Good morning flist and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY [livejournal.com profile] carcrash_heartz. Wish you an awesome one :)



First: I LOVED LOVED LOVED Dean and Sam in this episode. My love for Dean has reached new levels and I adore, seriously, Castiel.

Second: The episode for me was about love, broken promises, broken dreams and broken boys. It wasn't about Dean or Sam, since this is still an issue in the fandom.

It was about Dean showing how much his inner strenght, his values, his beliefs, his will are all still there and how much he loves his brother. It was about Dean that is special in his own way. So special that God tested him, so special that God wanted him out of Hell. And if the only reason was stopping save to save the world, how can you tell is not enough? It's much more than just Sam. So much more.

It was about an awesome angel, Castiel who, the more come closer to Dean, the more becomes human.

It was about a boy who can't decide what to do with his life, because he knows he can be dangerous but he desperately wants to be good.

-nice recap with a lot of MOTW and some mythology.

-that first scene...just gross. I could barely watch at 6 in morning.

-"I will never"...oh Dean, you don't believe yourself :)

-Research and the boys talking about the case in a motel room. It so classic and a very good feeling. Weird to talk about normalcy but that is theirs.

-"Bring back memories?"...yes Sammy, bad ones. It scares me how Sam seems to have forgotten Dean was in Hell. I mean it would be the first thing I would think about, even if Dean kept them hidden.

-Poor Metallicar.

-Oh boys you were so right...that bitch was the witch.

-I am evil...I love hurt!Dean.

-She broke the seal. It's scary...

-Zombies??? I guess Dean doesn't scare easily.

-Dean&Castiel and Uriel&Sam scenes were awesome.

-Castiel doesn't envy Dean...this is scary.

WELCOME BACK CASTIEL, I've missed you a lot!!!


I shouldn't say it but Sam's reaction was hilarious. He was meeting an angel and he was sorry because he pointed the gun at him, which was perfectly normal. He was so embarassed and happy. Hopeful too.
Castiel broke the magic telling him what he did but I think he was right. He made it clear, they know what is going on with him and that they don't like it. Castiel is in a war and he can't care about hurtng the feelings of people.
Meanwhile I loved the confidence he seems to have with Dean and the fact that they saved the boys lives. I also liked how Dean kinda stopped Castiel when he was talking to Sam. Uriel is so more detached than Castiel. He's there for accomplish a job and he will. Castiel is more human in a way.
Uriel just look at the bigger picture. Dean and Sam are caught in the middle.

"you are supposed to show mercy"...I thought Sam could have reacted that way. All his faith can be destroyed or at least questioned. Sam has this idea of angels as good ones and if you think about it, it's normal, but not smart coming from Sam. With all he knows, all his researches, all he has learned from Dean about Castiel, he should know that there is a war and that casualties can happen. Sacrifice some, to save the most.
I see his reasons: he sees what he has always believed in falling and he feels like he's losing his safe harbor. If angels can let people die, what can he do with his demons blood? He can't be better than them.

About Dean, Castiel knows how to push him...talking about John and the orders. Dean's reaction. But I loved that he stood up and said they can disobey, that killing people was just wrong. Like in JUS. Btw Dean should have learned from what happened there. He did the right thing, but it didn't work. It was useless.
He's inner hero, he's sense of justice come out in all its intensity. He knows the angels care about him. He uses this weapon.

"Waste me, kill me because I won't go away.We can do this".Guess I couldn't love him more in that scene.
Jensen delivered those last lines perfectly just using his voice. PERFECT.

When the boys came back in the car and talked about the angels, it was just big brother and little brother. It was Dean reassuring Sam and was Sam asking Dean to reassure him. It was comfortable. Sweet.

Clearly Uriel and Castiel are different. They want the same things but they are ready to act differentely. Castiel is more like Dean.
They want to save Dean. Uriel wanted to drag him away. They care about him because he has potential. I don't think it's just because of Sam. There's more. I want to know :)

I liked that Sam talked to Dean first about using powers again and obviously Dean told him he didn't have to since they are dangerous.
Of course Sam won't listen, playing exactly the game he shouldn't play but can he really be blamed for this?.
I don't think so. Guess he didn't have any chance.

Dean's look when he saw Sam using the powers and Sam looking back at him...*cries*.
All the promises Sam made were broken, all the hopes Dean had were shattered. They are both broken.

Uriel is powerful and I liked his interaction with Sam. So now we know that they can kill him anytime, just not now. Because he has been useful so far.
And thanks God, Uriel made Sam think about Dean and what he remebers from Hell, because as I said, it bothers me that he hasn't already done.

A TEST??????????
The angels, God or whoever, tested Dean?
I loved how Dean thought he failed because he didn't obey and I was happy to hear Castiel telling him that he misunderstood.
What I love in Dean is this strong feeling that saving people is the most important purpose of his life. I love he gave Sam the credit for what he did even if he paid a high price.
Castiel? I am in total love with him. Thanks to Dean he is having doubts, questions...just like Dean.
Bottom down, Dean is not alone, Castiel can relate to him. Castiel might not be perfect, but he is there.

And Sam? He is not alobe either, because no matter what, Dean is there, for him.




Blame [livejournal.com profile] smilla02 for this.

Dean's heart is big. Bigger than everything. So big that even Castiel is starting to see things in a different way. Castiel who is supposed to be more perfect because he is an angel. Castiel, who is actually thinking Dean can know better than him.
I mean Castiel is getting in touch with his humanity, a humanity he couldn't have because he is supposed to be perfect, he is supposed to be more perfect than human beings but Dean...Dean and his own humanity are showing Castiel something.

Castiel acknowledged that Dean did the right choice. He was proud and content of Dean.

To me it's even clearer that angels want Dean for Dean. Not because they need him to stop Sam. They want him to do it, they don't need him to do it.
There's a big difference.

love S4!

What does FTW mean?
I have just loved this season! This ep was really scary. Sam fighting the demon was as great as it was sad, and did his eyes turn black? And how sad that Cas didn't shake his hand right away. ::Hugs Sammy::
Dean telling the angels what's up! I love Dean! I'm worried about the future--God wants Dean to lead his army and YED wanted Sam to lead his army. Poor Sam and Dean.

What I didn't like was the lack of research on the writers part, particularly the mispronunciation of Samhain and saying that Samhain was a demon and that there were animal sacrifices to gods or demons. Show always seems to get it wrong when they include witches in the script. It's the only thing that I don't like(now that Rubela is gone.)

FOR THE WIN!

Yes poor boys...but you know in this episode there was so much, so much!

Yeah I guess they don't do much research but I think it was because the main focus was another. It was the boys.

I so agree to everything.
Dean afraid and respects Castiel whom i also missed sooooo much!
Uriel is different and i wonder about how he will deal with the boys in the next episodes.

I'm progressing from 'bad' to 'so-so' ep. So to not ruin your squee mood all i can say right now - Dean was awesome, Jensen was perfect, Dean-Cas=OTP (not in sexual way of course).

Oh and why you didn't like it?

I mean I don't care about the plot. I just cared about the boys and the angels and all the implications.

I don't care about the plot too - we here don't celebrate Helloween and i don't feel connected to this theme. But i think the pacing was uneven and they ruin some imporyant sceces with wrong accents (for example i think great scene of Dean with Uriel was ruined by accent on Sam in the beginning). And i'm pissed off about one certain character, you know :) But oher than that it was ok ep. Brings many thoughts. Just wasn't that perfect like all eps before it.

Oh I saw the eppy too. I was wonderful! As usual, I'm going to download the hires version, but I think I'm skipping the first part. LOL! That was the grossest thing Kripke has invented (or whomever from the writing team) so far. That was just supergross! This season really rocks!

Castiel is so awesome. I feel like he's really starting to connect with Dean, and that their relationship will only get stronger because Castiel is willing to put his trust in Dean. I think maybe sometime down the road if he had to choose between his orders from God or protecting Dean... eventually he might get to the point that he would choose Dean's well being over everything. It's also a sad thought because I'm afraid that Castiel will give up his life for Dean one day!

Agredd on Castiel and Dean. I love how he has questions and how he looks vulnerable, just like Dean.

mi è piaciuto l'episodio-jensen e jared son stati fantastici come sempre
devo dire la verità,io non sono una gran fan di castiel(non uccidetemi please lol,so di essere l'unica)però mi è piaciuto in questo episodio
sammy e l'incontro con gli angeli è stato tristissimo,sam era così felice e loro lì freddi ,più uriel che castiel che ha comunque cercato il contatto umano con la stretta di mano,ma è stato comunque un gran momento recitato alla grande per non parlare della parte finale o del momento in cui sam esorcizza con la mente:(come dici tu forse non aveva scelta
il momento in cui se ne stavano in macchina è stato dolcissimo,un vero momento tra fratelli
in sintesi un gran bell'episodio.jensen fantastico come sempre,la scena finale con castiel è stata una delle più belle anche se vederlo seduto li al parco da solo mi ha messo un po' di melanconia

e povera impala!!!

Si molta malinconia...ma Dean sa che lui è solo sotto certi aspetti e che non può sfuggire a ciò che accadrà.

C'è così tanto di epico e mitologico nella sua umanità che per me oscura tutto il resto :)

you know me Val... I'm going to do my Sammy apology like always...
but seriously....

Sam was all happy and honorated to meet the angels even if Dean clearly told me that one of the reasons why they are there is to stop him (maybe in a drastic way).. and it's kind of sad that they didn't come up to his expectations... it's true that they fight all kind of evil stuff but if you get to know that angels exist and that there is actually a "good" side, of course you think about them like generous, kind and pityful people...

moreover.. why do they have to be so hard on him? what was he supposed to do? The knife wasn't working.. the demon would kill him, his brother and summon the hell....
okay, the powers are not good but he is using them to make good and when he has no other choice!!!
And I liked the he talked about that with Dean first too.
:)

*hugs*

Sammy was tender there...I really saw a kid who was hopeful and whose hopes were broken.

Guess the problem with the angels and Sam is that none in all his life has ever been son hard on him telling him in the face the truth.

Sure Dean maybe did, but Sam knew Dean did out of love.

The angels are strangers and they really look at the bigger picture. Maybe heraing from them the truth, would help him more than millions sweet words.

This was definitely not my favorite episode. I thought it was kind of meh overall, but full of good stuff like the Dean/Sam interaction, their interaction with the angels and everything that was implied in that. I'm not one bit surprised that I agree with you about those things.

I'm still not sure about Castiel. I don't dislike him, I think he's a good and interesting character and Misha Collins is doing a great job playing him, but something is keeping me from completely embracing him. I just don't know what it is.

From the looks of things so far I can't keep the thought that Dean's toughest decision in the coming months is gonna be choosing between Sam and the world. I have to stop thinking about this. It's gonna make me sad.

I really don't care about the plot when the mythology is involved.

About Castiel, I don't doubt who he is...I mean I don't even care if he is an angel or not but I do love what he is doing to Dean. I love that their realtionsip is even. They start from the same point. Dean doesn't have to worry about him, he doesn't have to take care of him. Dean is free with Castiel.

Plus I want an evolution in Dean/Sam rl. Sam must stop to take Dean for granted. I think castiel works in this direction too.

You know there were many things that really make me think a lot in this episode, but the one that definitely surprised me was the fact that Castiel is changing... I mean he says he has his doubts now and that he not sure of what is good or right or whether of Dean passed the test or not... I mean he started out being a really cold straight to business angel but it seems like the more he is with Dean the more he learns about humans and about the good in the world, and he's beginning to see the other side of the coin and how everything doesn't have to be so drastic and there is always another way. =)

Probably this was one of the reasons why God took Dean out of hell, he knew all the love he could show for others and the will and determination to help people in need. He will have a greater role in this war than we imagined.

I think Castiel was this way since the beginning, only he didn't know.
