Goooooorgeous movie poster picspam.

You know how sometimes I say that when this show's good, it's really good? Well that episode was really fucking good. Like, from start to finish, I loved almost everything about it. Jensen Ackles needs to win some kind of acting award yesterday, because he pitched both present!Dean and future!Dean absolutely flawlessly. Also he's pretty. It's not just that though. The episode balanced edge-of-your-seat tension with the right amount of humour (FUTURE!HIPPIE!CASTIEL FTW) and it was shot beautifullu (just like Croatoan, which I kind of want to go back and watch now.) The showdown between Dean and Lucifer-in-Sam-in-Lex Luther's clothes was amazing (although I do want to know why Dean didn't just ask what made Sam say yes.)
The arc of Dean and Sam's relationship in the episode was pretty damn impressive too. I'm sure they'll tell us eventually, but I think Dean knew that cutting Sam off was where he'd fucked up, that they are stronger together. No matter what stupid things they do, in the end they really only ahve each other to keep the other sane, and they need that. At least, I'm hoping. Did everyone else hear Dean say the L word? He did! I heard him.
And I really, really love Dean. He will keep sticking it to everyone until there's nobody left to stick it to, and even after a crazy ordeal he'll keep making jokes. Oh, also, did I mention that Misha Collins rocks hardcore?? He really did just stand there at the edge of the road for four hours waiting for his appointment with Dean. Win. He did the drugged-out, washed-up version of Castiel so we. "That's how I roll." I'm so sick of everyone calling him Cass, though, I'm half-waiting for someone to break out 'Cassie' and make me lose faith entirely. I think seeing the Impala all busted up was the show's way of showing us even before we saw future!Dean that he was really, really fucked up beyond all caring (again, I'm guessing that's because Sam was gone.)

OH OH AND IT HAD ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SUPERNATURAL THINGS: an awesome music scene. "Do You Love Me" while the army shot up the Croats? AWESOME. The editing and everything, it was so perfect and crazy and violent and wild. I LOVED IT.

The only quibble I have - did they HAVE to imply that the girl had a thing with Dean? Really? She couldn't just be her own person? Or have another girl as well, one who wasn't all into him? Augh.

baldie_troll just linked me to this, which is interesting: Video about sexual objectification in video games & a point of view from a gay gamer perspective. Oversimplified, but intriguing.







What? I like past!you.

I think I could be in love with the idea of a Glee love square if it means more Quinn/Puck and some Puck/Rachel (oohhhh intriguing!). Just... please show, don't turn into Grey's Anatomy where everybody sleeps with everybody else.
