asdfsadkfkdf! Omgomgomg *spazz* Aaaaaaaaa, I swear I just spent the last hour either breathing "Omgomgomgomg" over and over, or outright saying it. Waaaaaaaaaaaah *flails about*. Holy *crap*, that pushes all my suspense and tension buttons so well. \o/ But seriously, I am really normally very self conscious about reacting out loud since the husband's in the same room on his computer while I'm watching TV, but god*Dang*, I couldn't help myself. I was talking to the TV, yelping, flailing (I do not lie), out-loud laughing, almost jumping (I startle, hush :| ), even applauding at certain bits. OH SHOW, how do you *get* to me so easily? \o/

Whoo. Okay. I LOVE SO MANY CHARACTERS IN THIS \o/ I love Sam and Dean in this. BUT OH GOD HOW I LOVE CROWLEY AND YES, BOBBY, TOO. \o/ EEEEEEEE ♥ Holy *keerap*, Crowley is SO AWESOME AAA. And he has the best lines. ♥ I love the writing for him, I adore his actor. *GLEE* ♥ Though, imo, the best wisecrack by him by far was the whole "lovers in league against Satan" and "Hello, darling" bits to Brady. I have in my notes "LOLOLOLOLOL" written about that part. :p ♥ And Bobby's "shoot you so full of rock salt, you'll crap margaritas." XD SUCH love for them this ep.

But zomg, where to start? Loved the whole 'promotion to communications' bit (oh, demon puns, loooool), and funny how middle management with humans parallels that in demonkind so well. :p And I must admit, that early bit where Dean and Crowley retrieve Brady must have made the Dean whumpers happy. :p Poor Dean *squishes him*. Lemme say this, though--the nonverbal communication between Dean and Sam when Dean's agreeing to go with Crowley alone was *stellar* ♥ God, Jared and Jensen do so freaking *amazingly* well with that.

Holy cats though, they had me edge of the damned couch regarding Sam this ep. Half my muttering "omgomgomg" over and over was definitely in regards to him. I have "oh Sam, no" and "oh god Sam, no" and "control, Sam, control" in my notes over and over. ^^; Goddang, he was intense, and so hair's breadth from *snapping* it was freaking incredible. I seriously was convinced he was going to lose it when he barricaded Dean in the bathroom and went after Brady. I was *sure*. I love that he reigned himself in though. His anger is frightening, but that he's proving to himself that he can control it even in the *worst* situation is important growth for the character.

I must say, the confrontation between Sam and Dean vs. Brady near the end was SO freaking satisfying. I really about squealed that it wasn't just Sam doing it, but Dean stayed with Sam, *laid out the freaking salt circle for him*. ♥ BOYS ♥. In this together ♥ Though holy *shiiiiiit* Sam in that scene was so incredibly, beautifully dangerous, that I truly was holding my breath in reaction. That whole bit was just chilling, in all the right ways. And yes, that's where I applauded, that they were allowing him to take out Brady, and that Dean was there with him, and that he got to do it and didn't step back from it and let the demon live instead. That's one of those moments that I believe completely that Sam *NEEDED* that. Needed that closure, needed that justice (and in this case, I do believe it's not simple revenge, but justice)--the closure regarding that being the demon who actually killed Jess, who set them up, was absolutely necessary, imo, crucial even. Considering his revenge against Lilith for Dean was so tainted (by how he had to fall so far to do it, how it broke things between he and Dean, how it was the final seal and started the apocalypse), being able to get I guess what could be called "clean" or with-no-strings-attached vengeance/justice on demon!Brady to me feels important for Sam. I'm glad he got to do that.

Though I will admit, it made me heartachey for the person Brady originally was, and for the friendship that Sam lost when the demon took over Brady, especially considering how hard Sam worked to help his friend going through all that trouble back then. Goddang, though. :/ There is nothing in the Winchesters' lives that just *happens*, every last goddang thing was set up like a freaking chess game by heaven and hell. Does sort of, in a backwards logic sort of way, help explain John's reaction when Sam wanted to leave. Maybe he didn't know what exactly would happen, but obviously he knew it would leave Sam vulnerable--though obviously the Winchesters could be manipulated by angels or demons even when together, but Sam alone at college was obviously open season.

*Still* babbling about the Sam&Dean and Brady scene, though (promise, I'll shut up about it in a sec :x ), the whole "interesting theory" thing also made me hurt for Sam, holy beans. Oh, Sammy ♥ He might as well have said yeah, Brady was exactly right about everything he was taunting Sam with. Perhaps it wasn't that, was just a 'interesting theory, but you're not right at all' thing, but you know, I don't think so. Not with the emotional intensity Sam was reacting to the taunts with, not with the way Sam's character is. We know Sam by now, and damn, but that is the sort of guilt and self-hate he has carried around. What a way for Dean to really get a view of his brother's psyche, eh?

Anyway. Invisible hellhound fight has to be the COOLEST freaking battle between things I couldn't see EVER. I ♥ Crowley's freaking monstrous hellhound so. ^^; I can't help it, that scene was just exciting and that's one of the bits I was for real flailing around at. I'm such a dork. :|

By the way "That's what you get for working with a demon" is like something the Winchesters (and Bobby) need to freaking MEMORIZE. Good golly, they never learn *facepalm*. And yeah, so anyway, still worried about Sam, because the whole how to get Lucifer back through the gate thing...I mean, yeah, Sam's *right*, he's not going to just walk back in because they tell him to, and it's not like they can just give him a shove. But Sam's idea is *so* freaking BAD BAD NO BAD, I just want to shake the character. ^^; And damn, I'm worried about Bobby, because while I *LOVED* "Here's my counter" (serious out loud laugh moment, that :p ), the whole 'temporary give it right back' thing as much as I like Crowley has got to be so full of hooey, that he'd be insane to eventually make that deal. And I'm just worried that'll be what eventually happens.

Speaking of deals... >_> Muttering about the preview here, so avert your eyes. Not that there was much--preview with the freaking least content ever, what? But um, man, the whole Dean meeting up with Death thing worries me like woah. I mean, is this going to end up with Sam, Bobby, and Dean all freaking making damned deals or bad choices? ^^; The season finale is going to kill me, I think.

Speaking of killing me... :p So I think I'm going to have to make Thursdays TV dinner nights. I get so tense and anxious and excited once Thursday afternoon hits, my stomach knots up like freaking crazy. Can barely eat dinner, almost can't eat, practically feel sick doing so. ^^; Good lord show, what you do to me. (And good lord, self, it's a freaking *TV show*, why do you let it get to you so bad? *headdesk*)

Didn't help I was also on edge during whole thing because I was worried the storms moving through would be nasty and make us lose power. :p At least we just had normal thunderstorms (though I think the worse stuff is finally moving in)--because I got to watch the weather alerts flash over and over about the ugly storm warnings to our west and east and about the tornadoes being reported to our southwest. ^^; Criminy. No storm power outages these last few Thursdays, kthanks!!

Definitely looking forward to some coda/tag stuff for this one, though, for Sam & Dean (and for Sam/Dean, of course of course).

I know the title screen animated icon is my usual for show reactions, but man, this one's definitely appropriate, and might stay so for the last few episodes. I'm so going to go listen to that Jen Titus version on repeat for perhaps the rest of the night. ♥
