    <content type="html">This may actually truly be me seeing something that isn&amp;#39;t there, but I&amp;#39;m not willing to rule out the possibility that it means something.&amp;nbsp; *G*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we get the horrified reaction shot when Sam first sees Amelia, and it cuts to her, this is what we see, for a split second:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://msdori.livejournal.com/pics/catalog/1191/26590" target="_blank" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="SPN_1226" height="337" src="https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/msdori/422843/26590/26590_600.jpg" title="SPN_1226" width="600" fetchpriority="high" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tell me that&amp;#39;s not a halo.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And a RED halo, at that, though I think the white thing (which is also halo-shaped) behind her head, and the white light glare ameliorate the red somewhat.&amp;nbsp; (Okay, I did not mean to make that pun, but I&amp;#39;ll let it stand.&amp;nbsp; *G*)&amp;nbsp; She moves from right in front of that spot, so the effect only lasts for a second, but even when she moves, she&amp;#39;s still got all that red wall behind her.&amp;nbsp; That much red wall is never a good sign in this show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually, I&amp;#39;ve been using the term halo, since I first started noticing all the red in the show, to describe something that we see directly behind or at the side of somebody&amp;#39;s head, very close to or touching their hair, like red lights, or a red sign, or the tall back of a red diner booth, or even, as in this photo, a red wall.&amp;nbsp; Sometimes there are halos of different colors, but the red ones &lt;i&gt;always&lt;/i&gt; ping for me, and they pretty much mean Trouble with a capital T. I&amp;#39;ve never seen anything this blatant, though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This one is also unusual because it is literally the brightest lit thing in the shot; everything else is indirectly lit EXCEPT that very round patch of wall directly behind her head. We&amp;#39;re &lt;i&gt;supposed&lt;/i&gt; to notice that shape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(As a side note, because somebody &lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt; should have warned Amelia about Sam Winchester&amp;#39;s Amazing Peen o&amp;#39; Death, I really want to see a music vid to Jen Titus&amp;#39; O Death using all Sam&amp;#39;s romantic encounters.&amp;nbsp; Hey, maybe that&amp;#39;s why she&amp;#39;s got a red halo!&amp;nbsp; She&amp;#39;ll soon be singing with the angels!&amp;nbsp; Or, you know, something.)</content>

(This show has conditioned me to notice red things, especially red things near people&amp;#39;s heads.) Both the neon sign and the placard have strong connotations of &amp;quot;this may not be the truth you&amp;#39;re seeing&amp;quot; and the three elements, Sam, sign and placard, cover almost the whole frame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not making this shit up, y&amp;#39;all. &amp;nbsp;There is something going on with Sam that we don&amp;#39;t know about yet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(caps from &lt;a href="http://www.homeofthenutty.com/supernatural/" target="_blank" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;homeofthenutty&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;</content>

And &lt;/i&gt;Richardson&lt;i&gt;, because after last season, I do not think &lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;anything&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt; that can even remotely be connected with &amp;quot;Dick&amp;quot; is a coincidence.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it&amp;#39;s more than just the names.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s that she&amp;#39;s shown to be pretty much a female version of Dean, what with all the loss issues and the extreme amount of booze she drinks:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://msdori.livejournal.com/pics/catalog/1191/24937" target="_blank" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Filename=SPN_1223.jpg Filesize" height="337" src="https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/msdori/422843/24937/24937_600.jpg" title="Filename=SPN_1223.jpg Filesize" width="600" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out the countertop by the sink, and the windowsill, and the shelf of the island in the right foreground.&amp;nbsp; And there&amp;#39;s more booze on the coffee table that&amp;#39;s just outside the shot; we see it when Sam comes in and sits on the sofa.&amp;nbsp; She reminds me very strongly of the succubus in &amp;quot;Sex and Violence,&amp;quot; who got to Dean by being the ideal version of his brother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also?&amp;nbsp; Her husband&amp;#39;s name was Don.&amp;nbsp; Show lampshaded that one when she asks Sam, &amp;quot;Do you want to talk about Dean?&amp;quot; and he says, a moment later, &amp;quot;Do you want to talk about Don?&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m cocking my Skeptical Eyebrow at that, yo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what REALLY makes me give her the side-eye is this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Sam chases after the dog and into Amelia&amp;#39;s motel room, we get this shot:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://msdori.livejournal.com/pics/catalog/1191/24737" target="_blank" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="sam amelia begin" height="168" src="https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/msdori/422843/24737/24737_300.jpg" title="sam amelia begin" width="300" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice the divider wall, here.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s between Sam, at the door, and Amelia, whose POV we&amp;#39;re seeing.&amp;nbsp; But that divider isn&amp;#39;t just shelves.&amp;nbsp; The vertical supports suggest prison bars.&amp;nbsp; Here, Sam is on the outside and Amelia is on the inside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next morning, though, we see a different story, again from Amelia&amp;#39;s POV:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" height="169" src="https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/msdori/422843/16192/16192_600.jpg" style="border-width: 0px; border-style: solid;" title="" width="300" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that&amp;#39;s not all.&amp;nbsp; We get to this shot because the camera, which starts out facing the end of the bed on Sam&amp;#39;s side of the divider, pulls back and pans around the divider wall to look back at Sam through the bars as Amelia picks up her keys and gets ready to leave. We literally see the bars close around Sam until he&amp;#39;s penned in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wondered when I saw this scene why Show made such a point of Amelia picking up her keys from the coffee table.&amp;nbsp; Here&amp;#39;s why:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://msdori.livejournal.com/pics/catalog/1191/23930" target="_blank" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Filename=SPN_0844.jpg Filesize" height="168" src="https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/msdori/422843/23930/23930_300.jpg" title="Filename=SPN_0844.jpg Filesize" width="300" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is Sam&amp;#39;s POV, the reverse angle on the previous cap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where, before he spent the night in Amelia&amp;#39;s bed, we&amp;#39;d seen open doors around Sam, now the door is &lt;i&gt;closed&lt;/i&gt;, and it&amp;#39;s &lt;i&gt;on the other side of the bars&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;nbsp; And not only that, Amelia is standing right in the path Sam would need&amp;nbsp; to use to get out of the room, and &lt;i&gt;she&amp;#39;s holding the key to the door.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, take another look at one of the open-door shots:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://msdori.livejournal.com/pics/catalog/1191/22326" target="_blank" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Filename=SPN_0803.jpg Filesize" height="168" src="https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/msdori/422843/22326/22326_300.jpg" title="Filename=SPN_0803.jpg Filesize" width="300" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://msdori.livejournal.com/pics/catalog/1191/22326" target="_blank" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look there, in the bottom right of the doorway, just underneath the dog&amp;#39;s hindquarters.&amp;nbsp; There&amp;#39;s the prison bar imagery again, and Sam&amp;#39;s on the inside of it.&amp;nbsp; And this is the &lt;i&gt;first time we ever see him with Amelia&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe Amelia&amp;#39;s something Sam&amp;#39;s subconscious conjured up, or maybe she&amp;#39;s one of Crowley&amp;#39;s minions, or some supernatural monster; whatever she is--and I absolutely do not for&lt;i&gt; one second&lt;/i&gt; think that she&amp;#39;s &amp;quot;just a girl&amp;quot;--she is Very Bad News, and MARK MY WORDS, NO GOOD WILL COME OF HER.&amp;nbsp; Because he doesn&amp;#39;t know it, but she&amp;#39;s had him in some kind of trap from the minute they met, and even if he did abandon her, he&amp;#39;s probably not clear of it yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caps from &lt;a href="http://homeofthenutty.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;Home of the Nutty&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</content>

That one made a big point of the fact that she had something her brother had given her that had to be destroyed, and we all knew it was foreshadowing the boys having to destroy Bobby&amp;#39;s flask.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we have an episode that made a big point of Sam and Dean destroying all the soldier&amp;#39;s effects, except, wait, there&amp;#39;s one thing that they missed, something somebody took before they had to do the salt and burn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And we have Garth, who has kept Bobby&amp;#39;s hat. The hat that Bobby had clearly worn so much it was ragged around the edges, so much that Dean recognized it right off. And, seeing as how it was Bobby&amp;#39;s, there&amp;#39;s a good chance that he bled on it at some point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could just be grasping at straws, here, because, I did not handle Bobby being dead very well at all, but that parallel--in a season that so far is practically using &amp;quot;parallels&amp;quot; as a damn theme--along with that last, &amp;quot;Balls!&amp;quot; just before Garth drives away, is just way too much of a point by point match to the season 7 episode for me to dismiss the notion that Show may be opening a loophole that would allow them to bring Actual Bobby back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for Sam? Well, do you remember the M*A*S*H series finale, where Hawkeye is in the psych ward and everybody&amp;#39;s trying to get him to remember what sent him there in the first place? We kept getting the story in a series of flashbacks, and it was clear that Hawkeye was sanitizing his memories, changing the horrible thing into something he could deal with, until finally he was able to remember the actual event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sam&amp;#39;s flashbacks have been so extremely NORMAL, almost idyllic, especially in comparison with Dean&amp;#39;s flashbacks, and that is scaring the crap out of me, because the Winchesters &lt;i&gt;do not get to have&lt;/i&gt; normal. There&amp;#39;s something very, very bad underneath that normal that we&amp;#39;re seeing, and it&amp;#39;s going to come out, sooner or later. When Sam said his world &amp;quot;imploded&amp;quot; when Dean disappeared, I think he was underplaying things. It wouldn&amp;#39;t surprise me to find out that losing Dean on top of all the mental issues he had last season just completely broke him, maybe even to the point that he ended up locked away again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;ve been thinking for a while now that things with Sam aren&amp;#39;t what they seem, and last night&amp;#39;s flashback, when we see Sam and Amelia in bed, really made me sit up straight in my chair, because their bedspread was covered with flowers.&amp;nbsp; So what, you say?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, &lt;i&gt;set dressing on this show is not random&lt;/i&gt; (the &lt;a href="http://msdori.livejournal.com/77419.html" target="_blank"&gt;wallpaper in &amp;quot;Sex and Violence,&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt; for example).&amp;nbsp; And one of the recurring motifs in this show is that &lt;a href="http://hearseeno.livejournal.com/10703.html" target="_blank"&gt;flowers mean secrets&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; So there&amp;#39;s something we don&amp;#39;t know about Amelia, and about Amelia and Sam.&amp;nbsp; (Given the nature of the women Sam has slept with in the series, if Amelia turns out to be some kind of supernatural something or other, I will be SO not surprised.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was so much about this episode that just made the hair on the back of my neck stand up, wow.&amp;nbsp; By the end of the ep, I was pretty much sitting there chewing on my knuckles, saying, &amp;quot;That was all &lt;i&gt;wrong&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Sam and Dean are &lt;i&gt;wrong&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Everything about this is &lt;i&gt;wrong&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; like, &lt;i&gt;Pet Sematary&lt;/i&gt; kind of wrong. I wasn&amp;#39;t sure about this season until last week, but man.&amp;nbsp; If things go the way I think they&amp;#39;re headed, this is going to be a roller coaster of epic proportions, even for Show.</content>

    <title>Supernatural:  Something About Benny</title>

    <content type="html">I&amp;#39;ve been seeing a lot of posts about the buttload of parallels between Benny and Sam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not just coincidence, and it&amp;#39;s not just parallels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;ve seen a lot of posts that talk about Benny as &amp;quot;Dean&amp;#39;s new boyfriend.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; But I don&amp;#39;t think that&amp;#39;s where this is going.&amp;nbsp; I think Show is positioning Benny as another Winchester brother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, not literally, the age is totally wrong.&amp;nbsp; And not to Sam and Dean.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s the audience Show is pitching this to.&amp;nbsp; To us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The title of the episode is &amp;quot;Blood Brother.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all know what &amp;quot;blood brothers&amp;quot; means--people who aren&amp;#39;t actually related by blood forge kinship with each other by literally mingling their blood.&amp;nbsp; But the title of the episode is &amp;quot;Blood Brother,&amp;quot; singular.&amp;nbsp; Is it Dean, or is it Benny? &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Benny calls Dean &amp;quot;brother.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; AND DEAN LETS HIM. &amp;quot;Brother&amp;quot; is not a word Dean takes lightly, it&amp;#39;s not a word he&amp;#39;s going to let just anybody use in seriousness.&amp;nbsp; I can only think of one person, in fact, who gets to call Dean that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Traditionally, people become blood brothers by each of the parties cutting themselves enough to bleed and pressing the open wounds together so the blood from each is mixed with the other&amp;#39;s.&amp;nbsp; &lt;strike&gt;However, I don&amp;#39;t imagine that&amp;#39;s a good idea if one of the parties is a vampire and the other one has to remain human in order to escape from Purgatory&lt;/strike&gt;. ETA: &amp;nbsp;Wow, I REALLY did not expect Show to ACTUALLY GO THERE. &amp;nbsp;/ETA &amp;nbsp;So I&amp;#39;m guessing what happened is that Dean offered Benny his blood at some dire point, and Benny drank it.&amp;nbsp; In Benny&amp;#39;s eyes, that might be enough of a reason to call Dean &amp;quot;brother.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; But what about Dean?&amp;nbsp; Does he count Benny as a blood brother?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know that Dean and Benny did something in Purgatory that Dean doesn&amp;#39;t regret &amp;quot;for a minute.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; He&amp;#39;s very clear that it&amp;#39;s something they both participated in, and the fact that he has to say he doesn&amp;#39;t regret it means it&amp;#39;s something he thinks he should regret, that somebody else *cough*sam*cough* might not approve of, and it has to do with the title of the episode.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#39;s clear from the episode that the reason Dean actually brought Benny back instead of bleeding him out in a ditch somewhere is that Benny saved Cas&amp;#39; life.&amp;nbsp; But Dean cares what happens to Benny, or he wouldn&amp;#39;t have gone to him when Benny called asking for help.&amp;nbsp; He didn&amp;#39;t seem happy about parting ways, if not permanently, then for a long time, and he hugged back when Benny hugged him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Except--Dean Winchester really doesn&amp;#39;t hug people he&amp;#39;s not attached to.&amp;nbsp; Heck, he doesn&amp;#39;t even touch people in a non-sexual way unless he cares about them a lot, except to shake hands or pull them out of danger, and he even avoids shaking hands when he can.&amp;nbsp; So Benny is important to Dean, and not just because he saved Cas.&amp;nbsp; Benny is someone Dean feels he needs to protect--just look at the way he warns Sam off when Sam is getting ready to pull a weapon on Benny.&amp;nbsp; That&amp;#39;s his &amp;quot;don&amp;#39;t fuck with my family&amp;quot; face, and the fact that he has to pull it on Sam is huge.&amp;nbsp; Sam knew it, too, and was really not happy about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&amp;#39;t think Dean consciously thinks of Benny as a blood brother, but it sure seems to be the way he&amp;#39;s treating him.&amp;nbsp; And Sam certainly doesn&amp;#39;t, and probably won&amp;#39;t.&amp;nbsp; But the audience is definitely meant to be starting to think of Benny that way, because for seven years, Show has used the song &amp;quot;Wayward Son&amp;quot; in connection with the Winchesters.&amp;nbsp; I don&amp;#39;t know any SPN fan who hears it and doesn&amp;#39;t immediately think of Sam and Dean, no matter where we are or what we&amp;#39;re doing.&amp;nbsp; So when the writers have Benny&amp;#39;s maker call him his &amp;quot;wayward son,&amp;quot; they&amp;#39;re counting on the accumulated weight of seven years of tradition to snap that connection into place for us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you&amp;#39;re wondering why you all of a sudden like Benny a lot more after this episode?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That&amp;#39;s why.</content>

    <content type="html">Okay, so, I mentioned Shakespeare references in &lt;i&gt;Teen Wolf&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um, Cliff Notes for the show:&lt;br /&gt;Scott is bitten by an alpha werewolf, becomes a werewolf himself, falls hard for Allison, the daughter of the werewolf hunters who&amp;#39;ve just come to town. Allison&amp;#39;s aunt gets killed by the alpha for killing almost his entire family in a house fire that landed him in long-term care until just recently. He&amp;#39;s crazy as a bedbug, gets put down by his nephew, who then becomes alpha. Allison&amp;#39;s grandfather comes to town looking for revenge; meanwhile, the captain of the lacrosse team (I got nothin, there...) begs to be bitten, but turns into a reptilian revenge monster controlled by another student (and Allison&amp;#39;s grandfather, who&amp;#39;s controlling the student). Allison&amp;#39;s mom tries to kill Scott and gets bitten herself when the alpha shows up to rescue him. Hunter rules say she has to kill herself before she turns, but she misses the timing by &lt;i&gt;thaaaaaaat&lt;/i&gt; much and is already changed when she stabs herself (apparently) to death. Grandpa whips Allison and her dad into a fury of revenge. Shit, meet fan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since it&amp;#39;s a show about a teen werewolf and his werewolf-hunting girlfriend, we&amp;#39;ll just take all the &lt;i&gt;Romeo and Juliet&lt;/i&gt; references as read, with one exception which I&amp;#39;ll get to later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They&amp;#39;ve also referenced &lt;i&gt;Macbeth&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Hamlet&lt;/i&gt;. Interestingly, both of those, AND the one R&amp;amp;J bit that&amp;#39;s not immediately obvious, come from Gerard Argent, the extremely suspicious patriarch of the hunter family. He quotes &amp;quot;something wicked this way comes,&amp;quot; from Mac, which, okay, talking about werewolves here, so, from his POV, maybe, but I think he will turn out to have been referring to himself, because GERARD IS NOT WHAT HE SEEMS. The Hamlet reference is much more interesting; he tells his son Chris not to act like he (Chris) is Hamlet and Gerard is the poison king whispering in his ear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thing I find really interesting about that Hamlet reference is that he&amp;rsquo;s casting himself not in the role of Hamlet&amp;rsquo;s father, which, since Chris is his son, you&amp;rsquo;d think would be the case, but as &lt;i&gt;Claudius&lt;/i&gt;. Who tricked Hamlet into a rigged fight with a former friend. I&amp;rsquo;m going out on a limb here and saying that former friend would be Derek, who knows Chris Argent well enough to call him by his first name. Even the dead sister fits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My guess is that Chris will find out, in the fight which seems inevitable at the end of the episode, exactly how Victoria came to be bitten, and that&amp;rsquo;s going to make him turn on Gerard. I wouldn&amp;rsquo;t be surprised if Gerard&amp;rsquo;s omnipresent pill case becomes the parallel to Claudius&amp;rsquo; poison in the cup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, for the R&amp;amp;J thing. Gerard quotes a line from 1.1, when Romeo is bitching at Benvolio, dead set on being MISERABLE OMG. Here&amp;#39;s the speech the line appears in; I&amp;#39;ve italicized the line Gerard quotes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Why, such [being miserable] is love&amp;#39;s transgression.&lt;br /&gt;Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast,&lt;br /&gt;Which thou wilt propagate, to have it prest&lt;br /&gt;With more of thine: this love that thou hast shown&lt;br /&gt;Doth add more grief to too much of mine own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers&amp;#39; eyes;&lt;br /&gt;Being vex&amp;#39;d a sea nourish&amp;#39;d with lovers&amp;#39; tears:&lt;br /&gt;What is it else? a madness most discreet,&lt;br /&gt;A choking gall and a preserving sweet.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gerard, damn his eyes, does to Allison exactly what Romeo is accusing Benvolio of doing: using his &amp;quot;grief&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;worry&amp;quot; about his granddaughter to magnify her own grief at her mother&amp;#39;s death (and he SO had his fingers all up in THAT pie, yo)to the point where she&amp;#39;s so overwhelmed by it that she completely rejects anything youthful or girlish, and closes herself down into a killing machine. Like, um, well. Lady Macbeth, who pretty much does the same thing with words instead of physically smashing &lt;i&gt;all her stuff&lt;/i&gt;. If there&amp;#39;s something wicked coming, like the kanima, or a scary-ass teenage killing machine, Gerard sent it in this direction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

Victoria Argent isn&amp;#39;t staying dead.&amp;nbsp; Stabbed in the heart, left on a hospital gurney, but AFTER it&amp;#39;s clear that she&amp;#39;s already turned.&lt;br /&gt;2. Gerard is some kind of shifter himself, AND he was controlling Matt some of the time Matt thought he was controlling Jackson; he&amp;#39;s WAY stronger than he wants people to think, even his son.&lt;br /&gt;3. Chris Argent is gonna switch sides and help Scott and Derek take down Gerard, I&amp;#39;m guessing BEFORE he finds out that his wife isn&amp;#39;t really dead.&lt;br /&gt;4. Jackson has been able to subvert the orders from Matt and Gerard, and has actually been protecting people for a lot longer than ep 11 (yay Tumblr spoilers), besides which, he&amp;#39;s probably the most broken of all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Because I know there's a couple people on my flist who will appreciate this...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, so I'm rewatching Season 1, and I get to "Bugs," which is probably my second least favorite episode ("Yellow Fever" is at the top.  By a country mile.) and I don't know how I missed this when it aired, because at the time I was a SHAKESPEARE GRAD STUDENT OMG, but there's this exchange:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SAM: (carrying box of skulls)  Question is, why bugs?  And why now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DEAN:  Eh, that's two questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Compare to my favorite bit from Hamlet:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HAMLET:  What's his weapon?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OSRIC:  Rapier and dagger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HAMLET:  That's two of his weapons, but well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, SHOW.  How I love you.  *G*  Because, DEAN IS HAMLET-- a snarky smartass with Daddy issues.  *flails*  Also, points for finding a (relatively) obscure reference from FRIGGING HAMLET.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(edited to fix the damn quote)</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had to see it in a still before I really went back to look, but when Sam is leaving, he gets his stuff out of the Impala and as he walks toward the truck, he runs his hand along the fender, and then turns to look at the car one last time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://pics.livejournal.com/msdori/pic/0001csz3" fetchpriority="high"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, SAM.  It's clear Dean isn't going to let you hug him, so you do the next best thing.  *wibble*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I've seen some people saying that in that scene the boys know they'll be seeing each other again, but really?  I don't think so. Sam is saying goodbye, there, and it doesn't look temporary.  I, er, have had some experience of watching a permanent goodbye (DC/LD), and this definitely looked like one to me.  Sam doesn't expect to ever see his brother again, given that the Apocalypse doesn't come with coffee breaks, and neither does Dean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think the second most heartbreaking scene for me was when Sam pushes Dean, and Dean goes all stone-faced.  He looks at Sam the way he looked at Alastair just before he stuck that knife in and twisted, and I think maybe in that moment he really hated Sam.  It didn't last, of course, but just for a moment, it was there.  Sam's hurting him as much as Alastair did, and maybe more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was so much I loved about this episode, wow.  The scene with Castiel, holy SHIT. And also, GUH.  And I love the way Bobby steps in to &lt;strike&gt;keep Castiel from shoving Dean against a wall and swabbing his tonsils&lt;/strike&gt; defuse the situation.  (Really, I kinda had to squint hard and look sideways to see Dean/Castiel last season, but, uh.  That scene was just, um.  I'll be in my bunk.) I'm still not sure if I think Cas whammied Dean into giving him the amulet or Dean just felt like he owed Cas after that speech.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm glad Kripke answered some of the questions raised in last week's episode, like, if Cas hid the boys from &lt;i&gt;all&lt;/i&gt; the angels, how was he going to find them again?  And, who really pulled their fat out of the fire?  Cell phone.  Hee!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ellen was AWESOME.  &lt;b&gt;AWE. SUM.&lt;/b&gt;  I'm with all the folks who are wishing for a spate of Dean/Ellen fic, because,"Yes, ma'am"????  &lt;i&gt;Teh hot.&lt;/i&gt;  And poor Dean, is he going to have holy water dashed in his face &lt;i&gt;every&lt;/i&gt; time he runs across someone he knows?  I so love Jensen's long-suffering sigh every time it happens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day I'm going to have to go back and have a hard look at the recurring motifs that aren't red.  There's mirrors, fires in fireplaces, Madonnas, Sam and flowers, and there's an entire thesis in hotel wallpaper, man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know Show isn't going to hit this mark every week, but I'm expecting to see it hit close most of the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Show, you're breaking my heart, &lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt; but ILU anyway.</content>
