On Supernatural:

[lunesque]

A list of points:



*Oh, boys.

* I wasn't surprised by a single thing in this episode.

* Kate Cassidy isn't a good enough actress to make me believe that Lilith was inhabiting the body instead of Ruby. Intellectually, I knew, but. Yeah.

* Bobby is just about the coolest supporting character I have ever seen in this show. Like, seriously. All sorts of ridiculous awesome.

* "You're about to become Hell's bitch..." = HA HA HA HA. I love you.

* Of course Sam's powers are dormant. Raise your hand with me if you totally knew. *raises hand*

* Dean is so cool.

* Bon Jovi. Singing in the car. Oh, boys.

* Why does Lilith always choose children to inhabit? That's sort of creepy. Also, felt no fear in the face of her anger, but did pity that girl's family.

* Sam crying for Dean ripped me apart. Jared Padalecki totally wrecked me here. It wasn't the pretty crying, it was serious crying, with his face squishing up in crazy shapes and everything. *LOVE*

* It made me feel filthy when the first thing I thought upon seeing Dean in Hell was: Why isn't he naked? *headdesk*

Katie Cassidy's acting skills made me cringe for pretty much this entire season. XD

Also I noticed that BOBBY NEVER SHOWED UP AGAIN IN THE EPISODE AFTER THEY SHOWED HIM LOOKING OUT OF THE WINDOW OR WHATEVER. Wtf.

The singing in the car was precious. ^^

Yes, all of that. [makes Rodney-like hand-wavey gesture]

The singing made me flail like a silly flailing thing. They were so cute! And awful! But mostly cute!

I was wondering that about Lilith, too. I'm awfully curious about her motivations in that regard.

And Saaaaaam! Oh, he was so heartbreaking. :(

I was a little disappointed by Dean-in-Hell. The graphics were too cheesy for me. :/

Overall, I enjoyed the episode, I think. Different ending would've made it stronger, but what're ya gonna do?

I was willing to forgive her acting for Ruby, but the instant I realized she was supposed to be Lilith, I was just... okay. No.

I didn't think about Bobby disappearing until just now, but I kind of forgive it, because there wasn't really very much time between Bobby watching the water levels for the sprinklers and Dean actually dying.

THE SINGING. I CANNOT EXPRESS MY LOVE ENOUGH.

And the way Sam finally got into it, and then Dean got all woobly.

All in all, regarding hell, I would have preferred that they never actually showed it. I mean, they could have had Sam crying over Dean and a voice-over of Dean shouting Sam's name. That would've been more effective for me, I think.

Yeah, that's what I wanted to say about the ending, but dad was rushing me out of the house so we could meet mom for dinner. :/

I really, really want to like Ruby, but like. It's fucking difficult when KC is kind of a crap actor. To her credit, she has definitely improved since her first episode, but I find myself hoping that her dead body on the floor means they'll do a recast for next season.

I think Lilith chooses to inhabit children because a lot of Lilith stories from mythology have to do with her special obsession/hatred for human children. And we all know little girls in SPN = bad things are going to happen.

Okay. The singing made me cringe and laugh and cringe and laugh, and so on, but it was SO CUTE. SAM'S FACE. *squishes*

I was so disappointed that Sam didn't, like, take control of all of Lilith's demon army and... I don't know. Something insane and badass and amazing. Pls to be showing us Antichrist Sam next season? I NEEDS IT.

Yeah, I agree. She definitely improved, but I kind of think that's because the character improved as well-- because when she became Lilith, it was just completely not working for me.

Actually, your Lilith explanation makes a lot of sense. I don't know why I didn't think about it myself. :D

Lastly, I'm just waiting for Sammy's powers to start up again. Especially since we're supposed to learn more about Mary and her family. I just can't wait, 'cause you totally know Sam's going to be obsessed with getting Dean back.
