apocalypsosHeh. I'm mean. ;)
So! A continuation of Friday brain, if you will.
-- I'm greatly enjoying the last few MotW episodes, although I will admit that my enjoyment of them only lasts so long before I crave a story-arc episode. My thing is, with a show like this, too many MotW episodes feels like cheap syndication work to me after too long. Like, it's okay if you miss an episode, because next week when we air this at three in the morning after old Forever Knight reruns, you won't HAVE to know what's going on! I don't know, that's probably just me.
-- Oh, man, I would KILL to see Bobby going all Professor X on this kid. Actually, I'd kill to see Bobby get his mojo back, and fast. Next week doesn't give me much hope on that count -- c'mon, Bobby, you can still be awesome! -- but I'm crossing my fingers that if he's still in the chair at the end of the season he'll have adapted somewhat. That's a big IF in my opinion. I just feel like when we do get the inevitable God appearance, or if Dean suddenly gets all Michaeled up, we're going to get fixed!Bobby out of the deal. Of course, as always, I reserve the right to be wrong.
-- They keep dropping John's name and making John references, and I swear to the Great Bearded One, if JDM actually shows up, AND they really did get him to play God, I would not be responsible for my actions. (I do, however, appreciate the warning, as not knowing John may show up and suddenly having JDM on my TV screen -- if they can manage to pull it off -- may fry a synapse and result in me missing the rest of the episode.)
-- I feel SO BAD for that kid. How do you go through life knowing you're the anti-Christ? (Although thank you, show, for taking that one from Sammy. Just sayin'.) The good news is that Jesse really does seem like a good kid at heart, because otherwise ... well, hell. I'm not even sure I'm really all the relieved that Castiel didn't kill him. I know he's a kid, and seems to be a decent one at that, but at the same time, HI, ANTI-CHRIST. It's like "Would you go back to kill Hitler?" times a MILLION. He's phenomenal cosmic power in an itty bitty living space. There's no guarantee that just because he's a good kid NOW, he won't turn in a bad person later. And you know what they say about absolute power. The packaging's not really much of an excuse for why you didn't kill the anti-Christ when you had a chance. (... I kinda miss season one of Buffy right now.)
But I like Jesse. He was adorable and smart and damn it, he just wanted someone to tell him the truth. And now I'm going to be constantly picturing him in Australia just hanging out the beach and being completely laidback and wasting away his days, or possibly in England somewhere wearing an sweater and watering his lawn. Heh. (I really do have to reread Good Omens.) He'd better be coming back later in the season. I don't see why they wouldn't bring him back later, although I like thinking about him out there somewhere, floating through life on a breeze.
Now, who's writing futurefic where Lucifer!Sam takes Jesse under his wing? Is it you? How about you? 'Cause it's definitely not me. Um. *fidgets*
-- All of that said ... a knife, Castiel? Really? Against THIS kid?
You idiot. *rumples Castiel's hair*
-- It's so like Dean to be like, "Let's just lie to him and take him to Bobby!" And Sam's got to be the one to be honest to him, because that's what works. It was already shown that Jesse appreciates honesty. Work with what you know. (See, this is why I'm having Lucifer!Sam and Jesse plotbunnies. Because Lucifer wouldn't lie to the kid, and if he could manage to do it while making the angels look like dicks -- not exactly a difficult move -- he could have that kid in his pocket. Even more so, if Lucifer ever did get into Sam.)
There's also a great parallel to Weechesters with their interactions with Jesse in that scene. Dean is talking to him like a big brother, reassuring him even if he's got to lie to him. He's put himself in the protector role in that room rather than looking at it from Jesse's point of view from Sam does. Sam knows the kid wants the truth no matter how brutal because he's been in that position himself. There's also the past two seasons with Ruby to consider -- he's been lied to and manipulated, and knowing the truth from all sides would have stopped him from breaking that last seal. (At least, as far as he sees it.)
-- "WE DON'T HAVE A FRIDGE!" Did I mention I love Dean? 'Cause, I really, really do?
-- I also love Sam. Who's so hilariously awkward around kids. Keep it up, Gigantor.
