summer_skinI don't know when tonight's Harper's Island caps will be up. I usually can't download it until Friday but this weekend is going to be MAD. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pipry23 is coming home! So for the next four days I don't know what the hell is going on. Party on Saturday, doing things tomorrow, etc, etc.
I'd like to get to at least 12,000 on my BigBang tonight, which I can SO do as I'm already at 11,029 right now but the next week is going to be HARD and weird trying to get it done. But I'm going to try my damnest, especially since I really think I can wrap this sucker up in 8000 words, maybe a little more. YAY!
This is the episode that I'd been spoiled for a couple months ago, I think during the last hiatus. All I knew is that the Winchesters were getting a brother, My initial response was that I hoped it was a shape shifter or something of the like. I definitely didn't want him to be something permanent. Not to compare the show as a whole with Buffy but the extra, secret sibling was tried in that show and, well, it wasn't the best decision, not by a long shot.
By the end of the episode, though, the way they revealed that, indeed, the brother was going to only be a one-shot, it was heartbreaking. If only it'd been some sort of elaborate ruse to trick the boys... but instead it only proves that everything the Winchesters touch turns to shit. Once again. I thought that if the brother turned out to be a permanent thing that maybe he would have ended up like Connor on Angel and been sent to live a normal life or something.
John Winchester is a fucking shitty father. Period. The look on Dean's face when he realized that John had taken Adam to a ball game and never him was heartwrenching. John couldn't even be there for Christmas for his kids when they were younger but he could make it to his secret kid's birthdays (yes, only a couple of them but still. He was there). If he really wanted this kid to have a normal life he would have never gone back to see him. Period. No matter how much the kid wanted to meet him.
I did really like the line that Dean said that John wasn't a monk. That makes me want to read fics where Sam and Dean know what their father was up to and just how little of a monk he was. I wonder if they knew details or if they just expected that after all that time their dad would find someone else or multiple someone's to lose himself to.
While sorting the caps and thinking about the final scene when Dean says Sam's a lot more like John and talking about how he tried so hard his whole life to emulate the man he looked up to and Sam just was like John, even as he fought against him--that whole thing made me feel like this is a bit of closure to their father and his influence on them. I don't know why ad I don't know if I'm explaining that right but it felt kind of like Jo's last scene in 214 when you just knew that was the end of her on the show. Not that John will never be referenced, of course, but as far as him having some sort of influence over the storyline or having an impact on the boys' lives like this again, for some reason I got the feeling that part of it was over.
When I first saw the mom I thought it was the woman who played the mom from 112 "Faith" way back when. But it turns out she's DeeDee Phfiffer or whatever, Michelle's sister. Who was on Cybil, back in the day. I liked that show...
I was happy to see no Castiel, honestly. I'm starting to come around on Misha but I'm still irked at Castiel. It was nice to see him NOT swoop in to save the day and, asgwentastic would say, not to have surprise!Castiel.
I liked the episode overall. It felt like old school SPN but at the same time there was a definite new twist to it. That Sam and Dean really have switched places on their views on things is truly telling and I love watching how that gets expressed.

Purple toothbrush! I love how casual Sam is about brushing his teeth with no water, no sink and, from the looks of it, no toothpaste. Also, I wish I could sleep in a car and look like this in the morning. Hell, I wish I could sleep in a BED and look like this in the morning.
Poor Dean, all crunched up in the front. He and Sam probablynaked jello wrestled to see who could have the backseat.
This kid's eyes creeped me out.
See?
Really great photoshopping or did JDM do some favours for the show?
Tastes like chicken?
Again, this episode seemed to push the boundaries of what they showed on screen. The headless body was one thing, then all the blood and cutting on Sam (Hello trigger!) and then Dean beating the ever-living snot out of not!brother!brother.
