SPN - There Will Be Blood

[feliciakw]

Dean: I can't live on rabbit food. I'm a warrior!
Sam: Dean, you'll be fine.
Dean: You don't know that!

Just some impressions . . .

1) Poor Dean going into toxic shock, needing his road food. His hopeful look that the "all natural" pie was okay. Oh, Dean. *bakes him homemade pie*

2) Really, really enjoying the Alpha!Vamp. He's fascinating in a morbid and creepifying way. The line about him snatching Emily from the playground reminded me of the vision/dream/message thingy from "Twi Hard," with the little girls on the playground. He makes for a sly and fascinating dangerous "ally."

Also, Eve was somehow connected to the leviathans? That would explain the black goo when she died. Makes for a puzzle, though, with her being killed only with phoenix ash (still one of my fave scenes from S6) vs. borax.

3) Seriously, Bobby is going to hurt one of the boys. The fact that he broke the mirror that Dean was standing beside kinda tells me that it might be Dean.

4) Oh, Dean, you with your word coinage. Vamptonite.

5) And perhaps most important *g*, Dean's new leather jacket. I've been wanting Dean to acquire "his own" leather jacket ever since the old one was packed away in a box/stolen en route to a photo shoot. He's his own man now, and the new jacket reflects that. (I've also read that Jensen helped design the new jacket, which tickles me greatly. That's awesome. It's similar in cut to the black one he's worn to conventions, yes?)

Also? Jensen looked really good. But then, when doesn't he?

Also also? Smart!Dean! One of my favorite flavors of Dean!

Mileage varies, but I was amused by the "see you next season" line. Nice shout-out to the renewal. (I wonder if that's why we got the renewal announcement when we did, prior to this ep, so that the ep would not steal what was left the the network announcement's thunder. Or maybe I'm just overanalyzing.) Also, does this mean that we get alpha!vamp back next season? The possibility intrigues me.

Not sure where they're going with the bone of a righteous mortal thing. Precedent has said that Dean is the "righteous man." But "as light and good as the leviathan are hungry and dark" is kind of cryptic. I think I've written before about Dean being what I see as the messiah figure in the show. And he is the character that hasn't fallen, so to speak, when he was on this plane of existence (he broke in Hell, but his being a/the righteous man is what made his breaking significant to begin with). I shall wait and see.

All in all, this ep played better on second viewing and had some nice touches of interaction between the brothers.

As a side note: I've discovered my new favorite Mexican beer: Sol. (Not El Sol, as that would be Dean's favorite (fictitious) beer.) I like it better than Corona, and actually, better than Modelo, which we tried last week.

I'm beginning to suspect that Bobby is going to be the Big Bad of Season 8... he has the flask now and I don't think he's going to be giving it up.

"Also? Jensen looked really good. But then, when doesn't he?"

Amen, sister!

That leather jacket was amazing- I didn't like how red it was and the color didn't look so good paired with that green shirt of his but the cut was so sexy!

I've always noticed that Jensen always dresses very nicely... whether I should attribute that to him or Danneel, I have not idea! :P

Yes, you make a good point, but when has the show ever shied away from hurting Dean?

Though regardless, I would love to see Bobby injuring Dean. It would be especially awesome if it's like a serious injury. Then again, that could be my fan fiction side talking :P

I'm not talking like losing a limb serious but something more serious than a concussion or a broken leg.
