SPN 6:05: Live Free or Twihard

[oselle]

That sucked. No pun intended. I mean it really sucked. It's not even worth doing my usual blabbity-blah because it just sucked.

You may be thinking that I thought it sucked because we now know beyond any doubt that Sam not only doesn't care about Dean but will actively put him in harm's way, even to the point of being killed. Actually, it's even worse than that, he's willing to use Dean as some sort of...science experiment. He's a paranormal Dr. Mengele. Okay so, point taken: Dean means nothing to Sam except for however Sam can exploit him to satisfy whatever sick curiosity. Got it.

What sucks is that I know that none of this will matter. It will never receive a satisfactory explanation or resolution, Sam will be unjustifiably exonerated, Dean will apologize for... something, and Sera Gamble will give an interview talking about how cool it all is. THAT, my friends, is what sucks.

ETA: Oh, and what was that "maybe your brother has some Campbell in him after all" crap? Shut the fuck up, gramps. Where were you when the apocalypse was going down, big shot? Hiding out at your compound with the rest of your sociopath douchebag militia?

Oh, this. This, this, this. I am actually interested up to a point… but this makes it utterly clear that there is something influencing Sam, because otherwise they can't possibly hope to get back to the brotherly dynamic. And that's where my interest fizzles and dies, because part of this surely needs to be Sam owning his actions and repenting. But, nah it never is: he's soulless, or dissociative, or maybe he isn't really Sam. Something's wrong with Sam – it must be Friday. Yawn, so widely it just gave me a temporomandibular joint disorder that means my jaw will click loudly for the rest of my life every time I open my mouth too wide.

On another show, this final destruction of one of the main characters would be gripping. On this show? Not so much. If they're going to make Sam this bad then the only way I see out of it is to have Dean gank him by the end of the season.

Heh. And then they'll just resurrect Sam. And whaddya know: he won't be 100% pure Sammy any more… Seriously though, I wonder if they would go there? I've read that JA has signed on for a possible S7, but has JP? Maybe they might… I actually think a Dean-Cas partnership for S7 could be the shot in the arm Show needs at this point.

I'm reading such great reviews for AMC's The Walking Dead and while I realize that the CW has nowhere near the budget to mount that kind of effort, I do so wish they'd gone with the apocalypse this season. Now THAT would have been a shot in the arm.

I dream of Show on HBO…

Look, he was in hell! The BAD part of hell! For nearly 15 minutes! It changed him! He's in pain and then he sacrificed to give Dean the life he wanted! Etc. etc. etc.

Oh yes, he sacrificed for a whole year to give Dean the life he wanted only to drag him back into hunting for no reason and then stand there twirling his metaphorical mustache while Dean gets turned into the undead. What. The Fuck. Oh wait, right...the bad part of hell, not the "penthouse." Got it.

Fifteen whole minutes! I totes forgot that! :-D

[oselle.livejournal.com]

Someone do the math...if every month on earth equals 10 hell years, then what does 15 earth minutes equal?

ETA: I'm coming up with 30 hours. By Sam's reckoning, he was in hell for just a hair over one day. Cakewalk.

[zatnikatel.livejournal.com]

But don't forget, it was the bad part of Hell. O_O

Dean was in the good part…

30 hours is what I got, too. Or rather 29 2/3 ;).
