I'd prefer a plan where they can tip Luci over and leave Sammy in Dean's grabby little hands,

BUNGEE CORD

for bobby too!

Okay, both my immediate comments involve Bobby, and how awesome Crowley is for sweetening Bobby's deal. As much as I'm loving Crowley, I can't help Captain Jack Sparrow chirping "pirate!" in the back of my mind, and me echoing, "demon!"

And thank you, so very very much, Bobby, for noticing the job Sam's been doing. For pointing it out in a way Dean couldn't ignore, for making Dean see and agree. Sam has been working twice as hard to make up for...well, pretty much the worst betrayal of mankind ever, but he *was* manipulated into it, and Dean *did* open the first seal and start that process, so springing Lucifer doesn't fall completely on Sam's neck. And Sam's been refusing to despair, and lugging Bobby, Castiel, and Dean, in turn and collectively, back from the brink of despair. There may be darkness in him, but his heart is still Sam. So thanks, Bobby, for acknowledging it for all of us who didn't think show ever would.

Next season being about Sam's turn in hell while Dean consorts with his otherworldly...other is a little too too for me.

That was more sarcasm than prediction. I'm pretty sure that is NOT what is going to happen. I'm just wondering how much they will have to pull out of their ass for that NOT to be the ending. My hope is they've planted clues all along so that when it comes it won't be a complete asspull. Maybe the loaded anti-christ just sitting on a shelf somewhere ....

Sam has been doing an increasing job of awesome. No penalising of that will be allowed. He's going to work a way out of this.

Aired promo.

But it ain't gonna be pretty, and I don't think everyone not named Winchester is making it out.

Maybe Castiel sacrifices himself getting Sam out? Dies in Dean's arms? Bobby does some funky soul-free thing he could do and gets Sammy out instead.

Oh, and Perkins noted that Crowley called Brady (quite normally) Sam's demon lover.

Let the fic begin!

That makes it canon!!!!!

runs away

Julie recced that architeuthis fic earlier! I was wondering why I came home and it was open on my laptop, except I'd read it on my phone. It does indeed adhere to my wish list, and then do some more things.

Hey--Serenity Valley nursing home? How has nobody remarked on that?

And also, Dean's "Nana" (Nana! So cute!), Eunice Kennedy??? Dude, how did he even know that name?

Hee, that's what Sam wanted to know.

I didn't even see the sign for Serenity Valley. Excellent catch.

I loved that Dean said "Nana." I figured he didn't get much chance for that.

Dean can know Eunice Kennedy! Of course, I'm just guessing about who she is, but I figure I'm right.

Dean knows all kinds of random things. Also, she was in the news last year for dying and all.

Sam's hair looked really good. Dean looked really pretty. Mark Sheppard remains awesome. And I agree with Death about the pizza.
