Supernatural 3.11
Zomg, the more I think about this episode the more it TEARS ME APART. Because yeah, it was like a concentrated dose of what I love about the show: SAM AND DEAN CAN'T ACTUALLY LIVE WITHOUT EACH OTHER.
I wish that they'd spent more time on what happened after Dean died on Wednesday instead of that montage. I mean, as far as montages go, it was totally awesome (that music, dear god) but - I mean. We all know that Dean wasn't going to ACTUALLY die then, that by the end of the episode he would be alive again, but it would have been nice if they weren't so quick to rush through that whole agonizing period between his death and the magical time-turning.
But, you know. I still loved it :D
I am feeling a bit agonized myself, though. Because, well - I love this episode because by the end of it we know Sam is so fundamentally changed. Like, seeing Dean die every day for a long fucking time is going to have a huge affect on him anyway. Let alone three months of Dean being actually DEAD and Sam being on his own. Sam is going to be *different* after that. And yet I know that when the next episode rolls along, it's going to be business as usual, and that makes me a wee bit sad.
And I mean, it's not just a fundamental emotional/personal alteration anyway. It's all the ways Sam will have changed in hunting alone - learning to hunt on his own, WIN hunts on his own, all the shit he would have learned in all that time spent repeating Tuesdays.
But, you know, the end of the episode - Am I right in reading it that Sam's not actually telling Dean that Dean died for real and Sam went on for months without him, alone? That Sam's just... not going to tell him at all? Because, gah.
When's the next ep? Not til April, is it?
This reminds of of Shadow in season 1 - huge big OMG OMG OMG SHOW response from fandom, bucketloads of fic about scars and patching up and Big Emotional Sex, hiatus, and then 1.17 rolls around all pretty-faced.
*sigh* oh, show.
