5.20 —Let the countdown begin
As usual, this is a placeholder post. Insta-reactions will follow after the ep is finished and I have time to write everything down. I've actually taken to writing down my reactions on paper and transcribing them after, because I can't type and watch the show at the same time (the browser window doesn't allow for it), and I don't want to miss anything. I can write by hand quite fast (I was quite the note taker in university) and do it without looking at my paper.
Anyway, you know the drill. Behind the LJ-cut, there will be spoilers.
Intro: Jess, Croatoan and Crowley! How can this episode not rock, I ask you?
Rats? Ah, a corporate lab of some kind, and apparently some corporate scientists still have integrity. Good to know, and I'm betting they're about to die horribly, especially after the whole "human tests this week" thing.
EVIL!JANITOR!
What is it with this show and evil janitor types? Remember the YED from Season 1 & 2? Yeah. He was a janitor too, wasn't he?
Woah. Rate of infection 2.5 seconds, apparently.
Aaaand the CDC is in town, in the form of Sam and Dean. I missed a joke in there, because I couldn't quite make out what Dean was saying. Something about pop? Anyway, whatever it is, apparently it's "too soon." Gonna have to rewatch that.
Homicidal tendencies! Crying statues! Who would talk about crying statues? CRAZY PEOPLE, that's who! LOL, boys!
I'm curious too. Why "softball it" indeed? It's a valid question. If swine flu (and nobody calls it that anymore, but I digress) is a suitcase bomb, then doesn't that make Croatoan the equivalent of a tactical nuke? Why go easy on the Earth now, all of a sudden?
Yay Bobby! I'm so pleased that he's still in the game, in spite of everything that's happened to him.
CROWLEY!!! WOO! So much win I can't even!
Sam is right, Dean. DEMONS LIE.
"They burnt down my house! They ATE my tailor!" THIS IS WHY I LOVE CROWLEY SO MUCH!
SALAMANDER! *dies*
Crowley knows ALL, apparently.
Where do they find all these convenient abandoned houses? Inquiring minds want to know!
AUGH! STUPID FEED SCREWED UP AND I MISSED THE IMPORTANT REVEAL! FUCK! Something about a demon who's the Horsemen's stable boy, I think?
Ah, okay. I think they're going to try to trap him to get to Pestilence by offering him the rings. Yes? Yes.
Hee! Corporate shark! I know so many people like that. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they were demons.
Mr. Brady? Another joke I'm probably not getting, I guess. I think "Mitch" is about to bite it, judging by the looks of things.
"A place in Communications?" That can't be good. Neither is the use of the word "cut-throat," since I'm guessing it's going to be literal... yep, there they go!
LOL "Communications." Oh, dear. Haven't seen the Communication Bowl since... season 2?
"Do the best of someone better." Ah, Brady. Shit rolls downhill, you know.
"This is totally insane." You said it, Sam.
DON'T SEPARATE THE BOYS! THAT'S NEVER A GOOD PLAN!
Oh, Sammy, don't look like that, sweetie! You're breaking my heart!
Dean, bunny, have you learned NOTHING about trusting demons?
LOL! Sam is whining to Bobby. Emo!Puppy is emo. "Dean left me for a deeeemoooon!" *pets Sam* I know it's hard, sweetie, but he'll be back.
Bobby might have a small point. It's crazy, but lately crazy's the only game in town.
Uh, yeah, Sam. I think Bobby remembers the time he was possessed. *eyeroll*
SAM! NO! THAT'S A STUPID, STUPID IDEA! WHAT IS IT WITH YOU AND DEAN USING YOURSELVES AS GODDAMNED BAIT FOR THE FREAKING ARCHANGELS, YOU MORON!
"Are you idjits tryin' to kill me?" WHAT BOBBY SAID!
Oh, oh, dude, SAMMY!
"You're not exactly Mr. Anger Management." LOL
Human shield. Ouch.
"Ah, crap." You said it, Dean. Did I mention he's a DEMON? What did you think he was going to do? Play by your rules? Holy shit, Dean, you are the most gullible hunter EVER, except maybe Sam.
"Now you're squeamish? Please." Huh. Not that squeamish, apparently.
"Trust me." Uh, HOW ABOUT NO?
Oooh, nice door-swish, Brady. Telekinesis, FTW!
Eww, Dean! Wipe the blade off first, dude, before sticking the knife back in your coat! That's just gross.
Oh, Dean-o. You suck at this. I thought you were a master poker player? A little off your game, aren't you? Whatever happened to your being so awesome at lying?
"Retribution." Aaaand the other shoe drops. Yikes.
Dean!whump! I should not be enjoying this as much as I am. I am a bad, bad person and I am going to hell.
All I can think now is that they've separated the boys and isolated Sam from Dean. This can't be good.
Ooh, SPN promo commercial!
"My name is Death and the End is here." I love this song.
I HAVE FUCKING CHILLS NOW. THIS PROMO IS BRILLIANT BUT NOW I'M SPOILED FOR NEXT WEEK'S EPISODE WHICH I WAS TRYING TO AVOID. FUCK YOU, CW.
Okay, how did Dean escape to the elevator? Ah, apparently that doesn't matter because Brady just caught up with him and sucker-punched him.
WOAH! Crowley was actually on the level? Love the Devil's Trap on the bag.
"That's what you get working with a demon."
SEE? EVEN CROWLEY SAYS SO!
Sam and the guy have history? Oh, crap.
I love Sammy's "waiting for Dean" body language. Same body language as in "Bad Day At Black Rock."
LOL "A colourful rejoinder about my corn chute."
Oh. Oh dear. Demon!Brady's been jerking Sam around since the middle of sophomore year. And introduced him to Jess. Holy fucking Christ, is there NO TIME in Sam's life when demons haven't been manipulating him? GOD.
Nice and fluffed? EWWWW.
This isn't going well at all.
Moose. LOL
Desperate swashbuckle!
I LOVE CROWLEY SO HARD!!!
Also? His appearing/disappearing thing is UBER SUAVE.
ACK! SAM! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?
AAAAAAAAAH! MY STUPID STREAM FROZE AGAIN WHAT'S HAPPENING OH GOD!
Okay, we're back. Sam is apparently going to go kill Brady.
Woah. Brady is the one who lit the match? SAM IS GOING TO KILL HIM OH GOD.
SAM! NO! HE'S TAUNTING YOU! HE WANTS YOU TO KILL HIM DON'T DO IT DON'T DO IT!
Cool special effect there, with the glowy orange cut. It never gets old for me. :)
COME ON, SAM! Show the demon who's really in control, here!
LOL Poor Dean. Stuck in the bathroom. Hey, Sam let him out! That's nice. I'm glad they're at a point now where at least Sam can back off and figure out that he's wrong and try to fix things before they're entirely out of hand. Self-control, FTW!
Crowley's back! Again. "Had a little massacre."
LOVERS IN LEAGUE AGAINST SATAN! OH MY GOD. "Torrid passion." \o/
OHMYGOD THAT'S A HELLHOUND! AAAAAAAAH! BAAAAAAD!
"I told you." "Oh, well, good for you!" *dies laughing* Quite possibly the best Dean line of the entire episode. \o/
AAAAAAAAH! HELLHOUND! HOW IS THAT SHOTGUN EVEN WORKING? Is it Dean's? One with rocksalt?
Huh?
HOLY CRAP PET HELLHOUND!!!! That is SO AWESOME! If I didn't love Crowley before I would definitely love him now!
INVISIBLE HELLHOUND FIGHT! Someone needs to make a LOLcat pic out of that.
What is it with this show and disturbing posters/murals?
Brady hands over a paper with Pestilence's location on it. How anticlimactic. Also, hasn't Pestilence been moving around in that green Ford Pinto? How do they know he hasn't moved on?
Love Crowley sidling past the salt line.
We all know what's coming next. Sammy kills the demon who butchered his girlfriend. I doubt that's going to give him any real sense of closure. "It's a start." Yeah, Sammy, I don't really think it is. :(
Oh, Brady. You're SUCH a moron. Yes, you have a point, but I'm quite sure Sam thinks that every single day. You're not exactly enlightening him, here. Poor boy is filled with that exact self-loathing already. What makes you think saying all that is a good idea? You're not even really hurting him, or distracting him, and now you're dead. Screw you, you evil demonic son of a bitch.
"Interesting theory."
OH MAN I NEED TO WRITE A CODA FOR THIS. After BigBang. Christ.
Hey, Rufus is still in the game, tracking omens.
Oh, fuck. Crowley's in Bobby's house. This can't be good.
"Before I fill you so full of rock salt you crap margaritas." ROFL BOBBY! Awesome line.
Spell?
"Why are you snake-oiling me." Perceptive!Bobby
Technicality? Crap. Crappity crap.
Oh. OH. Bobby, NO!
Oh, thank God, he said no.
Shit, they're still talking. BOBBY! DEMONS LIE! HE'S NOT GOING TO GIVE YOUR SOUL BACK DON'T DO IT HOLY SHIT NOOOOOO!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!
Have I mentioned lately how much I hate cliffhangers?
