I can't not comment on a new SPN

So Wednesday night I fell and sprained my ankle and messed up my knees. Fun times! I'm just the biggest klutz in the world.
Needless to say rather than being involved in anything fannish, I've been lamenting my dire situation (aka being a baby) and questioning God's existence (aka "why god, why meeeee?")
But I had to come back to share my thoughts on Supernatural. What kind of obsessed fangirl would I be if I neglected the awesome?
Episode 2.10 - Hunted
I felt bad for the victim of the first scene. We barely knew him, but you can only imagine how freaked out it must be to suddenly have this power and hear voices and no one will listen to you...and then you get stabbed to death.
But really, I'm surprised I caught anything in that first scene because I was bouncing on my bed going, "Sam and Dean and their conversation...what's going on..."
God, I love Dean. Of all the things his father could tell him, John tells him the one thing that is sure to undo Dean - that one day he might have to kill Sam. And while I doubt John was trying to destroy what was left of Dean, it now makes so much more sense why Dean was having such a hard time with this secret. His father was the one to put Sammy in his arms when he was just a baby, in Dean's mind making him Sam's protector, and then his father's last words involve the possibility of having to kill Sammy, which to Dean would be the greatest failure.
Gah. My poor Dean.
And then, jesus, poor Sam. He's angry with Dean and his father for not saying anything, but he's more scared of what the hell is going on with him. And all hs worst fears seem to be proven true in his mind when Dean tells him what John said.
I hate my boys flying solo, mostly because I love them together as a complete unit. But Sammy proved himself to be a very skilled hunter - hot wiring the car, breaking into the cabin, and even knowing to call for back-up when he knew he needed it.
Ava rocked. She was funny and smart and trying to grasp all this craziness without being ridiculous about it. I can't figure out though - when did the demon get to her? Before, during, or after her encounter with Sam? And how did the demon get to her? So many questions and I want to know!!!
Dear Gordon,
You better hope you stay in prison for a very long time because Dean can be downright scary and you went after his little brother...and you made him be right there, thinking his brother was dead...he will fuck your shit up should you ever get near him again. And I'm not sure Sam will be able to stop him from killing you.
No love,
Tommygirl
Quite frankly, Gordon's whole diatribe about how John would've been able to kill Sam if it came to it just...Gordon (like the demon, I think) is completely underestimating Dean's devotion to Sam and vice versa. Because John would not have been able to get anywhere near Sam - Dean would've done something about that. I have no doubt about it. And I also think it proves that John sacrificed himself not only for Dean, but Sam...because losing his father was hard on Sam, but he has Dean. And I don't think the reverse would ever be true. I don't think losing Dean on top of everything else is something Sam would've been able to deal with...especially since he and his father can't seem to avoid fighting. They would've fought to deal with their grief and driven another wedge in between them...and that way leads to evil Sam. (Which ya know, for one episode might be hot...but Dean saves him...yeah!)
Jesus. Dean thinking Sam was dead and then the sorta hug - dude, that's deep love for Dean - and Sam telling him that he was okay and that he had it handled.
I also love the complete turn-around in hunting that's going on this season. Sam's realizing that this is his destiny, to hunt, to save as many people as he can and that he can't run from it. Meanwhile Dean just wants to stop, to keep Sam safe and think of himself and his family first for a change, let everyone else save themselves.
But honestly, the myth arc, Sam's "destiny"...I couldn't care less about that in the long run. And that's okay because Kripke and the boys give me exactly what I want every single episode. The complete love and devotion Sam and Dean have for one another. They never say it, but it's in every action they each take. Sam walking into that cabin knowing what could happen because it's Dean. Dean trying to do anything and everything to keep Sam safe and protected and falling apart at even the idea of having to hurt him some day. Even in the way they joke around with one another.
As for the Roadhouse connection...I don't know, but I got the vibe that it might be Ash from this episode. I can't really support it with evidence, just this weird feeling I got from the way he was acting and that momentary shot of him when Dean is screaming at Ellen.
Overall, fantastic episode. God, I love this show. I love the boys. I just LOVE.

I'm hoping to get my website updated with all the stories I've written since July. I've also got a new batch of SPN recs to go up at
polyfandomrecs in the near future. And then I want to get caught up on the numerous bookmarked fic I've got and write, write, write.
Ciao darlings!
