This is what I took away from that episode:

1) Jesus Christ, Jensen Ackles with no shirt on is lethal. That was hot beyond hot. That scene will launch a jillion icons. I'm actually glad they doused it with that corny Titanic-inspired hand-on-the-car-window bit at the end because...phew. I hear spontaneous combustion is a really ugly way to go. Close one, there.

2) Jesus Christ, Jensen Ackles cries beautifully.

Other than that I have no idea what that episode was about. Or what any of it meant. What?

Anyone want to take a crack at explaining it? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?


ETA: When SPN goes off the air, can Castiel get a spinoff? No, really. Castiel suffers almost as beautifully as Dean.

I CRIED. I cried with him! I dunno! I'm weak, and he is so stupendously redonkulously beautiful EVEN WHEN HE CRIES, I just. I CRIED! DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAANNNNNN!

[oselle.livejournal.com]

I KNOW!! Damn him for making me forget the hot messness of the previous fifty minutes!!!

But seriously...WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT!?

[janissa11.livejournal.com]

Welll, ahhhh. There was Dean's bare back. And a Titanic shoutout. And fisticuffs. And Castiel looking at Dean like, "But wait, he's MINE. MINE I SAY."

And some dude with a really familiar face and a really wonky accent, who did Bad Things to Dean in Hell.

And Mothra. And Godzilla. Except they didn't do bad things to Dean, because they weren't in Hell. I don't think.

And there was an angel chick. Um.

DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAANNNN. WHYYYYY did Sam not HUG HIM???

I dunno, man, that's all I got. I don't know why angels keep their goodness in trees and little pendants, and I sure didn't know that if you got cast out of Heaven you could get back in if you just went on a quick scavenger hunt. I still don't grok why Cas and Uriel wanted to kill Anna. I get why Alistair wanted her, just -- y'know. And who IS Alistair, that he's more powerful than an angel?

I give up. DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN...............

I spent the entire first half of this episode just PRAYING that Anna wasn't going to get her "grace" back via fucking. I mean, I know fucking Dean Winchester must be a transcendent experience but that? Would have been a GIANT FUCKING SHARK TANK with Fonzie flying right the fuck over it, not to mention OMG Philip Pullman flashback and if you've never read Philip Pullman count yourself lucky and PLEASE don't get me started.

Thank God for DEAN'S BEAUTIFUL MAN TEARS because OMG.

DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAANNNN. WHYYYYY did Sam not HUG HIM???

OH GOD EM, I WAS WAITING FOR HIM TO DO THAT!! And he didn't!! Not even a hand on the shoulder, NOTHING!! Sam Winchester, you're a fucking idiot.

The more I think about this ep the more confused I get. So I'm going to focus on Dean's weeping. Except when I see it again I'm gonna bawl like a miserable baby. AGAIN.

[oselle.livejournal.com]

Can we just have 40 minutes of Dean crying? Because that would make a lot more sense than anything else in this ep, not to mention be a lot more entertaining.

::waves hand:: Got MY vote.

Also, I'm reaaaaalllly wanting some Castiel/Dean now. Just -- that look on Cas's face there t'ords the end. Awwwwww.

Jensen just continues to knock me flat. This ep had all the emotional power that last week's didn't. SERA GAMBLE NEEDS TO FIND ANOTHER SHOW TO DAMAGE. ASAP PLSKTHX.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I really want to see Dean pouring his heart out to Castiel about hell and Castiel just melting over Dean's BEAUTIFUL SUFFERING OMG.

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

I think if Dean speaks to Castiel, Castiel will hug him. Unlike Sam. :(

AGREED ON ALL POINTS.

TITANIC SAVED MY OVARIES FROM CERTAIN DESTRUCTION

[oselle.livejournal.com]

I know. I went from "OMG THIS IS UNBEARABLY HOT!" to hearing Celine Dion bawling "My Heart Will Go On" in my head and damn, that's better than a cold shower.

[pensive]

I ...

I had flashbacks to a little adventure from last week. That doubled the hotness by exponential amounts (as the guy I was with was blonde-ish, hot, and I'm a redhead. No Impala tho heheee)

His back is a work of art. When he sort of twisted to one side? Good lord, I just . . . *jaw-drop.*

And the last scene was heart-rending. He's a damn-fine actor, along with being lethally beautiful.

[oselle.livejournal.com]

Totally agreed. He's just stunning on many, many levels.

I just posted my reactions. And then I came here and find out that we are one in regards to this ep. My overall feeling was "Huh?"

But Dean crying - eeeeeee! Why the HELL did Sam not hug him? Whassa matter with the big lug?

[akankshaa.livejournal.com]

You summarized my feelings exactly...especially about the bad reference to the Titanic...I was definitely about to blow (Dean, no t-shirt...man, even just thinking about it now...)

And the tears at the end just broke my heart. I just want to hold him tight and tell him everything will be ok! (even though all we can do now is wait and see where Kripke leads us, cause I sure as hell can't figure it out...I mean I could not even figure out a simple thing like...was Anna's disobedience the fact that she cut her grace out, or did she cut it after she had already disobeyed, to prevent being killed?) Too many thinky thoughts - I am going back to just picturing Dean in the back of Impala :)

Thank goodness for Dean's back and Dean's tears. And Castiel.

1. Sam, I love you, but sometimes you're a complete moron.

2. nghasaslkdjf DEAN. And me a Sam girl and all. Again, I'd love to be witty and/or eloquent, but my brain has melted.

3. How disturbing/wrong/just plain kinky is it that I found the whole NewBody!Ruby in the leather straps bit gorgeous? Aside from the torture bit, I mean.

I think this episode is about 'free will.
God created humans and granted us free will,angels only have obedience. I think the angels might be a little jealous.
Sam,Dean,Anna and Ruby worked together and outsmarted both angels and demons. I think the fact that they were willing to work together totally confused both angels and demons.
I don't think we've seen the last of Castiel,Uriel, or Alistair.
The final comment about Anna leads me to wonder if she made it back to heaven.

The final scene had me in tears.. Jensen pulled it off beautifully. He had out as long as he could, if you remember what Ruby told him(jeez I can't remember the episode title), that when he'd been in hell awhile he'd change, if he hadn't been pulled out her prophecy would have come true!! How scary is that.
Now I wonder how John was changed,if at all.
