flailing and caps-locking, wasn't there? ;)

On the plus side, this ep gave me my epiphany for how I'm going to write my prompt for [livejournal.com profile] hoodie_time, so it's not all bad.

[identity profile] tifaching.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
After I saw this I went back to see which prompt you had and oh, yeah. This could be awesome. There's been some great fic based on this epi already. leonidaslion just put up one that's like a punch to the gut. If you haven't read it you really should.

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Guh. Her stuff already twists me into knots. I'm thinking maybe I'll wait until later this weekend. :P

[identity profile] katwoman76.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Hah, I'm totally sitting here hiding in bed with my laptop on my knees and headphones on while all my visitors are sleeping. Just couldn't wait until Sunday.

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
LOL

It's fun to be obsessed, isn't it? ;)

[identity profile] katwoman76.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
totally. even if they all think I'm crazy.
But now we have a long long break ahead of us again *sigh*
and my poor sammy back to cold turkey detox in the panic room (but I'm very proud of him for resisting the temptation in front of famine and using his powers against him instead...even if dean freaked out) with at least cas having faith in sammy.
and poor dean - so broken.

oh and by the way...handcuffs and furniture in front of the door is what you call lockdown? seriously? neither cas nor dean thought of salting the entrances and painting some devils traps outside of sammy's reach?

Bloody hell. March 24th. It's bad enough going 3 weeks without Lost. *LOL*

Also, maybe I missed some major announcement along the line, but do we know if this will in fact be the last season? I keep hearing maybe, maybe but I haven't heard anything official.

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure that the renewal for a 6th season is official. I'd have to look it up to be sure, though.

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Cas was distracted, and Dean... well, I've got nothing.

Team Research is apparently on strike lately.

[identity profile] dinalori.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
*guh* The last half of this episode killed me. Poor Sam. I'm so proud of him for resisting as long as he did, and even at the end when confronted by Famine (who's that actor BTW? I know I know him from something.) DEAN! OMG I was terrified he was going to say yes. Damn, show is killing me I tell you!

Another topic- I've dome my best with the "Team Research" icons. Wow, I'm rustier at this than I thought. :( Anyway, here's the one you requested:

And here's the other idea I had:

Hopefully one of those will be useful to you.

You ROCK!

I love the .gif!

*nabs it*

[identity profile] dinalori.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Holy crap that was fast! LOL

Glad you like it. I used to be really good at icon making, but I was without a computer for so long I'm having to re-learn everything. If you come up with any other ideas let me know, I can use the practice.

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! My own built-in icon maker! MUAHAHAHAAA!

*cough*

Erm, I mean, thank you so much! That's really nice of you. :D
