It is no secret how much I love Supernatural. It is my favorite show and if you get me started, I could talk forever. The community of people that watch this show are like a family. And that's what we call each other, the "SPN Family." The idea that a world wide group of strangers can band together and do amazing things is one of the things that make this show so great. I went to my first convention back in September and it just increased my love for this show. Meeting the cast and hearing everyone talk about how much they care about this show and these characters was amazing. That's one of the reasons I am so proud of last night's episode. I'll admit, when I first heard that Misha and Mark were not in the 200th episode, I was more than a little upset, especially because they have grown to become my favorite characters. However, I saw a comment on tumblr that said "Of course Mark and Misha aren't in it. It's not THIER 200th episode. It's Jensen and Jared's." And I felt like it was absolutely correct. At it's core, Supernatural is about 2 brothers that drive across the country, saving people and hunting things. That's exactly what this episode was about. It was a homage to everything Sam and Dean have been through, and the emotional journey that the fans have gone through as well. It was a thank you and an acknowledgement to the fans. Robbie took his time to throw in little nods to the past 10 years and as a fan from season one, I really appreciated it. He even took some of the "fan specific" things (Destiel, Adam, the Samulet) and pretty much said "hey, we hear you." It was beautiful and I couldn't have asked for a better episode. So congrats on 10 years and 200 Episodes. I think I can sum it up in 2 simple words, "not bad."
I haven't done one of these for awhile, so I figured why not. Like last time, if you follow me on twitter, (@the_queen_e - personal, @fangirlmindmeld - blog) you probably saw some of these last night. This is just a more in depth version (sticking to 140 characters is hard!!!). Anyway, I enjoyed this episode. It did raise a lot more questions than answers, but all in all, it was good. Robbie is one of my favorite writers, and I always enjoy his episodes. Gabe was a wonderful surprise, just wished I could have seen more of him. Also wish TFW would stay together, but if I had my way, Cas would be in every episode lol. That being said, here's my crazy train of thought from episode 9x18, "Meta Fiction." - I hate Metatron so much - Ehehehe...."subtext" - I don't want to hear your fucking story Metatron - You don't deserve a title card My body is ready.... - I love how Jensen doesn't even have to say a single word. It's all in his eyes and that sigh.... - NO DEAN, YOU'RE NOT FINE - CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! - Look at Cas using a camera phone!!! So proud of my baby!!!! - Nice try.....you can't sneak up on my Cas!!! - That smile....... (Ok, my little interjection here. Cas called and Sam picked up, so Cas assumed that Dean wasn't around and he talks to Sam about what he's found out so far. Then he makes the mini bar comment and hears Dean's voice and that involuntary smile comes across his face. He's all straight gruff and business with Sam, but the moment he hears Dean's voice, it becomes a much softer, "How are you Dean?") - I love Sam's face. He's like "please remember that I'm sitting here" - And then Dean's quick "I'm fine Cas, how are you?" Aka "not now Cas, Sam's right here" (Another quick interjection. I love writing my fanfic to go in between episodes, because when the next episode airs, it's like ehehehe....I know why you're smiling like that) - Sam's like, "OK.....back to business" - And we're back to the gruff...... - "This ain't Diagon Alley" (Let me tell you how hard my heart started beating right then....) - "That's inappropriate" lmao Cas, you are perfect!!!!! - GABE?????? NO, IT CAN'T BE.....ITS JUST LEFT OVER FROM SEASON 5 -SRYZHFXJGCJGTUARARYZYRAYEAYRSHFXJGCJHCGDAAYEAY RAYRAXJGXGRAYRAXJGXCHIOUCIYXUTZYTAYRAYRATDUTXUXYX YXXYJXJGXUTZUTSYRAYRSYRDHTXJGXJGXJGXUTSYRSYRAYRS HTZHGRXHFXHFXFZFAYRATSUTXJGXHXHFZYRSYRSYTSUTXJGXJ GXJHKCIYUXYTRYZRAYR (Let me tell you how I screamed so loud, my dad came upstairs to ask me if I was ok. I just said GABRIEL!!!!! ITS GABRIEL!!!! And he just shook his head and left) - "I thought you were dead...." - Can I just say, I'm LOVING Richard's hair???? - "Used most of my juice to get back into porn" - WHOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Frontman Gabe!!!! - Damn I missed you Gabe......THAT SASS THOUGH!!!!! - "You're boy toy and I...." I can't!!!! - "Croowlay and Abbadouche" - "Bitch please......you've been God more often than Dad has" I CAN'T!!!!! BEST LINE OF THE EPISODE SO FAR!!!! - Ok, I'm loving Gabe, but something seems off. He wants to lead??? - How you know the gas is low??? You're not looking at the dash, and what was that look??? - I don't like this..... - GAS AND SIP!!!!!!! Awwwww, Steve!!!! - I repeat I don't like this..... - Wait, is Gabe going to fight???? Like for real???? - Wait, "stall them"????? NOOOOO, ROBBIE, YOU BETTER NOT!!!!!! - No rip......what's going on???? - Gabe, what did you do???? - WHAT?????? WAIT, WHERE'S GABE????? - "I really hate continuity errors" Lmao, Robbie you are a mess!!! - Wait, "hear him out"???? WTF GABE????? - "Sorry, didn't read the whole script, just skimmed for my parts." (Apparently not!!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!!) anything.... - Wait, so he's been talking to Cas this whole time???? I'm confused.... - Oh, ok...... - Now Cas has pop references - CHUCK!!!!!! Seriously, where is he???? Sn- I NEEEEEEDDDD those books!!!!! - MY CAS IS NOT A VILLAIN!!!!!!!! - Sammy, please don't fall for that. He just wants you to leave so he can fuck ol buddy up - Nope. That's the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of how this works..... - Damn, I almost feel bad for Gadreel. Dean's got the "hell face" on - "It's gonna burn YOU out." Wait, what????? NO!!! I don't like the sound of that.... - Don't try that shit. Dean can see right through you... - Told you!!!!! - NO DEAN NO!!!!!!! - OH DEAN, PLEASE TELL ME YOU DIDN'T!!! - OH THANK CAS!!!!! - Sam, that's a stupid plan. Not gonna work.... - See..... - IT'S A TRAP!!!! - I bet that fire ain't shit to him - I knew it - TEAM FREE WILL, TOGETHER AGAIN!!!!!! Ok, can we talk about how Sam's soul was fucking gone, and Cas had NO idea what was wrong. But one look at Dean and he knows something's up - And Sam is in the background like, I don't want to be around for this - "Damnit Dean" aka "if your brother wasn't here right now" - And here's Sam again, like "don't look at me, you knew he was going to be pissed" - Wait, why are they leaving???? Why aren't they staying together??? - Here we go with the "Cass" shit again....
Well, that's it!!! Hope you guys enjoyed it. I live tweet every episode, so check me out on the twitters!!! I have gone back and forth on this since the episode ended. I can now 100% say that I completely stand behind Sam in his decision. Let me tell you why. I am a Dean girl, (as long as it’s just between Sam and Dean. You throw Cas in there and it’s a whole different story lol) but Dean has to learn that Sam is a grown ass man. Now I understand part of it is John’s fault. Shit, his WHOLE LIFE has been “no matter what you do, take care of Sam.” So I don’t fault him too much, but at some point, this shit has to stop. Gadreel could have killed Sam. And then what? I mean Dean has gone to hell and back (LITERALLY) to save Sam, and that’s great, only this time, Sam didn’t want to be saved. Dean TRICKED Sam, and to just sweep that under the rug and move on like nothing happened, is crazy. Yes, he’s the boy with the demon blood, yes he raised Lucifer and started the Apocalypse, and yes, he even left Cas and Dean in purgatory, but does that mean he doesn’t deserve to be at peace? Death himself came to reap Sam and take him to Heaven and Dean robbed him of that chance, and lied to him for months about it. Don’t get me wrong, I get it. I get that Dean wanted to keep his baby brother around, but at what cost? I hope this is something the boys can work through and get past, but I honestly don’t know….
I thought I'd try something different than a typical recap. Here are the thoughts that went through my crazy mind during First Born.... - I think I've seen Kevin die enough times thank you. No need to put it in the recap EVERY WEEK (unless you're bringing him back, in which case, by all means, show it as many times as you need to) - LASSIE!!!!!! - 11 episodes in, and I'm STILL not over that title card. It's beautiful!!!!!! - Of course Dean is in a bar. I thought his time in Purgatory kinda forced the alcoholism away, but nope, here we are. At the bar, drunk off his ass. Dean, baby, you have to deal with these issues.... - CROWREY!!!!!! - That stubble.......damn that stubble...... - "That waitress is trouble with a capital VD" I heard that Robbie snuck a good one in there lol -DEAN AND CROWLEY!!!!! :0) - ITS A TRAP!!!!!! (My inner Star Wars nerd leaks out sometimes lol) - "I miss you PB&J" Yes, PB&JS are delicious, but Cas, I know you miss being human. I think you actually enjoyed it......my poor Cas :0( - I miss you backwards necktie..... - "That's not true! I once deceived AND betrayed both you and your brother." I love how offended he is lol. He's like hey!!! I learned how to lie from the best!!! I'm a honorary Winchester, if there's one thing we know...its lying lol - "I've been inside your brother, we're practically family...." I swear Crowley has the best lines in the show!!! Lol - Can we talk about how Crowley LET Dean throw him against the rack like that???? I mean this is the King of Hell, he could have done any number of things to stop Dean from grabbing him. But Crowley knows Dean is going through some shit and he's LETTING him push him around and let off some steam. Seriously, tell me again how Crowley doesn't care about the boys..... - "Hunter's Hogwarts".....I love when they reference Harry Potter!!!! - Ok, so does that mean there's some "Lucifer" still floating around on Sam???? - "You have a guinea pig? Where?" SAM WINCHESTER, YOU BUY CASTIEL A GUINEA PIG RIGHT THIS INSTANT!!!!!! - "I'm the King of Hell, he's a Winchester. There's a REASON we're working together." Yes, to cause grown ass women to have impure thoughts about fictional characters lmao - Obligatory "wet Dean" lol - RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!!! - BABY!!!! - "Scared" Crowley is so adorable!!!!! - I can't help thinking about Crazy Cas!!!! "I watch the bees" - The pinky though lmao - "It's been a pleasure having company, but once a century is enough for me." I'm sooooo using this line lol - "Sam, may I ask you a question?" "You just did" "Can I ask you another question?" "Well, technically you....yeah go ahead" Sammy, leave my baby alone lol - Dammit Sammy, can't you see he misses his boyfriend???? - "Why must the Winchesters run towards death?" I don't know Cas. I've been asking that very same question for 9 damn seasons!!!!! - Oh Sammy!!!!! :0( - And this dude is over here shucking corn lmao I fucking love Cain!!!! - YAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS DEAN!!!!!! Get it baby!!!!! That's ALL Jensen right there..... - "You're good.....but I'm Crowley." #DEAD - I love how Cain is just watching Dean whoop demon ass in the middle of his kitchen, then gets up and gets a beer, like "this is good" lmao - I'm IN LOVE with Dean's post demon slay face...... - "Because you don't give up on family, EVER" "Where's your brother now, then?" Damn Dean, you need some ice for that burn???? - "Sam, I want Gadreel to pay as much as you do, but nothing is worth losing you. Being human didn't just change my view of food. It changed my view of you. I can relate now to how you feel. The only person who has screwed things up more consistently than you, is me. And now I know what that guilt feels like, and I know what it means to feel sorry, Sam. I am sorry. You know, old me would have jammed that needle in deeper until you died, because the ends always justified the means. But, what I went through, that PB&J taught me that angels can change so, who knows, maybe Winchesters can too.” And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call character development. I'm in tears :0( - The parallels between Cain/Abel and Sam/Dean are KILLING me!!! (Fun Fact: Sam and Dean are direct descendants of Cain and Abel) - DON'T DO THE THING!!!!! I REPEAT DO NOT DO THE THING!!!!!! - DAMMIT DEAN!!!!!!! - Yep, the Mark of Cain. That sounds like an awesome thing to have. It's not like Cain did anything crazy like, I don't know, KILL HIS BROTHER, to get it. It should be fiiiiine, no consequences at all. Excellent decision Dean..... - Long overdue hug!!!! :0) - Ummmmm, so Cas is aware of how to make a woman's "nethers quiver" but he doesn't know how to hug????? - I just want Cas to hug Dean by surprise and then have Cas say
"now's the part where you hug back" and then Dean gives his throaty chuckle and hugs him back and then does his little "Alright, Alright, that's enough..." - "Your problem mate, is that nobody hates you more than you do. Believe me, I've tried." Damn!!! It's truth night for the Winchsters lol - What you mad for Dean???? You got what you wanted. Nobody told you to take that damn mark..... - Once again, Crowley LETS Dean punch him...... - Excuse me, Garth is a WHAT????????????? And there you go. I hope you guys like reading what goes through my head lol. If you follow me on twitter, (@the_queen_e is where I live tweet from, but the blog is @fangirlmindmeld) you probably saw some of these already.
