So, Adrian just left and I'm up at 2:30 and I have an interview at 9:45 tomorrow morning BUT I just downloaded Supernatural (was watching The Office at 9:00, donchya know) so I am doing a recap rather than, like, sleep.
- SAMMY/RUBY. EEeeeee.
- Force choke 'em, baby.
- Okay, that's amazingly gross for what it is.
- I still miss old Ruby, I pine for her lost gorgeous.
- Aha, red-handed Sam is so cute.
- Ungh, Ruby kicking Dean's ass. Superb.
- Please Sam, please give a "I needed to replace you" speech. Please, for me.
- Ah no biggie, I'll always take brotherly angst when it's offered.
- YES. I have wanted them to fight for so long.
- MORE PUNCHING OKAY. MORE PUNCHING.
- "WITH YOUR MIND!" is so ridiculous. Why do they deliver these lines like it's so serious? (Why do they write these lines?)
- Oh God, this scene is amazing. The anger and the throwing and the pain and the betrayal. And the "I would hunt you" AND THE "I NEEDED TO REPLACE YOU" SPEECH YES YES YES.
- See, this scene? This is why I come back every time. Why do we need B-movie effects and melodramatic story lines when we have material this poignant and pitch-perfect?
- Dean Winchester, your Nathan Petrelli is showing.
- And truth be told... I kind of like Dean being a God warrior now, at least in his head. It almost feels like a direct reaction to the distance that's grown between him and Sam, something he adopts to explain the gap, or something. I like it.
- Didn't we establish both of them knowing Sam drinking demon blood? I am forgetful.
- OH the brotherly angst is killing me. This is so beautiful. I love them more when they're trying to reconnect, more than when they're peachy keen or mourning each other. The angst, it warms like heroin. I need mooore.
- Sam was a mathelete. I do not know what that is, but it sounds amazing.
- Rugaru? Isn't that just a werewolf? As in, the Louisiana butchering of "loup garou"?
- Man, I thought owning a Cadillac was enough to merit getting hunted. 'M just saying.
- I kind of love that this Rugaru dude is fantasizing about blood in a seventh-grade 1980s science video kind of way.
- Someone is about to get eaten, guys.
- Man, I love that even through all of this Sam is still an optimist. Or at least a humanist. Or is he just trying to make symbolic parallels with his own supernaturally ambiguous situation in an attempt to reconvene his desire for good with the demonic path he has taken?
- I don't like when bad things happen to good people attractive women.
- You know. Through the seasons, and my growing love of cars (in particular late 60s and early 70s muscle cars), I just don't think the Impala is all that attractive. There, I said it. I know, sacrilege.
- I kinda like Sam's new hair. It's a lot more suave and sexy than his usual style of young and puppy.
- Aahhahaha oh my God their break-in was amazing.
- THE POWER OF LOVE AND EIGHTIES SCIENCE VIDEOS HAS BROKEN HIS SHACKLES!
- Also, the power of man-meat.
- Everyone, all together now: NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM.
- Whoa, I love how the Rugaru tranformation kind of keeps him whole, but distorts him in a very off-center kind of way. Dear Supernatural: spend more time on make-up and gore, less on terrible CGI.
- (NOM NOM NOM)
- Lord, I love the panic in Sam's voice when he thinks Dean is dead. Breaks me a little.
- See! Amazing, horrific, creepy make-up. Well done, make-up artists!
- You know, I wouldn't blame the Rugaru. Dean does look remarkably delicious.
- I love Jared's acting in this scene for some reason. The head weary against the door, the half-panic and half-rationality. Oy.
- Stop, drop, and roll, Rugaru! Stop, drop, and roll!
- See Sam's expression? That expression relates directly to his attempt to reconvene the duality of good and evil and the shattered hope of his ever redeeming himself for the route he has taken. All in that three second soap opera stare.
- "Not alone." Just, ow. Ow.
- Ooh, symbolic glimpse into the mirror of Sam's soul!
- WHOOOO IS THAT GIRL I SEE STARING STRAIGHT BACK AT MEEEEE? WHEN WILL MY REFLECTION SHOW WHO I AM INSIDE?
3:22? Time for bed!
