When I watched "Skin" for the first time I thought that SPN was a nice show(just like I thought "Star Wars" was a 'nice little time-waster, too bad there wouldn't be a sequel')with hooboy, SERIOUS EYE CANDY that would only last one season--maybe. Well, don't make me the head of a TV network, because here we are! SPN has beaten the Timeslot From Hell, limited ads, its own third season(Rubela, sigh), and Dawn Ostroff to stand tall at its 100th ep! Thank you, Jared, Jensen, Misha, Eric, everybody, for bringing us the best show for (gasp)five years! And thank you, thank you, Jeremy, for writing a script that wrung me dry. I screamed, I cried, I cheered, I even "WTF?" a couple of times. Kudos to you and Jensen for having the guts to show Dean at the bottom, at the darkest he has ever been. I can't understand the Dean hate that's been going around, other than some fans might prefer that Dean just be a snarky ladies' man. But Dean has always been damaged, and to see him packing away that leather jacket and gun choked me up; it was as if he was scouring away his own identity, paving the way for Michael. Jared was MAGNIFICENT. While Dean's faith in him had withered, Sam's faith in Dean never changed(note to Dean: Sam did not 'run away' when he left for Stanford. He WENT TO COLLEGE. HE WANTED A LIFE. Maybe that will always stick in Dean's craw as desertion, but I think that is more of Dean's four-year-old self talking, not Dean as an adult. P.S: The one thing I'm not liking lately is the return of Lisa. A lot of fans seem to believe that it means that Ben is really Dean's son. Lisa seems like a nice lady, but frankly, she and Dean just had sex, so I don't understand this 'connection' Dean has with her. Oh well, moving on..)
Misha was, of course, his usual incredible self. I've been panting for more angel 'swordplay': we got that and more, since Cas has lost his faith as well. Seeing him beat Dean was excruciating on so many levels, especially since he seemed to spare Dean only because Sam still believed in him. But oh my, was Cas a BAMF or what?? (Aaand we got a glimpse of angel food cake--yummy!)
And Adam's back! I admit, I didn't really enjoy watching "Jump the Shark" because I was really apprehensive about another Winchester brother. But the twist that the boys hadn't really met their half-brother sold it for me, along with Jake's performance. He was really good in "PNR", and I hope he'll be back.
I wish Kurt Fuller could be! The best villains are the ones you'll miss; I just loved Zachariah, and I loved hating him. If Kurt ever appeared at a con, I know he'd get a standing ovation from the fans for his fabulous work. Bravo, Mr. Fuller!
And the ep ended the way I always wish they did...with our bros in Lady M, together and on the same page, driving to what's next. Can't wait.
Oh, and 'blow me, Cas'? And 'erotically co-dependent'? YESSSSSSSS....
WOW!
