5.19 —It's going by so fast!
I can't believe we're already in the final stretch! Four more episodes, including tonight's. I'm really, really tired for some reason, so I'm not nearly as hyper as I was for last week's episode. Also, given what happened last week, that may also explain why I'm not quite as keyed up.
Still, I'm looking forward to this. Here's hoping my streaming site will behave and not skip 30-second to 1-minute intervals of action at the crucial moments. :P
Placeholder post for now. There will be actual content once the episode is over. :)
Gabriel in the recap! Yay!
*wibbles at the 5.17 & 5.18 recap*
Dilapidated motel. Anyone remember Dean's "Someday I'd like to round the corner and find a *nice* house."
"Elys..." Must be Elysian Fields. Ancient Greek paradise. With Show, I am officially leery of anything remotely connected with Heaven.
Why on earth does it need a night watchman? It's a crumbling wreck.
Growing flowers! Kind of like a reverse zombie effect! Hey, everything's fixing itself. Just like Christine. ACK! Random creepy guy in tux!
"We've each got our part to play." Shades of Gabriel in that sentence. "You're dinner." EWWWWW!
I was right! "The Elysian Fields Hotel." I am officially squicked and very very apprehensive. And the Winchesters are forced in out of the rain. The audience knows it's a trap, but they don't. AAAAH!
Hey, Mark Pellegrino in the credits. LUCI'S BAAAAACK!
Random shaving cut is random, especially since Dean wasn't bleeding when they first walked in. Hey, look, it's the gun being pointed out in the first act! This'll come back later. Otherwise they wouldn't be making a fuss about it now.
"All you can eat" & "best pie in the Tri-State area." Music to Dean's ears. It's like they planned it! Oh, wait.
"Heaven, right?" "Trust me, pal, way better." It's funny because it's true!
LOL Dean! Hitting on the hot chick. Oh, man. I have never seen him get shot down that quickly before. I know her. Where do I know her from? Heroes, maybe? I'll look it up on IMDB later. Oh wait no! She's TORI from BSG! *has a squeaky geek moment of joy*
Aaand Sam is angsting. Again. Huh, turns out he's not sleeping again. I wonder if it's just stress + research keeping him up, or if Lucifer is hanging out in his dreams. Notice Lucifer hasn't visited his dreams once onscreen since 5.03.
Aww, Dean! "No one's giving up, especially me." *pets the sweetheart*
AAAAAAAAAH! SEVERED HAND! AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
"I'm young at heart." Haha, Dean. Oh, man, look at him getting all excited about the chocolates on the pillows! He really is a giant twelve-year-old. It's adorable.
4-star hotel on a no-star highway. You said it, Sam. It's all very suspicious.
WHAT WAS THAT?!?
Oh, a VERY Sam'n'Dean entrance there, breaking down the door together. It's a little weird how warm and sappy that made me feel, given that they're, y'know, kicking down a door. *headdesk*
Engagement ring on the floor. Remind anyone else of Ava?
"Mr. & Mrs. Logan." Is there a reference I'm missing?
"They were in the middle of something." Hee! Sam.
Did Dean just say something about "broke the needle?" I think I missed something.
Norman Bates. LOL
"One night off. Is that too much to ask?" Yes, Dean, yes it is.
How did Sam get a "shaving cut" too? This is BAD! BAD BAD BAD!
Dean, rockin' the EMF.
Black dude in a towel. Say, was that an elephant?
Mercury... as in the Roman god?
Yep. Roaches check in, they don't check out. It's a trap. Naturally.
Hotel California, anyone? I'm actually surprised that SPN didn't do an episode about that earlier. I bet there's even fanfic about them getting trapped in a hotel out there. Anyone know of any good fics, incidentally? I'd totally read that.
IT'S NOT TOMATO SOUP!
*grossed out forever*
The gods have NAME TAGS. Also? Exposition overkill. Seriously, Show, you don't need to show us the explanatory text, Show. WE GET IT. Pagan gods. Oy.
I think I missed a couple, though, because THEY FLASHED BY SO QUICKLY. Missed the Chinese(?) god, and I don't know who the blond chick is. Spotted Odin, Baron Samedi, Kali, Ganesh, Baldur, and Mercury from before.
I'm vaguely insulted that the writers assumed the audience wouldn't know what they were talking about.
Aaaaand now the bad guys monologue. Although, I gotta say, it's a pretty good monologue.
"Hands off the local virgins."
Judeo-Christian Apocalypse. BWAH!
Oh, I love Odin.
"We're so, so screwed." Got it in one, Sammy.
"Don't mock my world turtle!" *dies*
Okay. Rule #1: don't piss off Kali the Destroyer (so much for no slaughtering each other)
GABE!!!! Master of the grand entrance, as usual.
"Wrong place, worse time." You said it.
HOLY CATS HE'S LOKI! Oh, that just made my day. :D
I love it when he zaps them places. Don't ask me why.
"Okay, did that... holy crap!" Yeah, I'm right there with you, Deano.
Oh, Gabe, you LIE! It wasn't JUST because you and Kali had a thing... "chick was all hands." Man, I laughed SO HARD I think I missed the next minute or two. \o/
blood spell + black magic = BAD
BLACKMAIL! Oh my God the boys are BLACKMAILING GABRIEL! *dies laughing* Come ON, Gabe, you didn't see that coming? You MUST have seen it coming. You totally set yourself up for this, dude.
Yes, go seduce Kali, because she totally won't see right through you.
Oh, poor little man! Now you're dinner, and Sam 'n' Dean are going to angst over you. :(
Aww, I think Gabe actually really cares about the little old destroyer of worlds... not that he isn't totally playing her at the same time to get what he wants, mind you. "Let's check out Pandora." Pop culture reference FTW!
Cut to EPIC FIGHT in the kitchen! The transition there was a little rough, Show.
Sam's getting throttled. Must be Thursday.
AAAACK! SHE JUST BOUND GABRIEL! CAN YOU EVEN DO THAT TO AN ARCHANGEL?
Ghostfacers? WTF?
Oh, transition to commercial FAIL, folks! It's a promo for the webisodes. I was SO CONFUSED for a second.
GUH. LIVE STREAMING FAIL. It's stuttering and stopping and skipping now.
Ooh, the boys are getting manhandled. *headdesk* I am a sad, sad, PATHETIC creature.
WHAT IS SHE TAKING I CAN'T SEE BECAUSE THE STUPID STREAM SKIPPED OVER IT AAAAAH!
I think it was Gabe's angel-killing sword/knife-thing.
"You're not the only religion." You said it!
NOOOOOO! GAAABE!
Wait, wait, no. He's gotta be faking it, right? This is Gabriel we're talking about. No way some two-bit pagan deity takes him down. (I speak from what I know of the Show, not my own personal beliefs. Frankly, if it were my universe Kali would totally smite him, but whatever)
"Primitive screwheads." ROFLMAO Oh, Dean. VERY NICE nod to Army of Darkness there.
Is it sad that I love it this much when Dean postures?
OMG SAM'S FACE WHILE DEAN IS TALKING! I LOVE JARED PADALECKI'S COMEDIC TIMING SO VERY HARD!
Oh thank God Gabe isn't dead. I KNEW IT!
LOL he made a fake sword out of a can of Diet Orange Slice. Beautiful.
"It takes one to know one." Oh, Dean. Bunny. :(
Re: Sam's ribs. "Breaking them would be easier." SAM'S FACE! I yelled about Sam's face about a million times already and I'm going to keep doing it. ;)
LUCIFER!!!!! I FEEL LIKE I NEED A LARGER FONT SIZE FOR THIS BIT!
Oh my God, Nick is melting. Uber gross.
Mercury betrayed them. Shocker. Guess Kali shouldn't have tried to kill him. :P
"You're worse than humans, worse than demons, and still you consider yourselves gods." Oh, the contempt, she be scathing.
WOAH. Luci is BADASS! Slaughtering gods with even more ease than Xena: Warrior Princess.
Oh, Baldur, you're SUCH an idiot. *sigh*
EWWWWWWWW! HE PUNCHED RIGHT THROUGH HIS CHEST OH MY GOD!
Oh, hey, Kali's putting up more of a fight! Although, apparently the destroyer of worlds can't even scratch Luci's rapidly-deteriorating vessel. Disappointing, really.
What did Gabe just give Dean? A comic book? I can't tell. Stupid streaming site.
"LUCI, I'M HOME!" *fist pump* YESS! SOMEONE HAD TO SAY IT, AND WHO BETTER THAN GABE?
I am getting a real kick out of this conversation between Gabe and Luci. I'm not sure why, because it's not especially well-written.
Gabe, honey, since when are you on people's side? Since when do you care that they try hard to be better? You make a habit of killing pompous asses. *is perplexed*
BUT GABE CHOSE TEAM FREE WILL SO I AM TOTALLY GOING TO FORGIVE HIM FOR BEING A HYPOCRITE! YAY GABE! TEAM FREE WILL FTW!
Of course, this can't end well. Having an NPC win the battle is a total cop-out.
Oh. Oh, Gabe.
*cries forever*
I knew it wouldn't end well, but I was hoping he'd escape. I look forward to the Trickster episodes every season.
*weeps and weeps*
Casa Erotica? WTF?
Oh, dude. Just... no.
"If you're watching this, I'm dead." HOLY CRAP THAT WAS FUNNY. :D
I'm still sad Gabe is dead.
Hey, there's a plan! Stick ol' Luci back in his cage? WHY DID NO ONE THINK OF THIS BEFORE?
Ah, I knew the Horsemen had to be good for something. Nab the four rings (they've already got two, right?)take them to Mount Doom, and, uh, unlock the cage. Easy-peasy.
"Is that all?" Yes, Sammy. Easy as pie.
Matt Frewer! PESTILENCE, FTW!
EEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
Uh, yeah. That's all I got. I AM SQUICKED FOREVER AND NOW I NEED TO GO MOURN GABRIEL.
Still, I'm looking forward to this. Here's hoping my streaming site will behave and not skip 30-second to 1-minute intervals of action at the crucial moments. :P

The only reference to her looks I can think of off the top of my head is her epithet, 'gray'.
And I've gone really off on a tangent from the episode...
