So is it just me, or was anyone saying "WHAT ABOUT THAT SIGIL YOU JUST LEARNED, DEAN?" for the whole episode? I mean, who am I to complain about a little Sammy-whump, I know, but... that seemed like extraordinarily bad falling down on the logic, there.

Yeah, right? Was there something special about the sigil, that it couldn't be used again? damn my goldfish brain and the laziness that it impeding me going back and rewatching 9.09.

Well, aside from that, it was nice to see Abaddon again, AND I really enjoyed the idea of Crowley as a politician. That's genius. And she's the 'brute!' this disproportionately tickles me. Now if she could just become a major threat.

I feel like this season, the stakes are so low, and we've seen every single one of these moves before, that nothing has any tension in it for me. Sam lets Dean walk away? SHOCK.

I DID like it that Sam gets justifiably pissed at Dean overstepping his consent. Finally!

oh, btw, I keep meaning to ask you: I'd never heard the term 'voyeuristic sadism' before you mentioned it, but I feel like that's a thing, and it's a thing that I think I might also have. But I'm curious to hear more about your take on the concept. If you ever have time, I'd love to chat about it.

No, not that I remember. Gadreel had just basically fucked with the sigil so it wouldn't work. That's just... you know, it hadn't even been a full DAY. Dean would NOT have forgotten. SO. FAIL. Why do they pull that shit?

*gets self under control*

Yes, Abbadon and Crowley were both awesome, but I don't like how weak a position they've put her in. I mean, the population they're fighting over are DEMONS. Don't tell me at least half of them aren't more interested in fucking with people and violence and kicking ass as making deals... and what, exactly, do demons *get* out of making deals, anyway?

So apparently I missed all the Dean/Cas (should've caught it over at [community profile] episodic_supernatural but I am just not a Dean/Cas shipper, apparently (even though I do like them). Mostly my brain went: HOSHIT, ARE THEY GOING TO MAKE MISHA WORK WITH JARED?!?!?!?!!! Because yeah. I would love to be a fly on that set.

I liked Sam's anger, and his insistence that he was ready to die - and that he wouldn't excuse Dean for taking that decision away from him. I do want more of that, I hope there's going to be a big cathartic fight and then hug-fest.

I could talk all day about voyeuristic sadism! I discovered it fairly early in my life, though I didn't put a name to it until recently, maybe 3-4 years ago? I don't like watching everyone get beat up (Sam less than Dean, though I do enjoy Sam as the damsel in distress), but I do enjoy a good beating, that's for sure. Cas beating Dean up is very high on my list of favorite things. :)

Yeah, there was a lot of Dean/Cas, but then I feel like there always is whenever Collins is on screen. BUT ita: THINK OF THE GAG REEL for the ep that Padalecki and Collins work together! And without Ackles' constant withholding of approval.

Cas beating Dean up is very high on my list of favorite things. :) ahah, YES SEE this is definitely a thing. I'm glad I'm not alone. Is it like, an official term? Like something in the...I don't know, bdsm spectrum? I'd never heard it, but it really describes something. And tbh, something that I think is much more culturally pervasive than anyone admits to.

Yeah, I just - I know they're there? Like, when I rewatch and/or someone points them out, I see it. I just don't tend that way automatically, I guess. *shrugs* I don't really ship any of them especially so I think I just bask in all of them being awesome with each other (as in, being angsty and shitty to each other, mostly).

Well, I discovered the idea when I was talking to a kinky friend of mine. I was concerned about it, actually - seeing Cas beat up Dean isn't the worst sort of thing (and you're right, that stuff is SUPER popular in fandom), and she was talking me through accepting it as part of my nature and that it didn't make me a bad person. And she mentioned sadistic tendencies, which I balked at, because I really couldn't hurt a flea myself, physically, and that's when she added the voyeurism to it, and that's when it all sort of aligned itself in my brain, which made things a lot easier to accept.

*watches GIF endlessly*

I'm afraid to watch this ep. Are they going to torture us some more? (I didn't even know Show was back!)

I WANT MY ICONS!
