SPN 6x12
So, I don't know if I've mentioned it, but I loved Robo!Sam. Loved. He made me laugh and ache in about equal measure.
But I was so happy to see normal!Sam that I just about squealed. Puppy is back! ♥
Also, I'm not gonna lie, I laughed my ass off watching Dean try to get at the sword. The swelling music as he falls on his ass was genius. Heh. Even if his whole plan to just... not tell Sam about Robo!Sam was kinda moronic. I'm not sure why he expected that to last any longer than the plan not to tell Sam about The Deal. But I loved him for trying to protect Sam in his own, lovably denial-prone way. He really felt more like a Season 2-flavored Dean than he has since... well, S2. This is a good thing. I liked him best in S2. And I just wanted to pinch his cheek when he smiled at Sam being all Sam-like. ♥
Also, brownie points to him for making it clear that he's drawing a clear and firm distinction between normal!Sam and Robo!Sam. Though I liked Sam's roofie analogy. Kinda wish we'd seen him apologize to Bobby rather than Dean. It was Bobby who spent the whole episode wanting the apology. I also wish Sam had accepted the hug from Castiel. He didn't realize how much he was going to need it. Those tear-filled eyes when he found out: I just wanted to leap on him and hug him till he felt better. And how much do I love that Cas came when he called, no fuss, no muss, no complaining that he was busy, and also offered to hug Sam. Cas is his friend! ♥
I'm filled with such love for Show. I love that I love Show as much as I do right now.
I'm placing my bets that "Mother" is Echidna, Mother of All Monsters. Who's with me?
