Oh. Oh wow.

Well that was different than last week. Spoilers for 7X09 but no spoilers for preview please.



So, I'm kind of stunned. I wanted different after last week, and that's what I got. This episode did what Supernatural does best - set us up, suck us in, jerk a tear or two, make us think it's going one way, and then go for the kill-shot.

I will definitely be watching this one again, but for now, I'm just kind of reeling from first impressions. Bobby being so awesome, from the first scene to the last.... Calling them "little grubs." He loves them so much. In some ways, more than John did I think - maybe cause he really knows them. I really, really hope they don't kill Bobby, but with this show, you never know. They killed John, they killed Cas.

So yeah. Wow.

The writing in this felt really tight. Humorous without trying so hard. Surprisingly touching. Bobby's conversation with Sam and then his subsequent conversation with Dean about tore my heart out. And in this episode, that's as literal a sentiment as I can come up with. Lots of hearts being torn out, ranger parts, cat's heads....this show.

Sorry for the stream-of-consciousness. Kind of thinking as I go. Anybody else? What did you think of this one? To me, it felt like last week's episode never happened...a very, very good thing.

I want to write sonnets to Ben Edlund and Guy Bee. Just a brilliant episode all round. Loved it and want to watch it over and over again and draw hearts around ESPECIALLY Bobby. For me it was like the antithesis of all that was wrong with lats weeks I must admit. To be honest I feel kinda set up with the way those episodes screened. Like they knew that last weeks was gonna be received as a weak one. So lets just throw em all off completely with how utterly brilliant this one is gonna be. BASTARDS! lol - I love 'em.

I agree so much. I can't wait to watch this again, except for my uneasiness about Bobby.

I kind of got the feeling they were proud of last week's episode....kind of like a parent who is blind to the fact that their kid in choir can't hit a note. But I'll forgive them and move on. :)
