The fight!! Utterly incredible to watch them both. The richness of that history he was drawing from was evident in every word and look. Of course they broke my heart into a million pieces….of course they did. Missouri…so incredibly amazing to see her on our screen again. Look at what happens when you let them go.Īgree in spades! When Sam and Dean had the first argument and Dean stormed off alone I immediately was tense….and I reveled in it!! I also projected onto that scene – as well as onto many of their individual moments throughout – a relief that finally these wonderful actors were being given SHIT TO ACT. I’m very encouraged by the focus on the argument/disagreement between Sam and Dean. It was somewhere else, somewhere not literal.Īll told, I felt it was a very good episode. And I loved how even though it looked like he was floating in the ether, there was a flat space on which he lay – a space you couldn’t see at first. How familiar and yet how … “off.” All of this is to say, I love the pitch-black-floating-indeterminate space Castiel is discovered in. In re-watching Season 4/5, I fell in love all over again with the “green room” set. I never want to see that freakin’ dungeon throne-room again. We were just talking about how awful the set for Hell is, its literal-ness, its cheap-ness. It sort of re-introduced the “strange” element of Castiel, his Other-ness – something SO missing in the series for 4 years now, 5 years.Ģ. What I really liked about the final moment in last night’s episode was:ġ. … so I understand why he has stuck around. I am now re-watching Seasons 4 and 5, and it makes me feel even more just how much that character has become … useless. Loretta Devine! Ackles’ reading of “Yes, ma’am.”Īnd finally: I’ve been pretty open about my dislike of Castiel’s continued presence on the show.
This episode here was filled with references to the far past. What a RELIEF after an entire season where MOM has returned to the show and there is literally NO exploration of all the intervening years, about their childhood, about the past. As a matter of fact, this argument already stands out in the Pantheon of arguments between the brothers as more out of control, more angry, more filled with unspoken built-up resentments. Things haven’t gotten that hot between them in a long time. The explosive argument at the end of the episode – wow. Sam’s long memory of his own life – and the pain/issues/conflicts it has created in his character – was beautifully played by Padalecki – it was clear what he was playing even BEFORE he brought it up to Dean. Back to season 2, when Dean admitted that John told him to “save or kill” Sam. We’ve got a good conflict now going between the brothers – a conflict with long long roots. Getting a really good feeling, people! That was a wonderful episode – and truly in Robert Singers relationship-focused directorial wheelhouse.
