Reaction: Supernatural 4.20 - with speculation
My brain has regenerated enough after Tax Hell Day to actually watch the episode.
(contains nonsense and profanity)
Spoiler and Theorizing Timeline
-Apr 5 Episode schedule. Title. "The Rapture" Oh. Holy. Crap. Um. Wow. If they really go there... yike. Um. Okay, so, from my ancient Sunday School knowledge (and my very devout brother-in-law who keeps trying to get me to read "Left Behind" and considers it non-fiction), the Rapture is the time when the good and pure of the earth are taken up into Heaven, starting with the spirits of the dead, so massive ghost activity, leaving the rest on earth to redeem themselves and earn a place in heaven or continue damning themselves as Hell runs roughshod over the earth. I grew up going to Sunday School, and as a kid, the Rapture scared the shit out of me. Um. Wow. I may need therapy after this one. o.O
....Aaaand because of that spoiler, I'm not going to even try watching the episode after Tax Hell Day. I'm going to sleep tonight, stay the hell away from the entire internet, and watch it tomorrow night, I hope. I think this one will need a lively brain to handle. Much as I really want to watch it.
*25 hours later* Right. Still have no brain, but I'm going to go seriously mental if I don't watch this. All systems go!
Incidentally, thank you very very much to all of you who e-mailed/PM'd me to warn me about the "Soon"!! You all rock! \o/
Reaction and Speculation for Supernatural 4.19 - "The Rapture"
Holy crap. Not what I was vaguely expecting, but... WOW. HOLY FRIGGING CRAP!!! O.O
Um. Right. Sense. Attempting to make some, considering I was so tired that I thought the tail end of 4.19 was taking the place of the "Then" and wondering what the implications of that was.
In other words, coherence content: minimal. Woo!
-MY JOYTV FEED IS BAAAAACK! Hello letter-boxing! Hello, tolerable-sized station bug! Goodbye flying green CW crap! Yay!
-*hides from the actual "Then" on the first watch-through* [*nods at the wisdom of hiding from the "Then" on the second watch-through, but waves gleefully at Chuck*]
-Fishing! Dean! Bwah! Okay, as silly as this is, I'm betting Dean dreaming about fishing is directly attributable to that photo from last week. And I bet it wouldn't stay calm and placid for long. The amount of crap the boy has running around processing in his head for anxieties and stuff? Something was gonna pop out of that lake and try to eat him. Hm. I wonder if the lake is dream-metaphor for Sam. All Dean's getting from Sam right now is walls and surfaces and Sam's not actually telling him much of anything about what's going on. So Dean fishing is Dean figuring if he is patient and uses the right bait, he can get some kind of insight into what's going on beneath Sam's surface. In which case something is definitely going to pop out of the lake and try to eat him. *nods*
-Hee! Unexpected Castiel FTW! \o/
-Oooo... who's eavesdropping on the inside of Dean's head?
-Ooo. The water shifted colour or something when Castiel left. Have to see what happened there on second watch. [Water went from golden-tone to dark like the sun went behind a cloud. That was funky. I thought for a second there might have been some big thing coming up from the deeps but not surfacing, but no.]
-Hey, upside-down Dean wake-up! That's a direct visual parallel to the first season Sam upside-down wake-up thing! Need more brain to consider the implications.
-Um. Not to beparanoid inordinately suspicious, Dean, but don't you think maybe Castiel was including Sam in the list of 'someones' who might be listening? [Actually, that's kind of reassuring. Dean doesn't think that about Sam, or he would not have automatically included him in the meet. *gets warm fuzzy, yet still paranoid, glow*]
-Nifty visual geometric things going on at the warehouse.
-"Looks like a bomb went off." Um. Oh crap! Pleasepleaseplease, no burned-in wings!!! Don't kill Castiel!! O.O
-Anna's sigil thingy, hunh? Wonder if Anna drew it. And if she didn't get pushed back and out by it, what that means about her... Hm. Anna versus Castiel maybe? And where does Zachariah fit in? [I want missing scenes!] In the meantime, hee! Cornfield!
-OMG CASTIEEEEEEEL!!! Wow. I was half expecting to see him somewhere in the wreckage but seeing him sprawled out and unconscious kicked me square in the adrenals. That was unexpected.
-Oh wow. He's the vessel! Jimmy! I like Jimmy! He seems so freaked and lost right there.
-Holy crap, Castiel's gone?? *plots bloody vengeance against Anna*
-When Castiel gets back, someone better nag him about care and maintenance of his host. Like feeding the poor guy something once in a while. Jimmy's appetite is daunting Dean there.
-Jimmy Novak, Pontiac, Illinois. Good to know. [Also, Jimmy Novak DJ. Who has a show called 4:20 Hit of the Day. ...is that a really tortured reference back to the episode number? If so, I'm blaming Edlund for it.]
-My god, I totally love Misha Collins. I can't even put it into words. I just plain can't. I have no brain. This is fantastic. I love Jimmy! I love that we're getting canon backstory for Castiel's host and I just love every little bit of all of this! *snuggles down into the backstory*
-Oh crap. I bet Lillith is in his kid.
-I agree with Sam on this discussion of what to do with Jimmy. He's a walking target and sending him home to suburbia undefended would not be a good thing at all. The demons and/or moles in the Angel network certainly don't know what the host might or might not remember. Hanging on to him as a lead, though, not so much in agreement there. Highly impractical.
-"Remember when our job was helping people." Ow. True, but ow. And oh Dean.
-*is suffused with wordless glee over the hotel room discussion between Dean, Sam and Jimmy*
-Written by Jeffery Carver, directed by Charles Beeson.
-Hee! Sleep hair. *giggles*
-Sam? Don't leave Sam. You're on watch. No no no, don't- Sam, you're a moron.
-Correction. Sam, you're an addict. Ick. I'm surprised that that blood hasn't congealed, but maybe essence of demon is an anti-clotting agent. It would explain how the sludge is still pumping around through Ruby's dead host.
-I love how Dean's all chortle-y in the morning brushing his teeth. Hey, second ep in a row for dental hygiene!
-Hee! Bus! I don't know why, but the bus makes me giggle. It looks exactly like the bus I used to ride to get home from college. Actually, considering this is probably a Vancouver greyhound or Maverick Coach, it's probably the same.
-Hand into boiling water. Wow. Random Bladerunner shout-out?? Also, that as a test of faith? Castiel's a bit of an ass. Better than getting Jimmy to do nasty things to himself with the knife though, I guess. I love the awe and wonder he has, it suits so well and just eeee!
-HA!! Unexpected Anna! Moving vehicles and surprise visits by angels do not mix. Also what the hell did you do to Castiel, Anna??!? *glowers menacingly* I know nothing, but I trust Anna about as far as I could throw her.
-"You look terrific!" Considering the last Dean saw of Anna was her about to explode in a ball of light, seeing her whole, mobile and alive would be pretty terrific. Kind of disturbed that she takes it as flirting or something, and makes me think even more that she's not on the 'up' side of things.
-Heh. Listening to the phrasing and lines from Anna here with aparanoid skeptical mindset... She is so very totally not on their side. Or Castiel's side. I think I was right about her from "Head of a Pin." Betting she's the mole, or the brains behind the mole. She's totally pumping them for info on what Castiel might have said, and whether Jimmy knows anything.
-SNOW!!! Yay for use of Vancouver's weather! \o/
-"Take the pills." I love how they're going through all the real-world consequences of someone claiming an angel is telling them to do things. Heartbreaking as it is.
-"Jimmy, you sell ad-time for AM radio" HEEE! [And once again, Jimmy Novak. No idea why he's getting a massive shout-out, but good for him]
-O.O IN HIS BLOOD????? WT serious F??? Oh. He could hear and see Castiel's true form. Ohhhh. Oh great. [...and that explains why that bit was in the Then.]
-Jimmy talking to Castiel on his front walk. You gotta wonder what his neighbors thought, or maybe he had a habit of randomly talking to Castiel out loud and they're used to it and just tune it out. Actually, it'd sound a bit like someone talking on a cell phone, only hearing one side of a conversation, or just leaving a message when Castiel wasn't answering.
-The big glowy light'll be tough to ignore... unless it's a 'angel-sighted only' spectacle.
-Holy crap, I love Misha Collins.
-"I am not your father." Ouch. Way to scar a kid for life. Castiel, dude, we need to work on your people skills.
-Homecoming, soft sad music... Ohhhh this is not going to go well.
-Hand on the railing... The kid's totally Lillith. [Heh. Man was I wrong.]
-"Heven, hell, none of that matters. The only thing that's important to me is you and Claire." Aw, family (Why hello there, major theme of the series! How ya doing?) Ohhh. This is so going to hurt when Lilith jumps out, or demons invade or anything.
-Sam, Sam, Sam. Sigh.
-Wow, those sandwiches are huge. *commences flailing all over the dinner scene*
-Ding dong. Oh crap, here we go.
-Black eyes! HA! HAHAHAHAHA! GO JIMMY!!! There is NO WAY that this can be spun so that it doesn't look bad, but good for you for losing your shit in a pro-active way. Even if no one will ever believe you aren't psychotic. *pats*
-Yay salt! HEEEE!!!
-Combat. Yep, Sam's a quart low.
-Ooo. Wife just got possessed off camera there, I bet. That was way too reminiscent of Grandpa Campbell.
-"Don't sugar-coat it Sam." Well, it is the truth, really. Better that then 'Everything will be fine in a week, two weeks, another month... etc.' Sometimes hope is better crushed.
-*flails at the Novak family scene* [Even though I know what's coming *flails again*]
-Yep, she's possessed. Ow. This kid's going to need a considerable amount of therapy if she survives.
-... you know, I'm okay with Castiel riding with the guys. Or Jimmy. Either one. There's a lot of characters I would not want joining the boys on the road, even though I love them to bits, but him I would not mind. He fits, in a spiky, Winchestery sort of way.
-"Stunt Demon #3" HEE! Interesting that Dean is not so concerned that Sam has demon-killing psychic powers and where they came from, but more concerned that Sam nearly keeled over trying to do something he used to do easily. Even if that's killing demons with the power of his mind.
-"We'll work our way through the catwalks." Gee, thanks show, I've just been earwormed by Right Said Fred.
-Oh. Oh man. This whole thing with Jimmy shouting and raging at Castiel in absentia? Oh wow. Awesome. Not very helpful in the stealth department, but still awesome. Although it'd make a hell of a distraction for whatever the boys are doing.
-...which is apparently not much. Hunh. [Unless they were setting up for... but how? Needs more brain.]
-I like the person playing Amelia as a demon. Actually I liked her playing straight too. She can come back. Except for that whole demonic death/being used as bait thing. *nods*
-Eeek! Not Jimmy!
-Angel! Yay! [Hm... you know, the more I watch this scene, the more I think the boys plan was part of this. A young girl is being menaced by a demon and they really aren't struggling that much...]
-Sam... What are you doing- Oh crap, Sam!! Oh. Ooops. Um. Way to out yourself, dude. Holy flaming fudge-puddles! Although good to know any old demon blood will do. Sam is one seriously effed-up puppy. O.o
-Dean flinches when Sam raises his hand. Oh. OW.
-Oh, whew, there's Amelia! I thought it was Jimmy's possessed wife Sam had just snacked on there. That's marginally better. I guess.
-Whoa. I can't even process how awesome the scene with Jimmy slowly dying, Castiel telling him to go to his rest and Jimmy begging and the, just the... I can't even. Just WOW. Misha Collins kicks ass. *flails*
-Also, there may not be enough therapy in the world to help Claire. Just saying.
-Ooo, nice and very subtle little bit of the last trace of the cut on Jimmy's face healing as Castiel looks back at Amelia and Claire. Also, he really does have heavenly dry cleaning, because I don't see any blood on that shirt,
-Oh. Crap. Castiel got... um. Reset. An attitude adjustment. What the hell? Who exactly pulled him back upstairs and what did they do?? Or, ooo. Or is he putting up a facade, because he knows he's being observed more closely by someone. Gnh! I need more braaaaain!!!!
-Heh.
-[Arg! No! JoyTV has dancing baloney now too. With hummingbirds. Hey,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sandrinnad can I borrow your slotted spoon and spatula?]
-Dean doesn't care? No, no, no. Something's up. [Heh, maybe he's meaning he's done being Sam's enabler? We'll see how that goes.]
-Hee! "What's going on?"/"The Apocalypse, genius." Heeeeee! Bobby's been clearing out the safe room looks like...
-OMG! It's not the apocalypse, it's a frigging intervention! BWAH!! They'll lock Sam up in the safe room while he detoxes from the demon blood! Makes total real-world logical sense, and while it's going to suck to be Sam for a while, suffering the demonic DT's (ooo, hallucinations?) no doubt, it's something they're doing to save him, not punish him! YAY!!! Except it'll totally not turn out like they expect it too, also yay! AND IT'S ALL BEING DONE GENERALLY TO TRY TO HELP SAM! \o/ I love this show! [And I want to hear Dean's phone call to Bobby!]
Again, did not see the 'Soon' (Though it went on forever and ever it seemed, I had it on mute and was keeping track of the station bug between my fingers to see when commercials took over) and thank you for the head's up!
Must sleep now, passing out at keyboard, work tomorrow (not early, yay), 13th day in a row, will fix mistakes and catch up with you all (skip=what??) later.

Iz a BAD flistie. Bad, bad, bad.
But YAY for the ep. I *heart* Jimmy. I want to wrap him in a blanket and give him soup. Does Misha have chops, or what?!
no subject
No worries, it got covered!
Iz a BAD flistie. Bad, bad, bad.
No, no, no! Not bad. :-)
But YAY for the ep. I *heart* Jimmy. I want to wrap him in a blanket and give him soup.
Oh my god, yes. Poor woobie!
Does Misha have chops, or what?!
I was astounded, and had absolutely no problem seeing Jimmy as a person rather than Misha-playing-Jimmy, if you get the distinction. That was tremendously unexpected and fantastic. \o/

Or maybe demon blood is like pig's blood? (Which, I recently learned, doesn't congeal.)
-"You look terrific!" Considering the last Dean saw of Anna was her about to explode in a ball of light, seeing her whole, mobile and alive would be pretty terrific. Kind of disturbed that she takes it as flirting or something, and makes me think even more that she's not on the 'up' side of things.
THANK YOU. I've been seeing people chortle about Dean's 'come on' (over on the TWOP boards) but I totally didn't read it as that. I haven't rewatched the episode yet, but *dude*-- it wasn't like he was leering and saying, "Hey baby, let's go have Teh Sex."
"Heven, hell, none of that matters. The only thing that's important to me is you and Claire." Aw, family (Why hello there, major theme of the series! How ya doing?)
I thought this moment was sweet the first time round, but with more thought it makes me wonder about Jimmy... I mean, he was apparently aware during the year with Castiel, right? So he knows that the APOCALYPSE IS COMING. So family? Yes, very important. 100% agreed. But Heaven and Hell? If the world ends in hellfire and such? Suggests that H/H has some rather important bearing on his own family. (I'm not sure I'm making sense.) Which, of course, ties directly into the same major theme for the whole series-- family is the most important thing EVAH-- until the only way to save it is to tear it apart...? Meep. :(
ANYWAY, glad to see you surface from Work DOOOM. :)

Really? I thought the congealing was part and parcel with the way blood works. Really though, Ruby's blood is human from the host, but spiked with demon... something.
it wasn't like he was leering and saying, "Hey baby, let's go have Teh Sex."
It really wasn't at all. He kind of took the comment from her with a 'yeah okay' shrug, but it did not sound like that was the original intent at all. I felt like telling Anna to get over herself.
So he knows that the APOCALYPSE IS COMING. So family? Yes, very important. 100% agreed. But Heaven and Hell? If the world ends in hellfire and such? Suggests that H/H has some rather important bearing on his own family.
Yeah, but I read it as kind of like those movies where there's a big comet/alien invasion/unstoppable death thing coming to toast Planet Earth and the powers that be want to suppress the news because they think there's nothing anyone can do and just want people to live out what's left of their lives happy and unknowing. Or like someone who doesn't tell anyone they have a terminal illness because they don't want to be treated differently and don't want to cause anyone pain before they die. I think Jimmy's kind of hoping to sink back into normal and family and get in as much denial as he can before the end.
Also there's the whole 'his family thinks he's been insane and possibly dead for a year' thing, so coming home and immediately yabbering about the imminent apocalypse, not a good idea to regain trust. :-)

Yeah, turns out this is why they used pig's blood for special effects on the renaissance stage.
Really though, Ruby's blood is human from the host, but spiked with demon... something.
Yeah, I know. But given my ever-growing distaste for Ruby, I kind of liked the idea of her blood being a pig's. But I actually really like pigs, so never mind. :)
Also, I'm glad you referred to her host body as dead. I mean, she may have been keeping it alive (and I suppose must still be pushing blood around within it/making more blood for Sam-suckage) but even if you could make the argument that the body was alive when Ruby took it over, I don't see how it could still be after Ruby left the body with Anna (and took over the maid's body) in "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (or "Heaven and Hell"-- the two blend together. But I'm pretty sure I mean "IKWYDLS"). It's a small enough distinction, I guess, but relevant to me because it seems Show was trying to make it okay-ish that Sam was sleeping with a demon in a still living but not hijacked body.
And I read Jimmy's home-coming the same way, more or less, but it's still short-sighted. Fair point about the crazy and lack of trust, though!! (Of course, as soon as Jimmy said he was crying because he was so happy, anyone who watches this show knew that the very next thing that happened would be BAD, so it all quickly became oh so irrelevant.)

HAhaha! When DEAN is freaked by your eating habits, you know there's something wrong!
Oh crap. I bet Lillith is in his kid.
Omg I'm not the only one who thought so?? YAY! Cuz you know, the daughter WAS a blonde and Lilith has thing thing for blondes, so that threw me off right up until the kid actually whipped out some angel kungfu.
[And I want to hear Dean's phone call to Bobby!]
YES, YES, A MILLION TIMES YES! I really want to know what Dean had to say to convince Bobby to LOCK SAM UP, and I can't wait to see how they're going to react once they see how terrible it will most likely be for Sam (going cold turkey CAN'T be pleasent!). Poor Sammy, he's probably still kicking at the door like a puppy trying to get out of it's cage. D: Sam and Dean will most certainly have to talk about this... unfortunate predicament in the next episode, RIGHT? FINALLY! Some talking between those two! Although I can't imagine it'll go over very well...

I suspect that was deliberate misdirection onf Kripke and co's part, that.

Probably for very loud, shouty values of 'talk'

Isn't it illegal to work 13 days in a row? I'd say you have an obligation to call in sick tomorrow. ;)

I know, that was dissapointing.

Technically, I guess it is, but it's a tax season thing. No one is working tomorrow, so yay!

The effects of sleep deprivation...
(Anonymous) 2009-05-04 02:07 am (UTC)(link)Poor Castiel, he seemed to get the idea of having a father earlier - why would he think Jimmy could ever allow his daughter to go though what he did? Well at least we know Jimmy goes to heaven should he manage not to be completely annihilated in the apocalypse. I am more worried about boss angel Z then Anna, something about an angel selling fornicating as a perk just seems off. Not because I see angels as prudes or anything. I put Dean's recreational activities to being a major exponent of free love rather than womanizing. Also I trust Dean's instincts in this regard, if Dean has sex with a girl that girl is okay even if she is a fallen angel. Dean has never been tricked into manipulative "evil" sex. He was even able to resist Lust incarnate. Also, the siren knew it was a waste of time to tempt Dean with sex. Sadly the same cannot be said about little brother. Personally I am hoping Sam's experiment with demonic necrophilia was an one time thing due to temporary drunken grief stricken insanity.

"Sam? Don't leave Sam. You're on watch. No no no, don't- Sam, you're a moron."
Um. yes. But I found it more disturbing why Dean, the supposed superhunter who sleeps with a knife under his pillow (or does he not do that anymore?) wouldn't be able to hear BOTH Sam and JIMMY (a civilian) leave the motel. Hell, even I wake up at the sound of a door opening.
"I am not your father."
Heh. I just got a Stars Wars flashback.
"You look terrific!" Considering the last Dean saw of Anna was her about to explode in a ball of light, seeing her whole, mobile and alive would be pretty terrific. Kind of disturbed that she takes it as flirting or something, and makes me think even more that she's not on the 'up' side of things."
*whistles* Yeeeeah...it kinda struck me as weirdly innapropriate flirting as well :P But mainly because I can't get past my initial Dean/ Anna squick factor. Like, no offense, she's cute... but NO. Oh, and *random*... will have to watch that scene again, but it almost looked like Anna had a bandage or something on the left side of her neck *squints*
"OMG! It's not the apocalypse, it's a frigging intervention! BWAH!!"
Dude, I was so excited when they did that. FINALLY! Go dry Sam out and get our boys back to normal so they can go back to hunting some crap together (starting with Ruby....)

Ohhh, absolutely. As we've seen a few times before, with Dream a Little Dream, etc.
But I found it more disturbing why Dean, the supposed superhunter who sleeps with a knife under his pillow (or does he not do that anymore?) wouldn't be able to hear BOTH Sam and JIMMY (a civilian) leave the motel.
Good point. Hm. I'm thinking because he knows Sam's on watch and he still trusts him enough to completely sack out, or because Dean actually does want Jimmy to escape and get back to his family, and is willing to play 'possum to let that happen.
But mainly because I can't get past my initial Dean/ Anna squick factor. Like, no offense, she's cute... but NO.
I didn't get an emotional read of lustful from Dean on that delivery, more of relieved, but I'm kind of 'flirting blind' quite often. :-)
Oh, and *random*... will have to watch that scene again, but it almost looked like Anna had a bandage or something on the left side of her neck *squints*
I missed that, will have to check too.

Yes! And it's all from the standpoint of being worried about Sam and wanting to help him.
