Oh Kripke, I love you

*peeks out*

Has the SPN fandom exploded yet?

*G* That fangirl cracked me the hell up. Seriously. There's so much meta in this show I wouldn't even know where to begin.

But I just have to say this:

Mark Pellegrino is a damn fine actor, but he's not pretty enough to be Lucifer

WTF, casting department?

But I liked it.




In other news, my Criminal Minds DVDs arrived today. Why do I constantly expect gag reels to be funny instead of full of weird pranks? *sigh*

Okay, I'm taking my headachy, congested self to bed now.

Yes...a run down would be nice.

Also, is Bobby still cool with Dean? I mean, I like Sam and all, but I think Dean has more of a need for some type of paternal figure in his life.

The cool people of spn_reviews do better than I do (last night's is here) but I will do my best. :D

So Sam and Dean are in the old monastery with Lucifer breaking free, all painful white light and painful noise (remember how Castiel was in his first episode)--and then suddenly they're on a plane flying over the place where they were, and this huge column of white light shoots up into the sky past the plane. Then they're in a car, and apparently that whole place was decimated. They find Chuck, whose house is wrecked. The archangels blew Castiel apart, he tells them--literally, as he has a molar in his hair.

Zacharias and his goons show up then and tell Dean that they're on the same side again (Dean responds by calling Zacharias an ass-hat). They argue for a while and then Dean banishes them with that sigil drawn in his own blood.

They have an angsty conversation about their brotherly split, during which Dean's position is to basically not rehash it. He says they need to approach this like any other case. So they have to find the Devil.

They end up in a rundown hotel (called the Regent Inn, which amuses me both because of the royalty image and because I have a series of original novels set around a place called Regent's Castle). Bobby arrives and they're reading to find out about the apocalypse.

Switch to a fangirl writing Sam/Dean slash on a Winchester fansite, one of Chuck's fangirls. Chuck calls her on a webcam and tells her that it's all real (cue literal fangirl squee) and that he needs her to take a message to Sam & Dean because he has a prophecy but he's being watched.

She goes to the hotel, where she gushes over Sam and won't stop touching him, and tells Dean he's not what she imagined. Chuck's prophecy is that the Sword of Michael is at a castle built on a hill of forty-two dogs. None of them know what it means.

Sam tells Bobby how he started the apocalypse, at which point Bobby rips him a new one, tells him that sort of thing isn't forgiven, and tells him to lose his number once this is over. Sam is devastated and goes away. Dean and Bobby do a little more and then Dean realizes that Daddy Winchester knew where the sword was -- there's a business card in the Journal that is for Castle Storage at 42 Rover Lane.

That's when Bobby kicks DEAN'S ass. Only for real, throwing him into walls and stuff, and we realize Bobby has black eyes. Demon!Bobby lets in three other demons, including a chicky who identifies herself as Meg in a new body. Sam comes back but is surprised. The demons do some general ass-kicking, then Meg gives Bobby the knife and tells him to kill Dean.

Instead Bobby stabs himself in the side with the knife, killing the demon. They take out the two thug demons, but Meg flees her vessel's body. The boys rush Bobby to the emergency room and then split.

When they get to Castle storage, they find lots of dead bodies and no sword. Then Zacharias and two goon angels show up and inform Dean that HE is the sword of Michael--Michael's vessel. Dean tells them to eat him, and Zacharias breaks Sam's legs. Then, as Dean continues to refuse, Zacharias gives Dean Stage IV stomach cancer and then takes away Sam's lungs.

At that point there's a flash of light and we realize that Castiel, who is alive and a total BAMF instead of being dead, has just used the knife to kill one of the angels. He fights and kills teh other angel, then tells Zacharias to put the boys right. Z asks Castiel how he is alive, to which Castiel responds that he doesn't know and counters with another question--how did the boys get on the plane away from Lucifer? (The implication, of course, is that it was God.)

Z decides Castiel is too BAMF for him and fixes the boys and goes away. Castiel touches Sam and Dean's chests and carves a rune of protection into their ribs, telling them it will hide them from all angels.

In the meantime, Lucifer has been circling his vessel--a poor, sad, broken man who is having nightmares of his wife, bloody, in his bed, and his baby's empty crib leaking blood. We find out that the man's family was killed by an armed intruder. Lucifer tells the man that God did this to him, and that God should answer for it. God is obviously either a sadistic puppet-master or indifferent to the plight of humanity. Lucifer argues that his only sin was that of loving God too much. The man asks if Lucifer will return his family if he allows Lucifer to use him. Lucifer says he can't, but that he can at least get him justice for their deaths. The man accepts.

Back at the hospital, Bobby is crotchety and yelling at the orderlies and nurses. He tells Sam that it was the demon saying those things, not him, and that they are always family. Sam and Dean leave him there to recover. On the way out to the car, Sam asks Dean to say what he has to say. Dean says that they'll never be what they were. Sam was the one person Dean could always count on, and he betrayed his own brother to side with a demon. There's no forgiveness for that. At the end of the episode, Dean gets in the car and Sam stands there in the parking lot.
