meg_tdjYou have no idea how much I wanted Rufus to be God. Still hoping, actually. There were just so many blatant clues! The fact that he "knows things," he always seems to pop up when things are at their bleakest, said he's what Dean had to look forward to if he survived, knew he wouldn't, he only drank the "nectar of the gods," and in Good God Y'all he showed up right when they were talking about finding God... I was SO SURE!!! Purposeful mislead, maybe?
The exorcism scene was AWESOME. And very Metamorphosis/I Know What You Did Last Summer, don't you think? All that was missing was Ruby's scowl and Sam's magic hand. But Dean's face when Sam got into his Latinating... heartbreak city. He knew pretty soon he'd be keeping company with that demon on his own turf. Ouch. :(
Sam's glee over immortality... you can tell Jared really dug this storyline, LOL. Poor Sam, he was so desperate he was clinging to absolutely anything. I really don't see how this could have helped Dean, though - the hellhounds would have just ripped him to pieces whether he could die or not, which would be just as bad. But yeah, Sam's excitement was so sweet to see. We hadn't seen him feeling so lighthearted in ages, especially when he was purposefully grossing Dean out while he was eating, LOL. That was great.
Love the boys' argument before they split. Sam's still used to going it alone after Mystery Spot, and while he's been letting Dean call some of the shots since then, there's no way he's missing a chance to save him. I love that he was just "How you gonna stop me?" about it, heh. Because yeah. Dude's bigger than you, Dean. He doesn't pull that card very often, but Dean knows not to push it when he does. ;)
Bela's backstory finally made her somewhat sympathetic... and yet not. It was kind of a fine line, and I think they did a great job with it. She was obviously badly abused, but still... selling your soul to off your parents and inherit their money is a bit extreme. She was very much a shades-of-grey kind of character, and I kind of love that. I felt bad for her at the end, though. I often wonder if she was who Alastair referred to in On the Head of a Pin when he described Dean slicing into "that weeping bitch." I'm sure it would have tempted him over to the dark side if he'd been offered a torture session with Bela.
They could never have paid me enough to have maggots crawling all over my arm. I'm just saying. That actress has my utmost respect and admiration. :P
Anyway. I love the question this episode raised - would you rather die, or live as a monster? Their discussion over that wasn't as long and in-depth as I would have hoped, but it was definitely food for thought. Dean's opinion has always been "black or white, human or not human," whereas Sam is living in that grey area where he's not sure WHAT he is, so he's more willing to consider the options. That short little conversation in Benton's cabin really set up their conflict in season 4 perfectly.
And here's another question - Lilith couldn't really have wanted Bela to kill Sam and Dean, so did she know they got away first before sending Bela after them? Was she just betting on Bela failing somehow? Hmm.
A couple things bugged me - John took the guy's heart and thought that was it over? Really? Dude is immortal, steals himself new organs on a regular basis, and taking his HEART was supposed to suffice? Couldn't John at least have set fire to him or something? And also, Dean fired his gun through a door in a fancy hotel. Firstly, he's lucky nobody was on the other side, and secondly, nobody heard that? Really?
Oh, and Sam's poor beautiful eye would have been so badly damaged by that scoopy thing! AUGH!! If I never see a scene like that again it'll be too soon. *shudder*
Randomness -
*Lorne and Grodin from Stargate Atlantis were in the teaser together, hahahaha!
*Could you really walk all the way to a hospital unassisted when you're missing your liver? I'm thinking no.
*I could honestly watch that 10-second scene where Sam's pacing on the phone over and over for hours on end and never get sick of it. Why? YUMMY BROWN JACKET OF AWESOMENESS. Yes, I'm obsessed.
*Dean's "my man Dave Caruso" line cracked me up SO HARD. I forgot he said that! Makes the CSI spoof all the more hilarious. ;)
*Pathologist guy also played Daniel Elkins in Dead Man's Blood. Supernatural loves to recycle. ;)
*They really DO have maps of abandoned hunting cabins!
*Bobby was actually doing junkyard stuff!
*Sam used his remote lock thingie again. Never fails to crack me up - middle of a dramatic chase through the woods, then suddenly... "BOOP". ;)
*Jared trying to fit down that tiny staircase is also kind of hilarious. ;)
Quotes -
Dean: Okay, great. My man Dave Caruso will be stoked to hear it.
Dean: Zombies do like the other other white meat.
Doc: Can I see your badges?
Sam: Of course.
*Sam and Dean show their IDs*
Doc: Fine. So you're cops AND morons.
Dean: 'Scuse me? No, no, we're very smart.
Doc: Didn't you read my report?
Dean: Of course we did. No, it was riveting. It was a real page turner. Just delightful.
Doc: Are you done?
Dean: I think so.
Doc: Please go away?
Dean: A zombie with skills. Dr. Quinn Medicine Zombie.
Kidney Guy: Hey, man. I just got my kidney stolen. I'm tired.
Dean: We'll be outta here quick. Don't you want to get the guy?
Kidney Guy: Will it get me back my kidney?
Sam: He likes dense forest with access to a river or stream or some kind of fresh water.
Dean: *eating sandwich* Why?
Sam: Because that's where he likes to dump the bile and intestines and fecal matter... *laughs* Lost your appetite yet?
Dean: *gags, pauses, looks at sandwich* Oh, baby, I can't stay mad at you. *takes huge bite*
Dean: No, all you're trying to do is, is chase Slicey McHacky here. And to kill him? No, you want to buy him a freakin' beer, you wanna study him.
Rufus: *through intercom* What?
Dean: Hi, uh... Rufus?
Rufus: Yeah, even if I am, the question is still the same. What?
Dean: Uh, I'm Dean Winchester. I'm a friend of Bobby Singer's.
Rufus: So?
Dean: You called him this morning.
Rufus: So?
Dean: *looks at camera, laughs nervously, clears throat* Uh, you told Bobby about a British chick made contact with you.
Rufus: Yeah, and so?
Dean: You know where she is?
Rufus: Yep.
Dean: Could you tell me where I could find her?
Rufus: Nope.
Dean: Course not. Look, Rufus, man...
*door opens*
Rufus: Let me point something out to you... you are knockin' at MY door, so don't "look, man" me. I'm not your man.
Rufus: Dean, do I look like I'm here to help you?
Dean: I'm gonna say no.
Rufus: You got 3 weeks left. Why are you wasting your time chasing after that skinny, stuck-up English girl?
Dean: Let me guess, you lift her fingerprints?
Rufus: Yep.
Dean: And that got you jack.
Rufus: Yep. She burned 'em off. Probably years ago.
Dean: Yeah, so you're right where we are.
Rufus: Nope. You do her ear?
Dean: Sorry?
Rufus: You do her ear?
Dean: *thinks* Hey, man, I'll try anything once, but I don't know, that sounds uncomfortable.
Benton: Kinda makes this whole thing just feel like some kind of family reunion, don't it?
Dean: Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey.
Sam: I mean, we're talking Hell in 3 weeks or needing a new pancreas in, like, half a century.
Dean: Yeah, well you can't exactly get those at a quickie mart.
Dean: This can't help you, Bela. Not now. Why are you telling me this?
Bela: Because just maybe you can kill the bitch.
*pause*
Dean: I'll see you in Hell. *hangs up*
