So because I’m still in the middle of a move, I don’t have the usual time to write a fleshy entry. But I figured I owe it to the Supernatural fans who actually read my blog to write at least SOMETHING this week! I love you girls.
I really, really enjoyed last week’s episode for several reasons. It definitely was not a filler episode and we were able to delve a little more into the apocalypse storyline. I also like the fact that even though it wasn’t one of those funny episodes, there were parts in there that had me laughing out loud. I also like the fact that it dealt with people’s vices and addictions as I am working towards becoming a substance abuse counselor.
The most important thing we learn from this episode is that Dean may be “soulless.” The whole premise is that the “hungry” horseman comes and makes everybody’s soul hunger for something — whether that’s alcohol, food, sex, etc. The entire time everybody is being overtaken by this, even Castiel, and we are left wondering why on earth Dean isn’t affected. This is when we find out that Dean may very well not have a soul, or at least a soul worth saving. This all eventually leads up to one of the most powerful endings in Supernatural history (in my opinion) — Dean breaking down and asking God for help. The scene touched my heart and made me cry out for Dean (not literally); I felt so tremendously sad for Dean in that moment.
Enough sadness — the parts that made me laugh out loud were when Castiel and Dean were on the phone with each other. Dean was asking when Castiel would meet them at their location and as soon as he turns around Castiel is standing there and says something along the lines of, “I’m there now” with the most adorable look on his face! This was a Castiel heavy episode and I enjoyed every second of it. I’m sure my readers did too! The second part was when Dean handed over a real heart to Sam and asked him to be his Valentine. Priceless!
Ok…I think that’s all I wanted to touch on. I am VERY disappointed that no new episodes will be airing until the end of March. I just got over waiting forever during the winter hiatus! Now I have to wait another month — oh, the torture! No pun intended (Dean).
