Dude, it's been FOREVER since I posted, but maybe you've heard, Supernatural's back. :D
So, I had to force myself to write this up before I went off to read any one else's reactions cos then I would be nothing more than a puddle of squee and flail (not that I'm not already) but then I would have zero brain power left to say anything about the premiere.
Where to begin? Seriously I'm just. I'm at a fucking loss. I'm shaking and grinning and dying inside and I can't believe that I actually just watched it. I mean, all summer long it felt like it was never going to get here and now I've fucking WATCHED IT. Now I KNOW. And just yeah. My mind is fucking blown.
I knew a few spoilers going in. Like, Dean waking up in a pine box and Sam hooking up with some chick and that the psychic lady's eyes were not to be long for this world. But that was all and just. I'm fucking reeling and I don't honestly know where to begin, so I'mma just start flailing and see where it takes me, y/y?
OMG the date on the newspaper!!! I know I'm a major nerd but omg I fucking LOVED that it was today's date. LOVE LOVE LOVED! Eee!
GRATUITOUS DEAN NUDITY. Seriously, when was the last time we got a good look at Jensen's chest like that? I mean, as Dean, have we ever?? Cos even back in his sex scene we don't get to see nearly enough. So, you know, THANK YOU FOR THAT POWERS THAT BE. I seriously almost fell off the bed and then had to do the dance of gratuitous nudity. Our show needs more. Also, TATTOO. Gnuh.
OMG Dean's wrecked voice was the first thing that made me weepy. Like, it just sounded so destroyed and raw and what is Dean without his freaking VOICE. Oh man, totally got to me.
When all the windows started breaking and the screeching was going on I so so so wanted it to be Sam. As soon as I saw all the fallen trees I wanted it to be Sam. Even though I knew it wasn't, I WANTED it.
The second phone call to Bobby, where he threatens to kill him if he calls again? Hi, I'm broken.
I wanted Dean to find Sam first, before they went to Bobby, I wanted them to have their reunion separate, just the two of them, but hey, you can't always get what you want. And, you know, I will take an EXTREMELY LONG hug (with Sammy all fresh from the the shower, no less) and reference to the two of them being ridiculously gay for each other any time I can get it. The end.
I kinda wanted it to be a bigger deal that Dean was back cos it was just kind of like OMFG YOU'RE NOT DEAN! I KEEL YOU! and then OMFG YOU ARE DEAN, LEMME HOLD YOU CLOSE! and then business as usual. 's the Winchester way, I know, but still. *wants*
The necklace. Dear God, the necklace. See, Dean's amulet is something I have ... a bit of an obsession with and the one thing I always wondered about Mystery Spot, when Dean's dead for all those months, was FUCK, WHERE'S DEAN'S AMULET, PLEASE LET SAM BE WEARING IT. PLEASE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK, KRIPKE PLEASE. And then No Rest For the Wicked happened and I was left all summer long wondering the same damn thing. And to have that payoff and actually get to see Sam take the necklace off himself and give it back to Dean? I cried a lot during this ep, as per usual, but nothing made me cry harder than that little moment. Made my fucking WORLD.
iPod in the Impala and Sam being COMPLETELY unapologetic about it FTW. What song was playing? I wish it had been something I know!!
Oh, Pamela. You are my new hero. THREESOME PROPOSITION. THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT. I just. OMG. I love this damn show.
You know, I naively honestly thought we were going to be gifted with a scene of the BOTH of them sitting in a diner together and actually EATING their pie, but no. Of course not. *shakes fist* Fuck, Dean was such a sexass with that demon girl though. Nnnngh. And the way they just walk out of there like badass mother fuckers? Yes and please.
I like to think it's because of my perky nipples. HEEEEEEEE!
Sigh. New Ruby. I just. Yeah. I'm not on board. I'm really kind of just meh about the whole thing, and that's mostly because I fucking adore Katie Cassidy and was so so bummed when I heard they couldn't bring her back and now having Ruby back and it not being her just feels weird. Plus the girl that's playing her comes across kinda ... wishy washy, which is, you know, NOT RUBY AT ALL EVER. But she says she's gonna take a step back and I'mma have to see where it all goes before I decide if I'm gonna like it or not. So yeah. Meh.
HOWEVER. I maybe sorta lost my shit when Sam started using his powers. Cos like, I reeeeeeally wanted that. Like ridiculously bad. And then when Sam's like dude it was your dying wish, of course not, I was all awww okay fine, I can accept it because he has a good fuckin' reason. But then he stretched out his hand and I DIIIIIIIIIED. Because FUCK. YEAH. Just. Fuck yeah.
And then we have the whole angel thing.
Angels and God and Heaven and divine power was really not anywhere I ever ever ever expected Supernatural to go, honestly. I mean it's gone there a little bit here and there and it's definitely hinted at, I just never thought we'd get to explore it. The line from Houses of the Holy keeps replaying in my head where Sam says how there's so much more lore on angels than the other stuff they hunt. And just. I'm really really really excited. That's all there is to it.
I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition. DUDE. CHILLS.
Yeah. IDEK what else to say. But I'm excited and all abuzz and this was one hell of an opener. And OMFG MY SHOW IS BACK!!!!! What more can I say except I can't WAIT til next week.
*jumps around like an idiot*
I love having Thursdays back.
