Ahahahahaha, poor excuse for a crossroads. What does it mean that I've actually considered before how much effort it would take to find a non-paved crossroads in LA. (In my defense, it was with regards to filming locations.)
HI MARK SHEPPARD HI. YOU CAN DO NO WRONG.
♥ male crossroads demons. Still bitter that one male one didn't make out with Sam.
"cling to six decades of deep-seated homophobia"
MARK SHEPPAAAAAAAAAAARD!

Did anyone else have the urge to make a huge uncut post saying "OH MY GOD, I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY CONVINCED THE NETWORK TO LET THEM SHOW A GAY KISS!"

"Even as we speak it's ... going ... down."
HUGGY BEAR?

Crowley with his music (what is that?) and Nazis. And Mark Sheppard-ness.

HI JO HI. You're pretty. But I want to feed you a sandwich.
How much do I LOVE her working together with the Winchesters for once? Even if it amounts to her using her sexuality/being a victim and them flashing weapons around. :-|

Hardy Boys.
When exactly did they have time to spray-paint sigils under his rug?
I enjoy seeing a demon in casual terms, waving the door shut.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee working with demons.
"But I forgot, you two at best are functional morons."
"You're-- functioning ... morons ... mor ..." Dean's retort!fail, awwww.
Filthy bags of pus.
Simpler, better times.
"I'm in SALES, damnit!"

Ehehehehe such an anticlimactic handover of the Colt. Love it.
"THREE, how about you DON'T MISS, OKAY?"

Ellen doing shots with Castiel. Would've loved it more if he'd finished all the shots, then fallen over. (Human body, but no human knowledge of physical limits.)

"Thank you again for your continued support."
"You're welcome."
Clink.
Awwwwwww, they make their seething unresolved issues seem so functional.

Since when have we ever done anything smart?

"Haven't we learned a damn thing? If we're going to do this, we're gonna do it together."
♥

Hi Sam, you're pretty.

Dean, you dog. "Good God. True that."
Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaannnnn. How can you have had so much time practicing these lines and still be SO BAD AT IT? I suppose he's just so pretty that people are willing to fuck him now matter how unsmooth he is, so he never has to learn.
"Are you giving me the Last Night On Earth Speech?"
"What? No."
I heart you, Jo. Sweetheart. Self-respect. Cute smile.

Awwwwwwwwww, Bobby taking the photo. Seems kinda OOC, but I love it enough that I don't care.
CASTIEL. YOU SUCK. YOU MADE THEM SADFACE.

Anti-God is Anti-American, right next to Adult Videos sign. I wish to shake your hand, SPN set-dresser.
I really enjoy the way they're using cuts for Castiel's disappearances.

AAHHHHHHHHHH. HOLY FUCKING FUCK. SO MANY REAPERS. THIS IS AMAZING AND CREEPY.
(But why are they all men?)
I love that they're all facing the same direction and waiting.

"Jesus Saves" on the hotel sign. Hotel sign, I think several characters on this show would like to dispute that claim.

"Hello, brother." And LIGHT.
*dies of awesome* Lucifeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Oh man, remember when the Reapers were, like, the scariest Big Bad out there, short of the YED. Remember when the YED was the Biggest of the Big Bads.

Mark Pellegrino, I approve.
"I'm told you came here in an automobile [...] What was that like?"
"Um. Slow. Confining."
"Nick is wearing a bit thin, I'm afraid." Oh man, so many of his lines, I can imagine so clearly how a lesser performer would have delivered them, and I'm even more grateful for how restrained he's being.

I rebelled, I was cast out, you rebelled, you were cast out.
So who's writing the fic where Castiel does become the new Public Enemy #1?

"I suppose you will."
So not all the angel-brothers actually know each other personally.

HI MEG. "Deano"!
Hell-hounds around Deano, dirty pool.
Wasn't her father Azazel?
Apparently these are rather slow Hell-hounds. Not Hell-Whippets.
JO. EEK.
This is not going to end well.
All right, I'm already prematurely mourning. She's a good character and a woman, two counts against her.
EEK.

Part of me wonders if they fucked up Bobby's mobility just because it keeps him out of the action so he won't get killed off.
Awwww, Jensen Ackles. You're kinda good at expressing emotional pain. (Though Alyson Hannigan can still make me sob more with a single lip quiver. JFC.)
They're lucky they took cover in a hardware store instead of a McDonalds.

"Hell, I've died several times myself." (♪"Hey, I've died twiiiiiice!"♫)

So, Sam and Dean should build a boat. And put a zoo on it. And sail around together. And then there'll be doves and shit.

I enjoy Meg's unrepentant nastiness. Though honestly, the way we're seeing her right now does not mesh with the intelligence and independence we saw in BUaBS. (Speaking of which, I recently rewatched BUaBS, and daaaaamn. Jared was really, really good in that. I struggle to think of an episode in which he impressed me more.)

Can we be realistic about this, please?
DREAD.
Jo, you are one badass hunter. Priorities straight.
The bomb thing is totally another Good Omens reference.
Are the hellhounds just answering to anyone now? They're very fickle pets.
I'm not sure how I feel about this. At the same time, I feel like the hero-sacrificies-for-greater-good plot point is a really powerful one, but I also get really tired of women selflessly sacrificing themselves.
"This might literally be your last chance to treat me like an adult." *weeps that Jo's story arc of recognition and adulthood and heroism comes to this*

See you on the other side.
Both of those kisses KILLED me.
I am really, really sad that I can't imagine a future for canon!Jo, now. I really wanted her to survive the apocalypse so I could think about where she'd end up.

"You got me, Jo."
Will not leave you here alone.

God, the arm around Jo's shoulders.
All comes down to love.
Together in the end.

JO.
Tearing up a little here. Okay, a lot.
ELLEN.
ELLEN YOU ARE AMAZING.
I love the way they frame it - Jo's hand is still on the detonator, and Ellen's just goes over her hand. They press it together; Ellen does when Jo can't.
Hellhound breath blowing against her
Would've worked better for me without her final line of dialogue. Silence would've worked.

Last words?
I think I'm good.
Yeah. Me too.

BOYS.
JUST.
I DON'T EVEN.
"Here goes nothing" with 9 minutes left in the episode? Not good.

You wanted to see me?
Saaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?
SHOT HIM.
I AM NERVOUS.

Ahahahaha, best "Owwwwwwwwwwwwwww" ever. :D :D

What are the other 4 things it can't kill? Sam, Dean, Sam and Dean's love for each other, and cockroaches?

"I don't know, Sam. I think it will. And I think it'll happen soon. Within 6 months. And I think it'll happen in Detroit."
CREEPTASTIC. (Also, just Kripked my fic, fuckers.)

I'm not afraid of Sam's anger anymore. I feel like we've kinda been there. He's learned things.

... I am so dumb, it took me until now to realize that he's filling in a mass grave.
I like Lucifer more when he's sincere than when he's snarky.
"I have to do this. I have to." <-- dude, Lucifer has not been watching this show at all. Tune in, buddy. Fate is not the winner in this one.

You of all people should understand.
Guys, I think a really NEW and COMPLETELY UNFORESEEN parallel is about to be drawn here. WHAT COULD IT BE?
Loved, idolized. Begged. Stand with me. Freak. Monster. Mind of my own.
GASP. Are they saying Sam has something in common with Lucifer's psychodrama.

Okay, c'mon, people. Chanting makes EVERYONE sound fucking ridiculous. It's like Lucifer's a teenage Wiccan trying to hold a seance with his high school buddies.

They're just demons.

Castiel's strategies seem to involve a lot of unscrewing bolts.

"Your god may be a deadbeat, but mine walks the earth." Heard that one before.

Doesn't seem to be very good differentiation between powers Castiel's lost and those he still has. Are they just diminishing gradually?

"Oh, hellooooo, Death."

Why do they burn the photo? Wasn't that kind of the point of taking it, in case people died horribly?

Man, Jo and Ellen's death was one of the most effective dramatic moments in the series for me. Glad for that, at least.

Augh, hiatus episodes. Always killer.

Word. This is gonna be hard to re-watch.
You already have an icon! And it's amazing!

Agree with River; I was okay watching the ep but reading this is making me cry.

:( :(

yes, this. all of this. you made my eyes tear up this morning...

*sigh*

*goes to find happy stuff*

Supernatural, devourer of joy and happiness.

Your recap is making me teary all over again. Samantha and Alona just bit into that with everything they had, and it worked so well because of all that history as mother, daughter, hunter, survivor they've made us feel over the seasons. God, their scenes together were wrenching, and utterly convincing.

And let's hear it for Crowley, and for Lucifer, and Cas with his bolt fetish, and Sam and Dean doing what they do best and staying together. Damn, but that was a fine epsiode.

Castiel and his freakin bolts. You're charmingly mussed, buddy, but WAY TO BE USEFUL.
Crowley ♥

I was so caught up in the wonderful emotional drama and characterization and HOLY CRAP AMAZING PERFORMANCES BY THE ENTIRE CAST that this rather heavy anvil surprised me when it fell on my head. Like... YOU WERE DOING SO GOOD, WRITERS!!! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THAT?!?!?! WE GET IT. WE GOT IT. A LOOOOOOOOOONG TIME AGO. Sigh.

Also? Not Hell-whippets? Hilarious.

They need to cross-breed the hellhounds, work on that shit.
Awwwwwwww, if they have Hell-Greyhounds, then when they're retired from ~~racing~~ devouring the souls of the damned, the Hell-Greyhound Rescue can find them new homes.

*waves* Please excuse me for butting in! It just occurred to me...maybe it wasn't an anvil? And perhaps I'm giving the writers too much credit, but maybe what we're supposed to get from Luci's parallel, and the taunting that Patrick the Immortal Poker Witch did about Sam's little brother complex (which turned out to be sooo mistaken), is that these taunts don't work on Sam any more.

Sam can't be manipulated that way anymore, not while he's got his Dean beside him. The bad guys don't realize that yet, but they're working with an outmoded paradigm.

Maybe that's the message we were supposed to get?

That would make me very happy indeed. I HOPE that's where they're going... I tend to get into a cycle of apostasy and repentance when it comes to my faith in the Show writers. ;)

Me too. ;D Let's just hope the cycle hits the 'repentance' part in six months...in Detroit. In May.

(Oh dear.)

The thought has me smiling - I must have a little more faith than I thought. :)

Did anyone else have the urge to make a huge uncut post saying "OH MY GOD, I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY CONVINCED THE NETWORK TO LET THEM SHOW A GAY KISS!"
My reaction: "Doodz kissin, ur doin it wrong." XD And heck, look what they've gotten away with so far. Still not bitter about Hoyt the Siren not kissing the boys though, not bitter at all.

Wasn't her father Azazel?
That did confuse me for a minute, but then I figured she was going for "Father" with a capital F since he's her creator an' all. Gah, I love Meg. ♥

So, Sam and Dean should build a boat. And put a zoo on it. And sail around together. And then there'll be doves and shit.
FUCK THE APOCALYPSE, WE'RE ON A BOAT, MOTHERFUCKER!

Okay, c'mon, people. Chanting makes EVERYONE sound fucking ridiculous.
Urgh, yes it does. I cringed.

Man, Jo and Ellen's death was one of the most effective dramatic moments in the series for me. Glad for that, at least.
Oh God. That killed me (WHY DID THEY HAVE TO KILL THEM WHYYYYYYYY) not only because I love Ellen and Jo to itty bitty pieces, but because if we were ever in that situation (wtf) my mom would do the same for me. ;_;

And as soon as Bobby took that picture I decided they were having an Order of the Phoenix v. 1.0 moment all the way. Except for, y'know, burning it. I'm hoping there's an extra copy somewhere, or that it gets magically restored from the fireplace like that letter to Mary Poppins.

Hoyt the Siren not kissing the boys though
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS. I FEEL SO CHEATED. HOOOOYYYYYT.

FUCK THE APOCALYPSE, WE'RE ON A BOAT, MOTHERFUCKER!
WITH A NAUTICAL-THEMED PASHMINA AFGHAN.

Oh. I hadn't thought about the colt not being able to kill Sam and Dean. God, Sam, Dean, Michael and Lucifer?

It seems like after getting specific with a number like that, we're gonna have to learn who the other 4 are eventually.

There is too much here, that I agree with, so I leave you with a smile. :)

Apparently these are rather slow Hell-hounds. Not Hell-Whippets

LOL!

hell-basset hounds =)

Awwwwwwww, they'd be so cute and floppy!

Teeny tiny factoid: you probably already know this, but just in case you didn't. The reference to "huggy bear" is from the 70's cop show "Starsky & Hutch". They had a contact to the street underworld named Huggy Bear.

Yup, that's my whole contribution....

Ya learn something new every day ...
