Just so people know - i am high on Show!Love, and have nothing but praise for Show. That being said, there are spoilers here for the very newest episode.



OMG.

'Show is unsubtle'
'Show is so full of anvils'

Um. DUH? Do you actually think that, in real life, people are all subtle, crafty, secretive and sneaky? Sam saying he loved his Dad was an 'anvil'? WHAT? Yes, we know he loved his dad. HE NEVER GOT TO SAY IT. For fuck's sake - if you're father had died with him, in your opinion, thinking you hated him, and you got the chance to say to him that you loved him, that you got it, that you forgave him...wouldn't you? I mean, SERIOUSLY, would you just emote in the corner and grit your teeth and never say a word?

If you say 'yes', i call utter shite. People - life is messy, and unsubtle, and full of the obvious. It's how we are. It makes for moments of high comedy, high drama, and utter ridiculous, but it is life.

And, more to the point, this is tv life. As the man said:"Drama is that willing suspension of disbelief for the moment, which constitutes poetic faith."

I have willingly suspended my disbelief. I have poetic faith.



Whew. There.

I'm not averse to people disagreeing with me, and in fact love a good back-and-forth but/rebut kind of thing. (Although probably not tonight, as i am sick as a dog, day freakin' three or four or something and Jayzus Christ, this is getting old....) But if you come in here to harangue or get nasty, i shall smite you.

I've already decided I'm not going to read anything that could be even remotely negative about this episode. I love it SO MUCH, it made me happy in ways I haven't felt since Sam and Dean both LIVED at the end of S4, that I'm just not going to risk it. I usually read most of flist's thoughts on the ep...but there are so many people right now that are unhappy with so many things with Show...and I can't go there. I need my happy, dammit.

In other words, YES. *wry grin*

*pets you gently*

Get over this cold already, damnit!

And yes yes yes yes. To everything else. Real life is messy, dirty, raw, sometimes stupid and full of wonder. And if the Show gives us even a little bite of that every week along with the supernatural ... I'm incredibly happy. And well satisfied.

And what I would give to go back and say things to people I've lost. Or just a chance to say I'm sorry to people that i've wronged.

on another note? Comatose!Castiel! I want a passed out/do anything for me/cute as hell angel of my own.

*ahem*

*cuddles you close*

I am right there with you.
I've found something to like in almost every ep.
I'm just here for the love man. THE LOVE

Yes to every word. And the scene with Sam and John--you'd have to have a heart of stone not to be moved by that.

The love of the show! Get your mind out of the gutter.
Oh wait.... never mind I forgot who I was talking to.
Leave it right there it works for you. ;)

Some people are happiest when they're stirring up shit and harshing others' squee. It's a sad and irritating fact of life. AND IT PISSES ME OFF.

I'm squeeful enough for three people tonight.

I missed the episode. Was it good? :)

Heeee! I love everything you just said.

AMEN.

*raises hand* I have bitched about Show's anvils in the past, because, well, they fall hard and fast sometimes *hee!* but I enjoyed the heck out of this episode! I thought Sam's talk was awesome and believable (what would someone give, man? To be able to say that to your dead relatives? Yeah) and, well, I actually kind of enjoyed Castiel, which is a miracle for me.

Dude, people complained Sam got to have a goodbye? Damn, that's harsh.
All I could do was try to not start crying!

I loved that scene with Sam and John! I didn't think it unrealistic at all - it was very appropriate for Sam, with how his relationship with his father was left and actually being able to verbalize something about that? I think anyone would take that chance, but I'd also believe it of Sam specifically - of the two, he's the more likely to say what he feels, and he has in the past in other situations.

You make a very good point about life being like that, too. :D I approve of this post. ;)

hope you feel better!
