OMFG! I have so much love for season 4 of SPN that I need a whole new dictionary to express the love! Words fail me!

Let's get something out of the way first ; I do think the reason why Dean was infected was ridiculous - bordering on offensive, too, if you think about it - and also, the only reason why Sam wasn't was because the guy is immune to all kinds of crazy stuff - cf "Croatoan" and definitely not because Dean is a dick and Sam isn't. And, yes, technically, I can see how this episode seems like it came from left field and all...

The real question is, did it lessen my enjoyement of the episode? The answer would be 'no' :-)

I had so much fun, despite Dean's predicament - sorry, Dean-o to have laughed my ass off at a situation that basically sucked for you - that I just can't look at the storyline from any meta'y, serious angle.

So, in no particular order. Meaning in no order whatsoever :

Dean's reaching for Sam not once but twice! Awww!

Dean's voice during his "We? Are insane" tirade - he so didn't sound like Dean. I mean, obviously, he didn't sound like himself but what I mean he didn't sound like himself. Like his voice! All cracking and just un-Dean like!

Sam was awesome in the episode! I mean, he could have mocked Dean mercilessly but even though he rolled his eyes and did get annoyed, he still humoured Dean as much as possible and tried to shield him whenever he could.

Sure, when I read the synopsis, I was hoping for some aggressively protective!Sam and, technically, it wasn't like that but it wasn't that kind of episode, so okay. And he was still being protective, just in a different and more low-key way, I guess. Still, protective!Sam in all its degree is a huge kink of mine. I thought he was very cute.

OHMYGOD! Dean's girly scream and his "that was scary" *dies* I cracked up so much that I missed the rest of the scene so I had to rewind - except I cracked up all over again, missed the rest of the scene and had to rewind a second time. God, that was priceless!

Bobby! HI, BOBBY, HI! Bobby who speaks Japanese now! Because Bobby is awesome as we all know!

Jensen was insanely pretty and insanely adorable in all of Dean's terrified glory. I know it's mean to enjoy him like this but just - omg! *loves* Seriously, JA has the best facial expressions ever. I can't get enough of the guy's acting!

And, and! Sam and Bobby, I don't know, cooing at Dean's attempt to be all Mean Dean Winchester Hunter Extraordinaire Ruthless Killer at the end? Was absolutely fantastic! "Aww" "He's adorable" and Sam's laugh - hee! ♥ ♥

As for the more serious, angsty parts - see, that was how I thought the episode would go all the way when I read the synopsis before watching the trailer and realising they would go a different route, so I was delighted to still get those angsty parts : Lilith's arrival and Dean's reaction to this particular hallucination was great - as was the one with the words appearing in the book he was reading, btw. And how much did I love the whole 'four months in hell is like forty years' thing? A WHOLE LOT!

Then Dean's vision of Sam's turning evil - I particular enjoyed the fact that he was back to his own self there for a moment, 'you get ouf of him you son of a bitch' was pure Dean. And then Sam being all 'I'm not possessed this is just good ole me'. Yes, this would be terrifying, all right.

So I really enjoyed those hallucinations and was happy to get them at all :-)

Speaking of the yellow-eyed thing; I don't know what to think of that little glimpse of it in Sam's eyes at the end. I'd say it was a remnant of Dean's sickness? I don't know. But it was sorta scary, because unexpected at this point in the story.

Speaking of scary, Sam and Bobby's method of getting rid of the ghost was, okay, efficient but I couldn't help but cringe at it. It was so cruel, I thought. I appreciated Sam's 'it was brutal, though'. I mean, that's what he said, right?

As for the little gift we got after the episode, now?

Pure love - yes, I'm saying that a lot today, I DON'T CARE I'M FULL OF LOVE, OKAY? - I was afraid to feel all embarrassed but it was just dorky and fun. Also! I loved that we could hear Jared's laughing off-screen. So.cute!

I think I'll go and re-watch the episode later. Then I'll catch up with Pushing Daisies - I still can't believe my beloved show might get the axe! I mean, Pushing Daisies! It's brilliant and brilliantly done and poetic and different and so hilarious and, really, how could it be cancelled?

Oh and unrelated. I had a friend over last night and we were talking about music - thus allowing me to keep on pimping Panic at the Disco to every human being who's unfortunate enough to ask me what I'm listening to at the moment - and she was all about Cocoon. So that makes, what, the fifth time I heard about it this week? First [livejournal.com profile] crazybutsound, then [livejournal.com profile] moimoietmoi, then [livejournal.com profile] angeliksmall and now Rissou? Ok, I cave in, I'll go and ask one of you girls to burn me the songs. See, I can take the hint!

SPN IS MADE OF WIN!!

I sang with Jensen at the end lol it was soooo good and when he used his leg as a guitar I laughed like a crazy girl. Jensen♥

You spread the Panic at the disco love with efficiency.

OMG, thank you! Everyone else on my f-list HATED this episode with the power of a thousand suns, and so I was left sitting in the corner going, but what about...? and what about...? Everything you said was, yes, AWESOME! I adored the ep, except for the bit with the ghost, but it was only a tiny bit of harsh to my squee.

Lol You're welcome :-) Must be tough feeling like you're the only one who enjoyed an episode *pets you*

And I forgot so many things! Like, when Dean is convinced their fake IDs aren't going to work and they'll end up in jail omg! Man, that cracked me up so much too!

Or! When he sees the ghost in the corner and next thing you know Sam is flabbergasted to see his brother isn't here but mile away and still running! Dude! lol

I can't believe that about Pushing Daisies either! See, that's the mentality of the American public though. They'd rather watch Dancing with the Stars or something just as uninspiring than PD.

I'll be bummed if it gets the ax.

That's so sad! I can't beleve they'd prefer those to Pushing Daisies. No wonder every other show looks like their neighbours, then, if that's how 'different and unique' is treated!

Am avoiding the SPN part because bro and I are only just about to watch it now. But Cocoon! I LOVE them! And I have their album available for download here: http://crazybutsound.livejournal.com/625526.html?nc=7

It's a .rar file, you just need to change the extension and unzip, no joining or anything. I'd offer to burn them for wednesday but my computer is on the fritz, so...

YES YES YES SO MUCH FUCKING YES!

I was gonna quote some stuff back at you, but then I realized the only thing I seem to be capable of contributing is "YES YES YES *GLEE* !!!!" so, you know. Just take it as read that I agree with every single thing you said. :D

And, oh, I watched the "that was scary" scene so many times I lost count and I cracked up every. single. time!

Fuck, I love this show. ♥♥♥

Lol Dude! *high fives*

'That was scary' scene was so hilarious that it should be declared illegal. Or a medical remedy for when you're feeling a little down.

Fuck, I love this show. ♥♥♥

YOU AND ME BOTH KAJA!

This SPN episode was a bit of a mixed bag for me, I do want to watch it again though to see what I think on a second viewing...

At least you didn't hate it on sight :-) Not that there's anything wrong with that, btw - just in case someone who hated the episode reads this and wants to kick me in the head! - but it's always nicer when you end up enjoying something, right?

Oh man, that episode made me laugh so much. I mean, it's ridiculous that Dean would be infected because he's a dick &c, and I felt so sorry for the ghost, but Dean screaming like a little girl at a cat will never not be hilarious. Also, Jensen Ackles ♥__♥

They might axe Pushing Daisies?! But! But it's my favourite D:

I prefer to just ignore the stupidity of the whole 'Dean is a dick, which is why only Dean was infected' thing. This never happened.

Also, Jensen Ackles ♥__♥

I second that, boy do I ever!

They might axe Pushing Daisies?! But! But it's my favourite D:

I know! It's so sad, isn't it? I'm hoping it won't happen *fingers crossed*

yes, yes and yes. You hit all the good stuff. Especially Sam's behaviour, being annoyed, eyes rolling, but still trying his best. And yes want more protective Sam. And yes very worried about being embarassed by extra, but pleasantly and wonderfully surprised.

Always nice to know someone else shared your opinion of an episode :-)

And protective!Sam, oh boy how much do I love that kind of Sam! I had issues with Sam in s1 but I started seeing him under a different light thanks to "Faith". This is where protective!Sam became a kink of mine.

In "Metarmophosis" when Dean is alone with MoTW and Sam is locked in the closet and goes "if you hurt I swear to-" with that growly and aggressive voice of his? *dies*

And yes very worried about being embarassed by extra, but pleasantly and wonderfully surprised.

Hee I'm not the only then who gets embarrassed over that kind of thing? Happy to know! And I was delighted to see I didn't need to be worried in this particular case :-)

I did a lot of squirming when they were singing Bon Jovi's Wanted Dead or Alive. ;) I guess the diff is that this was clearly Jensen doing Eye of the Tiger and not Dean. I can live with that.

Protective!Sam Yum!
