Picspam Reaction: Supernatural 6.12
Right. How do I do these things again?
Contains profanity and speculation.
Spoiler and Spec Summary
Nothing.
Well, except the title, "Like A Virgin" which links to a rumour that means along with Sam's shiny new ensouled self, this is probably the episode with the virgins disappearing and the dragon rampaging around. Kind of hoping the dragon's being set up, but probably not.
Picspam Reaction, with speculation and randomness for Supernatural 6.12 - Like A Virgin
*ignores VCR* Live reaction again some more, hope no one minds. Since it's been so long, I'm not even going to skip the previouslies.
Three, two, one, GO!
-WE HAVE MONTAGE!!! \o/ With The Road So Far, even. Hunh. First time that's been used mid-season, isn't it?
-"Back In The Saddle" by... Aerosmith? Okay... Ah. Released in 1976.
-"Don't. Scratch. The wall." Yeaaaaaaah. Love Death. *huggles*
-Considering how the last airplane on this show fared and it's showing up in the pre-titlecard sequence, flying girl, you are screwed.
-And flying guy is screwed too. Equal opportunity monster chow.
-"What was that?" Hahhahahaahha. Yeah, it's a dragon. *ticks spoiler* Hm. Guy said he wasn't expecting weather, could it be the kind of dragon that causes storms? And aren't storms considered demonic omens? So are storm-creating dragons related to demons, or do they just chase demons around and make storms. ...I have a headache now. (Lurking dragon is uncappable at this point.)
-...And it's a good thing I'm not likely to ever get on a plane again in my lifetime, because FUCKING HELL. Buses. Trains, trains are good. Yeah. Or telecommuting. O.O
-"Probably not." Well, aren't you full of sunshine and sparkles, Castiel.
-"If you wanted to kill your brother you should have done it outright." Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. OW.
-"He's never been through this." True. Was also once true of his first day of school, but I suspect that involved a little less soul-flaying.
-"Pilot was found 17 miles away, flambéed." Yeah, not looking too good for our dragon being a scapegoat.
-Written by Adam Glass, he's familiar.
-Hi Sam! Figured you'd be up and around soon, not like they'd let Jared lay around napping for the rest of the season. Buuuuut... He came to alone in the safe room, with the door open. I wonder if there's a chance this isn't Sam, but an opportunistic demon? Am I being paranoid? Maybe. Still, hosing him down with holy water couldn't hurt.
-D'AWWWWWWW PUPPY FAAAAACE!!!
-AND HUGGING!!! \o/ *waves hello to Phil Sgriccia's director credit*
-"I saw- felt Lucifer snap your neck." Okay, he remembers pre-Pit without breaching the wall, good to know.
-"You really don't remember-"/"Let's be glad!" DON'T. SCRATCH. THE WALL. Geez, Bobby!
-"How did I get back, was it Cas?"/"Not exactly."/"Dean, what did you do?" Ahahahahahahahhaha. Yeah. That's a solid chain of Winchester logic right there.
-Something really nifty about the way Dean is positioned (except for the unfortunate Hellcats on his elbow) and the framing of this shot, I'm not sure what it is. Something about the focus and lighting, and Dean in a solid shirt while Sam and Bobby are in plaids... I don't know. It's cool.
-"Why the poop-face?" *snerk* Dean is four.
-Ah, yes. Nearly getting your throat slit by your surrogate soulless son would leave a few lingering creepies. Also, concrete timeline check, 6.11 happened ten days ago!! WOO! I have no idea what month or even year it is at this point, but yay for concretely measured passage of time. That must have been a fun ten days. :-P
-"I'm sending Death a damn fruit basket." Judging from Death's eating preferences the previous times you've seen him, he might like it better if you sent him something deep-fried.
-"Right. "cause that's what you did when you got back from Hell." Heeheeheehee. Cutest little ginormous brother ever. Also very correct.
-Oh hey, another data point. Bobby and Rufus swap phone duty. I'd guess when one isn't on, the other has all their lines forwarded to the appropriate alternate lines. Yay Rufus and Bobby teamwork!
-Sam and Dean, in the Impala, music in the background, on a hunt, talking about the case. Yeah. It's a cozy place to be right here. *beams* (And yes of course it's all going to go to hell before too long no doubt but shhh. Happy place time now.)
-SUITS! Tie stripe report: very similar colours, but going opposite directions. Hmmm... BUT, currently sloping down and in towards each other. Aww. Brothery tie schmoop.
-It's the 'I don't care what the consequences are, I got Sammy back' smirk. Not terribly cappable, but here you go.
-HOLY FREAKING PINKSPLOSION. Jeez. I guess they're going the stereotypical 'virgin girls are obsessed with pink flowery fluffy things' route?
-"Big AZ" strikes me as a far-too easily mockable name for a fast food joint. Ooo, mini printer behind the laptop is nifty.
-And, since I haven't mentioned it yet, how awesome is it that they're in Portland, OR? A place Vancouver can double for without even breathing hard?
-"Did you steal that from her room?" Dean's face. THIS FACE. Forever. Oh my god how does he have this face. XD
-Oh crap. Dean and a Catholic girls school. I think I read that fic. (No, no, not that one, the one with the knitting)
-Nope, not Dean, just a dragon.
-Suits again, completely different ties. Stripes going the same way, but different colors. How many ties do they have, anyway? Is anyone still wardrobe tracking?
-Ah she's alive and still around. I'm guessing this means she's... um... not on the dragon's diet plan? And that she's got a very awkward conversation in her future.
-"Matt Barne didn't count!" Well, he apparently counts for the dragon and that just saved you from being dragon-napped (and a very particular dragon too, if it's taken her ring off, and left her alive, hmm. Well, many dragons are considered honorable. I wonder if the people it's taken are actually dead? Aside from the well-toasted pilot of course.)
-"I googled fire, claws, flying, stealing virgins and gold, and it all takes me to the same place." Gamer sites? D&D forums? Fanfic? Also, I think I see the 'legal reason' delay on this episode. Googled. Sometimes they get funny about it being used as a verb on TV, which is why a lot of TV shows use fake search engine sites instead of Google to avoid the legal crap.
-"World of Warcraft fansites." ...WHAT??? O.O OMG!! Holy crap, I was joking about gamer sites! XD Okay, maybe that's the legal delay there then.
-Bobby cooking. Ah. Brings back memories.
-"Could you make a few calls?"/"To who, Hogwarts?" We're just referencing the hell out of all geek culture ever tonight, aren't we? WOO!! HARRY POTTER!! And there's another potential legal clearing thing as J.K. Rowling can be a bit territorial, I've heard?
-It's a very nice hotel room, rustic-lite, and I kind of want that couch, even though it's orange.
-"Dad never wrote anything about dragons." Oh good. I thought for a second we were going to get a back-door support for that tie-in novel I haven't read yet because I have enough misery in my life. Also adding 'Neverending Story' to the reference total.
-"Hey, did we hunt a skinwalker lately." This is Dean's 'ohcrap' face.
-"Dr Viziak, Medieval Studies SFU." SFU??? A SHOUT-OUT TO A LOWER MAINLAND UNIVERSITY OMFG CANADIAN CONTENT!!! \o/
-Also... that was a very interesting little pause and smile after he said her name... do I detect "History" between Bobby and Dr. Viziak?
-"I'm going to San Francisco." Oh. Well I guess that makes more sense... Except the University of San Francisco is USF and San Francisco State University is SFSU according to Google. And what's wrong with calling the person instead of driving off and leaving Sam alone to possibly have a memory cascade and... ah. Never mind. It's a 'plot says you go somewhere now' trip. *nods*
-"Which says what? That they live in Middle Earth?" So many references!! And they're ones I get for a change! *rolls around in fannish glee*
-Yep, they're alive. And together. And.... a solution to their problem of their virginity being attractive to dragons springs to mind, but I doubt it'd happen at 9pm on the CW. Ahem.
-Dragon has legs. And much smaller wings than seen previously. And a face. Hunh. Ah. Mid morph. Okay, that'll save on the effects budget.
-Oooo, nice house. And evidently it's fall. Yes this was filmed in the fall most likely, but if that had been an issue for the show timeline, those leaves would have been made to disappear. ISTR they removed a foot of snow when filming Tall Tales, so clearing up some leaves would be nothing if they needed to.
-Dr Visyak. Not Viziak. *refrains from commenting about yaks*
-She looks familiar... Don't know why. She's certainly got interesting taste in tops for lounging around the house.
-"Kick him in the jewels." Ah, yes. 'History'.
-"What, no 12-sided dice joke?" POLYHEDRAL DICE!!! OMG I don't even care, I just love all the fan/geek/gamer references. Let's see, calling a dragon a large creature, a Katana or a long sword will do d12 damage, I think.
-"I have one in the basement." Okay. She's a medieval studies professor who's not incredulous at the thought of dragons actually on the rampage, and she has a kick ass house and a funky magic sword in the basement? And 'history' with Bobby. Can I adopt her as my Mary-Sue? Not that she necessarily is one, just if I were to make a Mary-Sue for this show, she'd be awfully close.
-Although I hope she's got staff for that house because cleaning those windows would be really annoying.
-AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! That would be a cast-iron bitch to get off eBay. The shipping would be ridiculous. XD
-Sound fail. Dean smacking the 'rock' sounds like fiberglass. Ooops. That's okay sound crew, you're still awesome!
-Dean steps up to the rock. Operatic Soundtrack: AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! *sporfle* I'm kind of glad that they're acknowledging through subtle self-mockery that this entire hunt is pure crack. If they were trying to take this seriously it would be a bit woeful.
-Yeah, of course it doesn't work. I recommend a pick-axe. Or grenades. Grenades are always nice.
-Oh Bobby.
-Awwww, angel-hug denied. Awww.
-"It would be awkward." Considering how many times over the past ten days Castiel probably had his arm in Sam up to his elbow groping his soul, a hug's hardly awkward. Poor Castiel. Aw.
-"To have your soul back of course." Oh crap. And an info-dump from Castiel. There we go, scratching on the wall with an angelic sledgehammer. Yeah, that was never going to last long.
-Or C4. Lacking grenades, C4 works too.
-Would you trust this man with his thumb on a detonation switch? Not so much a 'reassuring' smile as a 'hell yeah let's blow some crap up' smile there, Dean.
-Oh dear. Yes. Iron and untempered steel can shatter under the wrong kind of force, though one would think being quenched in dragon blood would help prevent that. Dean's really having no luck at all this episode.
-Dean, stealing dragon loot, like the world's tallest hobbit. To quote someone's email .sig: Though shalt not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for though art crunchy and good with ketchup.
-Does that look like a hunter's scrapbook of crazy crap to anyone else? The dragon's keeping them alive... hm. What else is he up to?
-Hark! A person in peril!
-"Where'd you get that?"/"Comic-con!" \o/ VICTORY ARMS FOREVER!!!
-Okay, so if you have a special magic one-of-a-kind melee weapon, maybe that bungee idea Chuck's fans floated back in "Real Ghostbusters" is a good idea.
-SAM'S GOT LONGER ARMS! DEAN, GET SAM! YOU CAN HOLD THE CROWBAR!
-Oh, there's two of them. Yay.
-YAY SAMMY! \o/
-Oooo. Lizardy eyes. Nifty.
-I don't know how well the cap will turn out, but Dean needs to be lit from below more often. Just saying.
-WOO! SCORE! Not many hunts come with such profitable looting opportunities. Maybe they can give the Visa and Mastercard collections departments a break for a month.
-"I feel like I got slipped the worst mickey of all time and woke up to find I'd burnt the whole city down." Yeowch. Well, Sam remembering is one character development arc that won't be getting stretched out over several episodes. Which leaves the Wall. Hehe. It all comes down to Winchesters and their walls. Eek.
-On a shallow note, now that Sam has his soul back, his hair is starting to show it. Evil and/or Soulless Sam has great hair. Can we leave his hair soulless? Just a little bit? No? Well that's okay. It's kind of cute in a proto-Lego-hair way.
-"Something I think you oughta see." Yeah, there's quite a bit of time left for this to be wrapping up just yet.
-Wahey! We have a plot-device! Made of human skin! Like all the best plot-devices! Dean is a wise looter. Get the spellbooks too.
-Purgatory, yep, hello back half of the season arc, pleased to meet you.
-"What?" Oh Dean's face. How I've missed it.
-Aw, and here I was thinking dragon man might just be misunderstood. Aaaand no. Opening gates and pitching virgins into Purgatory for fun and profit. Ah well.
-"Mother." Ooo. Ooo. Like, the mom of all the monsters. Whiiiiich according to some lore would be Lilith. Yes, that Lilith. Which could be very interesting.
-The eye-flare was red, not white, so probably not Lilith, but say hello to the big bad for the rest of the season. Mom.
-I don't know if I want to know what they needed the spare virgins for... O.o

Now you have me fixated on their ties for the rest of the season. Thank you so much for that. It kinda looked like Dean's second tie use was the tie Sam had on in the first tie scene. Maybe they don't have that many after all.
I really enjoyed this. Love the pictures to go along with the fun commentary.

I didn't realise quite how much I'd missed Soulful!Sam until this ep. And I'm glad they just didn't have Bobby up and trust him again.
But Cas should totally have given him a hug!
I'm glad they didn't drag out the "Dean lying to Sam to protect him" thing for too long. Although I suspect "The Wall" will be dragged on until, oh, I don't know, the season finale maybe...?!
no subject
Yeah, I was thinking "Mother of All" would be Lilith. Unless they really play with the mythology and make it Eve, the only other woman I can think of who could wear that title.
I want a Sam-Cas hug!

Wow! That was great that you banged a reaction out so quickly! Go you!

Bobby's reaction to Sam was close to ideal, I think. Not outright antagonistic, just wary and not trusting.
CAS NEEDS MORE HUGS!

Hmm... big lot like that, my head canon is that she lives in Marin. Also, basement. Weird. I don't think I know anyone who has an actual honest-to-god basement. Maybe she actually lives in Pacifica, which is generally more overcast and kind of hillier, and she could have a not-really-a-basement (a garage set into a hill).

ARG! can they PLEASE get an evil actress who can ENUNCIATE?! *sigh*
also if they could stop with the fight scenes in the dark so I actually didn't realize there were 2 guys until the first died but there was still a guy? that'd be awesome *more sigh*
so the thing that really made me giggle about Portland? The mention of having leverage :D (Leverage is filmed in Portland :) )
I just about broke squeeing with the 12-sided die reference :D (12-siders don't get enough love!)
the stained glass - do you think it's an art dept window or a real-world window? it looks familiar....
no subject
Not sure how much there will be of them, but I'll do what I can.
ARG! can they PLEASE get an evil actress who can ENUNCIATE?! *sigh*
This one hasn't had much of a chance to talk yet.

That's another thing I love about Macs. The display is by default brighter so it's a bit easier to see in the dark scenes. Still pretty dark in spots though.
so the thing that really made me giggle about Portland? The mention of having leverage :D (Leverage is filmed in Portland :) )
I thought that word seemed a little deliberate in delivery. :-)
I just about broke squeeing with the 12-sided die reference :D (12-siders don't get enough love!)
There aren't a lot of things that use a d12, as I recall, so they don;t get the same level of exposure as d20's d10's and d8's.
the stained glass - do you think it's an art dept window or a real-world window? it looks familiar....
Fairly certain it's a lower mainland location window, I think it was used in Smallville before, and possibly an earlier SPN episode.

I understand Bobby's reaction to Sam, but I must admit I found him to be kinda an idjit in being so obvious to Sam that he DID have a problem with him. Dean's right on one front: they have no idea how sturdy that wall is in Sam's mind.
I found the St Mary's shoutout to be funny, because we do have a St. Mary's something or other in the area here. Not directly in Portland, but in Beaverton -- which is the west side/Portland metro. I also got a squee out of the Marketplace signage, because that is downtown PDX. Yay for the local references! Although I had no idea our sewage system came with possible stashed treasure.
Hello our new Big Bad. I couldn't help thinking back to Mary Mary, Quite contrary, How does your garden grow.... I referenced that back in 4.03 but I'm thinking it may prove to be still relevent with the new matriarchial mythology. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Cool that there were those local references too. I'm always amazed by TV sewer system architecture. All those archways and things. Locally if someone wants to get into the sewer they have to dig up the street and take out the 3 foot wide pipes.
