is your soul rapture-ready?
OH MY FUCKING GOD. ♥ THIS IS NOW MY FAVORITE SPN EPISODE EVER.
And for the running-ish commentary:
∼ I didn't expect continuity porn in the form of the Croatoan plague! (I wouldn't have expected anything about this episode, not in a million years, if I hadn't accidentally read the premise somewhere a few days ago.)
∼ DO YOU LOVE ME & SHOOTING ZOMBIES = AWESOMEST OF AWESOME. Is there some iconic zombie movie where they waste the walking dead to the tune of something that creates fantastic cognitive dissonance? Something that isn't Shaun of the Dead, I mean? It was kind of a Shaun moment for me, but it's all good. The photography! The music! It was amazing.
∼ The thing with the panties. That they didn't play it as a huge joke was so refreshing. I felt good about that! I felt extra good, because right there was an opportunity for extra special headdesk-worthy angsting, and they didn't take it.
∼ CASTIEL OMFG NO CAPSLOCK IN THE WORLD IS ENOUGH FOR THIS WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK.
OH MY HEART. LIFE HAPPENED TO HIM. First it's hilarious that he's a stoned hippie. Then... I don't know what to think about his Group Sex For Cosmic Connection thing; I'm all for orgies but he's so not buying his own sex guru BS, and the way he dismisses the women to talk to Fearless Leader is pretty skeevy. Plus, they're all women. But then he's hilarious again, and oh so broken. And finally he's just broken. MY HEART.
∼ "What? I like past you." ♥
Misha's scary good at playing cracked. I'm legit scared of future Castiel.
Because post-apocalyptic scenarios are fun escapism and not actual reality for me, I prefer future Dean. I'm sure if that was my reality, I'd still prefer future Dean because he's good at taking care of shit. But I can see how past Dean, with a sense of humor and in comparison shiny bright morals would be all that.
∼ INSOUCIANT. That's such a Misha word. ♥
AND OF COURSE HE'S GOING ALONG ON THE MISSION. HE KILLED ANGELS FOR DEAN, HE FUCKED UP HIS LIFE FOR DEAN, IT'S NOT LIKE HE'LL QUIT NOW. ♥ Is my ship showing?
∼ Future Dean is selling his case so hard, I'm almost convinced this isn't the actual future but something Zach made up with his mind. We know he can, Dean knows he can. Why hasn't he been suspicious so far?
∼ Aw man, I'm not surprised but Jared isn't quite good enough to make Lucifer epic. It gets a bit mottsy, because the lines are... so bad they'd be good with an actor who can pull it off. (Bonus whine: I'm tired and bored with Morningstars who tell the story of their fall like it's a well-kept secret, with this expectation that the listener will immediately sympathize with Lucifer now. Sigh. I'm sure there are people who will be surprised, but generally those are not the people who consume stories about Lucifer.)
But Dean! His reply is a bit heartbreaking. The words are all tough guy posturing and anger, but his face is all about having to say this to Sam. And Lucifer-in-Sam's faaaace! His assurance that whatever Dean does, this is how it will end! His expressive non-expression, I don't even know. MY HEART, HAVE I MENTIONED. (Jared nailed that bit, I'll give him that.)
∼ Oh, Dean did suspect it wasn't real. Or at least he does once he's face to face with Zach and not the people who act and feel plenty real. I don't really see a reason to believe Zach's rather flimsy assurance that the time for tricks is over, though. Dean's 'nah' was PERFECT. I dread the consequences, but it was perfect.
∼ CASTIEL EX MACHINA. DEAN'S FACE. "DON'T EVER CHANGE." OH THEM. ♥
∼ "We make our own future." I'm ecstatic that they think they can pull through together after all. Apparently this is a lesson the boys have to learn and learn and learn again, because it never sticks. Anticipating the reunion didn't make it any less genuinely tearful for me. I still want Dean and Sam together, I still want this to be the Sam and Dean and Castiel show, not just the latter two. But if they immediately start with the annoying angsting at each other, I reserve the right to change my mind, eventually. It feels like Dean had found some real optimism somewhere at the end, though, not the kind where he's lying to himself through his teeth. Or lying for Sam's benefit, either. Fingers crossed, so hard.
