castalieMy first two thoughts when I woke up this morning? 'Friday!' Immediately followed with 'Supernatural!' True story, too.
Work was crazy today! Crisis! Deadline! Absent People You Need to Talk To! Bloody signatures I couldn't get and absolutely needed to make things work. I swear next time? I'll forge some fake documents. I will, Boss Man, mark my words!
But I survived and it was good. Also, I did manage to go to lunch - an hour late but I thought I would have to skip it altogether, so that was a miracle in and of itself - and I got to eat with my cousin Ludivine, who's a Starbucks addict like me so that was a lovely break. Grande Caramel Macchiato always make things better *nods* And good company too, of course!
Then got home and downloaded SPN 4x04. Which I just watched.
Watching the episode, I was amused at how SPN is sorta giving a whole new meaning to the good ole saying 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions'. Oh, boys!
I do feel for Sam because he's so incredibly sure to be doing the right thing, so sure of doing good and saving people. Besides, when you think about it, he's finally doing something proactive - trying to turn the 'curse' into something good, controlling it instead of being controlled by it; it does sound like a good idea.
Except for how it's incredibly dangerous, and this is where I feel for Dean now. Because, wow, scary road here! And the fact that Sam gets so angry at Dean for worrying about his using those powers that hi! Come from a demon? Is worrying in and of itself. You can control it? How do you know, Sam? There's just no way to. You should at least consider that fact.
I mean, what's the saying again? 'Pride precedes a disaster, and an arrogant attitude precedes a fall', right? Or something like that, anyway. It's from the Bible, isn't it? Which is a bit too strong here as I don't think 'pride' is involved, but there's definitely an over-confidence in Sam that could cost him, well, his life, his soul - and everyone else's?
I especially ached for him at the very beginning, during his confrontation with Dean, because being told that God might not like what you're doing and might be trying to stop you from doing it? Would freak me out so much - actually, there's no words for how much it would freak me out! I mean, God, dude! Can't get more hardcore than this, can it?
And if you thought you were doing the right thing, then talk about a disappointment, too! Poor Sam.
I thought both boys were really, you know, them in this episode. Sam and his keeping secrets from Dean, Sam and his 'I'm a freak! You can't understand me!', Dean and his worries for Sam, Dean and his caving to Sam. Yes, that's Sam and Dean all right.
And though I absolutely hated when Dean hit Sam - his hitting his brother back then was already one time too many for me, so I actually cringed when he did it twice this time - I could get behind him with the fear and worry and anger. Plus, his being told byan authority figure someone that he might have to stop/kill his brother if Sam is going astray might bring back some bad memories. Just a thought.
The more things change? The more they stay the same.
Third saying/proverb of the day - please someone stop me!
Now, for something definitely lighter :
"If you hurt him I swear to God-" threatening!Sam was awesome! Oh, yes, Sam, say it again! *shivers*
Also! Everyone always wants a piece of Dean, it's canon!
PS: I'm using this icon because it's my 'Sam's Very Bad Day' icon and the guy was definitely having one hell of a bad day here. And also because he's playing with fire, so.
So I did enjoy it, but after the insane L.O.V.E I had for the past three episodes, this was more of a I-love-SPN-by-default kinda appreciation.
Ok, now... I think I'll go and watch Pushing Daisies 2x02. And then maybe follow with the Lee Pace theme and watch The Fall again.

Date: 2008-10-10 07:13 pm (UTC)I don't know the exact Bible quote, but in English it's been shortened to the admonishment, "Pride goeth before a fall." And yes, over-confidence is a form of pride.
I had a professor once who used to tell us, "Never say you're sure that you can do something or control something. Because as soon as you do, Fate will be waiting around the corner with a lead pipe in its hands." And that's exactly what Dean is worried about for Sam.

Date: 2008-10-12 03:40 pm (UTC)*nods* I know exactly what you mean. I'm still concerned about the direction this season is taking, but I'm trying to have faith in TPTB.

Date: 2008-10-13 05:04 pm (UTC)I guess I could be okay with it - god, can you imagine the angst? - if Kripke made it better in the end. I can bear a lot of angst but I need at least a hopeful ending...

Date: 2008-10-13 05:26 pm (UTC)It would certainly be a very different direction for the Winchester brothers' story but the first watching would be absolute torment for me unless they resolve the situation quickly like in All Hell Breaks Loose. You know, I actually really enjoy major angst, if I know there is a happy ending :-)!

Date: 2008-10-13 05:33 pm (UTC)Tell me about it, it would kill me to see that kind of storyline *feels sad just thinking about it* We'd need to have even bigger faith in Kripke to fix the boys soon-ish... so that our hearts can be mended!

Hectic week but everything ended well and I'm now on weekend so yay!
