SPN: Crossroad Blues

[superbadgirl]

Oh, Dean. I'd say more, but I just...oh, Dean. I really worry he's going to do something terrible one of these days. I think Sam really worries Dean's going to do something terrible one of these days, too.

Is it bad that I kind of want a Christmas Carol "ghost of Christmas future" to happen to Dean to get him to see that things wouldn't be any better (they might even be worse) if he gets John back somehow? I mean, I want John back...but you don't mess with that kind of stuff without totally fucking everything else up.



This episode was loads better than last week and the week before. The guys are still off, but they were together and they were doing their thing. I nearly fainted when Sam had the laptop open in the diner. ;) And then they followed it up by putting the pieces together...all by themselves? No calls to their roadhouse pals? *faints again* Okay, clearly I'm being tongue in cheek, but, man, it was good to see.

Oh, Dean. Just have to say that every once in a while. The guy never fails to break my damned heart.

The hellhounds? Scary. Scary because they were invisible. Invisible things are SO much scarier than the things you can see - your imagination just goes haywire and fills in all sorts of blanks. The weirdly morphing face hallucinations? Freaky as hell. The guy's wife was especially so, I thought, because she was someone he loved. Unexpected. *shudder*

Loved Dean kicking in the door. Loved him trying it again inside, and Sam stopping him. Hee. Though I don't know why the dude thought it a good idea to go into a room and not lock the door behind him. If I thought demons or hellhounds were after me, you can bet your sweet bippy I'd at least lock the damned door. Even the motel doctor woman had the sense to do that, even if she wasn't smart enough to consider the window. (I knew that one was coming, natch.)

Loved that Sam knew the instant Dean's voice changed slightly when talking to (what the hell was his name - Hudson?) Hudson that Dean had gone to that bad place in his head again. I think Dean's always there, confirmed by the demon, but he usually keeps up a facade. Loved that he won't relent on trying (and failing miserably - and that's killing him) to keep Dean from teetering right over into that bad place forever. That last scene. *sniffle*

Dean with the demon chick. Oh, Dean. I cannot even say how much that all killed me. I know, I know, I've said it multiple times already. That poor man. If he doesn't stop, there'll be absolutely nothing left inside him. :(

And the "soon"? Damnit, most of it looked really good and I can't wait. It's so sad that a part of me hates the holidays just because there's nothing on TV except reruns and schmaltzy holiday movies. Is it December 7th yet?

I, too, think that the secret, whatever it is, is weighing heavily on Dean and affecting how he is relating to Sam--not really in a negative way, if that makes any sense, but in maybe making him more reserved with his brother. I'm really hoping once the secret is out that Dean will realize how much they both need eachother--and that Sam doesn't lose that at the same point Dean finds it again.

I'm really hoping they don't make Sam a Marty Stu. I fear. I mean, it's already been heavily implied that he's "special." I love Sam and all, but that always just seems like a convenient plot device. It reduces him from a person into an ideal.

I have a feeling this year will be a lot of them always not quite on the same page with each other. Moreso even than last season.
