gwaevalarinTrying something new for this episode, live commentary while I watch it. It feels like the right kind of episode for something like this.
The first X-Files shout out right at the beginning with the location. That whole teaser really does have an X-Files vibe.
OMG! The Intro! How amazing is that? And Cas is in that episode? That's a nice surprise.
"The Truth is in there." Bwahahaha! Oh, show, I love you.
"I'm here because I believe ..."
Did that as a first sentence remind anyone else of Stonehenge Apocalypse?
I kinda like soulless!Sam in this episode. He's mean but funny. And Dean trying to teach him how to care while Sam just does not get it at all. I mean, it should be really sad and creepy when Sam just sits in the bar listening to Dean and giving unhelpful advise while Dean is being hunted through a cornfield and then just vanishes in a white light. But, I'm sorry, it is hilarious.
"It's fine. I mean, I've had time to adjust."
"Did it happen when you were kids?"
"No, like half an hour ago."
[...]
"Did you consider the possibility that you suck at hunting UFOs?"
I think we have to work on that emotions and empathy stuff, Sammy.
Erm, I'm sure Dean didn't want to walk in on this. Remember Dean, it's a beautiful natural act.
Oh, okay, that does sting. Even if Dean was gone all night. Sam being way too direct and unsympathetic to strangers is one thing as is knowing that Sam doesn't care about Dean. But experiencing it like that... ouch. And that whole scene makes me feel really uncomfortable. The way Dean talks about his abduction, Sam trying to fake empathy... This is all way too wrong. By which I don't mean that it's a bad scene. Not at all. It's just kinda hard to watch.
What is it with everyone pouring Dean drinks lately. First Cas, now Sam.
"So you're saying having a soul equals suffering."
I guess if you want to put it that way. You know, this conversation reminds me of the one Dean had with Cas in Heaven's green room about how the pain and the suffering is worth it. I just get the feeling that Cas got it a lot better than Sam will. And if Sam thinks that having a soul comes with too many disadvantages he might not want to have it back after all.
The fairy is a little golden light? Seriously? A very feisty little golden light. A very feisty naked little golden light. With wings. Sam, I really think you are supposed to laugh.
That motel room wallpaper is really distracting.
Are they actually going through with all this fairy stuff? I mean, come on, it is a little ridiculous. And by a little I mean completely. It's funny, though. I'm just not sure I actually want this as part of the Supernatural mythology. Especially with Dean being able to see them now. There will be another twist, right?
Haha, I guess Dean's attack on the supposed fairy gave the wrong impression.
How can fairies spot a missing soul right away and angels can't? Hm, you think they're going to shift the mythology to a place they already hinted at in 'Hammer of the Gods'? Where in reality God is just one of many deities roaming around, Heaven and Hell are just two more dimensions and christianity is just arrogant enough to think they're the ones making the rules while the other religions and creatures don't really give a damn?
Okay, so no other twist. And no Castiel despite Misha's name turning up in the credits. Fun episode, though. Weird, but fun. :)
