Hell's Half Acre

Woot! Let's finish the season!

Brother's Keeper

( You'll never, ever, hear me say, that you - the real you - is anything but good. )

WOOT! DONE!

DELETED SCENES

FIRST
Dean in a bar. The bartender (in an empty bar) tells Dean he has an admirer while handing him a shot. When he looks over, it's a bloodied Castiel.
Dean: "And, you've come to apologize?"
Castiel disappears.
Crowley appears.
Crowley: "So this is how you dream. Really? Stale beer, sticky bar. Ugh, what is this, syphillus? The only thing you got right was the bartender."
Dean: "Well, they don't call them dry-dreams for nothing. Now beat it, this is me time."
Crowley: "Sorry, Squirrel, this is really me. Well, me inside your dream, but that's as close as I'm willing to get, since Moose tried to cash my chips."
Dean: "Really, hm. I'm sorry he missed."
Crowley tells Dean about Sam working with Rowena. Crowley blames Dean rejecting his offer to be his right-hand man.
Crowley: "...at the risk of taking this dream in a totally different direction - we complete each other."
Dean: "Ah, Crowley, I'm nothing like you, I never will be."
Crowley: "Actually, you're much worse - insane man, doesn't know he's insane."
*Dean breaks his beer bottle and threatens Crowley*
Dean: "I'm nothing like you."
Crowley snaps Dean awake.
- Obviously, this scene was supposed to go in before we see Dean wake up on the motel room floor.

SECOND
Sam is cleaning up the blood and gasoline in the bunke, and finds the picture in the pile of books.
-I think this was supposed to go in before the bullet-making scene, since he had the pictures on the table in that scene.

THIRD
Castiel questions Rowena wondering why she'd want to kill her own son.
Rowena: "Are you joking?"
Castiel: "No, that would be uncharacteristic of me. Though, I have been told I'm getting funnier."
- Ha, cute.

Rowena tells him that Crowley and Castiel himself have "Winchester derangement syndrome."
Rowena: "...more power than I can possibly dream of, utterly wasted, shattered, at the alter of Winchester. [...] It totally sinkens me to see so much power goes unspent, so much glory unclaimed."
Castiel: "Glory? I've seen glory. I've seen defeat. But I've seen the glory. I have won epic battles and I have reaped vast rewards, and none of it has meant as much to me as the relationships I've formed on earth. Sam and Dean they're like a family to me. Claire Novak, when she smiled at me, nothing, no angelic crusade or victor's bounty, none of that could ever hold a candle to that sweet, crooked smile."
Rowena: "You can't honestly think you're happier now. Broken wings, [suck-up?]."
Castiel: "All I know is that for the first time in a long time, I feel at peace with who I am. Whatever that may be."
Rowena: "A bitch."
Castiel: "Oh, I can assure you, if there is one thing I am not, it is a female dog."
- Oh man, I really like this scene. We get an answer to Castiel's "everyone loves something" comment earlier - Castiel does too! He loves Sam and Dean and also Claire. They're love doesn't even compare to the glory of heaven. It's SUPER SWEET, you guys. I love love.
- It's also insight into why Rowena didn't love Crowley... has rarely loved. She loves power and has chosen to essew love in favour of it.
- Also, this explains why Castiel suggested that Rowena might love Crowley, and then seemed confused when she didn't. Castiel loves a girl who isn't even really his daughter, so I bet he can't fathom someone who actually HAS children not loving them.

And we're done!! Woo!

I'll probaby do another post reviewing the special features, eventually, but yay! S10 rewatch finished BEFORE S11 ends. Good job, me.

Alrigh, after nearly a month away, it's time that I actually accept the fact that I eventually have to watch this episode and I might as well get it over with.

So...

Dark Dynasty

( No. This call is pointless. My ride's here )

Sorry this review is more negative than usual. I do generally try to enjoy the things I watch and not be a huge complainy person...but yeah.... I also just have to be honest and this just is one of my least favourite episodes/plot-devices. It sucks, because there are a really good one-liners, and I think Jensen and Jared both do a fantastic acting job... but alas.

I'll try to do another rewatch either tomorrow or on the weekend, and then finish up the rewatches before May. 

So much for getting one of these done during the week. To be fair, I've had a busy week. Also, I knew this episode would probably take me a bit. Of course, today I'm a little under the weather (ETA: this turned out to be an understatement), so we'll have to see if I can still think coherently.

The Werther Project

( No one needs to know, Dean. What happens in Purgatory, stays in Purgatory. )

Yay! That didn't take me as long as I thought, but I still couldn't have done it with whatever degree fever I had when I first tried. It was a good episode, but not as dicussiony as I was expecting. Perhaps that leaves it more open to you guys to be discussiony in comments. :)

New SPN tomorrow, so I'll catch most of you then!

Rewatch! This time, it's an Andrew Dabb episode. He's writing the finale this year, as a change of pace - so, should be interesting!

Inside Man

( 'Family don't end in blood', but it don't start there either. )

Well, that was a meal of an episode.

Rewatch time!

The Things They Carried

( Deano, would you do me the honour of tying me to this chair? )


See you guys tomorrow for the new episode! :)

Another weekend, another rewatch - we're one away from possibly my favourite episode of the season... so, that's good. But first, we have to see if there's anything interesting to say about...

Halt and Catch Fire

( So this is it. You're just going to give up. )


And there we have it. Good times. Short write-up.

The most interesting thing I learned: I desperately need a Sassy icon. I don't have one. This is a travesty.

Next rewatch probably won't be until February, because I am visiting family next weekend.

Charlie Episode Time!!!

(And yes, I'm aware that I'm going to have a LOT of trouble with an episode towards the end of this season - thankfully, we aren't there yet. In the mean time...)

There's No Place Like Home

( Is she back from Oz? She didn't call? )

CUT SCENES
( Sometimes you have to do the bad thing to do the good thing. )

COMMENTARY!
Commentary is with Robbie Thompson (Writer), Felicia Day (Charlie), and Phil Sgricca (Director)

( That's the iPhone 12, because Supernatural has to take place in the future because we jump so many years. )

And done! See you next weekend for another! In the meantime, I hope Hellatus is going okay for you. :)

It's going to be hard to follow up Hibbing 911, which is why I have to admit that I've been putting off doing the rewatch for this episode. BUT, the show much go on and this episode does bring up some interesting themes and points...

...I actually did this episode in 2 sessions. The first, which is when I wrote the above intro, occurred on Dec 22nd. I then ran out of time... and then my Christmas Job happened and I was pretty much run off my feet for six days. Now, this part that I'm writing, and everything that occurs after the 25:50 mark in the episode, is being done on Dec 30th. Hopefully it's not disjointed.

The Things We Left Behind

( Hey, uh, tell him about that time in New York )

And done! That only took me two sessions and more than a week. Thanks a lot CHRISTMAS JOB! :P

Next one should be done sooner.

I hope you all had a great Christmas! And I hope you have a great New Years Eve!

Rewatch time...

Girls, Girls, Girls

( I know how my story ends - it's at the edge of a blade or the barrel of a gun. )


And there we go! I'll try to remember to do one on the weekend - otherwise these will never get done. :P

Don't worry, I didn't forget about you! (Okay, I sorta did...)

I did this one in two parts, watching the episode on Sunday and writing down what I wanted to talk about and then actually talking about those things on Monday - so hopefully this comes off like the other ones and not disjointed.

FAN FICTION

( Theatre is about life, you know, truth - truth! Where is the truth in Supernatural? )

DELETED SCENES!
( "I like hot guys and monsters - mostly hot guys. Mostly Dean." )


SPECIAL FEATURE

SUPERNATURAL THEATRE: Staging the 200th Episode

( "I thought it was an opportunity, since we were setting it in a high school anyways, to show a little more diversity in our fandom." )

And there we have the epicness that is the 200th episode!! As usual, tell me your own thoughts and interpretations in comments - and please forgive me my spelling mistakes. My spellchecker doesn't work and spelling isn't my strong suit.
