Just what the doctor ordered

castalieHello flist, this is Mouse, posting from home. I woke up this morning feeling fine then suddenly I wasn't feeling fine at all anymore and had to call in sick. I'm waiting to see whether I'll be okay to go this afternoon or if I'm looking at a whole day of feeling queasy and exhausted. Oh the excitement!
On the bright side, it did give me the opportunity to finally watch both Supernatural and Dexter. I couldn't last night; see, when I got home from work yesterday, and with my Christmas classics firmly on, I decorated the whole house - hee Christmas tree! Shiny and pretty decorations! Mini Christmas village near the fireplace *loves* And when it was done The Esu came over and the three of us went to my grand-parents' place soon-to-become The Esu's place - the interior looks so different now. It's not completely finished yet but it's a different house altogether. Which suits us just fine - different generation, different style - and we put up the decorations on the facade. We had to mac gyver the whole thing with cables and tape so that a) some of the decorations would stay in place and b) the plugs and sockets wouldn't get wet, and in the process we got wet and, man, it was so cold! It was for the good cause, though.
But anyway, all that to say that we got home around 10.30 pm and then I didn't have the time to catch up with my shows. Which I finally remedied this morning. So. This will be quick because I'm tired and all but one thing is sure there will be spoilers behind the cuts.
Let's start with Dexter. Argh omg talk about a fucking cliffhanger! So it was to be expected but even knowing that it was building up to that kind of scene, it was extremely stressing. Deb! Dex! Ken! Argh *flails*
Poor Dex. So confused and lost and hurt - it was painful to see. And Harry has been covering all bases, it seems. Again, poor Dex who needs answers and can't find them because it was decided for him a long time ago. Good thing Ken is here to - hopefully - give us ALL the answers we need. I don't want a single question unanswered at the end of this, man! Not to sound like Deb or everything but we earned it! Hee can't wait for the Big Confrontation and the Big Revelation *bounces*
It's always a joy seeing Dexter losing his cool - and as cold and calm as it was, that scene between Doakes and him at the hospital made me squee with delight. Omg Dexter! With his fucking intense look and his swearing and just - beautiful scene!
I was sorry to see him and Rita got their first argument. We knew he was talking from experience and he was just putting Harry in Rita's place but she had no way of knowing that and of course she took it badly and ohhh first fight! But the whole argument made me love Rita even more - yes, it's possible - because her accepting Dexter's 'advice' and then going to see Paul was absolutely wonderful but more than that her whole speech to him really made me fall in love with her all over again. God, that character is the most beautiful and decent and wonderful human being I've ever seen! Or, say, she's now sitting right next to Daniel Hood *nods*
And then we have Deb who broke my heart. She was falling so hard for him, finally seeing a future with someone she could trust and love and have fun with and share things with and it was all a lie! We knew it from the beginning, obviously, but it didn't soften the blow.
I cannot wait for next episode!
And then let's move on to Supernatural 2x09 - Croatoan. Or say, THOSE two scenes. I mean, the episode was nice but there were those two scenes that just made it one of the best!
God, Dean and Sam rock my world. And I do mean Sam too, here. Usually, the one character in SPN who can make me feel all tied up inside is Dean because, well, he owns me and that since the very first episode. He makes me feel things so deeply and he makes me hurt and sometimes he makes me cry and Jensen Ackles owns his role like it's nobody's business. The End. But this season, oh this season I've found a new appreciation for Sam/Jared Padalecki and that episode was no exception. It might have had my favourite Sam moment to date, even. Because, dude, when he's pleading Dean to leave him, all but begging Dean to just leave and save his own life, with tears on his eyes and face and that broken voice, and then his punching the medical not!table thingie... well, he made me want to cry with him! That was scene was so fucking good!
I mean, that first moment when Dean decides to stay and he threatens Tattoo Guy to kill him if he touches Sam - and you know Dean would do it, too. And then with Dean and Sam's little chit-chat and Dean admitting that he's tired of all this, tired of the job, of that life. Just... to think that Dean could be the one who wants to retire... this kinda blew me away, I have to say. I mean, on the one hand, he's not the one who's been driven by revenge like John and Sam, but on the other... this life, this job, it seemed to have been driven into him so deep that he would just never leave it behind. Except things are different now. And then to think that he might prefer to die than staying alone after Papa and Sam died... okay so that wasn't surprising per se, but it's still such a powerful thing to say/think that it blew me away too. Oh, Dean!
And then we have the last scene... and it KILLED me! So okay I was already dead with the scene above but let's say that one finished the job. Oh, boys! Dean refusing to talk about what he said - yeah, big surprise here! - Sam telling him in no uncertain terms that he won't accept 'no' for an answer - you go, Sam! - and then... oh then, Dean wanting them to have a break? Dean wanting them to go, like, on vacation? To the Grand Canyon or Hollywood? God! I don't know, I wish I had the words to tell you what this scene did to me but I can't.
It was... man, some scenes just kill you ded - and admittedly in SPN, there were more than a few, but that one definitely fit the bill. I think it was the whole setting. They're drinking beer, kicking and relaxing in a pretty peaceful place... coming down from the high of thinking Sam would die and all and Dean goes on with them needing a break and then admitting that John told him something about Sam - which, yes, we knew, thanks - but that he can't say because he promised and when you put those things together ... it's scary. I have to second what Sam said "What did Dad tell you, Dean"? WHAT? What made you want to just enjoy life all of sudden and do such "mundane" things as go on vacation and road trip just for fun? You're killing me *flails*
So to make a long story short: I might feel like crap but SPN and Dexter definitely helped me feel a bit better :-)

Date: 2006-12-12 11:44 am (UTC)This last episode they were just SUCH brothers.
So much perfection and I adored both!
no subject
Date: 2006-12-14 08:25 pm (UTC)And the interaction between the brothers was absolutely perfect in that ep, I so agree *nods*
no subject
Date: 2006-12-12 12:38 pm (UTC)And see, if one read that with no idea of what the boys are like, it'd totally be a no big deal kind of thing. I mean, they fight monsters, naturally he'd want a break. But. From the perspective of a fan, well, this is just about the most heartbreaking flail-inducing thing he could have said. And I love that. Because it's not something huge, objectively speaking, but they trust the fans to see how important it is.
And yeah, that probably makes no sense but just thinking about the ep has me flailing like crazy, so...

Date: 2006-12-12 12:51 pm (UTC)J'ai trop hâte de voir la confrontation aussi, et puis de savoir sa soeur en danger, il montre qu'il est pas si "empty". J'aime beaucoup Rita aussi, ça m'a rassuré quand j'ai vu qu'elle suivait le conseil de Dex, c'est cute.
Bon maintenant faut attendre une semaine et ça va être super dure, j'étais en plein dedans, je te raconte pas comment c'est jouissif de s'enfiler 11 épisodes de Dex à la suite soooo good^^
Je cours m'acheter les 2 bouquins!

Date: 2006-12-14 08:30 pm (UTC)Ce dernier épisode de saison devrait vraiment nous finir toutes, je crois. Ca devrait être un grand moment !
J'ai donc lu le deuxième tome et là je t'assure, j'ai trop hâte de pouvoir enfin lire le premier. Je le ferais qu'une fois que j'aurais vu le dernier ep; c'est difficile mais j'ai tenu jusqu'à maintenant donc je devrais survive, yay!
