CALLING ALL SPN FANS -- 8.14 !!!!

[fannishliss]

Supernatural True Believers, If you have given up on this show, you are wrong.  Read these amazing lines from last night's ep and tell me you don't love this show anymore.  I DARE YOU.

Dean: We’ve been down roads like this before, man. With Yellow Eyes, Lucifer, Dick Frigging Roman. We both know where this ends; one of us dies. Or worse.

Sam: So you just up and decided it's going to be you.

Dean: I’m a grunt, Sam. You’re not. You’ve always been the brains of this operation. And you told me yourself, you see a way out. You see a light at the end of this ugly ass tunnel. I don’t. But I tell you what I do know, is that I’m going to die with a gun in my hand. Because that’s what I have waiting for me, that’s all I have waiting for me. I want you to get out. I want you to have a life, become a Man of Letters, whatever. You with a wife and kids and grandkids, living until you’re fat and bald and chugging Viagara. That is my perfect ending and it’s the only one I’m gonna get. So I’m gonna do these trials and I’m gonna do them alone. End of story.
But then Sam says:

Sam:  Closing the gates. It's a suicide mission for you. I want to slam hell shut too, okay? But I want to survive it. I want to live. And so should you. You have friends up here, family. Hell you've even got your own room now. You were right, 'kay. I see light at the end of this tunnel and I’m sorry you don’t. I am. But it’s there. And if you come with me, I can take you to it.

Dean: Sam, Be smart.

Sam: I am. And so are you. You’re not a grunt, Dean, you’re a genius. When it comes to lore...and you’re the best damn hunter I’ve ever seen. Better than me, better than dad. I believe in you, Dean, so please, please, believe in me too.


It's like the writers of this show live inside my heart.  Now I'm literally sobbing.  HOW are people not watching this, I swear to God!  I have been waiting for this dialogue for SIX YEARS!!!

Thanks to missyjack for the transcript of the best lines of any ep ever.

Sobs, and out.

Had my doubts about this season at first, but I'm REALLY loving it now. Last night's episode was superb.

I have been on board with s8 and I'm finding it really complex and subtle -- I know it didn't work for a lot of folks, but I hope spreading the buzz about the joy of this ep and the last three eps, that old fans will renew their enthusiasm.

Cheers!!!

I've been watching your artworks and they are beautiful :)

Oh BOYS.

Yeah, I've got to catch up.

[fannishliss.livejournal.com]

It's just so good.

I owe you a fic from a prompt long ago. I'm pondering it!! :)

How about that new woman character last night? We loved her. There is so much story there.

Plus, am I wrong, or was there a microcosm of Lear in those three sisters and that old dad?

I don't know, I only just saw 8x03, I haven't seen anything past. I do not mind being spoiled, but I can't comment with wisdom on canon I haven't seen.

[fannishliss.livejournal.com]

Well.... some folks did not love s8.... but I thought it was okay, and around 8.11 it began to get really awesome. I hope you will enjoy it!!

Have you written at all about Amelia?

I guess I should follow you on AO3 but I don't know how to do that yet.

[elliemurasaki.livejournal.com]

I have not got to Amelia in the Epic Bechdel Project--I haven't even got past Amy Pond--and the ep tag I meant for 8x01 never got written, so no.

ZOMG INORITE!!!11!1!
Best episode EVER!!!
I can't even process how happy I am.

[fannishliss.livejournal.com]

Me too! I'm so on board for the rest of s8 and s9!!!!

I was, so, so happy with last night's episode. It took me a minute there at the end, but when Sam actually talked to Dean about how he was feeling, I was totally on board.

[fannishliss.livejournal.com]

I was really, really glad that Sammy out and out addressed Dean's emotional insecurities -- told Dean he was a genius and that there was a way through for both of them.

I can pinpoint the moment I turned bi-bro. It was when Sam and Dean were in the cell and Henriksen came in to taunt them and Sammy stood up to defend his brother. Dean may never really see Sammy as an adult, because like a mum he will always see that little person who was the center of his whole world. But Sam is an adult now, and it's so good to see him turning the tables on Dean. You'd think that Dean would be able to see Sam who saved the whole world from Lucifer -- but there was too much grief there for Dean to see past. I think he is beginning to understand that he and Sam are two different people -- and hopefully, that he's not the lesser of the two.

These two brothers, I declare, they OWN ME.

It was sooooooooooooooooooo goooooooooooood! I too have been waiting that long for what they gave us last night. Yay!

[fannishliss.livejournal.com]

Yes, the last several episodes have really had me emotionally in a way that didn't last year. I am so excited. And now we get s9 as well!!

[datenshiblue.livejournal.com]

Definitely the kind of exchange I've been hoping for for a long time. This season has been hit or miss for me but the last couple of episodes have raised the tone.

[fannishliss.livejournal.com]

I think the first part of the season was about establishing both Sam and Dean's new commitment to Hunting for their own reasons and as adults. I think that Sam went through a lot in his grieving process, and Dean in purgatory, that turned out to be beneficial to both of them. It didn't play out in a predictable manner -- but I think in retrospect, you can see it playing out. :) I now have a faith in Jeremy Carver that despite Mystery Spot I never had before. :)
