In the penultimate episode of season 10 Supernatural gives us an intense follow-up to last week's crap-fest.
My hands are shaking and I'm crying. Holy shit... This was really intense so I have been avoiding writing up my thoughts, because I did not know how to deal with this, but here it finally is.
I have forgiven this show for a lot of things. For killing so many characters that I have loved. But I will never forgive this show for killing Charlie. I am so mad about that. I have spent the last week and a half in denial, hoping that she was somehow alive. Seeing the Winchesters burn her broke my heart into millions of pieces, it hurt so much. Why the fuck would you do that? If Dean's control is really this slippery and is so close to turning (because even if he's not a demon at the moment, he is not the Dean we know and love), then there would have been so many options besides killing Charlie that would have accomplished making Dean go rogue. Fuck this shit.
But at the same time, I cannot quit watching this show. I'm too invested. So since I cannot forgive this show, I will do everything I can to forget they ever did something as stupid as killing one of the best characters that ever appeared on tv.
I do appreciate the insight to the Styne family and how they operate, but it is not very interestingly done. I don't care about these characters. Not even about Cyrus, even if he is relatively innocent and set up as a parallel to Sam. Which makes Dean shooting him all kinds of fucked up.
Dean is too pissed of at Sam to be near him, so he goes after the Stynes alone after making Sam swear that he's going to stop trying to decipher the Book of the Damned. Sam is all ready to comply, but then he receives the decryption stuff from Charlie and decides to ignore Dean's wishes again. Sam tells Cas to go after Dean and stall him. But Rowena feels like it is time for Sam to keep his word and kill Crowley before she will find the cure.
So I have a question. Why did Dean let the officers arrest him? His later actions in the episode show that he would have been perfectly capable of taking them down, so why go along if he was going to escape later? Did he think he might get some more information about the Stynes at the station? This really confused me.
Sam's confrontation with Crowley was interesting. And I'm happy they did not kill Crowley yet. And now he really is back to being evil. Poor Sam. He really is not having a lot of success in his efforts this season. One bad choice after another... But this seems to confirm the theory that Crowley is not an ordinary demon. He says he is not scared of the demon knife Sam has, like it couldn't harm him fatally. And he is able to destroy Rowena's spell easily. Damn, this is going to be intriguing to watch what will happen.
Dean is really brutal in this episode, but his explanation to Monroe and Eli Styne on why they should let him go was chilling. And I'm glad we don't see Dean's massacre of the family beyond the lab, just hear Cas telling Sam what he found. I think that made it horrifying enough. Especially since he arrives at the bunker with blood allover him.
While Dean actually killing every single member of the Styne family is not a good thing, I am happy he arrived at the bunker in time to stop Cyrus and Eldon from burning it down. Don't destroy the bunker!! But how did the Stynes get it? I was under the impression that the key was the only way the door would open. So either I'm mistaken or this is an error on the writers' part.
Cas' speech to Dean was so heartbreaking. Even after Sam and everyone else Dean knows is gone, Cas is still going to be there. And he is still going to care about Dean. And he is not willing to watch Dean do horrible things. But he is still not trying to fight Dean, just restrain him. Cas, sometimes I really love you.
Watching Dean almost kill Cas was super upsetting. More upsetting than it would have been if it had been Sam getting beaten up. I was so scared Dean was going to kill Cas. Dean is in such a bad place right now and, honestly, I'm scared for him and of him. But damn is it compelling to watch. This is written so well and Jensen Ackles is fucking amazing and I can't look away even though it breaks my heart. And like I said, he is not even a demon at the moment! The little we saw of demon Dean, was never this fucked up. I'm gonna talk more of season 10 as a whole and my hopes for season 11 after the finale, but here's hoping they'll explore more of Dean's demon side in the future and not just what the Mark does to him. But I am worried. Dean seems to be very close to the place where he is willing to kill Cas and Sam, and that scares the hell out of me.
How the hell am I going to survive the finale? I am both scared to death and excited beyond belief. It's going to be fucking intense..
