vyperddA few thoughts....
Wow, that was the most crazy ep I think I've seen. I loved it!!! Not really sure why but I really really loved it!!!! Will need to watch it again and hopefully ALL the time jumps and flashbacks will make a bit more sense.
But I loved the call backs to Azazel and Michael and Crowley becoming King Of Hell and the Colt!!!! OMG, that last scene with Crowley and Lucifer opens up so many many questions. Will never not love seeing Mark Pellegrino as Lucifer.
But what the heck was that slo-mo near the start. Sure it looked super cool but what was the point of it?? Am thinking Speight was on something when he directed this ep and the title cards, they were weird too.
And, oh boy!! I so want to slap Mary into next week for putting her sons in danger, for working for the bastards who tortured Sam and threatened to kill Dean, for keeping secrets about something so fundamentally important to them and their entire lives work. They deserve so much better from her!
Loved Jared's performance so much. His hurt towards Mary, knowing she is not telling him things, knowing that she is in some of trouble or danger but won't share that burden with them. His need to know she's okay hunting again and her response as she walked away was heartbreaking.
LOL'ed at everyone ordering food but Sam wanting the free wifi password!!! Never change, baby!!
Also loved the convo with everyone talking over each other and especially Sam's "Why would you want them to smell like food?" Then Mary turns on the Mum voice "Hey" and everyone goes immediately quiet, Sam and Dean looking like little kids. Sam's "Sorry, mum." was just too adorable.
A big surprise was how much I enjoyed Misha this week. He played hurt/dying Cas really well, not going too over the top like when he played Lucifer last season, keeping it more real and quite emotional.
Am sure to have more to say after I do a rewatch or two. Am sure I missed a lot of little details.

Sam's reaction to Mandy calling @mishacollins "handsome" was more Jared than Sam... #spnfamily

Date: 2017-02-17 03:12 pm (UTC)There was a few things I didn't like, mostly to do with Mary and how she's treating the boys, Sam in particular. It's so not how I thought the writers would have used her and it seems such a waste of what should have been a fantastic opportunity to show her relationship with her sons and how what she did before Sam was even born has affected them and made them the men they are today.
But, I agree, they are slowly killing everything I used to love about the character. Just hope they can somehow turn things around, have her be honest and open with Sam and Dean.
Get the feeling you didn't enjoy Misha's performance? LOL Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
It wasn't until the final credits that I realised that I really enjoyed it. I spent pretty much the entire ep being very confused with all the flashbacks and repetition and going WTF & WTH??? But then it was like, Yeah, I really liked that. As I said, I still really don't know why but the feeling of loving an ep so totally feels so good that I don't feel the need to analyse it too deeply.
