CARRY ON

spoilers below but I’m very late to the game

here we go!!! there's Some Woman in the thumbnail for this episode and I'm like oh boy did you fuckers turn castiel into a girl to make it Not Gay, I will riot. we're off to a dread-inducing start I'm honestly not even sure I want to watch this? I have not heard anything good but since my options are either keep SPN blacklisted forever but ultimately get spoiled anyway, or use my dwindling remaining time to see it for myself without being told what happens, may as well be on my own terms I am hearing that misha and possibly j2 were not happy with this, whatever this is (?????) yikes I don't understand how you even have another episode after the last one. that seems like a traditional ending. you either beat a dead horse or go ultra meta and it sounds like they dropped the ball, big time but let's see jack's sweet and deserved better. there's a clock but it's NOT heat of the moment playing, damn oh the dog. we love you miracle dog sam's still jogging where's eileen!!!! I like seeing sam cooking I actually enjoy watching them do domestic stuff dean sneaking food to the dog 😭 can this be the whole episode, just them doing chores I meant to catch which book sam was reading I can't tell but it looks like it's old this is extra bonus sad for knowing that they couldn't even like, have a wrap party or anything. extra isolated. :( SPECIAL GUEST STAR JIM BEAVER!!! "Are you sure you're ready for this?" "Oh, I don't have a choice." dean hasn't been this relatable to me in years, this is how I feel watching this lmao akron pie fest dean dies of complications from diabetes god I miss bakeries or restaurants or anything I do love Sad Sam Face "I"'m thinking about Cas, you know? Jack. If they could be here." thank you Sam that pain isn't going away for me either "stop being an eeyore" Sam's the Eeyore of the series, Dean, okay, and same lmao jared fucking slammed that pie into jensen's face and they just filmed it. you can see the actual glee on his face brady??? like sam's old classmate? wasn't that his name? or no some kid. is this just a regular-ass monster of the week. do sam and dean just get killed by like. regular people? are there no monsters anymore. I would actually love that. humanity is truly the worst monster of all. didn't we learn that in season 1 :') in "the benders" are these guys sam and dean? are they just murdering monster families like they did in the holiday episode? what is happening. are those dean's shoes. I could probably recognize how they walk if I really paid attention i guess not. probably. "singer and kripke, FBI" ha fucking clowns lmao poor sam they still have dad's journal, huh. THE LORE evil mimes. vamp-mimes. I guess they kill these dudes? we gonna unmask them or what there we go this guy looks like joseph gordon-levitt oh we love torture on this show this is definitely "dean who's NOT the ultimate killer" amirite "if those kids are dead he's gonna use a spoon" how very walter sullivan of you also I feel like sam would not do this anymore but hey who am I, someone who likes consistent characterization? lol we're back to creepy barns instead of wet pipe factories dean has a fucking shuriken lmao I honestly for real need a machete for the overgrown weeds I don't hate this so far? I'm tired of the constant torture but I guess this feels like early seasons, kind of. idk. lmao sam with the concussions. classic tie them to a chair. it's what we do. i will be disappointed if they are not tied to a chair jenny? cue studio killers. I do not remember whatever episiode this is but it looks very early based on sam's hair oh thanks sam. couldn't get out of this episode without beheading a woman too one of the suggestions for me typing "woman" was a high-heeled shoe emoji. thanks, predictive text...?????? true feminist oh damn he could very well get tetanus from that. that's how trinity dies, man. should've gotten your booster shot, dean. vaccines save lives this is like the plot of signs why don't you guys wear bulletproof shit. your plot armor was holding you together until now. GUYS THIS IS HOW HUNTERS GO OKAY don't ever un-impale someone, guys like "dean we are in a major city, there are ambulances" call fucking 911, someone could be there already "I've always looked up to you" because you're taller than me lmaoooo idefk what to say about this like. we all know this is how hunters die. you fucking leered at jessica is what you did, dean if sam makes it out of this I'll accept it. if sam lives I can be okay. if this is the only way sam gets free of this, I'm okay. CALL 911 AND CALL JACK "always keep fighting" aw :( they're both very good at crying, I will give them that we never think it's gonna be the day. at least you got pie. OH THE WINCHESTER FAMILY MUSIC don't do this to me dean got a way better death than castiel. this actually reminds me a liiiiittle bit of the end of season 2? with how dean holds sam's body. the writing here is overwrought though. jared and jensen do the best they can with the script they're given but like you guys just FOUGHT GOD. they're a bit too up their own ass with this. you can tell that dabb thinks he's very clever. sam... gets a dog again? at least. i guess. the pacing is bad. I don't hate this on principle but it is not executed well. I am having like no emotional response to this except maybe relief for sam in a horrid way. like, you're free! at what cost. it's like the opposite of season 5? sam survives instead of dean. and... sam marries a dog. where do they get all this fucking lumber!!! did sam chop that all himself dude if he woke up to "heat of the moment" i'd lose my shit in the best way. gabriel wins. "gotta keep you on your toes." what had to change in this because of the pandemic? at least sam has a dog to be in scenes with him. the two guns as big and little brothers is an interesting choice of a shot. god the fucking phones. "DHS" "CIA" "dean's 'other other' phone" "state patrol" what's the paperwork on his desk? (512) is an Austin area code I have this on amazon prime and the saddest thing thus far is X-Ray: Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester, with no other actors at all. meta ways, pandemic related. "this is agent bon jovi" donna's alive??? sam just quit, babe. just quit. or take a day off at least, jesus. didn't you just drive back from ohio are you even gonna go back to the bunker DEAN IN HEAVEN!!! how'd you get here. "well at least I made it to heaven" lmao he said the same thing oh hey bobby!! I love jack god i've missed jim beaver you guys moved on to dream bubbles!!!!! RUFUS how very homestuck + narnia of you, starring sam winchester as susan pevensie so jack just like melded all of these metaphysical spaces, I'm cool with that "so the question is what are you gonna do now, dean?" get a better beer so I can drink and drive with my car that's in heaven, I'm already dead so who cares what I hit TELL ME WHERE IS BALTHAZAR FOR I MUCH DESIRE TO SPEAK WITH HIM break everyone out of the empty I do get the impression this was supposed to be a big cast reunion and the pandemic clobbered that :( oh it's the original license plate on the impala sure do love that cas and jack "helped" to give dean everything he's ever wanted. the only time "carry on my wayward son" has been diegetic I guess sam and the dog had a child I like jared in glasses are we doing a bunch of elderly makeup yeah there he is did they just spray grey temp dye on his hair or what is sam gonna drive into toluca lake!!! buddy please don't just run the engine in a garage, he took off his glasses and that makes me nervous jake gyllenhaal looking dude which cover is this must be nice to have healthcare I so appreciate that sam's wife has zero personality and is merely in the background, of no importance whatsoever compared to his kid named dean are the two impalas gonna meet in heaven????? vancouver is beautiful, or wherever this is at jared looks so cozy in that coat you can tell j2 really do love each other for real the majesty of that forest/that river got me choked up a bit, it's such a lonely thing. like. I can see what they were going for? like dean just... getting sick, falling off a ladder, getting in a car accident, etc etc would've been more potent, I think. the execution was not good. I'm not that unhappy though. it's all right. eh. it's fine. the heartfelt message from the cast (what's left of them....) and the crew was sweet. I want to know what they were intending to do? I feel like you can definitely feel the weight of COVID fucking this up which is genuinely upsetting. sam gets like 50 years of being free of dean I GUESS???? perhaps the only way to break the cycle.

at least there was no sexual assault in this episode. i have definitely watched way worse episodes of this show. it's like. twee. but I can't be mad at these guys especially with how much I know jared in particular has been struggling with the state of the world this year but jensen talked about it with rosenbaum on his show too. 2020 has been rough. like. at least they filmed it. whatever. I feel like I get what they were trying to do even if circumstances meant it wasn't really pulled off. it seems like they were supposed to have a big cast reunion and the pandemic took the wind completely out of their sails. this feels incredibly tacked on. 15x19 would've been a much better place to stop. I feel like I just read andrew dabb's notes. I get what they were trying to go for but they didn't pull it off. I thought it was gonna be a lot worse tbh in summary: EHHHHHHHHH

INHERIT THE EARTH

SPOILERS BELOW but I guess I’m late to the party huh

oh boy here goes, it's 12/10/2020 as I write this and I've had social media blacklisting SPN tags for the last month so I could get into the headspace to deal with this, I have not heard good things but although I got 15x19 spoiled for me I have somehow avoided 15x20 spoilers so let's see joining me is Two Brothers Pinch of Grace beer and Angel's Envy rum cask rye whiskey a "familiar face" returns? the dog? oh boy it's a buckleming episode I can't wait. how much of this footage was shot after lockdown, is what I want to know. what changed. I am upset that I'm walking into Jack Dying, the episode, on the heels of Cas Dying, the episode the violin is soulful and good at least thank you Jack. thank you for asking where he is. I love this shot of sam against the power lines. he looks so small. dean I really don't want you to be the one pretending you give a shit and trying to "comfort" jack. nice reverse establishing shot of the earth. "hokay. so, here's the earth." oh hey jake abel. I guess I knew that. doesn't mark pellegrino show up too. they're the only PCs left oh sweetheart :( he's trying to pray to him. so buckleming remembered that was an option, huh, just not like. in the ma'lak box jack sitting on that giant retail planter is so damn sad man the fucking uh, the empty news chair with the camera rolling is wild. I love you sam I love rob and every time I see him I'm sad that they made chuck such an asshole calling jack a "lapdog" wow. indeed. okay chuck you're ripping off The Road or whatever, we get it jack has like honest to god pajamas. maybe they were from the dryad or whoever for christmas dean passed out on the floor huh he found a liquor store and he drank it is jack hearing angel radio again doggo "I love you miracle dog" this dog honestly is the best thing oh there he goes :( rickrolled "maybe that's the point. no one left to save. no one but us." sam is better at reading than dean is okay that is a COOL fucking camera angle looking down from above the crucifix this does feel a lot lonelier, like early seasons are we looking at the stations of the cross, is that what the pages were turned to. I couldn't quite see jake abel, I wish I had not missed your baking show with misha that instagram failed to record :( "poor bastard never caught a break" no fucking kidding, RIP adam (finally) michael's been running PR on earth I can't get over how much it looks like jack and adam/michael should be related can michael read the death book? lmao this is how a lot of people seem to feel about books in general, like it's causing them pain to try to read. dramatic music as no one can read it's chuck pranking them again. guaranteed. LMAOOOOO OR LUCIFER so the empty can eject angels back onto earth. fascinating. ah, betty is a reaper. she's gonna come back as death, huh so she can read the book tbh good for her the headbutt was good death starter kit with the decoder ring lmaooooo GOD talking to them like they're petty children is honestly making my day!!! "not a group project" I mean even if she was with them she could just lie about what it says. not okay with leaving jack and lucifer alone "almost-mighty" is really funny the house of cards is good lucifer's right about "fuck god" is betty the empty hahaha you guys got fucked "mikey's a cuck" wow. thanks buckleming. cuckleming? archangel blade??? jack u ok did sam hook michael up with that??? sam is smart. thank fuck. sam'll have it cracked in an hour. sam's got the book of the damned and google translate: enochian (that he cowrote with castiel) sam's a witch wherever they're filming is gorgeous GET HIM, SAM, PUNCH GOD IN THE FACE that was inspired. that was like bobby singer shooting lucifer levels of inspired. buckleming had to get their torture in. last hurrah for the torture train where's jack??? this is what people mean when they say "I like to torture my OCs" you know you didn't have to be an asshole to your grandchild, dude I like when everybody's eyes glow but especially jack's this empty book is trump's COVID plan. just blank sheets of paper stapled together sam is smart. jack's like a mushroom. just soaks up all the good juices in the pan. what if sam and dean make out in the next episode and we find out becky wrote the whole show. maybe you just have to be a regular jackoff, chuck. dean pretty much is the ultimate killer. I mean yeah that is who you are, dean how victorious. you die sick and alone and forgotten with no healthcare. america! this is a bummer. is this victorious? did we win? lmao the sign "ONE MORE!" is that a teal impala over there how do you have extras in this episode, yeesh how much was stock footage, if any "What do we call you?" "Who cares what we call him? All that matters is that we got him back online." fuck off dean at least let jack answer "of course he's coming back" fuck off dean why would he come back with you if he can do anything he wants GO FIND CAS fuck off dean just fuck off dude, you don't get to boss him around how freudian, kill your grandfather who is god very demiurge of you, jack jack's off to be a blind watchmaker I love how he waves, jack is adorable god they're like literally red oni blue oni (red jackass, blue jackass?) over here lmao, these shirts when did cas and jack write their names on the table, they only count now that they're dead? or did I miss something earlier this shot of "what is and what should never be" absolutely breaks my goddamn heart. top fave. fuck. this is a sweet tribute how is this not the end???? I like how kim rhodes and misha collins get special guest star credits for their voicemails/fake phone call literally how is this not the ending to the show. why is there another episode. sans undertale appears to warn me not to watch the next episode. "you're gonna have a bad time." a friend who's not in the fandom asked me "is the tetanus thing for real" and I was like "??????????" and that's the only thing I know going into this. what do they do, drive into toluca lake have a jared and jensen spa day I caught wind of someone saying like "what if sam wakes up to 'heat of the moment' again" which would be BRILLIANT but they're not that clever do they just get stabbed by a regular-ass ghost? do we delete the whole universe and salt and burn the show itself? where do we even go from here. how many sharks are left to jump. someone said "sam gets shot by navient for unpaid student loans" and that is fucking funny and too real sam dies of muscular dystrophy and dean sings "heat of the moment" to congress to allow stem cell research? what. what could you possibly write from here. and why would you. I feel like any shitpost thing I say is still gonna be more clever than what they came up with and I'm not sure I should even watch it. I also hate the idea that buckleming would have the last word but it was surprisingly watchable is this SPN's equivalent of the candy epilogue, but with zero self-awareness? the network swooping in for a final "fuck you" like they did to mark sheppard? what. what even. I don't know if I want to know

DESPAIR

SPOILERS BELOW / tw suicide sort of

ah the title really does sum this up. I am filled with such dread going in. I know cas gets sent to super hell, I know the destiel shippers are declaring it canon (but then, when haven't they), and I've heard from a reliable source that the show officially as of just now is queerbaiting for real by making it vague and easy to ignore it instead of actually confirming anything. plus nobody seems to give a fuck about jack, as usual, and sam didn't get to say goodbye? god how can this get better???? I hope buckleming got to fucking murder castiel! that would really improve this for me!!! the cherry on the shit sundae for real so okay here goes. ugh. I have this angel's envy bourbon at 1PM, oops. I feel like I will need it for this one more than the others I also am ensconced in my castiel trenchcoat + "be super good" shirt, and cas, crowley, and sam the q-pals are joining me. dean is banished to remain in the tote bag they live in. god I want to scream. this fucking synopsis "With the plan in full motion, Sam, Dean, Castiel and Jack fight for the good for the common goal." oh the plan to use Jack as a suicide bomb???? great idea. lol I hate this. whose "common good"????????? ah but yes dean runs a dictatorship right. no wonder chuck butts heads with him dean looks so fucking smug in the amazon prime video app, hovering over the episode where cas will die horribly. fuck. there is nothing that can emotionally prepare me for this episode the show is going to end with sam and dean because it started with sam and dean and chuck/the IRL writers are bitter about it I guess??? delete fucking everything god, very fucking cute of dean to be like WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING!!! you fucking piece of shit you forcememed this to go as quickly as possible because you want Jack fucking dead, don't pretend you care god. fuck. jack apologizing for dying, to the empty. I hate everything so much ah, so that's why the opening title screen has been that. gross. horrible. a jack singularity is that it? really? jack's dead? just like that. okay. awful. oh he's MAYBE dead. reassuring. I see that briana buckmaster and jim beaver will be joining us my cat is sitting in front of the TV trying to prevent me from watching this, trying to save me from myself oh and felicia day oh this one's written by robert berens, I mostly trust him I think sam should've photocopied the book first oh hey RSJ directed this one I'm glad to have rachel miner back in any capacity that's... alpha/omega on the side there? makes sense I hope it's a fake book god I love sam sitting on the like. what is that, weird equipment panels? more confirmation sam is queer, you heard it here what leverage does dean even think he has cool jack's just getting tortured now "the boy is still useful" at least billie isn't pretending to care about him. oh she left the book thank fuck cas goes to him right away, please hug this child alcohol is not gonna help you guys sleep oh here's dean's half-assed apology. "sorry not sorry that I just couldn't stop, I couldn't help it, I just wanted to get what I wanted, and now that I didn't get what I wanted, sowwy uwu I guess" "you've snapped me out of worse" yeah don't minimize this, sam oh yeah michael exists. I notice dean refers to him as michael and not including adam. way to go I notice that sam does not drink right away "to somehow" those eggs look great "no guns at the table" is a solid rule not only for how miserable that is, but because everything surrounding firearms is a carcinogen and doesn't need to be near food please love yourself charlie please eat good eggs am I supposed to know stevie, was she part of the alternate universe, I still like never watched most of 10-13 oh we're gonna kill MULTIPLE queer characters in this episode, awesome. we gonna kill charlie AGAIN??????? we brought her back just to kill her off, AGAIN? LIKE KEVIN? and bobby I guess?? can I just say how much I hate the concept of a "final boss fight" like why is it always ending in a fight, why is violence always the answer, and why do we feel like one final violent action will solve all the problems huh charlie's shirt looks like a tycho album cover okay so I didn't forget stevie, she was brand new? maybe? I love cas and jack :( feels strange because this all sucks there's no such thing as destiny, jack don't fucking die for sam and dean and 'the world' damn right, cas, he doesn't need "absolution" well that's true for you, cas, you care because he's him. dean just wants to use him cas and jack are good. charlie this was so not your fault. as usual this is the winchesters' fault. tell 'em charlie!!! get 'em!!! you're not sorry, dean. "What now?" is a huge fucking mood, dean oh, greg! our old friend! greg was a real one (but not anymore) yeah eileen's screwed. this includes sam too. and dean i guess. sam is a good person who cares about people despite dean's best efforts to stop him I can't see who he's texting. are cas and jack in the back? poor eileen :( god poor sam having to basically get eileen in front of eyewitnesses who can attest that she disappeared cas and jack are in the backseat yeah I wish he'd tell her she's never gonna reply now yeah she's gone. interesting use of technology that they couldn't've done earlier in the series, to show she was typing but then stopped god that's awful. fuck. "If I let myself go then I'll lose my mind. I can't, right now." that's a huge fucking mood sam let's just postpone all that grief for later. gotta shove it down. huge fucking mood. god I'm so sorry somewhere central... the... bunker? don't split everyone up dean, fuck yes revenge is definitely the answer. killing things is the answer. "not having a choice" is obviously the answer. you fucker we get a sam and dean hug but where's the one for cas. you can like... see it in sam and jack's eyes that they are worried they're never gonna see them again. I'm horrified that cas isn't getting to say goodbye to jack nor sam. I can't handle this. I guess this scene is where they took that last group photo that misha posted back in march? RIP :( oh hey donna jack, that feeling is TheDepression oh gas-n-sip sam's sweet to try to give jack some autonomy here instead of having him just... being shuffled around like baggage. is that eileen's car then this music is intense don't burn the fucking library also wow dean with the reaper blade again is oof. wow. yikes. dean is become death, destroyer of worlds for real. jesus that is fucking horrifying to see. aren't you, dean? aren't you a bringer of death. remember when you hated doing that back in season... 4? 5? later? dean has learned nothing. sam's been trapped in a silo before hasn't he. or that panic room or something. donna is sweet. jack is good. jack deserves better. sam :( donna is very kind I like hearing jody and garth mentioned even if they're not in this episode (?) oh hey charlie sam at least knows how you feel, charlie I like this set god I've missed jim beaver is jack going around with spraypaint? I'm like oh god there's no ventilation. I guess it's a paint bucket but still the fumes are bad. better than being evaporated though I guess big man on campus. RIP stanford sam at least there's a bucket. praeses magna. "president large"? thinking about how it would be impossible to have extras for episodes 19 and 20 I like watching jack paint RIP that plant. apparently he has his powers dean walks around way too comfortably with the reaper scythe. oh but the plan has changed. did billie leave that book and nobody read it?????? dean you don't have friends, bud. yeah how did you tink you would even stand a chance, dean. this is the worst plan ever I'm so tired of seeing cas get tortured. I don't want to see billie get hurt either. is "billie" actually the empty or something "Has virtutes conliga. Eas integra. Eas firma. Nos omnes serva." = "These virtues bind. Those infected. These are strong. We keep them all." idk google translate, I feel like that may not be "infected" but more like integrity I like the effects they did on the wardings there yeah pretty much you can't stop god oh I'm real sad about that couple who vanished together :( bye charlie bye bobby. :( bye donna??? oh that like gold paint gossamer looking shit going on with billie's arm is cool god I'm glad billie smacked him in the face, dean deserves it. I just rewound it to see dean get clocked again, it's so worth it so they went back to the bunker... for what? billie can just go there. sam and jack are gonna have such a rough fucking day. all those double cheeseburgers are back for revenge on dean billie's right actually. dean always thinks the rules don't apply to him because he thinks he should be making the rules. castiel should be with jack, not with dean. fuck. can't cas still heal people the scythe on the wall is a good visual. I really like lisa berry, she does an amazing job is this the same room with the ma'lak box always happy to bleed for the winchesters. christ. fuck. even with dean's pocketknife. cas I'm so sorry. sweetheart you don't deserve this. 7B? so Jack was trapped in 5B, this is a different room but probably the same actual setpiece just rearranged do you just... have to wait her out yeah yeah dean you suck. correct, you never should've left sam and jack. wow I feel zero sympathy for dean at all. you do it to yourselllllf you do, that's what really hurts. oh baby don't summon the empty please :( I'm so glad to know that cas never told them about how he saved jack, it's none of their business yeah it would be with jack, cas. you should be with him man this is shitty. this is like a bad fanfic for real. wow these shots are like, when it cuts between them it's so obvious these were not the same camera lmao fuck. how many takes was this god i hate dean. he has not done this for love. dean is a spiteful person. "you're the most caring man on earth" literally kill me. I want to die. jesus fuck. i want to be dead this is awful this sucks this actually really hurts. this sucks so much. dean you squandered this angel's life. now jack has no father. i hate you dean winchester. i hate you. you don't deserve cas loving you jack knows, jack can feel it. I hate hate hate hate hate hate that jack is left alone with the winchesters. i hate this. jesus fuck i hate this so much i hate this jack sweetheart I'm so sorry dean you fucking ass please pick up the fucking phone. please answer sam. i hate you god dean i hate you fuck dean you are the worst. fuck my life. fuck all this. fuck this show. i'm so angry castiel deserves so much better than this. fuck i'm so mad. why wasn't his moment of happiness knowing that JACK WASN'T GOING TO DIE. i hate this. I'm so upset. fucking shit-ass writing. and it's still not fucking canon you morons at least uh they don't have to have extras for the last two episodes? did they add that footage after? is that what got changed up? everyone's gone huh. god just. dump the show right into the trash. bye. also for fuck's sake nobody gives a fuck about jack like I didn't even know he survived. nobody cares. "sam didn't get to say goodbye" FUCKING JACK DIDN'T GET TO SAY GOODBYE fuck this so much. fuck, is dean just chuck's OC? made in his image and furious that his mini-me isn't acting the way he wants? is that why he gets exonerated at every turn? "all the evil shit you did is fine dean you're the MOST LOVING AND THE BESTEST EVER!!!" fuuuuuck

UNITY

SPOILERS BELOW - backdated from 10/30/2020

oh boy just the synopsis is making me scream. I'm convinced Cas is gonna die in this episode :(

"After a difference of opinion leaves Sam and Castiel behind, Dean hits the road with Jack to complete a final ritual in the quest to beat Chuck."

a difference of opinion huh???? "should Jack kill himself y/n" "let's just agree to disagree" hmmmmm fuck that

Sam won a lot of points with me for confronting Dean's bullshit in the last episode so I've got the Sam and Cas Q-pals plush toys out here to keep me company, along with some Angel's Envy which has been fairly necessary the whole way. trying to watch this one before the GISH hunt goes live so nobody in fucking YouTube comments spoils me

amara is reading murakami's norwegian wood. this bird has flown, huh

this is beautiful and it was probably filmed in like, someone's hotel in vancouver but

I like her swimsuit

the aurora borealis? at this time of year? in this part of the county? localized entirely within your hot springs?

castiel was in mexico?

thank god for sam and cas working together and "wel'l find a way. just get home." thank god for sam not speaking to dean.

"that's the only way" fuck you dean

I love rob benedict and I'm sad that chuck's shitty now

oh rachel miner is in this one

amara & jack is making me very sad, they were both locked up

I like the sound when amara disappears

oh thank god meredith glynn wrote this one

sam is trying to be kind

we've got two references to "blindly following orders" in last episode and this

thank fucking god for sam.

"jack's not family" OOF. OOF!!!!!!! tell us how you really feel, dean. we been knew, as they say

jack gets to ride shotgun but at what cost. what a miserable roadtrip

thank god for the academics.

this clearing/scene reminds me of the man who would be king, quite a bit

I love rob and I'm happy to see him even with the circumstances

oh chuck's editing the title cards huh. like it's clerks.

google lens tells me that amara has a "boat orchid"

ferns and fractals are pretty cool. ferns are very old too

silicon-based life is pretty cool too

I do understand chuck wanting a clean slate

when a bell rings an angel gets their wings, right

where are the heaven scenes filmed

chuck's gotten real bitter. chuck and dean have more in common now than dean and amara.

villains do indeed get all the best lines

IS it a trap? so it's not the bunker itself, it's amara's power?

god, poor jack.

so these are adam and eve, huh, or lilith? oh serafina.

"his aura, it's like skittles"

300,000 years huh. that's a long evolution of an idea.

the "which one did god touch" test is like what they did with Aang to pick the toys he wanted that the previous Avatars had had

well done "all of the above" jack

ah, a rib.

"You'll collapse into a living black hole for divine energy. One nothing can escape -- not the darkness, not God himself." how very homestuck of you, jack

I liked those actors a lot

you gonna apologize, dean? ever? no.

you gonna say that you never lived at all, for real? seriously, dean? none of this has mattered? that jack should die so you can do what you want. you'll say thank you, but not apologize. still no apology for locking him up. just more manipulation. I hate this.

fuck you dean.

ew god is he gonna eat that

don't do it, jack

:(

so his grace and soul are two parts of a whole, huh. like chuck and amara.

:( aw cas picking the book up for sam is such a good moment

yes god i want sam to be able to go into that library

"a treatise on the realms of death" love it

I love the cas & sam intense research extravaganza. that's it, that's the ship. good teamwork

if rachel miner is in this then the empty is in this

there's a lot of shit in the bunker

oh cas found it

not gonna translate for us, huh

"Sam, for what it's worth I don't think you're crazy. I think your internal compass is functioning perfectly."

I love them :(

who's the dead guy in the W section huh

oh a lotta dead guys, did chuck kill these angels actually "they're just away"

oh is that the empty then having a good time with the angels

yeah there they are

I love rachel miner, I love that misha set the standard for how the empty acts and then everyone else is matching his mannerisms

god, sam is smart. he's a good liar when he needs to be.

"God's so protective of his little sandcastles" is a great line.

I LOVE YOU SAM

sam! is smart!!!

rob is so good at being cruel that it is upsetting to watch

sam, always gotta know everything, can't leave well enough alone. that is a big mood.

"I'm trying to get you to listen" indeed, it never fucking works

wow, jesus. pulled a fucking gun on sam.

"what part of 'omniscient' don't you people understand" indeed

"[Dean] could send you into the meat grinder with a wink and a smile." that is what he always does

amara should've talked to sam instead of dean, dean doesn't care about people

chuck can also send people into the meat grinder with a wink and a smile. who wrote dean? :')

"I'd trade 'em all for Chuck, in a heartbeat"

"What about me? Would you trade me?" and dean doesn't answer right away, huh. sam's supposed to be dead many times over, according to the empty

so chuck now houses angelic grace and demonic... uh, darkness?

"You consumed your sister?" also very homestuck of you, alt!Calliope-Chuck

sounds like a lighter not quite sparking

do your toys spark joy, chuck

oof.

that was A Lot

I expected Cas to die but we got Jack getting all fucked up instead, we got the sad ending credits music

DRAG ME AWAY (FROM YOU)

TW SUICIDE I GUESS

spoilers below - backdated from 10/29/2020

is this named after toto's "africa"? I hope this is not a buckleming episode (but then, I always hope that) I feel like I recognize this "travis johnson" actor too but I don't know why this a motel for monsters? vampires? why do I know this name don't off yourself, dude. please. a ghost? oh boy. this child actor is terrifying oh fucking dean, why won't you tell sam what's going on. "it's just cas being cas." I'm so upset always with how dean won't talk to sam honestly. cas clearly doesn't want it withheld from sam! and lmao shout-out to the "don't text and drive" PSA this aerial shot is gorgeous along the lake oh those matching converse, so you can easily identify your child's shoes the child actors they cast for young sam and dean are always so spot-on 😭 I'm so proud of sam for getting into stanford oh the winchester family music, don't make me cry :( I love the visual of the gun/knife laid out next to the college guide, it's making me very sad how life turned out for sam (it's smamford that has hunter classes) "my delight" bar? I trust meghan she's also a car nerd immersion therapy to face your fears of things that don't exist... doesn't work when monsters are real a witch? haunted vending machine... I love the "monsters are real" talk. I note that young dean leaves out sam, "my dad and I hunt them" the abductions were with increasing frequency maybe it only eats kids but travis was "the one that got away" god how old is dean like 13? is caitlin better at picking locks I was expecting the abduction sites to form a pentagram or something aw, boggle it's been a while since we had a weechesters episode, hasn't it the boggle letters can spell KILL, PIE, DEAF, HAT, TALL, PILL, PIT, DEW, FAD, WON, NAY and probably some others but I'm not 100% I remember the rules or boggle either. KILL is the most visible at a glance dean stop lying to people ah SAM KILL YOU NOW sure there you go TRAVIS DEAD DEATH KILL YOU NOW yikes, worst game of boggle ever pretty sure not all of those were in the boggle, there are missing letters, like the R for TRAVIS ah, the ring. it's always some haunted jewelry with witches, like that amulet in that other episode with the witch stealing the girls' life force this is like the uh, the episode with the box. where the shit in the safe had sam trying to kill himself with fake rowena she's like a pied piper or something "we used to keep a lot of secrets from each other!" says sam, while dean is withholding information from him right this very instant a veggie burger, at least he asked I love billie's jacket billie's not wrong but dean IS a piece of shit I think caitlin is actually the monster because we know the monster can appear as other people, and "the funeral was last week" so that's... interesting and now she is alone with sam dean prioritizes chuck's death over jack's life, and there it is. that's that. he knows sam won't go for it. he knows cas wants another solution. so he lies to billie, again. they have great locations in this show "liquid bubbling" does not bode well front desk girl, BUT IS SHE??? there's 214 again, "I've seen this movie before" is he referring to 1408 or something else was that a heart? this motel has its very own wet pipe factory isn't the IT sequel that the surviving kids get hunted, I haven't seen either of them yeah take that dean stop being a liar "call this number" do they still have a hunter switchboard or something, wasn't it basically just bobby? I guess it can be AU bobby GOD thank you sam for not letting him pull that shit, fuck dean for mocking "ethical questions" in scarequotes (from the subtitles), and thank fuck for sam winchester "I thought we were past this, I cannot believe you" oh same, oh same so much. pretty solid one, feeling tentatively positive about this except i'm afraid castiel is gonna die in the next episode 😬 so not enthusiastic about that

GIMME SHELTER

spoilers below - backdated from 10/29/2020

boy I'm delayed watching this oops and I still haven't gotten to a real computer to post my last one with a readmore, oh well. watching on 10/29 after turning tumblr notifications off for like two weeks WHOOPS I spent the last two weeks binge watching Venture Bros, which I had never seen, because it was about the only thing that was keeping me from being glued to the 24 hour news cycle unhealthily I have such mixed feelings, it feels like an obligation to keep up and the FOMO is intense. I'm doing GISH this weekend and I don't want to be spoiled. I vaguely know some shit with Amara goes down. I'm afraid Castiel is going to die in the one that's airing tonight 😬 so here we go. oic this is the one with Cas and Jack that gets involved with a sex cult or something, great father-son bonding moment. bleh. who wrote this one I do love that Jack has learned to 1) listen to Billie 2) not show his hand to the Winchesters I never actually watched S11, my knowledge of it comes only from MOTW "maybe she should eat outside, like away from people" just thinking about how this scene would be impossible to film now this kid looks like mark zuckerberg I currently have the same hair as the pastor thanks to not having a haircut since february I feel like I'm supposed to recognize that actor but I'm blanking never walk into a creepy alley, kid, that's how everybody dies boy those are red red shoes okay the teddy bear shit is extra funny with Rusty Venture and the Teddy Talk-To-Me bear https://venturebrothers.fandom.com/wiki/Teddy_Talk-To-Me_Doll oh it's always "this thing in Missouri" something is always wrong in Missouri, the monster could easily just be the cops and the klan which are the same thing "right now weak is all we have" me after intending to exercise for the last 7 months and not doing it I'm so glad to see Cas "the local cops can handle it" in columbia MO almost certainly it was the cops who did it :( cas looking to sam for some semblance of reason and sam leaving him hanging 😭 matching ties!! blue is a good color on him agent lovato lmfao it's so cute he holds it upside down like cas did years ago, I don't care if it's cliché I love it oh my god jack, graduated from CSI lmao ah written by davy perez, he's solid summoning a demon huh "like sam always says, when in doubt try social media" I love that castiel loves cat photos and was overwhelmed by the sheer volume jack asking for cas' permission to join facebook, god zack has style and his eyes flashed red, is he crowley, is he trying to be crowley work-life balance lmao what does this guy want "sometimes humans can be the worst kind of monsters" damn right :( I love them together oh she's helping herself to the cash huh idk if this is supposed to be referencing Saw with the... doll? mask instead of a pig mask, and the bear with the names instead of the puppet sam I wish you'd like... put your foot down with dean more, or ever again. at all. is the pastor killing everyone because that seems possible since the very start oh my god jack, "where can I find the kool-aid" cas watching this prayer like "oh god hates us" are we doing a seven deadly sins thing like seven meets saw maybe it's the other girl? is she jealous? :( kelly... "I have more dads than most" jack is sweet "put your trust in god, not people" oof. that's a lot when he's gotta kill god my old couch looked like this one castiel's on A/V and tech huh, the room sure did have weird TV shit rigged up "a saint is a sinner who keeps trying" so when are we canonizing cas, then I'm like jealous of sam and dean being able to get snacks at a gas station hi amara! god I want a pierogi so bad "god, you go by so many names" chuck shurley! carver edlund I love how jack waves hello :( oh cas this is so sweet, ugh, I love them "it's not about what they believe, it's about what they do" pretty much, I wish more people felt like this "dean, you don't 'get' anything" mood it's fucked to me that dean so obviously can't imagine not betraying his brother when he claims that sam is the most important thing oh yeah this is some se7en shit man. I like amara. I like this music too dean I understand holding onto anger and bitterness but yikes dude ""Can I trust you?" "I would never hurt you." oooooooof god is this girl doing it for clicks is the daughter doing it???? what the fuck is happening ohhhhh man. cas please heal this girl's fingers thank you I love when people look at cas with awe and wonder and gratitude, it's so few and far between now oh it's that demon, zack "I spent my life taking care of all these other people, I should've been taking care of her" cas should get to spend more time with jack I'm so glad cas and jack can talk by themselves oh jack :( this is a classic suicide mission man fuck their forgiveness THANK YOU CASTIEL literally who gives a fuck about dean's forgiveness. this show will sacrifice everything for dean's opinion. ah, that one was actually good. thank you davy perez. I'm glad castiel won't just accept that this "isn't his choice" because jack shouldn't die for the winchesters. jack shouldn't die for the universe, even. fuck this self-sacrifice shit and fuck "atonement" and fuck all of that. what's the point of ever calling yourself team free will if you accept bullshit non-choices okay I better watch the next one and get caught up

LAST HOLIDAY

spoilers below - backdated from 10/9/020

oh hey abaddon, is alaina huffman in this? that would be nice all these beheadings, damn I couldn't watch this live when it aired because I don't have cable but I bought season 15 on amazon this time last fucking year so technically any time after 2AM I could've watched it, not actually sure I'll make it through everything tonight because I started at 10pm and I am Tired the livestream misha did was fun for the first 30 minutes but then I had to turn it off to avoid spoilers so I guess I will revisit that later I like sam's flannel in this one too. like gold, light grey, dark grey? A+. this is queer flannel. this is from EXPRESS, not Kohl's the bunker has a gas stove I guess which I should've known having all the appliances fail suddenly is very relatable to me and perhaps one of the worst monsters of all don't mock luigi, he knows how to deal with ghosts sam has the plans and dean just smashes buttons god that burger does look great "meat man" who wrote this one ah the dean deluxe the scooby doo boxers are pretty cute honestly who is jeremy adams 1958, yeesh "everybody?" "everybody's dead" standby mode huh, were they supposed to have like... lights this plot is very narnia, wake up to find out everyone you loved is dead they have extra abilities in the lead-up to the final boss, and the network is willing to spend more on the electricity to give them more lighting sam is right to doubt anything ever being good is anyone going to tell jack they're leaving him alone with some random person and lmao thank you sam as I was typing this he pointed that out jack's shirt/sweater looks very cozy snickerdoodles are great magic roomba... thanks for calling him the son of satan, lucifer doesn't even want to be called satan "ignoring your trauma doesn't make you healthy" THANK YOU SAM time + space, indeed uh just throwing this out there he could use some emotional support too probably please accept this sandwich as an offer of solidarity god it's nice to see alex be allowed to emote again leave these guys alone, they're drinking blood packs with curly straws aw, come on :( those guys didn't deserve that I guess if she's a wood nymph she can summon a christmas tree? where's the secret christmas decoration storage room in the bunker yeah tell sam to smile :\ I hate holidays except halloween god I love how jack waves I do love how much jensen loves wearing goofy outfits, this made me smile big time. I'm glad they clearly had so much fun on the set with this stuff especially knowing what comes next IRL :( she's right to be worried about his cholesterol just waiting for the other shoe to drop with something terrible befalling this group watching dean run in that outfit is hilarious poor jack doesn't deserve all this but I'm glad that she's helping him kind of work through the grief where the fuck is cas so it seems like ultra fucked up to be watching them do no-knock shit into people's homes and shooting them no questions asked, and it has always seemed fucked up but right now the methodical nature of this and their goofy smiles taking packed lunches while setting out to murder people minding their own business is not cool with me and never has been the 50s were bad, actually god sam has the hammer of thor. thank fuck. is it may? is it sam's birthday in-universe? what files was she going through, eyes emoji jack is smart, actually oh boy is she brainwashed, are they keeping her held hostage with magic or something, because the men of letters don't give a FUCK about monsters and will use them jack's a millennial and can look up instructions for how to operate a reel to reel and 100% knows what it is because he lives in the bunker "son of a bitch" jack's spending too much time with dean sam has a big date huh, I hope it's with eileen "abercrombie and bitch" IT IS EILEEN!!! dean should definitely be nicer to sam poor jack has no one to turn to for help :( where is cas!!!! can they not afford to pay misha also I don't feel sorry for nazis there are a lot of beheadings on this show, pulling someone's head off definitely seems like yanking on a plant vs pruning it with sharp pruning shears or whatever oh you're shitty lady "do you ever think they're scared of what you'll do to someone else" uh yeah there was that time they locked him in a coffin please stop hurting this child if she's so sure sam and dean would approve then she'd do it when sam and dean can see her yeah I am not surprised she was poisoning him MAKE THE BUNKER SAFE AGAIN!!!!! maga shit, get rid of all the monsters, says a monster the writing here is.... iffy. little heavyhanded dean's thinking about it, that's what's so fucked. like "look I already tried to kill him one time" we just keep comparing jack to snakes but I prefer when yockey's doing it sam looks so much like vincent from silent hill 3 in this outfit sam really is the smart one. jack's a child, he hasn't had a lot of experience with this. dean... I guess tried to explain what he wanted but didn't realized he'd get overruled but sam is smart because sam knows how to deal with witchy shit. like he'd survive in a hansel and gretel situation. GET HIM JACK GET HIM this is BULLSHIT dean tried to kill him and he didn't answer the question re: "do you still think i'm a monster" fuuuuuck this WHERE IS CASTIEL, why is jack always trapped alone with dean and unable to get away OTL dean won't admit he himself is a monster either lol oops. or that sam is. oops!! dean is mourning the loss of omelets and his new mom who can cook and some semblance of normality "evil mary poppins" is very funny to me because I've been watching venture bros and dr killinger has been showing up how long has this been actually? sam's birthday is in may, did they actually celebrate all those holidays in real time? I got the impression that it was a holidays-speedrun but now I'm doubting myself why is it always torture THANK YOU SAM!! SAM SAID IT!!!! "jack is not a monster, he's a kid who's gone from one tragedy to another" THANK YOU!!! sam just won so many points with me for saying it out loud "pain is just weakness leaving the body" huh, at least it opened the door :\ sam poor baby lost all his fucking fingernails trying to stand up for jack :( it's wild seeing smoeone's eyes glow green this is why cas can't be here, because castiel could just stop her just go back to your forest lady sam's right, the men of letters just use monsters for their own ends sam goes "we care about him" dean goes "oh yeah jack's useful" which to be fair dean's trying to logic/rationalize it, that the world needs jack, but I don't know that those lines would have been reversed insofar as characterization feeling authentic she's having trouble processing her own grief ah yeah there it is "sorry I ripped your fingernails off one by one" yeah god she hasn't seen the sun in decades?? "it's an interdimensional geoscope" "I looked into it earlier and didn't see anything" "oh that's... not good" I'm glad sam and jack are talking about how jack is feeling and if he needs to talk I'm glad dean is cooking happy birhday jack where is castiel for this I have mixed feelings but I guess this turned out okay, still waiting for DEAN TO APOLOGIZE TO JACK? but dean never apologizes to anyone. the cake is a step in the right direction but cake doesn't make up for locking him in a box and threatening to kill him several times over, sorry

DESTINY'S CHILD

spoilers below - backdated from 10/8/2020

oh boy here goes I put off watching this last episode because if the series never came back I didn't want my experience to end on a buckleming note but here goes

I still need to post my liveblogging for the last two, my fucking chromebook died right after the may stay-at-home hunt but I backed it up at least, but it took those text files with it except for when I get around to digging through the backup

the episode title gets several songs stuck in my head simultaneously

I'm wearing my GISH sock monkey DISOBEY shirt for this

god I am so infinitely sad about the bunker set being gone now

the recap footage makes me want a pizza so badly

I miss meg

the only thing I'm looking forward to about this one is I know gen and danneel are in it

god I fucking love savage garden, I've been following darren hayes' posts throughout quarantine and his dog is so cute

I had registered for a meditation webinar with lisa berry but Real Life got in the way and I missed it :(

why do buckleming episodes always have this "metal GEAR?????" question and answer exchange, sam's like "wow! that's in latin!" no shit

well if they have to be "not stupid" that's a no-go because buckleming constantly have everyone holding an idiot ball

good on jack for not divulging details to dean

sergei's back i guess??? didn't cas almost kill him last time and he almost killed sam or something bullshit like that

dean interrupting cas makes my blood boil

it is nice to see ruby again

if it's stashed in hell, like... just go ask rowena? usually they've killed off all their friends who could help but in this case she's still there and she's in charge so what's the problem.

why do sam and dean always resort to violent threats? oh yeah it's buckleming

oh well thank fuck that jack is preoccupied with dean's forgiveness and castiel is making excuses for dean's angry outbursts

excuse me why can't jack feel things without a soul, angels feel things without a soul, I guess if FEELING THINGS like a human is the only thing that matters then dean is the king of all feelings for "feeling acutely" fuck off

I hate that all the cas and jack moments wind up being about the winchesters

god you can tell jensen was struggling to deliver that ultra forced "air abracadabra jet lag" line

I like the idea of a welcome reception, good for rowena

why wouldn't dean know that sam and ruby dated, he threw it in sam's face plenty enough

castiel knows what being sexually intimate is, he's not stupid

it really does feel like the end of an RPG though where they just walk into hell like "no big deal, we're level 99"

I JUST WANT CAS AND JACK TO TALK ABOUT THEMSELVES FOR ONCE

normally I'd be all about this as a trust exercise but I'm really very upset jack is being asked to nearly kill the only person who loves him (yes kelly too but A) she's not exactly around B) he sort of killed her too :c so that's gotta be tough)

also this plot was 100% stolen from yockey's episode 13x05

"what if I screw up?"

"oh well then I'll be lost forever" uhhhh fucking excuse me?? cas would not be so flippant with ASKING HIS CHILD TO KILL HIM, also jack brought him back last time (????????) and I realize jack can't use his powers without drawing chuck's attention but isn't he using them to nearly kill castiel

god i hate buckleming this writing is so sloppy

I guess we're back to saying bitch all the time again

I'm legit disappointed that rowena isn't throwing parties

god i've missed meg, i've missed rachel miner

I've missed ruby too

I guess this is just... uh, what, cas and crowley but really it's aziraphale and crowley but now it's jo and ruby? sort of? again?

I am so uncomfortable when the winchesters boss jack around and especially that this is framed to make it look like "lol jack killed cas while you were gone" can't wait for that to be held against jack

not ever gonna be okay with dean calling castiel an idiot

won't opening a rift get his attention

also I'm feeling weirdly vindicated that the sam from another universe keeps winning rock paper scissors

"you get... paid?"

I've been watching a lot of venture bros lately so I almost want this AU sam and dean to be along those lines lmao

sam looks really cute with a "man bun" but it wouldn't be a buckleming episode without violence to women and plenty of homophobia

yeah I knew instantly it was hellhounds, why wouldn't it be guarded

I like this fake "search the web" brand youtube with cat videos, adorable

put the metal thingy in your mouth, guys, it'll be like putting a coin on your tongue or something like that, buckleming are not very clever

trust fund sam and dean, sam's drinking beer with a pinky up. god.

we can't leave bustyasianbeauties behind can we, yep, still here insisting upon it

ah yeah there we go, the garden of eden. of course. sure. why not

jack IS an angel, he's half angel, is he allowed to claim that or what

I'm glad cas is standing up for himself a bit at least?

is this girl... supposed to be a More Different lilith or the serpent or something

oh i guess not there's a snake

the garden of eden just has like, bromeliads

"snake hissing" says the subtitle, it's a burmese python who's been handled enough to be on camera, sure okay

oh i guess the girl was a snake who is maybe lucifer after all. this is a deep cut, buckleming. you guys are academics

I'm glad jack thinks primarily of dean for some reason when he starts to hallucinate

why didn't they barricade the door with the wooden pews or that chair i can clearly see next to the door, why aren't dean and cas helping sam hold the door back while they wait, literally what the fuck

god i fucking hate buckleming. oh yeah just go to brazil. it's being run by bolsonaro but no big deal

oh i love this slate grey shirt on sam

kinda glad I waited until now to watch because I could not have handled months of the last aired words of SPN being Jack begging "Please forgive me" for something that was not his fucking fault, and them... not forgiving him, and it cutting to credits

also fucking like, do buckleming think angels don't have regrets just because they don't have souls? like. fuck. god i'm so mad

I need a palate cleanser

the gamblers

SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT

trying to catch up

oh shit the grigori, you're bringing the grigori back?

I know they've been hustling pool since the start of this show but it's hard to see billiards and not think of homestuck now

it's like the scales of justice?

yeah I knew he was gonna get hit by a car or something as soon as they changed to that shot

cas shouts for sam first <3

and sam left him a note, notably signed only by sam

fandom sees this and we all collectively are like "I reject your reality and substitute my own" there is no way in hell I will ever write his name "Cass"

sam and dean trying to increase their luck is very vriska

sam's right about the heartburn

"this place isn't even in the lore!" ohhhhhh The Lore

I love sam playing shitty mobile games, I don't know if that's supposed to be candy crush or bejeweled or what

AGENT LIZZO

JACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JACK!!!!!!

awwwww sam sleeping in the car

super shitty for dean to have eaten all their food? poor sam wtf

"I was hoping for a cheeseburger." "You can't even digest cheese anymore." "Dude. Lactaid."

cheese does not actually have a lot of lactose in it, fun fact, it depends on the cheese. the creamier it is the more it's going to be an issue

okay so meredith glynn wrote this one maybe?

jack u ok

"I've been slinging pool cues since before you were born" "What when you were FOUR? Between nap time and snack? stfu"

I love you sam

is it a shifter who looks like jack?

damn a grigori sword

moira, huh. I spoiled myself for who she really is by looking up the actress but the amazon xray feature also just calls her out as "fortuna". INTERESTING.

also jack's in a wet pipe factory for real

:( big sad for joey six

have they been to alaska before this?

god sam I love you so much "what about everybody else?" you're SUCH A GOOD PERSON, SAM WINCHESTER

I like seeing cas doing his own thing and I'm so glad he's going to go find jack

good on sam for trying and I want them to help these people :(

I love jack and I know there's a reason for this

"we have our own frequency of angel radio" interesting!

wow fortuna that's cold

go sam go!!!! go go go go go go

see there you go, thanks jack. jack is good people. fuck the grigori

cas saved the day!!!!!!!! cas swordfighting!!!! CAS HUGGING JACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he doesn't even ask him what happened or demand answers first just immediately pulls him into a hug, doesn't matter how much he heard or didn't, just hugs it out, sobbing grossly brb

I think cas just fought him with his regular angel blade, better to use the weapon you're familiar with

I like fortuna taking shots at chuck and chuck's ego

sam you're so good, you've got a good heart dude

and I like that sam is stripes and dean is solids

they need to get pax to help them, he just watched his mom willing to throw his life away

or not, they're heroes, gross fucking sobbing!!!

"Don't play his game. Make him play yours." good advice

damn dean just kinda snatched that out of sam's hand huh

god I love that sam hugs him right away

it was not lost on me that sam "went behind dean's back" to get over to jack and embrace him

and I do NOT like dean's shit here, as usual. jack's afraid of him and has every right to be and dean isn't touching his face in any kind of kind or comforting way, he's grabbing him and scrutinizing him and sizing him up, the last time jack was alive, dean had come to execute him and only stopped because chuck made it ~not fun anymore~

and cas is so afraid of what they're going to say :(

you can see it in their eyes

and jack hugs sam back instantly and relaxes into it, and is clearly afraid of dean. just. miserable.

jack's joining a great line of RPG protagonists who kill god

also dean's super hung up on the angel hearts huh? and to cas "and you let him?"

boy I definitely thought that 15x12 was out already but it's not so I guess I AM caught up, hooray

the heroes’ journey

SPOILERS BELOW

oh it's the garth episode, I know because he's in the recap

also congrats dj qualls for coming out

I loved garth and i'm glad to see him back

clair de lune sure is a choice for this scene

I'm totally fucking blanking on what kind of SPN monster she is to have a spike like that

even if you didn't know garth was in this episode you could tell that guy was gonna be a werewolf because of how they cast werewolves in all TV ever

i love sam cooking...

I'm here for the high-density amount of piano in this episode thus far

sam sweetheart where the fuck are your oven mitts

honestly I fucking love seeing them deal with regular everyday bullshit like this, it's refreshing

"regular jackoffs" as they'd say on metalocalypse

written by andrew dabb so should be mostly okay

DEAN: It's Garth. [picks up] Hey, Garth. GARTH: Hey Dean, it's Garth. DEAN: [gestures to Sam like "duh"]

this is the most relatable Dean's been in several seasons, I feel this every day of my life

a "no good, very bad day" invokes a book I loved as a kid and I appreciate this

does he have twins named sam and dean? I feel like I already knew this maybe but can't remember

I absolutely do believe garth that dean smells good especially since he has not fought anything today

AHAHHAHHAHAH SAM AND CASTIEL THANK YOU GARTH

AMAZING

AMAZING A++++++++ i'm living

just little narcissist injury things, not having someone's kid named after you but having the kid named after your brother and friend

oh a wraith, with the stabby shit. that's right.

did dean just crack his tooth on a candy

oh yeah garth's a dentist.

I love the idea of garth being a werewolf dentist, I'm so happy for him. that's mutual aid, man

dean when is the last time you went to a dentist, honestly. have you ever gone. dean do you floss. this is america what am I talking about you haven't been to the dentist since mary died

"the giant's crying"

I like her stuffed wolf

17 cavities jesus christ

I feel like sam takes scoville units seriously, especially after the ghost pepper thing in the earlier episode

I love dean in this nitrous-oxide induced dream outfit, I love how much jensen is excited to dress up lmao

goddamn jensen and dj are excellent tap dancers?? nicely done

GARTH: We love 50 Shades. BESS: We do. BOTH LAUGH SAM: Who's the hero in that? GARTH: The point is--

god. GOD

"for the first time in your lives you're having normal people problems. you need to get a colonoscopy, stat"

glkdjlkdjfgldfkgjdflgk

"the furrowed brow and the puppy eyes, that never actually works for you does it?"

fucking owned, sorry sam

a grenade launcher jesus christ

seven grilled cheeses sounds delicious but also yes diarrhea inducing

oh he's puking instead well there you go

willing to bet this is just chuck wanting them to fight to the death in a cage fight

cutty is having them do final destination no items

I love the like UFC or whatever intro, the fucking mugshots

DEAN: Just how I wanted to die - with a freaking audience.

oh dean... fourth wall jokes

picking locks is tough, actually

the like winchester family leitmotif was surprisingly sad in this moment despite goofy circumstances

"shirts off" lmao

"C4, a hunter's best friend!" solid snake feels the same way

I love that garth's hat makes it look like he has floppy puppy ears

DEAN: This Cas keeps looking at me weird. SAM: So kind of like the real Cas.

TIL about the cologne/aftershave hai karate

well that was sweet. I miss garth.

interesting that in the last episode chuck's like "oh no what if the whole world was monsters!!!!!!!!!!! that would be so bad!!!!!!!!" but here we have garth as a werewolf dentist, like. that's pretty wholesome

I rewatched the tap dancing scene because it's just so damn good, I'm glad they're able to use these gorgeous sets and the talents of the cast, the wardrobe department, the camera and lighting crew, all of it to make this come together. make the most of these tools and talents before it's over, why the hell not

the trap

SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT

I'm catching up I'm so late, it's 2/7 as I'm writing this and it aired 1/16

god I'm just so happy to see jack at all

wowwwwwww this "eyes and ears on the inside, well eyes anyway" line is so fucking shitty

"I pinata'd hell" is super funny

I love rob benedict though it's hard to be mad at him

zip ties are terrifyingly effective

I have that same box of borax

I can't help but laugh at "come on, eileen"

oh boy! dean can track sam's phone. that's. hm.

cas is 100% right as he often is

SAM: You blink people out of existence but when it's time to get your hands dirty you just can't do it. You just like to watch. Wow, Chuck. That's, uh... I don't even know what to call that. EILEEN: I do. I'd call it pathetic.

meanwhile i'm like "I'd call that a fetish"

sam is handsome

who wrote this episode though I keep thinking I've missed the title card for it but then maybe not

chuck's doing the thing where people are like "I love to torture my OC's!"

oh it's rob berens I think we will be fine then with the writing

DEAN: I hope Benny's here. Hey let's split up. CAS: ??????

I do love sam like spitting in the face of god, what a hero

and yeah like sam spent 120+ years in hell, what is this scalpel going to do, this isn't the first time a loved one has tortured him either

oh cas and dean just did a double brother bluff on this leviathan

:( big sad about dean still trying to find benny

guess we gotta kill him off even off-screen huh

at least we got ty olsson back for like one more cameo episode

oh I'm so so so here for the time travel watch and glad I wrote a sam-related time travel fic just before this aired lmao

"I was talking about Jack. I already apologized to you. You just refuse to hear it."

GO CAS GO!!!

so by 2021 castiel is gone and future!sam immediately brings him up and current/past!sam is extremely shaken up over it to the point of maybe grinding his teeth just for having to hear about it hypothetically

I'm glad we're not forgetting the events of season 6 because I fucking loved season 6

I love the bleached or like frostbitten trees in this scene

eyes emoji, cas with the mark of cain and being buried in a ma'lak box? interesting. interesting especially to have him suffer a similar fate to jack's temporary and hypothetical one, I was gonna assume the empty had come back for him

is sam trying to take bullets from this scene with him into the real world/the past/??? clever dude

also I was here for the movie night domestic AU earlier before we got the call about claire

so if dean and cas walked into an angel trap why didn't dean just break the line...

the cast of SPN is so good at crying

I would like to believe that dean is sincere on some level but I feel like I've also seen him give teary apologies to everybody else in his life that he inevitably just goes on to continue to hurt so, shrug emoji

dean when are you going to apologize for trying to kill jack, huh, because you're "forgiving" castiel for things that weren't his fault and that he didn't need to apologize for but did anyway

he sure puts on a good show though

december 09, 2022 at 3:11 AM

it's an effective shot, the watch stopping, sam being unable to wind it further

also I'm glad they occasionally remember they can pray to castiel and he can hear them

cas is smart and competent, thank you rob berens. that explains why he was willing to walk into the angel trap

are these.... other hunters?????? coming to get them

I love all these AU endings honestly

sam and dean dying side by side is more satisfying than one killing the other cain & abel style to be honest

oh they're vampires i love it lmaoooo fuck

this fight scene is fucking incredible

I actually love bobby being the one to take sam out because of when sam was going to kill bobby in the trickster shit, and I think also in S6 if I remember right, as soulless sam maybe?

fuck I can't wait to see the bloopers from this scene, dean's expressions are killing me, jensen is so funny and jared looks SO FUCKING GOOD jesus, he nailed the lip curl so well I'm just like. goddamn.

I love seeing bobby and jody in action even if it's in a terrible circumstance

this shot of them from behind is incredible

that feel when god's making fun of you

okay I got so distracted by sam with vampire teeth that I went to bed without finishing this episode and am picking up again the following day

"the monsters" as if sam hasn't been called a monster ten thousand times over, including by his family

dean's like "what did you [chuck] do to him [sam]???" and i'm like, chuck made him genre savvy, dean

I don't want castiel to have the mark of cain

I really like the casino as a backdrop for this for like... rolling the dice, chancing fate, etc

saileen is a good ship

I'm glad nobody permanently hurt eileen

cas looks so tired

I've missed seeing jack so much

our father, who aren't in heaven

SPOILERS BELOW BUT I'M REALLY LATE TO THE PARTY THIS TIME

[I actually watched this like a month ago but didn’t remember to post it, oops]

I got so backed up with real life shit that I'm delayed watching this but I stayed off tumblr and twitter almost entirely for the last few weeks to avoid spoilers but god DAMN it it's a fucking buckleming episode

why do they keep being put in charge of the return of characters who we're all very invested in? you ruin kevin tran, you are likely to ruin adam, god fucking damn it.

at least RSJ is directing

you can tell they always think their episode titles are really goddamn clever too and it pisses me off

is john winchester not in heaven anymore? I thought that was a big fucking todo, that he and mary are up there and they don't want to ruin it for them. or are you referring to chuck? or both? who cares.

poor adam.

chuck what fun is it if you just automatically win every time, huh? what's the point?

I do love rob benedict though. I don't like being frustrated with his character.

buckleming's gotta get in as many "terrified women in exploitative situations" as they can before the end huh

I like eileen a lot and I probably ought to get around to watching her actual original episodes at some point

"guest starring jake abel" has got me choked up

HEY TOO BAD THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN READ THE TABLET IS FUCKING DEAD HUH, HOPE YOU KEPT ALL THOSE NOTES OF HIS THAT YOU OCCASIONALLY DRAG OUT AND DECLARE WORTHLESS

poor kevin, god fucking damn it all

SAM: so he has an achilles heel DEAN: well i'm saying he has a weak spot

YEAH BECAUSE DEAN IS STUPID RIGHT? THANKS BUCKLEMING

I hope misha's hip is okay

I do like donatello, I hope nothing awful happens to him :(

sorry though guys the only prophet i acknowledge is kevin tran

okay so obviously as we've known since day one they're gonna team up with the darkness to subdue chuck but things will probably work out in the end to maintain universal harmony or some shit so whatever

sam really does have queer flannel, i like that black and white and red all over shirt

I hate buckleming episodes for so many reasons but not least of all because everyone behaves like a petulant kindergartener

is sam just reading the bible? it's got that golf leaf edge

okay seriously though don't they already have kevin's notes? why is donatello translating this fresh? kevin did all this work and fucking died for it. at least honor his legacy. jesus fuck.

really though, 14.08 establishes this:

http://www.supernaturalwiki.com/14.08_Byzantium_(transcript)

[Dean awakes where he passed out on the kitchen table, and hears voices in the other room. He gets up and follows the voices to the library] SAM: Man, haven't seen this stuff in years. WOMAN: And what language is this technically in? CAS: We're not sure, but it's-- it's written in cuneiform. Kevin was very thorough. SAM: Yeah. We kept it all-- the translations, his notes on his translations, annotations. You name it. [...] SAM: That's not-- Dean, listen, last night, after about whiskey number five, it hit me. I mean, we've torn through all the lore looking for a way to cure Jack, right? But we've never looked through Kevin's angel tablet translations. DEAN: Yeah, 'cause they're worthless. I mean, Kevin translated them into-- to crazy scribble only a prophet can read. And last I checked, we can't exactly ask Donatello. LILY: Maybe I can read them.

did he not take demon tablet notes? he sure seemed to have a bunch of those in seasons 8 and 9! also why do demons not care about this anymore

"if my dad kept me locked in a cage for ten years" oh yeah? if one month on earth is ten years in hell, then adam's been in the cage with michael for 120 earth months = 1,200 years in hell. OVER A MILLENNIUM IN HELL.

buckleming so completely fail to hold my attention even during the episode that ostensibly the whole fandom's been waiting for for a decade, that writing the word "millennium" got me sidetracked into watching some backstreet boys music videos and an nsync one to boot. what do you even have to say for yourselves, buckleming.

okay I got way distracted about the 8tracks closure

so I can't help but notice that STILL they have nothing to say about adam, they just need michael. like.

wow.

cas is the one to bring it up! I fucking love you castiel

keith szarabajka does a good rob benedict

buckleming writing this: chuck should immediately threaten all the women in their lives

oh so NOW dean doesn't want cas going to hell. cute. after forcing him to do so alongside belphegor. fuck you, dean.

i love sam and eileen doing witchy shit and cas watching

oh rowena's back.

i guess we should've known if she died she'd just like. go to hell.

"so fix it!" says rowena, by way of buckleming, dismissing everything castiel has every right to be angry about, as if this should just be shrugged off. easy for her to say when she's the one who fucked things over for crowley. not cool with sam being out of the room for that either? sam is very much involved with these proceedings.

I'm here for adam's food appreciation

I don't remember what happened to adam's mom? was it with the ghouls?

family does suck, adam.

I don't want to hear dean's commentary about sam's relationships or whether eileen is hot or anything like that, ever. butt out.

I do like the actress playing lilith

I need bourbon too, donnie. fortunately i had some prepared before i clicked play on this episode

I loooove these shots of castiel with the chessboard and the railing/bannister/whatever

I get that cas is being "BAMF" again I GUESS or whatever but I'm irritated with him stooping to this level of like... what dean pressured sam into with jack in S14, with using this intense sincerity to trick people. not a fan. and SHOCKER, "jack in the box" was written by buckleming too so there you go. there's this episode of bob's burgers where linda's running a murder mystery dinner and is like "ha! I was the murderer all along even though I said I wasn't!" you didn't connect shit, you're just lying

I will give buckleming exactly one point, even though it's 99% jensen's delivery, but calling him "mike" so derisively is hilarious

why don't they just tell him his AU self had the same goal last season

they definitely don't let them actually apologize! gee! all this time and they don't actually apologize. fuck off.

you could've written ANYTHING. anything at all, buckleming.

adam knows all about not knowing the secrets your dad is keeping

I'm glad adam doesn't forgive them.

"they believe it's true so it's probably true" is bad reasoning here

I feel like sue is probably fucked? or else this is a trap.

michael's the golden child and doesn't realize he's being abused by god just like the rest. at least he doesn't in this version

who said he had an entire tree up his ass, balthazar? zachariah? dean? bobby?

I think cas was right to show him the truth, just the events as they occurred

ugh i'm so nervous and uncomfortable for cas that there's no one here to intermediate if dean goes after him

literally after I type this I unpause and cas asks "where's sam?"

yeah i knew it was a trap. and here chuck's going to hurt eileen because he can.

I'm glad dean apologized on behalf of both of them I guess? but also not cool with sam not being here to talk to adam himself.

I'm glad michael found out about AU michael

stoked about purgatory honestly. bring back benny. BRING BACK GORDON. bring back dick roman.

cas looks so tired. what a note to end on.

I am also tired.

baby

[I actually watched this like a month ago but didn’t remember to post it, oops] -

I've heard this is one of the best SPN episodes and robbie thompson wrote it so I could believe it

jesus fuck that's maybe the most intense cold open i've ever seen

inception noises, you're waiting for a train

it's like that GIF that was going around on tumblr where people claimed if you closed your eyes when the train approached your brain would think you had died

"Cas is getting better" oh sam :C

dean just doesn't care

"I'm fine" says dean

"Well he's not, he needs more time to heal" sam you're a hero

poor fuckin sam is trying to not just drink garbage and dean's mad

sam's got him in his phone as "castiel"

:CCCC when sam smiles/laughs at "what's a netflix" and looks to dean and dean just doesn't even notice

I GUESS dean gets credit for the "your only job is to heal"

this episode must've been difficult to shoot

"time heals all wounds, sam, especially good times" I guess so

let sam sleep

let sam read and then sleep

sam trying to research instead of "have fun" is pathetic!

is this girl a ghost?

I definitely feel like they're not going to make it to oregon

oh maybe they will

I got the hugest grin on my face watching the "night moves" section, and when the lens flare from the sun comes through the back window, and sam singing

this is how the early seasons felt

"is everything a bob seger song to you?" "yes."

lmao

sobs grossly, sam wants domesticity

RIP the memory of jess and lisa and ben and amelia

sam sleeping is so sweet

I like how dean rubs his thumb on the steering wheel, he does love that car

oh hello john

god I do love any excuse for matt cohen to be here

phew I am real fucked up by... what, chuck showing up in the form of john?

the pacing in this episode is fantastic, and the music in the sam and john scene was so unsettling

god helps those who help themselves, huh

oof that train in the distance is extra terrifying after the cold open

dean: "I read."

thank you robbie thompson

I appreciate when dean is smart

he's so fucking mad about sam not disclosing everything 24/7

:( dean's dream about learning to drive is so fucking sad, for the same reason dean mowing the lawn in "what is and what should never be" is so fucking sad

"why would someone dress up like dad to give you a message?" BECAUSE IT'S LIKE "CONTACT" DEAN, WOULD YOU PREFER A TACO THAT CRAPS ICE CREAM

man, I do love that shot of them sleeping in the impala

"a were-pire" lmfaoooo

netflix has spoiled me on this being a ghoul though

god I love M.I.A., I love this song

"I'm not sure how orange correlates with black in a way that's new."

GOD

a whisper sounds like something htat might be feeding dreams to someone, huh

piper sure did leave her hairpin in the car

oh ew the cooler

poor castiel having to hear all this with no context of what's going on

the windshield wiper with the head is pretty funny

these attacks keep happening during trains passing which sure does cover up noise

poor sam with no backup either :( and no idea whether dean's okay or even getting his messages

very worried about that knife sliding into the back and whether this woman is one of them

I like invoking charon

I LOVE SAM'S PENNY KNOWLEDGE BECAUSE I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THE SAME THING they're zinc now, god I love robbie thompson

get a wheat penny

you know dean would've been like WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING????? and just used a zinc penny if sam wasn't around with penny trivia

you could say he's.... pennywise.

he would hate the clown joke

oh i KNEW IT I KNEW IT

that hello kitty purse is totally down there, thanks jessie or whatever your name was and your friend

there's that hairpin

thank fuck for that coin purse

oh my god the car door that's extremely brutal

god this episode was so fucking good?

well done robbie thompson, well done the whole cast & crew

last call

SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT

I couldn't watch thursday, I couldn't watch friday, so I am watching on saturday after a very long saturday, and then ultimately I finished on sunday, yikes

I'm still really sad about this "do you ever feel like you're the punchline to a cosmic joke" quote

I feel bad for everyone in this scene, I got nervous as soon as I didn't see sally lock the car door

thinking vampires but who knows

has anyone besides me seen upstream color? this reminds me of that movie also, a bit

there's something deeply disturbing about the simplicity of her blood running into that cage like the monster's a hamster waiting for water to drip

DEAN: Come on, internet!

that's a mood

sobbbbb i love sam and eileen cooking together

the writer is jeremy adams, who cowrote scoobynatural and his profile picture on imdb is him with cookie monster so that makes me feel like I should trust him https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4287835/mediaviewer/rm4016410369

the happy chatter as they were cooking breaks my heart because I know nothing ever lasts but at least they have this for now

I have always wanted to learn sign language and this makes me really want to give it a shot finally, I looked up some beginner resources after the previous episode

I like sheriff dillon's earlier attempts to make it in hollywood

AU where dean just bails in the middle of this episode to start filming a completely different TV show

he's allowed to keep the gun but has to surrender the cell phone, welp

"house rules" seems thematically relevant i guess

I feel like my eyes were on the bartender/owner/? when I should've been paying attention to something in the background maybe idk

okay i'm rewatching the scene and her name is lorna

oh i guess this guy is the owner

i immediately am onboard for dean/lee and i love that we cut from the two of them, back to a similar two shot of eileen and sam

i'm onboard for eileen/sam as well but simultaneously amused that cas shows up before they can get very far

"dead? I got better" I love this sideways "she turned me into a newt / I got better" monty python reference thank you, I will choose to believe that's what this is invoking

legit glad that cas chose a moment dean was not there to return to the bunker

angel radio has been silent for months, that's interesting

john winchester liked lee, and it sounds like he liked him more than he liked dean :( yikes

this conversation is good and also sad

how's it feel to be dean and hear one of your old friends say he doesn't regret walking away from this miserable life of suffering, and to know that you could've stayed with lisa and ben and done the same thing

i like sam's grey undershirt, it looks soft

y'know cas at least admits straight up that this is probably dangerous

and he asks if he's okay midway through this!

cas asks like five times if sam's okay and/or is disclosing exactly what to expect, that it might not work, that it is probably dangerous, that it's going to sting, checking if he's sure, checking if he's okay once it starts obviously hurting, I appreciate the FUCK out of that

and eileen's obviously concerned too and I fully believe this would all stop if sam called it off

ah there he goes

boy I can't wait for dean to turn this around on cas like "see this is how it feels when you don't pick up"

okay so lee and dean have already kind of had group sex and this is just a thing dean does because he did this with crowley in s10

wow cas isn't fucking around

I don't really remember sergei

GOD the ghost sickness

mmmmmm seems like lee "didn't recognize" her

"it's been a rough decade" that's relatable, biggest mood

I do like seeing dean happy, i like seeing all these characters when they're happy

jensen has a nice voice, I listened to his album when it was released and it's solid

definitely getting a 10x01 vibe from this whole thing

I like that sergei is impressed by the bunker, you get so used to seeing it that you forget how incredible even just the real-life set is, nevermind the in-universe place

"You can't rapture a car." "It was a good car." aw :(

sam's soul is doing some bizarre spaghettification shit

sia's "elastic heart" begins playing

the scrapyard music is very metal gear

yeah lee's been fishy as fuck this whole time

my money's on he tried to take on a vampire nest and got turned and "gave up the life" then and there

y'know cas doesn't say exactly what it is bobby (it's weird AU bobby is around) will do to this woman if sergei doesn't help, he just lets him assume the worst

a marid, huh

a marid is just capitalism

:( this sucks

lee was doing some heinous shit but I am still disturbed that dean defines himself first and foremost by "I kill monsters"

sure is convenient when "monster" extends to "people" so fucking often and so constantly all the way back to early seasons

I love that half-laugh that sam does

I feel like I already knew that sam and chuck were seeing each other's shit? but i'm glad it's officially confirmed

golden time

SPOILERS BELOW

"In emergency/trauma medicine, the golden hour (also known as golden time) refers to a time period lasting for one hour following traumatic injury. During this time it is most likely that prompt medical treatment will prevent death."

and also

"In photography, the golden hour is the period of daytime shortly after sunrise or before sunset, during which daylight is redder and softer than when the Sun is higher in the sky. The opposite period during twilight is blue hour, just before sunrise or after sunset, when indirect sunlight is evenly diffused."

okay i'm starting this very late, it takes me forever to watch a 40 minute episode and i'm starting this one at 10:20 PM and that's not boding well but we'll see how long I can keep my eyes open

I actually didn't realize we were getting cas again in this episode, I thought it wasn't until episode 7 for some reason so i'm glad he's back, I love him

oh she has a portrait of herself just like french mistake jared

is that "arada" apartments? is she in the UAE? I mean sam drives there later so I guess not but

the only thing i got spoiled about this episode is that eileen comes back. is this eileen? I haven't seen whatever episode(s) she was in and all I know is some people ship her with sam

what song is this? the only results i can find for these lyrics are in the episode transcript so is this the cast/crew band

EdlundianTimes where FACTS are stranger than FICTION

"it's a miracle! baby parts lake superior" "saint mary appears on three cheese pizza" well done

sam looks so tired. :(

was someone wearing stealth camo

"What's round and bad tempered? A vicious circle." MMMM like the cycle of abuse, dean???

wow so dean has just been watching scooby doo and eating cereal while sam works, and dean is mad at him that he hasn't found anything yet...? you gonna help or just spit out cereal you don't like and let it land on the floor?

"cain and abel 2.0" is pretty funny

sobbbbbb emoji, he's going by clarence

boy yeah he's pouring a lot of liquor into that coffee cup

the scene with dean fishing on the pier and castiel standing behind him is one of my favorite shots in the series

poor castiel and poor andy

sam looks really cute in this hoodie

okay this is eileen

his elated/sad expression is killing me

"souls from hell can't go to heaven" says dean, very confidently, after they absolutely did that for bobby in "taxi driver" despite what buckleming wrote into 15x02 with kevin

I like sam as rowena's protege, i'm getting the boss and big boss vibes here, just a little bit

what an insult for dean to deliver this news to eileen while wearing hot dog pajamas

guessing worley refers to chris and jeff worley of jackyl, not "worley noise" (which is pretty interesting itself) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worley_noise"

"I've been there too -- uh, Hell. A long time ago. You try and forget but it gets inside you. ....talking helps."

I guess this is not news to others if this was already a thing but I'm just so glad sam's knowledge of languages extends to sign language

having eileen there to help is a new twist on "ghost hunter(s)"

there were ripples in that mirror? painting? was that the painting?

"She was... goth?" lmao god

I love this jumble of cell phones

I do not love how dean immediately guilt trips him

cas is right not to take the bait

"You ever feel like you're the punchline to some cosmic joke?" oh sam.

I like how eileen and sam talk

I like him doing spellwork, I always have

castiel cares so deeply about these kids :(

dean sure is apathetic to let sam take the impala and not raise a fuss about it

man the sign language sure came in handy huh

rowena left everything to sam.... OTL

god I REALLY love the music in this episode, I guess it's strings?

I like melly actually and since she's so "annoying" to know ecological issues in the place she knows about the silver mine so there you go

I feel like I've seen that same area rug for sale that rowena has, quatrefoil (?)

dean put superglue in sam's toothpaste......... jesus fuck

cas was giving her the "monsters are real" talk and then caleb was safe (which, thank fuck)

:( sam trying to convince her to escape her abusive mom and abusive older sibling but she doesn't believe him

poor steve the bunny

"It's always you -- you selfish little men in positions of authority. You take what you want, you take who you want. And you believe that your power will protect you. Well, it won't protect you from me." I fucking love you castiel so much

I don't like seeing cas covered in blood and I don't like seeing him hurt people but I am glad he was able to save these people

I love that eileen is able to physically fight the other ghost

I LOVE SAM SPEAKING LATIN

this combat is intense, the music is good

all the supporting cast actors are really good in this episode

man I want cas to do more hunts by himself, he asked for caleb's permission to heal his ankle and I appreciate that SO MUCH

I love love love sam doing magic

this bathtub is pretty sweet

you know i'm not saying eileen doesn't deserve a chance just as much but you sure didn't try to go help kevin huh? again? yet again......

I am glad she's okay though. I guess I better go watch the episiodes she's in, I like her

that is SUCH a good hug. I'm a little choked up

"You some kind of witch now?"

he has always been a witch, dean

"You did good today, man. I did jack" yeah more like you did jack wrong

well I finished at 11:45 so that's not too atrocious I guess

this was a pretty good episode and it makes me want to try learning sign language again
