The Positively Positive

When I heard that one of my favorite actors from Supernatural, Misha Collins who plays the angel Castiel, was starring in his very own SyFy tv movie, I just had to watch it. Truthfully though, I didn’t expect it to like it all that much. I know, I’m sorry, but hey this is a SyFy movie and well, they’re not always top notch, ya know?

Okay so I was wrong. Like way wrong. Unlike other tv movies that feature a misunderstood hero, a strong female scientist, a soldier willing to break the rules, another soldier who simply wants to destroy what he doesn’t understand and a crazy zealot bent on destroying the world – this movie was actually pretty good. Once you got past some of the cheese (Stonehenge MOVES???), it’s really pretty awesome, okay so maybe b-movie-on-Syfy-awesome, but still.

The fun part about watching Misha in Supernatural as Castiel is that he plays the character so subtly while still managing to convey a lot. Well in this movie, he plays a character that’s anything but subtle. He gets to ham it up, yelling at scientists who don’t believe his theories, getting into fights, getting shot, hanging out of car windows and all around getting to be something of a badass (well, as much of badass as a crackpot scientist can be anyway). Not that he takes it too far though, just enough to show us that he can do more than play a nearly emotionless angel with a sexy gravelly voice.

There were some great lines in this flick too, including Jacob’s ultra sarcastic “Oh, you don’t say!” when he finds out that the scientists have just discovered something he’s known all along, and the driver screaming “Holy crap!” when the pyramid suddenly appeared in the middle of Maine (yeah I think that would’ve been my response too).

Then of course there was the ending. Okay so maybe I should have seen it coming but I didn’t. Jacob sacrificing himself to save the planet and Kaycee taking over his radio show “The Real Story”? Nope, didn’t see that at all. I totally thought the two of them would end up together and that’s probably what I liked the most about this movie. Despite the b-movie and cheese factor, it still managed to surprise me.

Not bad for a SyFy movie, not bad at all.

I have to apologize for this one being late. First off I had to watch this episode not once, not twice, but three whole times before I could wrap my head around it enough to even begin talking about it. Secondly I had a crazy busy weekend (yay to my friend who graduated law school and whose commencement, etc I attended) and finally, for some extra fun, my internet went down. Jeesh.

Like everyone out there, I had a lot of theories about how this season would end. None of them involved Dean living a normal life though. That one took me by surprise, even after he went to visit Lisa a couple episodes ago. When I thought of the possibility of Dean going off to live the apple pie life, it was always something I pictured as part of the series finale (that is, if he survived it of course).

This season ended with all of the characters basically going their separate ways, something that I found very interesting not just because usually at least some of them are together when a season ends, but also because none have any intention of being together. It makes me wonder how next season will start out and where it will go from there. What exactly will bring all of these characters together again now that they’ve all gone off to do different things?

I’m already excited about next season and it’s not even here yet. This is gonna be one long summer. Sigh.

Highlights….

The finale montage, as always, done to “Carry on Wayward Son” by Kansas. Somehow any other song just seems wrong for the season finale now.

Chuck writing the history of the Impala. I loved learning all about her, especially the bits that even Sam and Dean don’t know.

Dean calling Sam a “grown…..overgrown man” and saying that he has to stop treating Sam like a kid, a part of that being that Dean has to grow up too and go along with Sam’s plan to put the Lucifer back in his cage.

Noting that that was the quietest opening scene I think of any Supernatural episode. When the blood went across the screen with the title card, I practically jumped.

Dean’s “Aw, ain’t he a little angel” when he spotted Cas snoozing in the backseat. Then Sam pointing out that “angels don’t sleep” and both of them realizing the implications of what that meant. Cas appears to be heading towards the person he was in the ep ‘The End’ and, as much as I was enjoying his trip to humanity, I realized that I didn’t really want that particular end for him.

Sam asking Dean to let him rot in hell and to go live “some normal, apple pie life”. Oh man, I was not expecting that.

Bobby telling Sam to fight Lucifer and to keep swinging until the end.

Cas not realizing that part of a normal, tearful human goodbye (especially when things appeared as hopeless as they did) was to lie….and then trying to lie and failing miserably at it. Well at least he tried.

Sam asking Dean not to watch him drink the blood. Eep.

Learning about all the little things that the boys have done to the Impala over the years. Loved the little toy soldier in the ashtray. I bet my dad’s old car probably still has some toys stuck in it. Those kinds of ashtrays were awesome toy holders.

Lucifer remarking that Sam was “choc full of Ovaltine”

Lucifer asking Sam to “drop the telanovela”. LOL.

Lucifer quoting the famous “Devil Went Down to Georgia” by the Charlie Daniels Band. “A fiddle of gold against your soul says I’m better than you” is one of the best lines and that’s one of my favorite songs, like, ever. I used to sing it all the time when I was a kid. So awesome that they referenced it in the show.

Dean opening up the cage and having to force his brother to go inside. Yes of course it all turned out to be a trick and Lucifer was never going to step inside, but Dean didn’t know that and I can’t imagine how hard that was for him.

The way Jared played Lucifer, speaking softly and putting in little mannerisms that reminded me of Mark Pellegrino. The whole conversation in the mirror was brilliant.

Lucifer telling Sam that they were “MFEO” (which I had to look up to find out meant “made for each other”).

Finding out how many demons have been watching over Sam his whole life and Lucifer telling him that all those times he ran away, he was running towards him.

Dean calling Cas “Bukowski” (as in Charles Bukowski – my friend had to tell me he was a writer well known for drinking) oh and also calling him a “junkless sissy”.

Finding out that Sam and Dean did things like go to Ozzie concerts and Jayhawks games in the Impala. I also love that Chuck mentioned how they were never really homeless, because they always had the car. I said the exact same thing in my novel-length Supernatural fanfic (‘Black Cat’). Guess great minds think alike eh? Then again, I bet every fan has had the same thought, it’s just nice to actually hear it said on the show.

Dean telling Cas and Bobby that, even if all he was going to see was Michael killing Sam, he was still going to go there and not let his brother die alone. Oh my god, what a line.

Reading SOOO much into the conversation between Lucifer and Michael, and how it related to Sam and Dean. I still would have preferred Dean as Michael but it was still a fantastic scene and Adam (Jake Abel) did a great job.

Dean roaring up in the Impala and popping in a cassette of “Rock of Ages” by Def Leppard. Oh yeah baby!! Love that song. I think this one beats the ‘Renegade’ moment in the season 2 ep ‘Nightshifter’

Cas calling Michael “assbutt” and hitting him with a holy fire Molotov cocktail. That was awesome! Of course then it became less awesome when Lucifer snapped him into a bloody mess a few seconds after. EEEK!!

Not one minute after killing Cas, Lucifer snapping Bobby’s neck like it was nothing. Okay, seriously beginning to wonder if anyone was going to survive this episode.

Dean telling Sam, even as Lucifer was beating the living daylights out of him, that he wasn’t going to leave him. Oh my god….there are no words for what that did to me.

The montage of the boys ending in Dean hugging Sam, all of it happening after Sam spots the little toy soldier and manages to get a grip on Lucifer. Him telling Dean “it’s going to be okay Dean, I’ve got him” was another moment that just killed me.

Dean watching not only one brother have to dive into hell, but both of them, as Sam is forced to take Michael/Adam with him when Michael tries to stop him.

The friggin’ scary good job the makeup department did on Jensen’s face. I found myself unable to look at him, especially when he was sitting on the ground after everyone in the world he cared about had just been killed or sent to hell.

Cas returning??? New and improved!! Bringing back Bobby and healing Dean!! Holy cow!

Aw, so cute the way Dean asked if Cas was God.

Chuck’s comments about how hard endings are and that no matter how much you try “the fans are always gonna bitch”. LOL! Too true.

Cas pointing out to Dean that he actually got what he wanted since they never wanted the battle between Lucifer and Michael to happen on earth, taking out all of humanity with it no matter who won.

Dean fulfilling his promise and going off to live the life that Sam asked him to, even though everything in his being said to go find Sam. The way his voice broke when he told Lisa that he’d like to take her up on that offer of a beer practically broke my heart, as did the hug. I guess he does have someone now to turn to.

Chuck disappearing in a poof?? WTF? Okay so the moment that happened I jumped up and yelled “Chuck is God???!!” because it was the first thing that came to mind. After all, he knew everything that was going to happen and that little “poof” of his was different than the way we’ve seen any other creature disappear on the show so far. No matter what, he is something new, even if he’s not God himself. But for now, that’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.

Sam watching Dean living his new life? Or was that Lucifer? WTF? Okay I gotta admit that one threw me, I so wasn’t expecting that and I have no idea what it means. Is Sam out? Is Lucifer coming for Dean?? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Overall an epic episode that is sending this series off in a whole new direction.

The second to last episode of this season of Supernatural has become my new favorite. The Apocalypse is nearly upon Sam and Dean and the rest of the ‘good guy’ team and it’s game time. They have to get the final two Horsemen’s rings so that they can set the trap for Lucifer. Sam’s plan is to say yes so that he can try and fight back enough to make Lucifer jump in it (killing himself in the process). Meanwhile Cas has turned up alive, but is stripped of his angel powers and fearful that he is no longer useful to them. Oh and Bobby has sold his soul to a demon.

Sounds like a pretty normal day in the world of the Winchesters.

But there is some good news as well. Crowley is holding up his end of his and Bobby’s deal, not only giving them Death’s location (and his scythe!) but also giving Bobby his legs back. They manage to get Pestilence’s ring and miraculously Death actually surrenders his. Everything is set up for the battle of the century (and maybe the millennia) and now we’ll just have to wait until next week to see what happens.

Highlights….

Pestilence counting down to the second when the poor lady was going to die. So fiendish, but I just love the way Matt Frewer played that whole scene. I’ve loved that guy ever since he was in Max Headroom.

Cas calling Dean. So happy he’s alive. Yay!

The whole phone call between Dean and Cas. Everything from how Cas (as always) matter-of-factly delivered his unusual news (being found on a fishing boat, waking up in a hospital after the docs thought he was brain dead), to finding out that he was basically human now that his batteries have been tapped out. I’ve heard Misha say that he made a deliberate choice to play Cas differently due to him not being human (like purposely not blinking, for instance), and I noticed that in this scene in particular (despite being laid up in a hospital bed), Cas was much more animated than normal. Very interesting to watch what he’s doing with that character.

Cas telling Dean that he owed him an apology and that he’s not the “burnt and broken shell of a man” he thought he was…..okay so maybe Cas still has some things to learn about being truly human.

The name of the hospital being ‘Serenity Valley’. They must have gotten that from Firefly and if so, I wonder if they did it as a little nod to the fact that Mark Sheppard (who plays Crowley) also played Badger in that show.

Dean saying that the depressing hospital was probably like ‘Dollywood’ to Pestilence. LOL. Yep, that’s probably true.

Pestilence completely losing his cool when one of his minions suggests that they follow orders not to mess with the vessels. Whoa.

Sam and Dean (literally) falling down ill just by coming near Pestilence. Gotta say, I didn’t realize that would happen. Yikes.

Pestilence giving the boys not only scarlet fever and meningitis but also…..syphilis? Okay that’s just not nice. (A very rude joke about Dean probably already getting syphilis comes to mind, but I’m not gonna say it, as that would be mean).

Cas busting in the door to save the day, only to fall down too, but then fighting back and cutting off Pestilence’s ring. I adored his little “maybe just a speck” line. Go Cas!

Cas saying “I don’t understand your definition of good news” when Bobby told them that Chicago was about to be destroyed.

The way Sam just had to ask “Did you kiss him?” and Dean yelling at him to get him back to the important part of the conversation. It was such a great ‘little brother/big brother’ moment.

Bobby telling them he didn’t kiss Crowley….and Crowley showing them a pic!! LOL!!

“Why’d you take a picture?”
“Why do you have to use tongue?”
*Sam and Dean’s heads swivel from Crowley and back to Bobby with matching looks of shocked curiosity* (OMG!! I was dying!)

Getting a peek into the Impala’s trunk again. Man, it’s been a while since we’ve seen her rear end……um wait, that didn’t come out right. I mean we haven’t seen the stash of weapons back there in a while.

Crowley’s “and……scene” at the end of Sam’s sad speech about how he’s the least of everyone else but the best chance they have. I love it when the writers poke fun at themselves and there’s no doubt they were doing it there, considering how many times they’ve written scenes where the boys have a heart to heart while leaning against the Impala. Genius.

The scene introducing us to Death. I have loved that song (‘Oh Death’ by Jen Titus) ever since it appeared in the preview at the beginning of this season and I’m so glad they actually used it in the show. I loved that it was all in slow motion, I loved that it was a nice long cut of the song and I loved that we never really got to see Death’s face. Such a perfect scene and very eerie.

Poor Cas feeling useless without his angel powers and getting a pep talk (of sorts) from Bobby.

Sam asking Dean if he remembers when they used to hunt wendigos and how simple things were back then. I have been thinking the same thing myself recently. Maybe they were giving us a foreshadowing of next year. Something tells me that after all this Apocalypse stuff they might just go back to some good ol’ fashioned hunts next season. I think that would be awesome. It’s been a long time since the boys just were out there “saving people, hunting things – the family business”.

Crowley giving Dean Death’s scythe. Holy crap!

Crowley telling Bobby about his little secret clause in their contract and making Bobby walk again!! DOUBLE HOLY CRAP!!! I so did not see that coming!! Yay Bobby! That was so awesome and the way they did it was perfect. I always expected Bobby to somehow walk again but I was afraid of how it would happen, that it would be too unrealistic (yes I know that sounds weird when talking about this show but y’all know what I mean).

Cas telling Sam that he and Dean have a way of exceeding his expectations. LOL, that just struck me as hilarious.

Finding out that Sam will have to drink demon blood again in order to take in Lucifer. Jeesh! Can it get any worse???

Sam and Bobby taking out a whole warehouse full of zombies and demons, especially the way Sam kept saving more and more people. Go Sam! That’s our boy!

Crowley popping back into the Impala to repeat what he said to Dean from across the street. I’ll tell ya, there are plenty of times I can think of where I wish I had that particular talent.

Cas discovering that maybe he (and his sawed off shotgun) can be useful, after blowing away a zombie that was choking Sam.

The look on Dean’s face when he noisily dropped the scythe as he was trying to sneak up on Death. Too funny. Sometimes Jensen can look like such a little boy and that was one of those times.

The funny little affirmative raise of the eyebrows that Dean did when Death asks him if he likes the pizza.

Finding out that Death has been enslaved to Lucifer and because he wants out, offering Dean his ring to help take out the devil. Okay yeah, there’s something I didn’t see coming either. Nicely done show, you’ve managed to surprise me a few times this ep.

The sexy way that the Impala was parked in the background behind Bobby and Dean in the final scene. Um…..is it wrong that I just called a car ‘sexy’?

Bobby describing Sam as “ass-full of character defects”. LOL! That is the best description ever. I’m totally gonna steal that. I think all of us could be described as that at least some of the time.

The way the show ended when Bobby asked the ultimate question of Dean, whether he was afraid of losing…..or of losing his brother. Wow.

Overall definitely one of the best episodes of the season, with all of our favorite characters plus some new ones that were fantastic as well.

Okay so this review is a day late because frankly I didn’t know where to begin and also, I needed some extra time to think about the episode. I was a bit disappointed in it but it had nothing to do with the episode itself. Have no fear, this is still a positive review.

I was disappointed for purely personal and selfish reasons. Like I’ve been saying all along, I want Jensen to play Michael!Dean just because he’s a freaking awesome actor and I think he could do some amazing stuff playing a vengeful angel inside a character he’s been playing for the past five seasons.

So when the end of the episode came and that didn’t happen….yeah, I was sad. But I got over it as I watched the episode again (this time without sitting there waiting, wishing and hoping for Michael to come) and I saw how great it was. Tons of drama, action and even a little bit of comedy, it was every bit of what makes this show awesome.

From Pissed!Cas (who, I have to admit, I now like better than Drunk!Cas) kicking Dean’s ass all the way up and down a dark alley, to Sam putting all his faith in Dean, to Adam making a return and his attitude (as Bobby said) fitting right in with his brothers – all of it made an episode that was the perfect showcase for the show’s 100th.

Highlights….

Zachariah discussing his “job” with another loser in a random bar.

Dean preparing himself to become Michael’s vessel; writing a letter (to Sam I assume), packing up his treasured possessions (gun, jacket, keys to the Impala) and drinking a lot.

Sam knowing exactly where Dean was going on his “farewell tour”, knowing exactly where to find him……and bringing reinforcements in the form of one very pissed off angel.

Dean telling Bobby “you’re not my father”. Man, you know he must be messed up when he’s willing to hurt Bobby like that. Then Bobby telling him that the only reason HE hasn’t given up is because he promised Dean. Only a few minutes in and the drama is already cranked up to about 9.5.

Cas showing some major skillz as he took down a couple angels at the gravesite.

Dean asking Adam if he got to third base in his version of heaven. One track mind much, Dean? Even in the face of certain death, that man still has sex on the brain. LOL. Gotta love him.

Dean telling Cas to blow him. OH MY GAWD!!! ROTFLMAO!

Finding out that they’re working on (according to Dean) “the power of love” to defeat Lucifer. Wow, okay so now I’m totally waiting for a Huey Lewis to show up and start singing (what can I say? I love that song).

“Cas, not for nothin’ but the last person who looked at me like…..I got laid.” – Tears people, I was laughing so hard I was in tears over that. Dean and Cas in this ep were SO fantastic!

Dean struggling when Sam asked him why they can’t stick together. Because it turns out that the truth is that he doesn’t believe that Sam can fight off Lucifer. The reason he’s decided to let Michael have control is that he knows Sam will say yes to Lucifer. Dean knows that when it happens, he has to be the one to fight him. Wow….just, wow. More tears except these were definitely not laugh ones.

Dean managing to escape by getting one up on Cas and blowing him away. Can I say wow again? Cuz that’s about all I can think of. If he thought Cas was mad at him before….oh boy.

Zach manipulating Adam into telling him where he was. Not a surprise but still, very cold-blooded to tell the kid that Dean and Sam don’t care about him. Especially considering the angels are counting on the exact opposite being true so that they can trap Dean.

“I’m Dean Winchester, do you know who I am?”
“Dear God!”
“I’ll take that as a yes.” – once again, laughing my arse off here. Then again I can’t blame the guy. I mean if Dean came up to me on the street and introduced himself like that I doubt my reaction would be much different.

Pissed!Cas giving Dean a smackdown for wanting to give in and say yes to Michael. I know it’s completely inappropriate but yeah, I kinda found that hot. Although my heart totally went out to him when he screamed “I rebelled for THIS!?” – poor Cas. He has given up a lot and it is pretty hard to watch these two at odds with each other.

Laughing at the fact that Adam’s choice for a last meal was pretty much the same as Dean’s. Does that mean that if Sam were put in that room, there’d be nothing but lattes and big bowls of salad? Just sayin’.

“Word to the wise, don’t piss of the nerd angels.” – LOL! I hear ya Dean.

Sam putting his faith in Dean, even when Dean can’t do the same for him.

Finding out that the “beautiful room” is in an abandoned muffler factory in Van Nuys. Who knew it was so close? Road trip!

Cas telling Dean that he doesn’t have the same faith in him that Sam does and admitting that he’d rather basically commit suicide (by taking on five angels) than watch him get taken over by Michael. Once again, wow.

Cas’ completely ingenious, totally insane way to take out all the angels by putting a sigil on his own chest. Considering how powerful those things are I can’t even begin to imagine what that would have done to him. Is he trapped forever now? EEEK!!

How easy it was for Zach to get Dean precisely where he wanted him, with his brothers lying on the floor in their own blood and seemingly no other choice left. Even though he had already decided it, when the time came you could see how much it hurt him to finally say the words.

The looks exchanged between Sam and Dean as Dean decided he couldn’t let his brother down and taking out Zachariah. Yes I know I’ve said I wanted Dean to say yes but I still cheered when he shoved the knife through Zachariah’s throat.

Wondering what it means now that Michael apparently took Adam.

Dean vowing to get not only Adam back, but Cas too.

Finding out that the reason Dean changed his mind is because he didn’t want to let Sam down and him realizing that if his little brother could do that for him, the least he could do was return the favor.

The boys vowing to “do it our way” and the way the ep ended with them driving off into the night, rockin’ music playing in the background.

*APPLAUSE!*

Overall I was very pleased with the 100th episode of Supernatural. It may not have ended the way I wanted but I’m always talking about how much I like surprises so I’m gonna appreciate that for what it was, a big surprise (to me anyway). Can’t wait to see what happens in the last few eps of the season and how this arc is finally gong to play itself out.

Well it looks like it’s finally going to happen, folks. What I’ve been waiting for ever since it was revealed that Michael was the only one who can take on Lucifer and Dean was Michael’s vessel.

It looks like Dean is finally going to say yes.

It’s been a long haul for the boys, the events in last night’s episode apparently being the straw that finally broke Dean’s back. He and Sam have done everything they could (and Cas too) to try and stop the Apocalypse any other way, but all that has happened is more lives being lost. And considering the whole point Dean had in saying “no” in the first place was to do exactly opposite to that, it looks like he’s had enough. If people are going to die one way or another, why not go ahead and get it over with?

Now I know what some people are thinking – “oh no! But Dean can’t fight Luficer! Then he’d have to kill Sam!”. Not so my friends. Lucifer is in another vessel right now. I think Dean/Michael can fight him right where he is, without harming Sam.

This is just my opinion of how it looks like things are panning out for the eldest Winchester, but we’ll of course just have to wait and see what actually happens.

Highlights….

The show diving straight into the action without letting us know what Sam and Dean were up against. Made the whole sequence very exciting.

The boys meeting a group of people who try to tell THEM that the Apocalypse is coming. Ha!

This line: “A town full of hunters? I don’t know whether to run screaming or buy a condo.” – LOL!

Dean telling the girl that she was the cutest Prophet they’ve ever seen……..aw but how about Chuck? He’s pretty cute too, right Dean?

Cas’ outgoing voicemail message – “I don’t understand, why do you want me to say my name?” – OMG! Absolutely freaking hilarious.

Sam and Dean finally getting to experience going into a fight with tons of backup. Pretty cool to see them fight along side a whole group of people with the same skills.

Dean telling the kid that he could have a ride in the Impala since he’d already saved his life and that “one more time and you can drive.” – Aww!

Sam pointing out to Dean that the town had just outlawed 90% of his lifestyle.

Watching the fight slowly going out of Dean as he begins to wonder if maybe he’s made the wrong choice…and watching Sam realize that’s precisely what’s happening to his brother.

Drunk!Cas – “I found a liquor store…and I drank it.” – LOL!!!

Watching how the words from one girl are able to change people from good, God-fearing citizens to murderers. Yikes.

Dean’s reaction to Drunk!Cas announcing that the girl is “The Whore!”. Classic.

Drunk!Cas: “It’s funnier in Enochian.” – so deadpan, so perfect, so very Cas.

Cas delivering his “I’m an angel of the Lord” line, but this time sounding so bereft that I just wanted to give him a hug. Poor Cas.

Dean and Cas bonding over “deadbeat dads” – Aw. (though a part of me did cringe at Dean calling John that – *sad face*)

That whole final action sequence – The Whore taking down Cas, Sam and Dean trying to stop her and the townspeople from lighting the room on fire with the “sinners” in it. Wow, very exciting.

DEAN being able to take out The Whore?? Right then and there I knew that something had definitely changed in him. He had already made up his mind about what he was going to do, even if he didn’t realize it yet.

Poor Cas lying on the bed in the hotel room. I couldn’t tell if he was just depressed or still recovering from his injuries (or both), but it was a little unnerving to see him like that. Our once all-powerful angel has been knocked around a lot this season. Then again, I kinda like it though. I like seeing him a bit more vulnerable, it makes him more….well, human.

Dean driving all the way to see Lisa as the last thing he does before (I assume) he gives in to the angels and Michael. Admitting to her, without actually saying the words, that she is his true love and her life is the life he always wanted. And that he’s making “arrangements” for her and Ben. In case you were all wondering, that noise you just heard was pieces of my heart falling on the floor…. *whimpers a little*

Overall another powerful episode full of more horrible things that are about to send Dean off to do the one thing I’m sure he thought he’d never do. I am now more excited than ever to see next week’s ep, especially since it will be the show’s 100th. Who ever thought we’d get here, eh?
