exsequar*flails hands at you all*
I don't even know where to start!! I just want to flail my hands and osmose all my squee into your braaaaaaaaaains!
DEEEEEEEEEEEEEAN! MARY! SAMUEL! CASTIEL! ANSWERS! HOMG.
So, basically: Dean brought the YED's attention down on his family, directly causing the immediate death of his grandparents and indirectly causing the death of his mother and father and his brother's path down the road to being the ANTICHRIST.
Um.
Oops? ;_;
Dean has SO MUCH GUILT already, I don't even know how he's going to walk upright after this one. Deeeeeeean! D:
But lets move on to how BLOODY AWESOME this episode was. First, the casting. Mary was PERFECT. She was strong and adorable and impassioned and yet still so young ("I'll be in the car!"). I was so pleased. And of course MITCH PILEGGI!!!!!! I love that man a lot a lot and he was so perfect as the gruff and kinda cranky hunter-dad. And THEN when he had to play YED? HOOOOLY CRAP. I actually got CHILLS at how well he evoked the YED's personality, particularly in reference to JDM's performance of it in Devil's Trap, which remains one of my favorite scenes of the entire series. The parallels there were fantastic to me as an old time first. Meanwhile, baaaaby John was Most Precious omg. The scene with the car made me hearteyes forever. <3333
Meanwhile, Jensen Ackles made me flail my hands at him forever. He never fails, and I boggle. The single perfect tear! That whole scene with Mary played the tango with my insides. Siiiiiigh.
This episode was just so... well DONE. It pulled together so much that's near and dear to my heart as an old fan. OH SHOW I HAVE MISSED YOU!!!! *SNUGGLES CLOSE TO CHEST*
And now for something completely different.
I absolutely loved Biden's performance yesterday. He was intelligent, informed, eloquent, passionate, and above all, genuine. I really believed that he felt what he was saying, on everything from his family's tragedy to his political philosophy. And that last part surprised me. In general, I am not a fan of politics and people who are first and foremost politicians. But he showed me that there are politicians who take their job as a moral responsibility, something that they take upon themselves to carry out to the best of their abilities. I especially loved his riff about how he learned not to question peoples' motives, only their judgment. I loved how he was more than willing to admit mistakes he had made and then how he learned from them. I loved that he came out with fully formed answers almost every time, yet they never sounded prefabricated. He uplifted me, and I came out with a much better sense of who Joe Biden is and a renewed sense of hope.
Meanwhile, Palin was a retarded talking wind-up monkey with a depth roughly equal to paper. Every time she winked I felt a deep-seated desire to throw things through the screen. But then Biden laughed, because he was so amused, and I felt alright with the world again.
And now for a PARTAY in my apartment. This party consists OF: The West Wing, wine or Irish whiskey (take a guess which one's me), and golden kiwis. OH YEAH.
