SPN: Lazarus Rising
Hmmm, not quite sure what to think. Loved most of it, but
Not because I don't think it's totally appropriate for the show to have the good side finally represented, but it has the potential to turn schlocky pretty fast if they're not careful, you know? LOL, plus it's bad enough there's freaking wing!fic in fandom already. Oy, that's only gonna get worse. ;)
Dude, Dean dug himself out? That's messed up. *hugs him tight* I think he might remember more than he's letting on. More than they're showing us. I really liked that the first few minutes were without dialogue. Really effective.
I'll admit, they had me fooled with the Red Right Hand on his shoulder. C'mon, am I the only one so gullible?
Aw, Bobby. After all the trying to kill Dean was done, that little broken noise he makes. Awwwwwww. Dang, I love Bobby. I love, btw, that they actually showed that reaction from him, and from Sam (it took suspiciously less time for Sam to accept it...). Because it's freaky for someone to dig like Lazarus. Hee hee. Forgive me. It appears to be a Nick Cave kind of night.
I figured out the girl was Ruby as soon as she opened the door. Don't know why. Don't think I like her in this skin, either. If anything, I like her less. Maybe it's because I don't want her messing with Sam. Leave my Sam alone! It also kind of grosses me out that they've implied Sam/Ruby, even if it didn't look believeable.*
*ETA: This squicks me because I still cannot reconcile Sam being okay with Ruby walking around with some poor innocent girl's body, let alone want to boink her. EW. If that's the case, he's already gone dark side. For now I'm going with they meant to imply only that Ruby and Sam were in that room together for convenience's sake, and that maybe, hopefully, god-I-hope Ruby's going to be in multiple hosts.
Oh, boys, still lying to each other. Tsk. I really think they ought to have learned this lesson by now, though I do wonder if angel dude (no idea how to spell the name) would have shown if Sam had been with Dean and Bobby. Dramatic tension at the end would have been better if they'd made the angel dude be more specific. Of course, saying "we need you to stop your brother" (conjecture only, as I'm spoiler-free...) would have given away the whole kit and kaboodle.
I don't get why no demons have seen anything like an angel, or what an angel can do. Or why it took four months for God or whatever decided to haul Dean out. If they did because Sam's traveling down a slippery slope, then couldn't they have prevented that slippery slope by getting Dean out toot sweet?
On the Sam issue - it's awesome that he thinks he's doing good things, but I don't think he realizes how slippery a path he's on. It's cool he's found a way to kill demons without necessarily killing the host, but a few nudges and he could be doing some BAD things. The fact that he and Ruby are chummy-chums makes me nervous. The last meaningful interaction we saw them have was Ruby being rather awful to Dean and refusing to do pretty much anything, wasn't it?
Hmmmm.
Need to sleep on it, I think. Also, a word to Kripke: please to be learning how to write and treat your female characters. Kthanxbai.
Also, Wedge Antilles? Oh, Sam. I heart you.

what did you think it was?
I had no idea at first and then when they said it was whoever pulled him out I thought it made sense....
