9.01, or, Carver does it again

[brightly_lit]

Just saw 9.01 and loved it. And wow, my previous two posts sure did get jossed a lot, occasionally more or less word for word .... Ah, well; I always seem to find my way to the same wavelength with the writers. Consider this a blanket warning that any of my future fics (now that I'm keeping up with the show in real time) may end up spoily.

So apparently Sam really DOES only want death. And is his request for assurance from Death that he STAY DEAD the whole reason he didn't look for Dean when he "thought he was dead"--Sam assumed that Dean must feel the same way he does and want to stay dead? Makes sense. (I heard Carver said they would continue to go into that issue in the show, yay!) "Sacrifice" was magnificent, and 9.01 was all I would have hoped for out of a follow-up. Hurt!Sam and hurt!Cas and hurt!Dean, oh my! And feels, all the feels! *drooooool*

Loves me some Tahmoh! And ooh, as hurt!Dean scenes go, his angel beatdown was imo one of the BEST. EVER. I may even get to see 9.02 next week on something bigger than a teeny screen!!

I know, right! The major feels are just - OMG too much feels!

I think Sam as a death-seeker is definitely going to become a thing. It broke my heart to hear him talk about wanting to stay dead - but that moment with head!Dean where he takes his wrists and pats his face. Sam wants - NEEDS - his brother to let go of him.

I love Dean, and I get why he did it, but I think what he's done is stupid and selfish. Especially after he saw Sam saying he wanted to make sure he couldn't come back.

Also, how much I love Death. My God, he is just about the most amazing character and actor. Just, a scene stealer.

I do feel sorry for Dean - he really was desperate, and he was suffering. And now he's alone with it.

I'm not a Destiel shipper, but Dean telling Cas to take care of himself for once gave me so many feels. It was a "they really do love each other" moment, especially after how pissed Dean was about the Angel Tablet.

And Cas and humanity. Oh, and Cas worried more about Sam than himself.

AGH! THE FEELS ARE TOO MUCH!

I totally need some season 9 fics. SO MUCH.

Yes, something told me you'd love 9.01 :D Poor Sam, poor bb <3 and DEAN, how selfish and stupid (and lovable) of him. I need to write/read S9 fics too!

I'M SO GLAD!!! I've been thinking about you/how you were receiving the last bit of S8. :DDDDDDDD

I enjoyed Dean's angel beatdown, though it didn't satisfy me as an H/Cer, necessarily. I prefer it when the H/C is of actual import to Dean, whereas with that scene it was like GOD THIS IS SO NOT RELEVANT TO MY LIFE RIGHT NOW. Which is endearing in its own way, of course. His "oh fuck me" face when he's going against/manipulating/mindwiping/lying to Sam was very satisfying, though. *___*

God this ep. SO RIDICULOUS but it just makes me smile whenever I think about it. I was skimming clips from 6x11 with regard to 9x01 and the entire time I was just like, THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS so I think that may just be my reaction to Show in general. Yes, this is a show that actually exists. This is, somehow, something that aired on television. What even!! <333

(As for your last two posts, I haven't read yet--still on Dorothy's fic, which I HAVE read but have not yet written to. But they looked fascinating, so I'm looking forward to them!)
