I think I see Friday brain peeking around the corner ...

[apocalypsos]

-- Sam is going to pocket the necklace and give to to Dean all over again, because the amulet is their version of an engagement ring and the writers know it will make the fangirls weep, and it'll probably be the thing that drags Dean out into the open when he says yes to Michael and Sam doesn't say yes to Lucifer and instead tries to romance Dean out with flowers and chocolates and promises he doesn't intend to keep. I mean, come on, SERIOUSLY. You don't throw away a God Alarm in a motel garbage can, and you don't leave a character alone in a motel room with a God Alarm in a garbage can and not expect him to pocket it, and if you don't see a body they're not dead, and even if you DO see the body they're not dead, YAY SHOW.

-- Castiel needs a hug, you guys. Actually, never mind, I've seen this future. Castiel needs a beer and some poon and Buddha.

Honestly, though, seeing the moment where he pretty much falls apart is SO not pretty. It's one thing to see Dean lose faith, but to see an angel lose faith with God? Ouch.

-- All that said, this is doing nothing to smother my occasional thought that God is Bobby hiding out and pulling the wool over their eyes. Which doesn't work with a lot of things we've seen already, admittedly, but tell my brain that. It likes that bunny something fierce.

-- I don't know how they're going to pull it off, but playing out the events they're giving us to their most logical conclusions keeps leading to Dean saying yes first in my brain. Which is weird, because I couldn't tell you why I get from point A to point "yes," but I just keep getting there.

-- Okay, catystorm just pointed out that the hunters were named Roy and Walt and Ash compared heaven to Disneyland, and it occurs to me now to wonder how they found out about the whole broken-seals thing (that's ... not really big news in hunter world, is it? Or am I just having a brain fart? I think I'm just having a brain fart ...), and I might be a little freaked out by that even though it probably means nothing.

-- I wondered about the deeper significance of Ash in the Mexican wrestler costume before I figured out, fuck, it's Ash, there doesn't need to be a reason and that's why he's awesome. :D

-- When Pamela was talking about saying yes to Michael, I found myself wondering if she was a ringer for Zach, and the thought hasn't gone away. It just seems like it's out of left field. She and Ash didn't really know each other, at least as far as we know, and now all of a sudden they're hanging at the Roadhouse and she's selling Dean on Michael? Something about that whole scene just unsettled, because at points it came off like less of a discussion between friends and more like an empty sales pitch.

-- I maybe liked the scene of Mary arguing with John over the phone a little more than I should have, not because I don't like them -- Lord knows I do -- but because Dean has a point, that they weren't perfect, and that John idealized them after the fact, and underneath it all was probably still the same couple who needed a Cupid to keep them together because they hated each other so much.

Also, please forgive me any incoherence or idiocy, as my toothache is still at eleven after drugs and Oragel. Ugh.

Yeah. I kept expecting Pamela to turn into an Angel toady or something. Her "sales pitch" was just odd O.O

Dean with his memories *hugs*

Well, the three hunters in Free to Be knew Sam was a demon-blood addict, and they've probably all been primed by Gordon's "SAM WINCHESTER IS THE ANTICHRIST" campaign, as well as the rumor that they opened the devil's gate in AHBL rather than closed it, so I think it's possible that word that Sam set Lucifer free has spread. And there's always the possibility that Zachariah's been stirring the pot in that direction, as well.
