Supernatural 6.17
Ooh, a cold open, my favorite. But.. are we ripping off Final Destination this week?
Oh. Yes. Yes, we are.
Okay, I can deal.
Sam's hair looks nice, all clean and well-arranged and everything. Yay Sam's hair!
Hi Ellen! Damn, I've missed you. Welcome back! 'Course I wouldn't wish "married to Bobby" on my worst enemy but... well, I'm thinking that won't be a problem for more than half an hour or so, yes?
Oh, back to Final Destination. Except death is personified by... what's this? A 20-something blonde cutie? My God, this show.
Anyhow, it's nice to see Sam and Dean getting along and fully on the same page.
Oooh, a ritual. This sort of thing takes me back.
And Balty! I do love Balty and his awesome accent and his capricious ways.
"Because I hated the movie" -- okay, fine, LOL.
Oh hey, Cas/Dean fanservice. That's very kind of them. I mean, to the people who are into Cas/Dean. But I really can't bitch after how freaking delighted I was with the Boyd/Raylan fanservice on Justified so I'll shut it.
Sam and Dean sitting on the same side of the bed and talking, awww.
"Yes, six seconds is too soon." -- LOL.
Wait... how does averting the Apocalypse render Fate obsolete? Wouldn't it do the opposite of that, like save her job? What am I missing here?
I do love that Sam and Dean can't even pretend to worry about Fate Herself having it in for them, either. Heh. They are just so over all of this.
Wait... why would sinking the Titanic be the cleanest fix? Wouldn't that involve, you know, time travel? Something I'm pretty sure Sam and Dean aren't capable of doing. So how is time travel a reasonable plan? Let's discuss this bit of logic next week, Bobby.
Music! YES!
Blah blah blah blah angels yak while our heros are literally frozen in place blah blah blah blah yawn.
God, Fate is fucking whiny.
And I think Sam and Dean know Fate is cruel and capricious, Cas. I don't think a Very Special Lecture was required.
Seriously, Cas left them with their memories just so he could deliver that speech about fate and destiny and free will? That was the whole point of the whole thing? Maybe I missed something. I'll have to go read some other episode reactions tomorrow.
