Picspam Reaction: Supernatural 7.09
Contains profanity, capslock, meta and speculation.
Spoiler and Theory Summary
No spoilers. \o/
....but this is the episode before a one-week gap, I believe, so I'm thinking there's going to be either a bombshell or a set up for a bombshell. I'm thinking it's about time we had a nibble or two on the Castiel line, since I believe this lump of tan something...
...on the right hand side in the trunk of the Challenger is Castiel's trenchcoat.
Sneaky sneaky show, keeping the hope alive.
Afterwards, ETA: Or in some cases, not so much. O.O
Picspam Reaction, with speculation and randomness for Supernatural 7.09 -??? "How To Win Friends And Influence Monsters"
-Skipping the THEN, getting more tea.
-Helloooo monster-cam! long time no see!
-The Pine Barrens, New Jersey... OMG, is it the Jersey Devil??? Cooool. Let's see what they do with it.
-Aren't these people supposed to be camping? My apartment is less well-furnished than their tent-trailer or whatever this is. :-P
-"This is Nature Sounds." BWAHAHAHAAH. Okay, yeah. These guys are practically asking to get eaten. Dude is a heavy sleeper though, not to wake up while getting hauled up into a tree.
-Bwahahahaahah. Title.
-Cool to see them setting up in an abandoned house. Hotels get expensive, even with a fraudulent credit card, (not that I'd know personally) and since Leviathans are tracking all their old aliases and they've been issued the very sensible edict of cash only to avoid getting traced, I see a lot of abandoned house-squatting in the boys' future. (Yes, "boys'" includes Bobby. I don't care how much older than me he is, he's one of the boys.)
-*blocks guest names*
-Aw, Dean with the cold everything. Poor wubby. *wraps in a blanket and feeds him soup* And he looks so like wee!Dean there. Aw.
-"We're on our third 'the world's screwed' issue in what, three years?" Heeeeeeeee, Dean's metaing.
-"Stop tryin' to wrestle with the big picture, son, you're gonna hurt your head." Heeeeee.
-Yay! Jersey Devil! The artist's rendition seems a bit cave-troll inspired, but that's okay. Traditionally it's a bit more 'stretched-out goat with wings' and a little less 'WWF: Extreme Middle-Earth Smackdown' but it's all good.
-Written by Ben Edlund. With the Jersey Devil? Oh this should be loaded with crack.
-"Oh yeah, a horse's head." Goat, but whatever. That's the usual picture. Also, Sam's member name at "Open minds to Deeper Knowledge" is 'quester'. (Wasn't that the name of the elf in the 80's video game called Gauntlet? And has he used that before?) Also, they might be saving money on hotel rooms but they are spending it like water on colour printing.
-Directed by Guy Bee. *nods*
-Yeeaaaaah. Edlund.
-HIIIII BIGGERSON'S, HIIII! *waves at the screen at the fictional restaurant like a total psycho*
-Tie report. Blue-grey with compound silvery stripes going down to Sam's left on Sam, Deep red with blue stripes going down to Dean's right on Dean. Pretty opposite as far as ties go, but they've got some issues to work out yet so that's to be expected. The way they are seated right now also has the slopes going down towards the middle which always feels more working-togethery to me, even while they're at odds. Also, I don't know whether Dean's got a new suit-jacket, but he's looking exceptionally broad-shouldered this evening.
-"The human burrito!" He's got a rather unusual amount of glee for someone who found a messy corpse. Hm. Could be he's just soaking up all the media attention he can get and being glad people are talking to him instead of being stuck out in a remote ranger station. Any bets on whether he's the next victim? Yeah, that's what I thought too.
-"Come to think of it, I haven't seen Phil in a couple days." *facepalm* Yeah. When a marauding whatsis is out eating anything with a heartbeat, keeping track of your only co-worker in a remote location might be a good idea.
-"I should probably report that." Yes. Yes you should. Yeesh.
-BOBBY INNA TRENCHCOAT!!! \o/ If this were a drinking game, that'd be worth a bottle.
-So much love for Bobby eliminating three types of monster based on the leftovers, including name-tagging Wendigos and werewolves, which we haven't heard from for a while. NOW. BOBBY tie report. Dark brown with itty-bitty lighter spots. The boys' ties might be in dispute, but Bobby's is remaining neutral and not taking sides. A very wise tie.
-"Do I look lie a freakin' hostess?" YES! Finally, a server who's not freakishly perky or social! A bit far along the opposite end of the spectrum, but hey, the show has some pretty severe happy, smiling drones to balance out. Yay Brandon, I hope you aren't the monster (so of course you will be)! \o/
-"I sure hope we don't get Brandon's section." And their reactions are just, Hee! Oh my god, I love this show.
-Big Bird, Ken Doll and Creepy Uncle. BIG BIRD, KEN DOLL AND CREEPY UNCLE. You know, I think back in the waybacks before I became enlightened to the awesomeness of Bobby, I mentioned somewhere that he reminded me of a creepy uncle, but as I say, I was unenlightened at the time. That said, Brandon really doesn't give a crap about his tip. XD
-18%? Wow. Either Sam's a great tipper or someone changed the percentages and didn't tell me.
-Bobby. Chopsticks. Oh my god, it's like I don't even know him, all these hidden depths keep showing up.
-"Birds shoved up inside each other." "Chinese chicken geezer salad." "Perfect storm of your top three edible birds." I'm just going to sit here and wheeze through this entire scene, okay?
-No shock Brandon quitting there, and based on the snippet of conversation, I won't be too heartbroken if he gets eaten, or turns out to be the monster and gets shot.
-Ah, lovely scenery in these woods. Boys with long-guns.
-And again, Bobby busting out some mundane hunting knowledge. Unseen depths, seriously.
-"You used to take us hunting, remember?" OMG SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! *FLAILFLAILFLAIL* OMG BOBBY AND WEECHESTERS OMG *FLAIL*. ...Ahem. Sorry, just... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
-Hmm. Bobby is wearing a very notably blue hat, considering everything else everyone is wearing is nature-toned. Well, I guess they're wearing jeans that are blue too, but I don't know, it's quite blatant in its blue-ness. That looks like a hat fraught with significance. *nods*
-"You don't shoot Bambi, jackass. You shoot Bambi's mother." Oh my goodness that is an epic Sammy bitchface right there. Hee! Well-deserved too, considering the Mom issues.
-"Hey. I think we found Phil." Okay, this guy is definitely way too calm.
-"Ranger, I think we've got company."/"Yeah? Who's that?" Born monster chow, this one.
-"RANGER EVANS!" Helloooooooo bellowing Sammy. Haven't seen you in a while. Don't be such a stranger.
-"Shut up, shut off and listen." ...as the sound effects crew goes to town! Can't cap a sound effect but have a Dean reaction face! \o/
-"Man, I liked Rick." Somehow, not surprised.
-DUDE!!! BOBBY WITH THE ZEN ARCHERY! I mean rifle! BOBBY WITH THE ZEN RIFLE!!! Firing without seeing! WOO! AWESOMENESS COMPOUNDED! \o/
-And this is, I believe, an effective demonstration of the term 'pwned.' 'Chinese chicken geezer salad' that, Dean. *hi fives Bobby* WOOOOOOOO!!! \o/
-"Not even a silver bullet, just a bullet bullet." *checks counter* Yeah, that's not gonna take. Or there's more than one.
-Ahahahahahahaha! Yeah. No, it didn't take. XD
-So, becoming a Jersey Devil or whatever ramps the metabolism off the charts, kind of like a Wendigo, I guess, so that explains how five-nine and nothing guy here manages to eat his body-weight in human without it showing. Hummingbird metabolism of a sort. *nods and handwaves the several dozen pounds of undigestible fibers, bones, metal and plastic clothing bits, jewelry, fillings etc the guy also inhales with the rest of the body that have to go somewhere*
-Hey, I wonder if anyone aware of creatures like that goes around looking for manure piles full of gold fillings and jewelry. Ew, ew, ew, ew, sorry.
-Tonight on Supernatural, Amateur Monster Autopsy! I really have to admit, I like that they're getting all sciencey-researchy-lab projecty about this. Practical. Also that ooze looked a little like Leviathan goop, only lighter, so yeah, something to check out.
-At some point in time, something with claws nearly got Bobby's notably blue hat. Seriously, that thing is giving me "fraught with significance" vibes... *is nervous*
-"You guys getting hungry?" ...Okay... is Dean... infected by this stuff or something? Or just being very intensely Dean. Maybe that Turducken burger was a trap...
-*skips over soooo many things* Those are some freaking huge adrenal glands. In other news, distressed!amateur!Coroner Sam is pretty.
-"It's not the Jersey Devil, but it sure as hell ain't Gerald Brouder anymore." Well, yeah, he's a bit far off the lore. This reeeeeally doesn't bode well for Dean. Aw. and they're using a Biggerson's as a vector for monsterizing people? But nothing bad ever happens at Biggerson's! ...except that whole Famine killing everyone thing. And Bela stealing the rabbit's foot... yeah, okay, so Biggerson's is a bit of a trouble magnet.
-Aaaaand another Turducken burger for Dean. Oh dear.
-Dean: *makes random monstery growly noise while eating* Me: *laughs up a lung* I can't cap his face! It's too blurry! Cutest "turning slowly into a monster that will eat everything" face ever!
-*laughs up the other lung* "Is that right? do rat's shake their ass or is it somethin' else?" Oh sleepy food-stoned monster-turning Dean is too adorable for his own good.
-BIGGERSON'S TIN FOIL SWAN CONTINUITY OMFG!!!!! XD
-"Cas, black goo, I don't even care anymore. And you know what's even better? I don't care that I don't care." Yeaaaah, you're just fine, Dean. Now somebody restrain him before he starts biting people?
-Dean: *uncappable headbobble* Me: *dies of snerk* I really needed silly. Thank you, Show.
-Aughhhhhhh. Reminds me of the lunches at the high school cafeteria. Particularly that one day they tried to make Cornish pasties. Just one day. Never again.
-"I think you pissed off my sandwich." *headdesk* BWAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Also, add another scene to the 'stuff to watch while dieting' list. Add the whole episode actually.
-"Whatever turned Gary Brouder into a pumpkin head, and is currently turning Dean into an idiot-"/"I'm here. Right here." *laughs and laughs*
-"If I wasn't so chilled out right now, I would puke." Is it terribly wrong of me to say that I love stoned!Dean and wish we could get more of him? Though, you know, turning into a murdery monster is not a good thing, and Sam very obviously doesn't agree with me.
-"Aren't you full up playin' Snuffalupagus with the Devil?" *grins all over everything*
-"Seein' Lucifer's fine with me."/"Come again?" Oh really?
-"At least all my crazy's under one umbrella." Okay. Feeling slightly reassured about Sam being so calm. But still...
-"You always were one deep little sonofabitch." Hee. I could just flail endlessly over the Bobby-and-boys backstory and dynamics coming out tonight. Also, it's making me a wee bit nervous. *eyes the hat*
-What colour is Ms. Imminent Monster Chow's hair? Whatever that's called, I really like it. Kind of unique, and suits her.
-Hi uncappable attack!Brandon! Shouldn't have had the free Turducken sandwich at work. Also, if you plan on stalking your meals from now until you die, you should ditch the glowy flashy things on your suspenders. Not good for stealth, although our interesting-haired target of the evening seems to have looked right at you and missed it.
-Hello mysterious booted person with... Jersey plates which is where we are, so no hint there. Edgar maybe?
-Yep! Hi Edgar!
-Nice when the Person in peril/Monster of the week comes with flashing lights and a name-tag.
-"What the hell is going on?" Leviathans are plotting, yay! Why kill everyone yourselves when you can make them kill each other? The boys are so used to dealing with straight-up in your face monsters that a monster with a strategy throws them a massive curve ball. They have some serious catching up to do.
-Hi Leviadoc! Ah ha! And they had a hospital taken over, so the whole biowarfare development division had a launching point and the Winchesters are so screwed! It's so good to see a genuine challenge or them.
-"Burn them." *shudders* Edgar is a scary bastard. O.O
-Okay, so the goal wasn't to turn humans into out of control murdery monsters... Hm.... What was the goal then...? Just gotta say, I love this! Strategy and labs and organization and all that stuff, and we're getting glimpses of what they're doing without being told what they're doing and the Winchesters are totally unprepared for any of it and it's GREAT!!! \o/
-"Dick's coming."/"Burn them." Eeeeeek. O.O
-"Inbetween that and the 20 cups of coffee I'm nicely tense and alarmed." Yeah, ain't it great! \o/
-"Don't go all Sigmund Freud on me, I just got drugged by a sandwich." HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
-*nods through conversation* Yep. Burnout. Grief-related, saving the world over and over related, wondering if your little brother's going to go psycho related burnout. He's only about 20 years overdue, I think he's done pretty good to keep it as together as he has until now.
-"You're not a person."/"Thanks." Smirky-face Dean. That is all.
-"I been to enough funerals, I mean it." Oh Bobby. *smishes*
-"You die before me and I'll kill ya." OH BOBBEEEEEEEEEE!!!! *SMISHES* (Though really he probably should have said "You die before me again some more and I'll kill ya." Accuracy is important. *nods*)
-Chin wibbles! DEAN HAD CHIN WIBBLES! Yes they were hesitating before speaking wibbles instead of anything else, but those were wibbles! Even though they don't show in the cap.
-"Well I'll be a squirrel in a skirt." I was going to say 'Aunt Slappy?' (from Animaniacs) but she just had a hat and a handbag.
-Someone in the "making titles for fake news coverage" department is twelve I see. XD Also, Evil Tie Report, big evil Dick is still rocking the mutant paisley tie of evil. Consistency. Evil consistency. *nods*
-HAHAHAHAHA, oh I'm sorry, I really truly am, but oh god the Photoshop, it burns. That last one's not too bad except for that bit of missing 'e' by Dick's ear that makes me wonder if they aren't deliberately making these manips look odd, but still. XD
-Yep, Dick Roman's a big shot. In short, he's well-placed to fund and/or take over any assets or infrastructure they might need and capable of having a significant amount of personal defense, and the Leviathans have him. THIS IS HOW THE DEMONS SHOULD HAVE DONE THINGS. But, chaotic evil versus lawful evil. Or backstabbing selfish evil versus team-playing smart evil. Either way, it's an excellent strategic move, and the boys are totally screwed. Especially since they are sitting in the van next to the evil turducken factory watching documentaries on YouTube.
-"It'll pick up vocal vibrations from window glass at half a mile." TOOOYYYYYYYYYS!!!!! *grabby hands*
-"Now what can you tell me about your failures?" HEHEHEHE. Yeah. Because it's experimental, and the failures are as useful as the successes, and there are always failures. Edgar might be a ruthless bastard, but he's not an experimental scientist. Don't burn the failures, save them for research and analysis.
-Also, Evil Tie 2, same mutant paisley pattern, different colour. Did wardrobe get all the ties with that pattern or what? And if they did, that means the ties are planned you guys! :-O
-Yep, a catchy headline will get noticed all right.
-"I want to turn this mistake into a big fat teachable moment. Will you help me with that?"/"Well, yeah!" And that's when Leviadoc gets eaten as an example to the others not to cover up test results and not to let testing outside of lab conditions until the margin for error is a bit more locked down, right?
-I don't know why, but super-spy-gear Bobby lurking on a roof with binoculars does things to me. I'm not sure what things. Just things. Good things.
-"The golden rule is there's no such thing as monsters. Anything stirs their little pots to the contrary very bad for our plans." Oh reeeeeeally. So, uh, does this mean that the best way to stop the Leviathans is for Sam, Dean, Bobby and every other hunter to out themselves and the things they hunt in as widespread a manner as possible? Because that could be one hell of a lot of fun.
-"I will give anything to make this right."/"I know you will." And he gets eaten now, yeah? Or messily slaughtered.
-"You're bibbing me?" AHahhahahahaha. Oh Edlund. XD
-"Now I have officially seen it all." Ooooooor they'll make him eat himself. Ew. ...How does that work. Does that send him back to Purgatory? Do they each have a little dimensional rift in them? Or... I don't know if I want to ponder the other options. O.o
-OH CRAP! BOBBYYYYY! When you're lurking around and focusing on what you're spying on, don't forget to keep an eye out and keep hidden! ACK! O.O
-"There are at least four Leviathans out there, we don't even know how to kill one." Yes you do! Though if this is a Leviathan building and they haven't told their cleaning crews 'absolutely no Borax'... hey... The Leviathans don't know about it do they? Leviachef didn't... did they find out about it after the police station? If two of their own got melted, they should have at least dragged the remains back to the lab to figure out why. Hmm. In any case, convenient cleaning van. Oh and Sam, Dean, Bobby? WHY DO YOU NOT HAVE BORAX SUPER-SOAKERS YET??? Seriously!
-"I imagine you appreciate guns."/"I'd appreciate one right about now." So much love for the Bobby versus Dick snark-off type-thing.
-"I clearly ain't worth the extra time I'm getting here." Oh Bobby. Oh god, I bet you're being used as bait. O.O
-You know, for a guy who's full of evil black goop from the dawn of time? Dick Roman's kind of hot.
-"I bet your friends are on the way to rescue the damsel." And such a fetching damsel he is. *scritches his adorably scruffy beard*
-"Naw, they're too smart. They know they don't have the numbers. It'd be suicide. I've run my race." HA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. HA. Smart doesn't enter into it, dude. You're one of their few friends, not to mention their best friend, really, and their surrogate father-figure. They can't not rescue you, no matter how inadvisable it is.
-"Could die worse." Yeah, I suppose getting eaten is quick at least... unless they make a copy. And send it along with the boys. And make you watch. And then eat you. Buuuut then you can haunt the hell out of them and try to warn Sam and Dean and BOBBY IS TOTALLY NOT GOING TO DIE HERE, RIGHT GUYS???? That blue hat is suddenly making me very, very, very nervous. O.O
-Yay! Spray things of Borax! TAKE THEM WITH YOU FOR NEXT TIME.
-Also machetes would be good. Head chopping and taking along in a bag would be handy instead of just temporarily inconveniencing them.
-Yes Bobby, the halls are alive with the sound of dumbass Winchesters coming to rescue you, just like they have to, because they're awesome and you're awesome, and you'd do the same for them, no matter how stupid and inadvisable and "oh golly let's walk straight into this trap" it is.
-Fortunately, Dick Roman is having a moment of poor tactics and leaving the stronghold room where he has a handy hostage and some weapons to check out his dying underlings. Unless it's not a tactical gaffe and Bobby's already a Leviathan. Eeek. O.O
-Nope! GO ACTION BOBBY!!! \o/
-Oh crap. Bobby's hyperventilating about something he's reading. EEK! Also JUST TAKE THE FILES! Or is that a trap too. Leave the captive in the room with the obvious Briefcase O' Plans and have him snoop it and escape, when the briefcase is 100% full of disinformation. Crap. It's what I'd do if I were the mean GM at this moment. *flails*
-Right, fine, you're gonna show me plans and maps Bobby's hyperventilating over, I'm gonna cap them and true to figure them out. Looks like wiring schematics and the map has... *pulls up Google maps* Toledo, Ohio, where Kripke is from and, hehe. Madison, Wisconsin. I think there's a fan or two in that area, maybe? ;-D So, wiring diagrams, Madison and Toledo. Assuming this isn't all disinformation, I have no idea what's alarming Bobby.
-Marching up to the door of the room you are being held captive in and opening it without even checking for a guard, not so smart. Bobby must be really rattled. Or more used to the direct in your face approach. Which gets him a fist directly in the face.
-She's like the liquid metal Terminator! Hee!
-Whoa, special effects and CGI got to play with the wounds. *rolls it back and watches Dick's eye grow back in a few times* Awesome!
-*watches the entire Action!Bobby escapes with the boys scene a few times over* GLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! \o/
-"Hey Bobby. Your hat."
...
.....
OH MY GOD WHAT???
I KNEW IT, I FRIGGING KNEW THAT BLOODY HAT WAS SIGNIFICANT, SON OF A BITCH, BOBBY'S STILL STUCK WITH THE LEVIATHANS, OR, CRAP, WAS THAT BOBBY? MAYBE IT'S A DEEP SLEEPER AGENT. HE HAD HIS HAT!!! HE DID! AND HE WAS DOING SPY THINGS! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! WHAT'S GOING ON? *FLAILS EVERYWHERE*
OH MY GOD BOBBYYYYYYYYY!!!!
*hyperventilates* O.O
-But... Oh god. There's... It's not... Oh...
And suddenly everything is so very much worse.
-"BOBBY!"
Oh god. D-:
Soooooo, I'm just going to sit here meeping in the dark and really hoping for a skull graze. Which, you know, puts Bobby in a coma and makes him unable to deliver the plot until an appropriately dramatic juncture, since neither of these guys are going to think to use Dreamroot, ever, and Bobby will eventually be fine and dandy (or maybe come out of it blind since they showed us his mad Zen Rifle/'shoot you through the trees in the dark with my eyes closed' skillz) and stuff, yep, it's just a graze or a fracture and a coma for an appropriately dramatic length of time, even though he did have a heart-to-heart with both Winchester boys this episode and that totally doesn't matter because BOBBY IS NOT DEAD NOT DEAD NOT DEAD SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP LALALALALALALA.
AND NOW WE HAVE TO WAIT TWO WEEKS TO SEE THAT BOBBY IS PERFECTLY FINE AND DANDY.
CURSE YOU, EDLUND!!! O.O DDD-:
*all the wibbles*

-So, becoming a Jersey Devil or whatever ramps the metabolism off the charts, kind of like a Wendigo, I guess, so that explains how five-nine and nothing guy here manages to eat his body-weight in human without it showing. Hummingbird metabolism of a sort. *nods and handwaves the several dozen pounds of undigestible fibers, bones, metal and plastic clothing bits, jewelry, fillings etc the guy also inhales with the rest of the body that have to go somewhere*

-Tonight on Supernatural, Amateur Monster Autopsy! I really have to admit, I like that they're getting all sciencey-researchy-lab projecty about this. Practical. Also that ooze looked a little like Leviathan goop, only lighter, so yeah, something to check out.
-At some point in time, something with claws nearly got Bobby's notably blue hat. Seriously, that thing is giving me "fraught with significance" vibes... *is nervous*
-"You guys getting hungry?" ...Okay... is Dean... infected by this stuff or something? Or just being very intensely Dean. Maybe that Turducken burger was a trap...
-*skips over soooo many things* Those are some freaking huge adrenal glands. In other news, distressed!amateur!Coroner Sam is pretty.
-"It's not the Jersey Devil, but it sure as hell ain't Gerald Brouder anymore." Well, yeah, he's a bit far off the lore. This reeeeeally doesn't bode well for Dean. Aw. and they're using a Biggerson's as a vector for monsterizing people? But nothing bad ever happens at Biggerson's! ...except that whole Famine killing everyone thing. And Bela stealing the rabbit's foot... yeah, okay, so Biggerson's is a bit of a trouble magnet.
-Aaaaand another Turducken burger for Dean. Oh dear.
-Dean: *makes random monstery growly noise while eating* Me: *laughs up a lung* I can't cap his face! It's too blurry! Cutest "turning slowly into a monster that will eat everything" face ever!
-*laughs up the other lung* "Is that right? do rat's shake their ass or is it somethin' else?" Oh sleepy food-stoned monster-turning Dean is too adorable for his own good.
-BIGGERSON'S TIN FOIL SWAN CONTINUITY OMFG!!!!! XD
-"Cas, black goo, I don't even care anymore. And you know what's even better? I don't care that I don't care." Yeaaaah, you're just fine, Dean. Now somebody restrain him before he starts biting people?
-Dean: *uncappable headbobble* Me: *dies of snerk* I really needed silly. Thank you, Show.
-Aughhhhhhh. Reminds me of the lunches at the high school cafeteria. Particularly that one day they tried to make Cornish pasties. Just one day. Never again.
-"I think you pissed off my sandwich." *headdesk* BWAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Also, add another scene to the 'stuff to watch while dieting' list. Add the whole episode actually.
-"Whatever turned Gary Brouder into a pumpkin head, and is currently turning Dean into an idiot-"/"I'm here. Right here." *laughs and laughs*
-"If I wasn't so chilled out right now, I would puke." Is it terribly wrong of me to say that I love stoned!Dean and wish we could get more of him? Though, you know, turning into a murdery monster is not a good thing, and Sam very obviously doesn't agree with me.
-"Aren't you full up playin' Snuffalupagus with the Devil?" *grins all over everything*
-"Seein' Lucifer's fine with me."/"Come again?" Oh really?
-"At least all my crazy's under one umbrella." Okay. Feeling slightly reassured about Sam being so calm. But still...
-"You always were one deep little sonofabitch." Hee. I could just flail endlessly over the Bobby-and-boys backstory and dynamics coming out tonight. Also, it's making me a wee bit nervous. *eyes the hat*
-What colour is Ms. Imminent Monster Chow's hair? Whatever that's called, I really like it. Kind of unique, and suits her.
-Hi uncappable attack!Brandon! Shouldn't have had the free Turducken sandwich at work. Also, if you plan on stalking your meals from now until you die, you should ditch the glowy flashy things on your suspenders. Not good for stealth, although our interesting-haired target of the evening seems to have looked right at you and missed it.
-Hello mysterious booted person with... Jersey plates which is where we are, so no hint there. Edgar maybe?
-Yep! Hi Edgar!
-Nice when the Person in peril/Monster of the week comes with flashing lights and a name-tag.
-"What the hell is going on?" Leviathans are plotting, yay! Why kill everyone yourselves when you can make them kill each other? The boys are so used to dealing with straight-up in your face monsters that a monster with a strategy throws them a massive curve ball. They have some serious catching up to do.
-Hi Leviadoc! Ah ha! And they had a hospital taken over, so the whole biowarfare development division had a launching point and the Winchesters are so screwed! It's so good to see a genuine challenge or them.
-"Burn them." *shudders* Edgar is a scary bastard. O.O
-Okay, so the goal wasn't to turn humans into out of control murdery monsters... Hm.... What was the goal then...? Just gotta say, I love this! Strategy and labs and organization and all that stuff, and we're getting glimpses of what they're doing without being told what they're doing and the Winchesters are totally unprepared for any of it and it's GREAT!!! \o/
-"Dick's coming."/"Burn them." Eeeeeek. O.O
-"Inbetween that and the 20 cups of coffee I'm nicely tense and alarmed." Yeah, ain't it great! \o/
-"Don't go all Sigmund Freud on me, I just got drugged by a sandwich." HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
-*nods through conversation* Yep. Burnout. Grief-related, saving the world over and over related, wondering if your little brother's going to go psycho related burnout. He's only about 20 years overdue, I think he's done pretty good to keep it as together as he has until now.
-"You're not a person."/"Thanks." Smirky-face Dean. That is all.
-"I been to enough funerals, I mean it." Oh Bobby. *smishes*
-"You die before me and I'll kill ya." OH BOBBEEEEEEEEEE!!!! *SMISHES* (Though really he probably should have said "You die before me again some more and I'll kill ya." Accuracy is important. *nods*)
-Chin wibbles! DEAN HAD CHIN WIBBLES! Yes they were hesitating before speaking wibbles instead of anything else, but those were wibbles! Even though they don't show in the cap.
-"Well I'll be a squirrel in a skirt." I was going to say 'Aunt Slappy?' (from Animaniacs) but she just had a hat and a handbag.
-Someone in the "making titles for fake news coverage" department is twelve I see. XD Also, Evil Tie Report, big evil Dick is still rocking the mutant paisley tie of evil. Consistency. Evil consistency. *nods*
-HAHAHAHAHA, oh I'm sorry, I really truly am, but oh god the Photoshop, it burns. That last one's not too bad except for that bit of missing 'e' by Dick's ear that makes me wonder if they aren't deliberately making these manips look odd, but still. XD
-Yep, Dick Roman's a big shot. In short, he's well-placed to fund and/or take over any assets or infrastructure they might need and capable of having a significant amount of personal defense, and the Leviathans have him. THIS IS HOW THE DEMONS SHOULD HAVE DONE THINGS. But, chaotic evil versus lawful evil. Or backstabbing selfish evil versus team-playing smart evil. Either way, it's an excellent strategic move, and the boys are totally screwed. Especially since they are sitting in the van next to the evil turducken factory watching documentaries on YouTube.
-"It'll pick up vocal vibrations from window glass at half a mile." TOOOYYYYYYYYYS!!!!! *grabby hands*
-"Now what can you tell me about your failures?" HEHEHEHE. Yeah. Because it's experimental, and the failures are as useful as the successes, and there are always failures. Edgar might be a ruthless bastard, but he's not an experimental scientist. Don't burn the failures, save them for research and analysis.
-Also, Evil Tie 2, same mutant paisley pattern, different colour. Did wardrobe get all the ties with that pattern or what? And if they did, that means the ties are planned you guys! :-O
-Yep, a catchy headline will get noticed all right.
-"I want to turn this mistake into a big fat teachable moment. Will you help me with that?"/"Well, yeah!" And that's when Leviadoc gets eaten as an example to the others not to cover up test results and not to let testing outside of lab conditions until the margin for error is a bit more locked down, right?
-I don't know why, but super-spy-gear Bobby lurking on a roof with binoculars does things to me. I'm not sure what things. Just things. Good things.
-"The golden rule is there's no such thing as monsters. Anything stirs their little pots to the contrary very bad for our plans." Oh reeeeeeally. So, uh, does this mean that the best way to stop the Leviathans is for Sam, Dean, Bobby and every other hunter to out themselves and the things they hunt in as widespread a manner as possible? Because that could be one hell of a lot of fun.
-"I will give anything to make this right."/"I know you will." And he gets eaten now, yeah? Or messily slaughtered.
-"You're bibbing me?" AHahhahahahaha. Oh Edlund. XD
-"Now I have officially seen it all." Ooooooor they'll make him eat himself. Ew. ...How does that work. Does that send him back to Purgatory? Do they each have a little dimensional rift in them? Or... I don't know if I want to ponder the other options. O.o
-OH CRAP! BOBBYYYYY! When you're lurking around and focusing on what you're spying on, don't forget to keep an eye out and keep hidden! ACK! O.O
-"There are at least four Leviathans out there, we don't even know how to kill one." Yes you do! Though if this is a Leviathan building and they haven't told their cleaning crews 'absolutely no Borax'... hey... The Leviathans don't know about it do they? Leviachef didn't... did they find out about it after the police station? If two of their own got melted, they should have at least dragged the remains back to the lab to figure out why. Hmm. In any case, convenient cleaning van. Oh and Sam, Dean, Bobby? WHY DO YOU NOT HAVE BORAX SUPER-SOAKERS YET??? Seriously!
-"I imagine you appreciate guns."/"I'd appreciate one right about now." So much love for the Bobby versus Dick snark-off type-thing.
-"I clearly ain't worth the extra time I'm getting here." Oh Bobby. Oh god, I bet you're being used as bait. O.O
-You know, for a guy who's full of evil black goop from the dawn of time? Dick Roman's kind of hot.
-"I bet your friends are on the way to rescue the damsel." And such a fetching damsel he is. *scritches his adorably scruffy beard*
-"Naw, they're too smart. They know they don't have the numbers. It'd be suicide. I've run my race." HA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. HA. Smart doesn't enter into it, dude. You're one of their few friends, not to mention their best friend, really, and their surrogate father-figure. They can't not rescue you, no matter how inadvisable it is.
-"Could die worse." Yeah, I suppose getting eaten is quick at least... unless they make a copy. And send it along with the boys. And make you watch. And then eat you. Buuuut then you can haunt the hell out of them and try to warn Sam and Dean and BOBBY IS TOTALLY NOT GOING TO DIE HERE, RIGHT GUYS???? That blue hat is suddenly making me very, very, very nervous. O.O
-Yay! Spray things of Borax! TAKE THEM WITH YOU FOR NEXT TIME.
-Also machetes would be good. Head chopping and taking along in a bag would be handy instead of just temporarily inconveniencing them.
-Yes Bobby, the halls are alive with the sound of dumbass Winchesters coming to rescue you, just like they have to, because they're awesome and you're awesome, and you'd do the same for them, no matter how stupid and inadvisable and "oh golly let's walk straight into this trap" it is.
-Fortunately, Dick Roman is having a moment of poor tactics and leaving the stronghold room where he has a handy hostage and some weapons to check out his dying underlings. Unless it's not a tactical gaffe and Bobby's already a Leviathan. Eeek. O.O
-Nope! GO ACTION BOBBY!!! \o/
-Oh crap. Bobby's hyperventilating about something he's reading. EEK! Also JUST TAKE THE FILES! Or is that a trap too. Leave the captive in the room with the obvious Briefcase O' Plans and have him snoop it and escape, when the briefcase is 100% full of disinformation. Crap. It's what I'd do if I were the mean GM at this moment. *flails*
-Right, fine, you're gonna show me plans and maps Bobby's hyperventilating over, I'm gonna cap them and true to figure them out. Looks like wiring schematics and the map has... *pulls up Google maps* Toledo, Ohio, where Kripke is from and, hehe. Madison, Wisconsin. I think there's a fan or two in that area, maybe? ;-D So, wiring diagrams, Madison and Toledo. Assuming this isn't all disinformation, I have no idea what's alarming Bobby.
-Marching up to the door of the room you are being held captive in and opening it without even checking for a guard, not so smart. Bobby must be really rattled. Or more used to the direct in your face approach. Which gets him a fist directly in the face.
-She's like the liquid metal Terminator! Hee!
-Whoa, special effects and CGI got to play with the wounds. *rolls it back and watches Dick's eye grow back in a few times* Awesome!
-*watches the entire Action!Bobby escapes with the boys scene a few times over* GLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! \o/
-"Hey Bobby. Your hat."
...
.....
OH MY GOD WHAT???
I KNEW IT, I FRIGGING KNEW THAT BLOODY HAT WAS SIGNIFICANT, SON OF A BITCH, BOBBY'S STILL STUCK WITH THE LEVIATHANS, OR, CRAP, WAS THAT BOBBY? MAYBE IT'S A DEEP SLEEPER AGENT. HE HAD HIS HAT!!! HE DID! AND HE WAS DOING SPY THINGS! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! WHAT'S GOING ON? *FLAILS EVERYWHERE*
OH MY GOD BOBBYYYYYYYYY!!!!
*hyperventilates* O.O
-But... Oh god. There's... It's not... Oh...
And suddenly everything is so very much worse.
-"BOBBY!"
Oh god. D-:
Soooooo, I'm just going to sit here meeping in the dark and really hoping for a skull graze. Which, you know, puts Bobby in a coma and makes him unable to deliver the plot until an appropriately dramatic juncture, since neither of these guys are going to think to use Dreamroot, ever, and Bobby will eventually be fine and dandy (or maybe come out of it blind since they showed us his mad Zen Rifle/'shoot you through the trees in the dark with my eyes closed' skillz) and stuff, yep, it's just a graze or a fracture and a coma for an appropriately dramatic length of time, even though he did have a heart-to-heart with both Winchester boys this episode and that totally doesn't matter because BOBBY IS NOT DEAD NOT DEAD NOT DEAD SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP LALALALALALALA.
AND NOW WE HAVE TO WAIT TWO WEEKS TO SEE THAT BOBBY IS PERFECTLY FINE AND DANDY.
CURSE YOU, EDLUND!!! O.O DDD-:
*all the wibbles*

All that said, I can't believe I'm going to get more use out of this icon this season. It even has a (different) blue hat.
no subject
Yup. It is my understanding that here in the States tipping percentages have migrated from the old 15% for good/regular service to a standard of 18% for good/regular service. 15% percent is for tightwads or somewhat subpar service, and 20% is for great service. More and more restaurants are now even helpfully giving you the percentage dollar amount options right on your printed receipt, so it's an easier call to make. I kid you not.
-"If I wasn't so chilled out right now, I would puke." Is it terribly wrong of me to say that I love stoned!Dean and wish we could get more of him? Though, you know, turning into a murdery monster is not a good thing, and Sam very obviously doesn't agree with me.
I think it should be a staple item on SPN -- just like the 'Sam's getting choked again, must be Friday' thing. At least once every several episodes we should be treated to Dean getting whammied by a MOTW and allowed to just -- be chilled for a little time out. Ackles was hysterical!
The Bobby thing -- I saw the foreshadowing for this back in 7.02, with Dean's phone call to Bobby. I have no idea if he survives or not, but I worry about this foreshadowing. I worry a lot. Stupid blue hat.
no subject
Wow. I don't go to restaurants much at all, so I have no idea if it's similar here.
Dean getting whammied by a MOTW and allowed to just -- be chilled for a little time out.
Oh absolutely, the boy needs a break now and then.
I saw the foreshadowing for this back in 7.02, with Dean's phone call to Bobby.
I've been seeing foreshadowing for something like this since season 2 or 3 and they still managed to shock me. I'm hoping, but given the way the season has been going, isolating the Winchesters from their usual assets, allies and practices (Castiel, Impala, fake IDs etc) , Bobby is one of the few allies and friends they have left. I'm just hoping a temporary coma is going to be enough of an isolation for the writers.
I am so glad I made this icon. I'm probably going to over-use it during the next two weeks.

Apparently the guy who plays Dick was one of the kids who played Doctor Zee in Galactica 1980. Bizarre. I also think he looks a bit like David Tennant. Even more bizarre.
And how can you not like Cornish pasties???? Dean would like Cornish pasties.
no subject
Much more entertaining than the real show!!

I like Cornish pasties. Just not the rock-hard brownish-grey oozing things the high school cafeteria was calling cornish pasties. They required chiseling to get into, and had nothing but nastiness inside. I've had better ones since and they're very good.

Jim has been posting lovely pics from Japan on Twitter. He went into a shop and was invited to a harvest festival by some farmers. This surprises me not at all;)

Bobby is just fine. Fine fine fine. Can't be anything else. Just fine. Annoyed about his hat I'm sure, but just fine.

Re: The Plan
Back to Bobby's total awesomeness--loved his heart to hearts with the boys. Comparing Dean to Anne Sexton--priceless and even more so because Dean would have .000000001% chance of knowing what it meant.(Bobby our little backwoods intellectual) And comparing Sam's relationship with Lucifer to Big Bird's (thank you Brandon) to Snuffleupagus was also priceless.
Question--why aren't they carrying borax and machetes/swords at all times--they seem quite aware of being hunted by the levia? I think supersoakers would be a good choice--also I'm sure Bobby or Dean should be able to adapt some paintball guns to effective use. Or lure them into a building rigged with borax laced sprinklers (a la Salvation) or outdoor sprinklers (a la No Rest for the Wicked) or hijack some heavy equipment --an oil tank truck and a high pressure hose should be able do some damage.
Also, question--why was Bobby alone snooping on the levia? Shouldn't one or both of the boys have been there to cover him given wearing those gigantic noise cancelling earphones he couldn't possibly have heard the levia sneaking up on him? I know, I know the better to advance the plot, but I hate it when they advance the plot at the expense of making the boys look dumb which they are not.
Re: The Plan
If you click on a person's user name, it usually takes you to their LJ main page, with most recent entries displayed, and many people will have a navigation post or index at the top of their main page for finding their older things.
As to your questions, they also never had Holy Water in Super Soakers to use against the demons, or 'borrowed' a truck that spreads de-icing salt on the road to use against ghosts. They just haven't thought of it yet, or there are technical issues that make it impractical (for the world or for filming), or because the writers haven't included it.

Your recaps are excellent as always. I haven't commented on them much because I am so late to the game watching but I've been reading them all and enjoying them immensely. :)

This was a mean episode for a cliffhanger, but Bobby's going to be fine, so it's all good. *crossing fingers, knocking wood*
