REACTION UNDER CUT. (Very positive, for those who just want to ride the happy.)
HOLY.
FUCKING.
SHIT.
They went there! They WENT there! Azazel! I kind of can't believe it!
I am ... bowled over by the amount of story arc going on right now.
Gyaaahhh! And Dean actually TALKING about "did Sam come back wrong", and to BOBBY, and Bobby doesn't look entirely SURE, and COLLATERAL DAMAGE. And OH MY GOD.
You may not have gathered that I'm excited.
But seriously, I think I might have *strained* something with the flailing.
I am such a sucker for DemonOverlord!Sammy or MorallyAmbiguousBadass!Sammy of any sort, so there was a lot to love in this episode. Sammy = Demon Jesus = Awesome.
And Oh, DEAN. With the saying he's not scared and being SO SCARED, and the whole conversation with DemonGirl, and DemonGirl herself who wins for giving us some info, for freaking Dean out, for CALLING DEAN A BITCH.
And we know things about demon politics and hierarchy and structure and underlying theological concepts!
And the Colt! And Ruby! And holy CRAP, they're just killing the human hosts all over the place now! And now if they de-possessed Ruby the girl would just die! And Sam with the COLT.
Also, re: Sam coming back wrong -- who else is waiting for the self-destructive sex with Spike to begin? Y/Y?
This episode was just so *interesting* because we've all been writing about and discussing these same possibilities (demons in chaos without Sam, Azazel, collateral damage, factions who would follow Sam and who wouldn't ...) and now some of them are actually written in! It's sort of overwhelming having that many questions answered.
I'm sure if I go back and rewatch I may take issue with the amount of exposition, but HELL. I don't care. Didn't bother me a bit, I had so much fun with this episode.
Oh MAN! Okay, one more thing! I love how Sam was all apologetic and awkward and puppy!Sammy through most of the episode, but the moment Dean was endangered he just went into action mode, no hesitation.
SAM.
DEAN.
I need people to flail with! Or I will IMPLODE.
HOLY.
FUCKING.

Date: 2007-10-26 02:50 am (UTC)SO much here! Told and hinted and OMG!!! Story. With story. And Sam as Messiah but also just Sammy. Dean wibbling and the awesome temptress demon. and BOBBY AS DAD.
eeeeeeee.
no subject
Date: 2007-10-26 02:55 am (UTC)I know, there was just SO MUCH in this episode. I love having him as Messiah and Sammy simultaneously. Such a cool tension, and except for Ruby he's going through it all on his own.
Daddy!Bobby wins at life, though it makes me worry about his life expectancy - their father figures don't tend to do very well! Or really, anyone who makes them more happy and stable.
And DEAN. He's kept things so locked up so far this season (his fear about Sam, his fear of Hell), and now we actually got to see so much of it!
I'm sort of freaking out (in the good way) that this is only episode 4 - there's so much season left in which this can play out!
no subject
Date: 2007-10-26 03:26 am (UTC)OMG MICROCOSM STORY IN A STORY. \o/
Bobby makes me so happy. I hope they don't off him. The boys need him. Esp now, with all that's going on.
Yes! Yay freak out!
no subject
Date: 2007-10-26 02:54 am (UTC)OMG, I KNOOOOOOW! And I WILL TOTALLY FLAIL WITH YOU! Because even if the MotW was meh, there was SO. MUCH. SET. UP. HERE! DUDE.
Also, re: Sam coming back wrong -- who else is waiting for the self-destructive sex with Spike to begin? Y/Y?
You realize that as soon as I type this in my post, I also Buffy referenced? ILU!! :):)
SAM.
DEAN.
EXACTLY.
(!!)
no subject
Date: 2007-10-26 02:57 am (UTC)And HEH. The Buffy parallel is kind of unavoidable. Sam probably won't sing about his post-resurrection angst, though. Probably.
YAY.

Hahaha. I'd pay to see SPN: The musical. Hmmm... ;)
no subject
Date: 2007-10-26 03:08 am (UTC)Oh my GOD, the musical. And the boys would have to SING. And maybe BOBBY. And Dean sings REO Speedwagon! And Sam and Dean serenade each other. Yes. *nods* This is the way it would be.
Seriously, though - it must be kind of a bitch for the writers right now, because there are so many things they *can't say* because it was already done on Buffy and everyone remembers!

YES OMG I AGREE. AMEN.
I love how Sam was all apologetic and awkward and puppy!Sammy through most of the episode, but the moment Dean was endangered he just went into action mode, no hesitation.
*GROPES**HUGS SAM*Lots of win.
no subject
Date: 2007-10-26 02:22 pm (UTC)Action!Sammy is SO GROPEABLE. (which is totally a word.) And so is puppy!Sammy, so it's just the best of both worlds. One makes me want to corrupt/comfort him, the other makes me just ... sort of whimper and get a little dizzy and hope that he will come be huge and aggressive in my vicinity.
