I have finally watched and caught up here. Oh my, I need to rewatch. The pain is exquisite.

Oh, dear, Cas. Well, I hope part of next season is devoted to de-multi-souling him, even if it means that he has to die - redeem him first, pls. But wow. We saw RoboSam outright kill an innocent, and Cas, well, blood of a virgin (even though Crowley got it) and torture an apparently peaceful creature to the point that she died. And disble Sam. Oh, and, alas, poor Balthazar. I'll miss him. So much for Sam's angel.

I wonder what Cas's "plans" are for Crowley. Anyway, more Mark Sheppard would be a good thing to my mind.

Can't wait to rewatch. I figured there was a switch with the jar of blood; just seemed like the easiest "gotcha" to prevent Rapael from winning, which I kind of figured is how it would go since we've already had an averted apocalypse.

I wonder what Death's take on all this is and whether we'll see him again. Hope so.

You have 11 hours to buy this shirt.

I just watched "what is and what never should be" and it might be the saddest thing ever.

Yay! One of my absolute favorites! You have so many good episodes ahead of you too. I keep that episode on my phone. For a long time I thought it was my favorite, but I can think of other episodes that move me. But that is the episode that I need to have with me. Be careful of anytime that the boys are completely happy was my lesson there. Much pain will follow.

and torture an apparently peaceful creature to the point that she died.

Something killed Lovecraft and all the others at that dinner party, so I don't think she was exactly an innocent even if she wasn't actively malevolent and predatory like most everything else with a link to Purgatory.

Huh, I wonder if the Horla or whatever it was remained attached to Dr. Visyak's soul after death, and so got eaten by Cas along with all the other dead monsters.

That was part that I didn't understand. Bobby said something like did you kill the HP Lovecraft and she replied with "please, that man couldn't write hello". I was just confused.

Was that "I killed him but it doesn't matter because he was a hack?" or "I wouldn't stoop to killing someone like that". I didn't understand the exchange at all.

That struck me as odd, too. I wondered if she was implying that she was the real author of the Cthulu mythos.

Oh man. The cracked-out metas are flying fast and loose all over the place, and I just read a doozy on lj - the author wrote a lengthy piece about "the representation of male sexuality in Supernatural...first, the way homophobia has been intentionally entwined into the season 6 story arc, and second, what that means for the characters." So far, so good. Until you get to this: "But first, a disclaimer, just to get it out of the way. I haven't watched Supernatural season 6 yet, and won't until my alpha watcher has vetted and passed it for me. The following is based on spoilers, episode synopses, fan meta, watching scenes on YouTube, songvids, and reading fanfic."

Yeah, you go, girl. The entire essay is about Dean and Castiel and how they are obviously in looooove but the show writes Dean too immaturely to allow them to show it. Also, probably Sam and Bobby are uncomfortable with the idea of Dean being gay. Or at least bi.

So I was like "O.o" reading all this, and then came across this from someone else in the comments: "Also, just as a slightly OT note that I'm sure you be interested in is that it's heavily implied in the last three episodes that Castiel and Crowley had sex to sign their deal." And then my brain made that screeching noise you hear when your car brakes lock up. Fortunately someone asked for clarification so I didn't need to: "It's kinda a one-thing-on-top-of-another situation. There's Crowley calling Cas a whore, which I have difficulty finding another explanation for. Right before Crowley convinces Cas to talk to him in Hell, he says "happy endings for everyone, with every possible entendre intended" and "I'll make it worth your while" is said as though there was a sexual meaning along with he obvious. "Have you forgotten you're the bottom in this relationship?" And there's the fact that Crowley is more powerful than Lilith was, and we all know how you had to seal deals with her...I also just ran into a line I'd forgotten about-- Dean calling Cas and Crowley butt-buddies."

So the insanity levels are just raging out there.

We should build walls to protect ourselves.
