SPN - 6.20

I'm going to have to cogitate on this one a bit. Castiel's dilemma is interesting, and uncomfortable-making (which is the point, I realize). Overall, I kind of liked the format, and it was nice to see Castiel praying.

Also, Cas raised Sam from Perdition! But he couldn't quite get all of him through the Cage. I really hope he didn't leave Sam's soul behind on purpose. Surely he would know how bad that would be. But the fact that he tried to give Dean back what he'd sacrificed. Oh, Cas. You're learning the hard way the importance of keeping the lines of communication open.

Loved seeing Cas smite demons. That was fairly awesome. And when he had Crowley up against the wall, I so wanted him to remind Crowley that he could smite him as easy as breathing.

And apparently monsters do have souls. At least, souls of a sort. Who knew?

The ep had a few amusing moments, which yay because the rest of it was very sad, watching things unravel so.

Overall it just kind of hurt. To watch Cas's world crumble around him. To watch Dean come to grips with learning that Cas has been lying to him. To again have someone he trusts and loves betray him and lie to him.

I have a feeling I missed some key lines, since our CW affiliate was blinking in and out tonight. Ugh.

As for the upcoming ep, all I can say is the better not make Lisa evil. Just, no. I feel like crying just thinking about it.

This show is starting to stress me out. Will there be anyone to talk me off the ledge when the time comes?

I am not very active in posting on my LJ really but I really created it to write comments and such to folks - I'd be happy to chat with you about Show. I hardly have anyone to really talk it out with. :-)

I am still mulling things over about this ep - but I liked it for sure. Heartbreaking but I liked it. :-)

I just might take you up on that. :-)

I actually liked last night's ep quite a bit myself, as stressful and crazy-making as it was. There's a lot to cogitate with Cas's actions, and how they'll affect his relationship with Dean, and Dean's relationship with him.

And of course Dean, having to deal again with a trusted ally lying to him and deceiving him. It's hard all around.

Plus, I'm forming some thoughts on the show and my love of Dean/Jensen vis-a-vis my previous fandom involvements. I might write about it at a later date.

Please take me up on it. Hehe.

Supernatural is actually first ever TV show that really pulled me into fandom. In a vague sort of way I knew that fanfic existed because some of my friends actually wrote Buffy fanfic way back when it was still on but I just never got into it.

Then I think I mainlined Season 1 and just had to find out if they were going to be back for Season 2 and how long that would take and I discovered the stories to tide me over while waiting for the new episodes.

I actually tried to see if I would get into the other fandoms - Veronica Mars for one - but the writing in the other show's fandoms really didn't hold my attention as much as Supernatural's.

Anyway - sorry for just dumping that out.

For this last ep, I've decided that I'm going to wait until the last 2 play out so that I know how to properly feel about it. I like it still but I'm just not sure where that leaves Cas in the Winchester dynamics.
