Babblesmuch

(Pardon my tardiness) Re: how Luci got on the sub in the end. I thought we saw Delphine scratch away a little bit of the sigil on the wall. Before the activation of the Hand of God, she was underneath a bunk and used her knife and scratched a little. Did that affect things too? Or was that related purely to the activation of the HoG? (I didn't think Luci actually *finished* that spell, did he?) Edited for general grammatical weirdness.

*does happy little jig over the fact that it was Cas's care for Sam that enabled him to break Luci's hold* I haven't genuinely enjoyed an episode in a bit, but I liked this one. I'm even more worried that Dean won't be proactive in the big showdown (i don't want to see Dean drive to the location to watch everyone else do stuff... again), but this episode kinda rekindled my interest in things. *still jiggin'*

*whispers* That was someone else. Kelly Macdonald.

Or this works too. I will be using Plotonium in the future. ;-)

Teehee. Thanks sis! It was either gonna be Babblesmuch or Randomstreamofconsciousness, but I figured that was too long. I'm sorry! If helps, it's killing me now too. I could've sworn, I've been thinking it for ages... but right now all the demons I think of weren't low-levels. Ruby, Meg, crossroads, seven deadlies, the one with the witches... I'm having trouble remembering the non-special demons. Maybe I just assumed... What type of ranking were Casey and the priest wearing demon in Sin City? Did either one of them even do the hand wave thing? *sigh* Seems I'll be starting my rewatch tomorrow.

Ooh typo. Wynne88 was the user I was responding too. There were no other demons that we saw do that? Hmm. I am mistaken.

(I'm not sure how to do quotes on my phone so) Wynne, Meg and Ruby could do handwaves, so I think at one point, all demons could. But I'm not sure the old rules apply in Carver's spn.

*steps out of the Shadows of Lurk* I come with some things that are bound to be unpopular opinions! I liked the scene with Dean and Amara. No, not in the sense of it being appropriate or hot. I liked how uncomfortable it made me. I love that the show made me feel something. I'm still interested in the show and characters, but I'm very seldom moved any more. Deaths stopped being a big deal for me a while ago. If someone vaguely good dies, we'll see them again in some form, so I can't bring myself to be truly emotionally invested in their potential death. Billie's talk of Sam and Dean being sent to The Empty when they die again didn't have much of an impact on me (beyond wondering if that's going to be their answer to getting rid of the Big Bad). If Sam and Dean die, that's the end of the show, and the guys and tptb plan to run spn for as many more years as they can so... Fight scenes, while I'm still impressed with the amount of work they take to film, aren't doing anything for me either. There's no more shock for me when a loved one beats ups Dean, I still don't know why the fight between Sam and Dean at the end of 10x23 had to happen, and as much as I wanted Metatron to get smacked in the mouth, the beat down registered as -- unnecessary, maybe? He's human at this point, and in an older body. It doesn't take angel powered blows to take him down. Sam's fight with the demons left me frustrated in the opposite way. There should have been something else, the equivalent of demon damaging brass knuckles or something. When did demons weaken to the point of engaging and losing a fist fight with a human? What happened to their telekinesis and extra strength? But the scene with Dean and Amara? It had me captivated. It was hitting all of my internal markers of "eww, wrong" but I couldn't look away, almost as if Amara's juju was working on me too. It's been a really long time since the show has shown something that just HIT me, and I appreciate that. Of course, I'm assuming that it'll cause me less discomfort once Amara has completed her transitions. Partially because, visually, it won't immediately ping wrong, and also because I don't think the show is actually going to go anywhere outside of "it's another apocalypse, humans are going to die, insert quick save in the last couple episodes of the season!" But who knows? She was a creepy thing while in The Nothing Cloud too. At best they'll keep a creep factor until the midseason finale. *slowly slinks back into the Shadows*

*steps outside of Lurkers-R-Us Headquarters* It's a mess. Astroglide tweeted about going to comic con to give out free samples, and there was at least one tweet about giving (that) lube to Jensen and Misha as a kind of prank. I've seen 3 types of people since: those who think extreme shippers would follow through the prank, those who think extreme anti-shippers overreacted, and a few people who think it would be (or would have been) a funny prank. As I watched it all go down on tumblr (I have got to get off that site), I wondered if any of the 3 types realized they were "feeding" the other? *returns to LRU Headquarters*

I never post, I've been a chronic lurker since twop, but I had to say something here. I am so pleased to see others who appreciate the friendship between Dean and Cas *as a friendship*. Journeying too far into the bowels of the fandom had convinced me that the enjoyment of the platonic was no longer possible. I hope this little post didn't break any rules, and I apologize for the interruption. Do carry on.
