Supernatural 4x07: It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester

[krisomniac]

So, about those two, hot mudmonkeys.

First, I loved this one, it gave me shivers throughout. Whereas I've had some beef with the last. I thought the plot, the demon, the twist with sibling witches/warlocks, the choice, the angels/zombies/ghosts/kids in costume were all SPOT on. Also, I love our boys, I love how this season is developing. I love Kripke's patience, when I want all my reveals NOW. just so much love.

- Two words. Jail. Bait. :D Oh Dean, never change, keep going after six hundred year old hags in sixteen-year-old clothing.

- Sam's FACE when Dean introduces him to Castiel. Sam rocked this whole ep out in general, but this moment was PRECIOUS.

- I'm also really glad that he got to meet the angels, even if it was a little disillusioning, because the way Dean's been talking about them (beings no one else has seen or hear sending him on missions back in time) makes him sound kinda like a crazy person. ;) Well, you know what he'd say if it was SAM seeing angels from God.

- Still on the angel thing, I'm LOVING where they're going with Castiel's character. He's almost becoming a fluffy-guardian angel despite himself. His language is... a little coloquial sometimes, but I guess you can only steal a human body for so long without overusing the word 'like'. I love that Dean seems so much more comfortable around him now. Not sure whether it's an intentional sign of his angelic vibe, but it works for me.

- Dean's speech to Sam in the car was great. "Babe Ruth was a dick, but baseball is still abeautiful game." We all knew he loved baseball. And we all know he loves Sam. But that moment was so perfectly big-brother.

- Uriel is kind of a creep. I like that.

- Sam's thing with the blood was awesome. Dean's reaction was even better. (For the record, THAT was the reaction I think they should've played up to Sam's crazy last-minute plan last episode.)

- I could almost not watch while Sam was fighting Samhain. It gave me goosebumps. He's totally powerful, and I don't think Dean really got it until that moment (and he would've done it all again.) Normally, you know he would've run in, grabbed the knife, and whaled on that demon before Sam could finish his mental-exorcism. But it was so, so gloriously human that he just stood and stared instead.

- Finally, Sam's FACE when Uriel mentioned Dean's memories of Hell. That killed me.

From start to finish, awesome ep.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Dean's speech to Sam in the car was great. "Babe Ruth was a dick, but baseball is still abeautiful game." We all knew he loved baseball.

As a huge baseball FREAK, I squeed out loud at that one. _{(Although Ty Cobb was a bigger dick than Babe Ruth, but I suppose Ruth was more of an iconic figure... *cough*)}

And Castiel LAUGHED. He's getting a sense of humor! *dance*

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

hehehee. He is TOTALLY a baseball freak. He wanted so bad to do little league as a kid, but he never told anyone, especially not John.

And Castiel. He is quickly becoming as favorite a recurring character as Bobby. Although I still miss Ellen. He's more and more human as the season goes on, and I for one, think it works on him. With the two on their bench at the end of the ep, I kept getting shades of Good Omens. :D

[shiverfree.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD, ME TOO. YES!

[vichan.livejournal.com]

Castiel instantly grabbed me. And I do love how he is slowly becoming more human, because one of the reasons he fascinates me so much is because he's one of the few creatures we've met that never WAS human. (Seriously - vampires, werewolves, wendigos, even demons - all human once.) The angels really add a new dynamic to the show, and I am absolutely in love with that.

AND OMG, I KNOOOOOW!!! Good Omens is on my winter re-reading list, although I think I might move it up. (How long do you think it'll be until we see some crossover action? :-D)

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

Eeee!!! All the way until WINTER?!? Definitely worth moving up. (And i may say this because it's the book I turn to whenever I need a laugh or inspiration or just a pick-me-up on a bad day)

As for the crossovers... already got some half-started on the hard drive. Er.

I loved Dean's, "I would never!" followed by the shrug after the jailbait comment. XDDD Castiel is so, so, SO one of my favorite things of this whole season. The character development! *flails*

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

OMg, I am loving Castiel every minute! Especially with the side-by-side comparison to Uriel. He's growing so much, and it works so well with the character, I mean, 6,000 years away from people, it's bound to take a little time to catch up. ;)

i need to load some Castiel icons...

I loved that Sam drew his gun on the angels before he knew what they were. And then his little astonished and delighted faaaaaace. *draws hearts around fangirl!Sam*

And, yes! I originally was mad at Dean for not picking up the knife and jumping in to the fight with Samhain, but I love your explanation that he was shocked and stunned by the manifestation of Sam's powers (although he did see evidence of them that night he was peeping-Tom on Sam and Ruby, so...) Meh. Who cares? Great explanation.

<3

He totally did. Jared was so ON in this ep, and he had some totally fabulous moments. I can't wait to see some of the ramifications of what he's learned and what he's done over the next few weeks. *bites fingernail in anticipation*

Yeah, but when he saw it with Ruby, that was a low-level kinda scrub demon. This was... Samahin. I mean, damn. I was blown away. (also I think part of Dean's hesitation was maybe to see if Sam could really do it. I think if Samhain had started to win, Dean would've been in there with the knife faster than you can say 'gotcha')

I know it wasn't your favorite ep of the season, but maybe on rewatch? (it was definitely one of mine)

Trickortreating tonight?

[deirdre-c.livejournal.com]

I've already rewatched a couple of key scenes (jailbait, fangirl!Sam, blood on the face, Sam v. Uriel) and I'm liking it better all the time. How could I not?! BOYS!

Trickortreating tonight?

Yes. Off to quick carve pumpkins and then get everyone dressed. Copious pictures to be taken. Then off to hit the neighbors up for chocolate! :D

I'll try to post some pics under flock tomorrow. Hope you have a fun evening too! (Are you already done traveling and home?!)

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

Still at the airport. Two hours til flight time. Home tomorrow sometime. Whee!! Will ramble ad nauseum about travels under flock at some point.

Your kids are officially the CUTEST! See, if we were all guaranteed models like that? It wouldn't be so darn scary.

Sam's thing with the blood was awesome. Dean's reaction was even better.

HA, yes! I loved that. And Jared's giant hand all over Jensen's face wasn't unpleasant to watch, either!

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

Hehehee. No it wasn't. (And you're INCORRIGIBLE! That is, of course, why we love you.) :D
