I love my show.
I haven't been this twitchy waiting for my show for a while, now. I've got high hopes for this one. I feel like we're maybe going to get moving, to deal with something head on. To go straight to that prime-grade emoporn place where the show used to live. Oh, Krip, I'm ready. Come on, give it to me.
Spoilers and exuberance and heated cussing and blatant objectification after the cut.
Dean jesus Christ I love you so much you awesome freak. "Heat of the Moment"! Yeee!
I kind of love the traces of smart!Dean here - Sammy has no idea what he's doing, Dean is skeptical, Dean's brain is shiny. Smart!Dean makes me happy.
...fuck. Dean got shot. Oh my god. Fuck me. Jesus Christ, show. (he didn't even get last words. shit, dean.) That ... that hurt.
And back to Asia!
Dingo ate my baby!
Okay, yeah, this is kind of what I was waiting for. Yeah.
I love how the repeating events kind of draw our attention to the construct of the narrative - the non-Winchester world is very much present in this ep, and I like it. The movers and the waitress and the homeless guy. Usually they move in a tv bubble, where they only interact with people when it's of use to the plot. But this is cool.
Holy fucking god, Sammy's hot when he wakes up sweaty and panty and emo and in a tshirt. And when he lays back down with a sign. God, I just want to frickin eat him up. I want to lick his collarbone. I'm having serious lustful thoughts Sammy-wards, here. Mmmm, mmmm.
TRICKSter!!!! WHOOOOO!!! This is so awesome there are not even words. TRICKSTER YAY YAY YAY OMG
I'm kind of glad they played most of Dean's deaths for laughs. I might not have been able to take it if they'd shown the aftermath of each. Sam's probably glad too - he doesn't have to deal with those agonizing days that Dean did, in the space between his own death and his resurrection. The reality of it almost doesn't set in. Thanks, show - otherwise, this would have fucking shredded me.
We're back to the old-style shape of the show, where the MotW stands for the hidden emotions and psychic scars of the main characters. The metaphors are coming back. I approve - it makes watching much more fun for those of us who are litgeeky. Sammy has to watch Dean die, over and over again, and he can't do anything about it. His deepest fears are being made reality, and he has to escape. He can't save Dean. He has to change the rules of the scenario. Every day they do the same things, and Dean dies. Precautions don't work, small changes don't work. Sammy has to change the nature of his world if he's going to save his big brother.
Okay, see I say thanks for not hurting me and the show absolutely kills me. Oh god, Sammy. Oh baby. "I'm supposed to wake up." and the same camera pullback from AHBL, a mirror of Sam's own death. Just. Oh god boys.
If they weren't dealing with the reality of Dean's death before, they sure are now.
Also, it hurts waaay more after that big happy Sam smiles when he wakes up and it's Wednesday. They're back in the right place, and then it all goes wrong. And it's not like I didn't see it coming, didn't know, but still. Oh god.

... I have no ability at all to talk about what just happened. Sammy. BOBBY. Sam hunting alone, bleeding, sewing his own body back together by himself in a motel room, obsessing. I had no idea this was going to happen. Ever, but certainly not here.
He's so much like John. He's SO MUCH like John.
(And Bobby, fuck man, never do that to me again. I really can't deal with a world where Sam stabs Bobby. Or any sort of world without Bobby, for that matter. I thought I was maybe going to die, there, for a minute.)
... Okay, so right now I feel like this is the best we've had it all season. I feel like this makes up for an entire third season of blah, because this was so freaking awesome that I have no words. I didn't think we were going here. This is one of the most expansively imaginative episodes I've ever seen. It did SO MUCH. And now I'm really steamed for next week. Show, you are on a roll, baby!
eta: holy hell, is this the first ep Jeremy Carver's written? Damn, guy's got mad skilz.
