Miss Jacki’s Top 30 Favorite Episodes

First Blood 12x09

This episode was so much fun, especially after such a lame mid season finale (LOTUS) it helped me believe that Sam and Dean dont need to be hunting monsters for the story to be interestiing. I very much enjoyed this episode, though it wasnt without flaw... Ill get to those in a bit.

So we had left for the winter hiatus with Sam and Dean carted off to prison for “attempting to assassinate the POTUS. Which wasnt actually the case, Im sure you all know. But this wasnt just prison, this was Super Secret Federal Isolation Prison *GASP*

They didnt wait long to start the excitement. Sam and Dean both being spoken to seperately but being told all the same things. We get absolutely no reaction or eye contact or a single word from either of them, until the Fed dude tells Sam “But you know what works every time? Nothing” And Sam looks up. Right away we know a cord was struck. And Sam flinches as the metal door shuts, knowing he is completely alone... no Dean... nothing.

We get a musical montage with the boys getting their meals. Dean is rather impressed, Sam is thouroughly grossed out. We see the boys pacing, sitting, laying, Dean starts carvin hashes in the wall to count the days.

Mary and Cas have a fight which sounded a lot like a parental fight. One blaming the other for the problem happening, then the other trumps them with “you were out” I actually started kinda shippijng Marstiel with that scene hehe

Back in the lock up, we see Dean shaving mmmmm Sam doing sit ups mmmmmmm (thank you show, thank you) maybe throw in some push ups... yeah there we go :) Meanwhile, Cas tries to get help from Crowley, who probably summed the boys up better than anyone else has on this show “Sam and Dean are like herpes, just when you think theyre gona HELLO the boys are back! Leaving a trail of bodies in their wake..... so whoever has Sam and Dean, to quote the great Laurence Tureaud’I pitty da fool!” “ LOL how great is that? Back in prison though... the soldier shouts “Chow time!” again at Sam’s cell and Sam is laying in bed not ,moving. Dude goes in... uh oh HES DEAD!! Uhoh SO IS DEAN!!! Thats not... natural? And I have to say, Sam and Dean laying motionless on autopsy tables was SUPER creepy and a very good dramatic touch. We knew they werent dead forever , so its all good.. but it still bad touched me all over :\ So as expected, the boys wake up. WTF happened? they did SOMETHING, but we dont know what yet. But now the boys are on the run and let me just say how hot they looked in prison jumpsuits... amirite? We get a whole Rambo thing going on now, which was just so fun watching Sam and Dean run through the woods and hide behind trees I LOVED Deans line “See we’re not trapped out here with you, you’re trapped out here with us” [Sam snaps the magazine in the gun] YEP! My boys are badass! Now, Sam and Dean are the good guys, theyre bad sometimes, but ultimately, theyre good. They dont kill these guys, theyre soldiers, theyre doing what theyre told. They even leave them a first aid kit and Sam assures the soldier “Youll live” As we know, Sam is a man of few words. Long speeches arent very common for him. Ive always liked how well Jared/Sam conveys a message by a short line or a single word. The one Fed is caught in a bear trap. the other has a gun on Dean. Fed 1 says “SHOOT HIM!!” and Sam just follows through with “(gun cocking) “Dont”.. LOVED that. How many words did he actually speak in a single word? Like a few dozen at least!! And the kicker “Who are you?” “We’re the guys that save the world” and my boys put on the winsynch swagger and walk off. They ,meet up with Mom and Cas and the Brits. We still dont know yet how they got dead and alive, and I had almost forgotten that they needed to “talk about it” but now the car stops and Billie is there waiting for them. The big reveal, they made a deal, they get out of prison, in exchange for one winchester dying. Who would it have been? Im sure they never determined it, Im sure it would have been fought out “Im gonna go” “no Im gonna go you stay” “No Im gonna go YOU stay” till they die of old age. But Mom volunteers, but before she kills herself, Cas kills Billie. Now, Im not the biggest fan of Cas, but I really did appreciate his speech here. I even believed his emotions. “This world, this sad doomed little world, it needs you, it needs every last Winchester it can get and Im not gonna let you die, I wont let any of you die... you mean too much to me... to everything. So you made a deal, you made a stupid deal, and I broke it.... youre welcome” Honestly, I got vaklempt, its something Id like to say every time they make a stupid deal. But as promised, I have a few problems with this episode. They didnt need to die, if Sam would have just laid there and played dead, the soldier would come in, and he could knock him out, let Dean out and run. (but,.. guess we need the drama). Also I liked the 2 main Fed guys, they were good actors, and fun, they had a great good cop/ bad cop vibe, they should have kept them around a while. Always 2 steps behind the brothers... keep things interesting in that side of life. And my biggest problem was Dean saying about prison “Ive been to Hell... this was worse” because no Dean it wasnt. If they had at least made their living conditions bad, but they didnt. The boys stayed clean and their clothes clean, their cell clean, they got to shave, and work out... this wasnt anywheres near as bad as any glimpse from either of their Hell tours were so that was a stupid thing to say. Some have said “well they didnt have each other so that was BAD” and I say “they didnt have each other in Hell either, AND they were TORTURED... so there :P Overall though, this was a very good episode. I think they show should take them out of the supernatural world once in a while and explore their skills in other situations, like survival skills being lost in the wilderness or something. This episode proved to me, monsters are not a requirement for a good story.
