8.22 "Clip Show"

Here I am again. Again I'm late. I'm really sucking butt lately.

This episode was good, but I'm not gonna say it was one of my favorites. It honestly seemed really short. Like when it ended I was like "......wait...what?"

With any TV show, when people who were saved in previous epsiodes die, it upsets me. The fact that Sarah was killed really bothered me not just on a level of "oh, why did she have to die?" more like "she really didn't have do die."

In my mind she was always the one that got away. She was the one that Sam might eventually end up with. But not only did they give her a husband and daughter, but they freaking killed her off. Can't they let anyone live? Like first Meg and now her? On some level I guess the writers needed a way to push Sam over the edge but seriously, that upset me.

Speaking of Meg, why in holy freaking donkey hell haven't they mentioned the fact that she's dead like at all? I was sure that maybe Crowley would have mentioned it to Cas last episode to get in his head but nope. And that's just disrespectful honestly. I mean the chick was the longest living character besides the boys-and technically the longest living character period because they've died many times- and she doesn't even get a second mention. Cas still doesn't even know and if they don't tell him in the season finale, there is no measure to how angry and unsatisfied I will be.

Bringing Abbadon back was a bad idea, I knew it from the friggin preview that that was a bad idea. It was a terrible idea. Someone as high class and scary as balls like Abbadon should not be brought back no matter how much  you think you've got it under control. You'd think after 8 years these boys would learn. One thing I did love was how horrified Abbadon was when she found out that Crowley, "the salesmen" was now King of Hell. It was honestly priceless.

Everyone was wondering how Dean could be such a douche to Cas. I know it's hard to see because Cas is adorable and yeah he's sorry. But Cas has done so much shady crap and most of the time he's done it he wasn't under the influence of demon blood or possessed. He does however get a pass for being controlled by Naomi. But fans need to stop dismissing Dean's general pissed-offness for being petty or this being some little "lover's tiff because Cas ignoring him hurt his feelings"(I hate it when people say that). The whole point is, Dean has enough to worry about with closing the gates of hell, taking care of Sam, and taking care of Kevin. He doesn't need to have to worry over whether or not he can trust Cas. And most of the time it's hard to tell anymore who Cas is fighting for even if he wants to do the right thing.

So my new prediction is that by the end of the season, Sam will be stuck in hell(again), Castiel will be stuck in heaven, and Dean will be alone on earth (maybe with Garth if they bring him back) just like Sam was at the end of last season, because the writer love parallels *cough* "Goodbye Stranger"*cough*.

Alrighty! Again if I've forgotten something feel free to comment on it. I'll try to get a post in as soon as I can after the finale tonight but my computer is being a doop. I don't know if I'll be able to handle the recap. I've never actually seen them live. So leave your comments and tell me what you're excited about what you don't like and what you do about the and this episode and I'll get back with y'all after the finale. Adios!

8.21 " The Great Escapist"

Sorry this is uuuuuubbber late. I had so much to do. Okay so I thought this episode was pretty good.

So as it turns out, Kevin did get taken by Crowley. Or at least I think he did. I'm still a bit fuzzy on that. I could tell from the start that it wasn't the real Dean and Sam when they came in, it just didn't make sense. Sam looked too healthy, he was saying too many strange Dean-like quips, and they were both too happy. I thought maybe they were Leviathan or demons. But then that rose the question as to why they weren't affected by the holy water. Well, if anyone's wondering, I'm pretty sure Crowley replaced it with regular water.

The scene where Sam and Dean find Kevin's message was pretty deep. It was actually cool to see that the boys have such an emotional connection to Kevin, rather than just an obligation to keep him alive for the sake of their mission. And something that Dean said makes me wonder: why didn't they take Kevin to the batcave.

I like the fact that they went more into Cas's story line in previous centuries, saying that he never completely did what he was told. It makes me wonder if this was the first time he has fully commited himself to helping humans, or a select few. Judging from the way he behaved in the beginning of season 4, I think it may be the first time he has befriended humans at least. But it is possible that this could have happened previously and angels like Naomi made him forget. Speaking of Naomi, the way she finally caught Castiel was just cruel, and it brings us right back to the "angels are dicks" scenario. In a way, angels are worse than demons in this show. At least the demons have a reason to be douchebags; they've been burnin in hell for half an eternity. Angels have no excuse.

I'm gettin really excited about the new weapon choices this season. First Dean's cool machete thing in Purgatory, then the devil's trap carved into the bullet, then the angel blade melted into bullets. It makes me wonder why they havn't come up with these things sooner. Remember the days when angel blades only belonged to angels? Now every rancher and his duck has one of those puppies. Are angels really that easy to kill?

Metatron was kind of a dumbass I'm not gonna lie. He was just sitting around for ceeenttturrieesss reading friggin Jane Eyre and he didn't even bother to look and check the current events. Sam and Dean had a right to be pissed. He missed the freaking apocolypse. I mean that's really effed up.

That's all I got for this week. I probably had more but I can't remember. See ya in a bit.

Happy Birthday, Sam Winchester!


30 years ago today, Sam Winchester was fictitiously born. Since then he has stolen our hearts with his compassion for saving people, his spontaneous sass, and his puppy eyes, his ability to create an amazing sturgeon face, and he has, just as his brother, been a slight obsession of many fans. We've watched him grow from a mop-headed youngster with hope in his eyes to an equally mop-headed monster truck of a man who has the same hopes but an added air of wisdom. Sure, Sam's life may be cursed with tragedy. Sure he has made some mistakes in places down the long road he and Dean travel together, mistakes that have even made others think of him as the lesser character. But those countless fans who stayed behind him will be there until the very end. Because Sam Winchester, real or not, is someone worth believing in. So Happy Birthday, Sam Winchester!!!
