layne67I don't really know much about Halloween since we don't have it here but watching tonight's episode I guess I know what the mask-wearing is all about now.
For a moment there, I was really, really afraid that Samhain might materialize in Sam - Samuel, Samhain, Samael - all Sams. Kind of absurd I guess *is sheepish*
Sam meeting Castiel was rather an anti-climax for me. I expected something ... more ... I don't know, but I thought it could have been more dramatic ... a confrontation ... but maybe it's still to early for that. Castiel and Uriel coming across as a pair of jaded FBI agents didn't help any either. And I almost thought that Dean was going to say that bringing John into it was a low blow.
But I still love Castiel. And I love him even more at the end there, when he voiced his doubts about the whole thing. Or did I get that wrong? I need to watch the whole thing again.
Isn't he just beautiful? My Dark Angel *sighs*
And I just knew that Sam was going to use his power. And Dean ... oh Dean ... when he saw his brother battling with Samhain, how to describe his expressions? Resigned? Despair? Accepting? I wouldn't say that it's shock exactly. I think he had been half-expecting it.
I could hear him thinking "Oh Sammy ..."
Sam looking at Dean looking at him. I was so scared that he would be distracted there! And Sam bleeding, oh Sam
Love this part where Sam smeared the blood on Dean's face. Jared's hand, so HUGE on Jensen's face *goes all a-tingle* :D
A thrilling episode overall!

I have to give it to Jensen. He did very well in keeping his eyes above the chest line.

I don't know why but we were in a distant place like monastery. I was trying to ring the bell but the rope was cut. Then i saw you sitting under a tree and you looked tired. Ala helped me cross a river to get near you but i couldn't :O

Date: 2008-11-01 12:10 am (UTC)That cheerleader part's pretty funny though. Do you think that Jensen might be remembering his days of being one - with the help of Jared of course? :))
Did you read that interview with Misha Collins?

Date: 2008-11-01 02:41 am (UTC)Am I wrong in assuming that's probably going to be fodder for some fics with Dean being turned into a (female) cheerleader?
Why do I keep thinking Jessica was probably a cheerleader in high school?
I loved this episode, and I'm downloading it right now so I can watch it again. Lots of fascinating things to think about. Man, that Uriel sure isn't giving Sam much of a chance, is he? I mean, how long can Sam go without trying to defy a direct order from an authority figure he no longer respects? Shades of John! Plus, Sam's powers were seriously handy right then, though I kind of would have liked it if he'd used the knife instead, seeing as the body was dead already. Hm, I wonder what Ruby's going to think of all this? And where was she? And why can't she change to another body, one that belongs to an actress who can, you know, act?

Date: 2008-11-01 04:41 am (UTC)I thought about Jessica, too, when I saw what I thought was a nurse's costume ( it wasn't? ), and I was thinking, oh Sam is so going to think of Jessica and their last Halloween together.
Sam did attempt to use the knife but it sort of glanced off the demon, and the knife fell. That was when he used his powers.
I like to think of Sam using his powers with Dean to help him in keeping it in check. You know, behind every great man there is a great brother yadda yadda.

Date: 2008-11-01 04:49 am (UTC)Cheerleader Jensen doesn't do much for me, though I bet Jared would be an awesome cheerleader, if they could find an outfit to fit him!
I think one of the costumes was a nurse's outfit.
About the knife, yeah, he did try to use it. But still, I can't help thinking that Sam's deadly sin is Pride, for sure, and although it seemed like he had no choice when he used his powers, I had the impression he was just looking for an excuse where "regular" weapons, including the knife, wouldn't work.
Sam using his powers was fantastic, don't get me wrong, but it just seemed so early for him to give in to that temptation. I do think Dean is the only one who might be able to help Sam keep his powers in check, but as soon as the angels think Sam's not listening to him, or Dean can't control him...eeeeeep!

Date: 2008-11-01 04:25 am (UTC)But Sam! I thought he was going to have a stroke.
But of course I love the way Sam rubs that blood all over Dean's face. Yay, touching!!!! I bet Jared tried to do it as affectionately as he could. *dances*

Date: 2008-11-01 04:46 am (UTC)I was so worried when Sam had that nosebleed, I thought he was going to collapse, which I wouldn't mind if it meant that we're going to see Dean rushing to him, cradling Sam in his arms ...
That blood - maybe they practiced with uhm, chocolate at home? ;P

Date: 2008-11-01 02:29 pm (UTC)iz easily pleasedPoor Sam, his face when Castiel snubbed him, that could really knock his faith in God/Angles and send him dark-side
Poor Dean, watching Sam using his powers when he said he wouldn't, hopefully he'll accept that they had to be used here!

Date: 2008-11-02 09:31 am (UTC)No, it was not just you. This really made me "get" Castiel. I found it really humanised him and made him, for me at least, much more accessible. I'm now a fan.
That look on Dean's face. *heart clench* It said so much with so little movement. Until Sam's face which was all expression and clenched and .... OH BOYS. (and OH JENSEN your acting rocks my socks).
And the blood on the face. WOW. I WANT TO READ SOMETHING, ANYTHING, terribly porn regarding that. Sam's hands all over Dean's face.... *dies*

Does this really bet that?:

Date: 2008-11-12 03:23 pm (UTC)And, I must confess, that funny pic of him? I kinda adore him for being so dorky in it.
BUT - I adore JDM too. And his sprawl. And his growliness. And his drawl. And I could listen to him say "Hello Boys" (with that twinkle in his eye and gentle smile on his face) over and over again and never get bored.
*uses my new pretty Castiel icon*

Finally, finally my Toni has seen the light!!
And oh, I LOVE John!!!! And this is totally my favourite pic of Dean with his Dad.

Date: 2008-11-12 03:42 pm (UTC)And not one icon but two! *points at icon* I had to have me a wing one.
Ohhhhhh! I love John, I really do and I miss him something fierce. I get all protective of him too. How can people write such mean things about him in fics when there is beautiful, loving moments like this?? I know he had his harsh moments, but ultimately I believe he loved his boys so much and just did the best he could. It wasn't good enough some times but the intent was good.

Date: 2008-11-12 03:49 pm (UTC)And Toni, Chicago con - two more days. Omg, I really hope D won't be there, and we'd get really, really fantastic J2 moments. I was kinda disappointed with the last Comic con actually, maybe because I was expecting way too much, so yeah, I'm totally NOT going to expect anything from this Chicago one, and I'm so totally bracing myself for her presence there.

Date: 2008-11-12 04:05 pm (UTC)Who???? *winks* God I hope she's not either. I want some purely boy moments too. It seems like so long since we last had some. And yeah, Comic Con didn't get me all excited either. Which is a shame.
