It's back, yay!

Death made an eclipse. He is the BAMFiest BAMF that ever BAMFed.

Oh, Sam, Sam, Sam. Calling for Cas, you are so freaking adorable. And it worked.

Dean and Death scenes are some of my favorites. Pickle chips. Good call.

Final moments of Cas were sweet... the look on his face with "I'm ashamed. I overreached." Noodle.

Leviathan!Cas looks to be all kinds of fun.

Did not expect to see Lucifer! (she said, excitedly??)

Tell me, am I over analyzing here - in the scene in the trailer with Crowly, Cas says,"...and we need to keep Michael in Lucifer's cage." He did not say, we need to keep Michael and Lucifer in the cage. Is Lucifer still in the cage? He didn't hitch a ride with Sam's soul did he? How is Sam walking and talking? He was supposed to be a complete wreck. Think Lucifer is holding him together? It doesn't really make sense to me, because why wouldn't Lucifer just completely take over. But, anyway, it just struck me oddly that he said "keep Michael in Lucifer's cage" and not mention both of them. And then Lucifer showed up in Sam's head, and it got me wondering.

The poor Weisses.

But, anyway, it just struck me oddly that he said "keep Michael in Lucifer's cage" and not mention both of them.

I mentioned that to S. when we were talking, but I don't know if it was just a shortcut construction, like if you call it "Lucifer's cage" it presupposes Lucifer is in it.

I don't *think* Lucifer is topside, because I think God!Cas would have known -- he knew where Crowley was despite his angel-proofing.

Calling Dean holding Cas up when he stumbles in front of the sigils "the only good moment in a crappy episode" is just ... what?

Those are the crazy shippers, who parallel the ones I've read that Dean was an asshole trying to save the world while his brother might be in trouble, and OMG how could Dean and Sam not hug, so OOC.

It seems to be pretty universally Dean's fault, for touching either one of them insufficiently.

Yeah, I agree - I'm 95% thinking Lucifer's still in the cage where he belongs, so not even worth mentioning that he's there. But there's that 5%... I think a teensy part of my being is a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist.

Oh, and I loved Bobby to Death: "... your... Honor."

Yes! "Your honor" was priceless.

Dean doesn't hug very often, really. And when he does, it's almost relief. Last night, he was holding everything in, he was balanced so precariously on the edge of totally losing it.

I was reading someone's LJ, and they posted that the anime was even more hugging than the live action. I had to comment, because "more"? They barely do! I hug my sister as much, and we live in different countries.

I do remember some fic where Sam is thinking, in his defense, that they're totally normal and hug quite a bit because they totally do every time one of them dies.

Loved the episode. . .loved it. I'm sure you have all covered the high points. Misha is going to have so much fun playing maniacal evil.

Death made an eclipse. He is the BAMFiest BAMF that ever BAMFed.

Yes he is. Again, Favorite Character. Dean arranging the food so carefully for him made me giggle.

I think Death is Dean's Santa, in a perverse and twisted way.

Yes he is. Again, Favorite Character. Dean arranging the food so carefully for him made me giggle.

With you on all of that. There's nothing I didn't love about that scene, and I'm fairly certain I can say that about any scene they've done with Death. They really handle that character and his interactions beautifully.

ETA: Made. An. Eclipse.
