spn 4.16 "On the Head of a Pin"

[the_milky_way]

Yes, I am awake, but I have not been to bed yet. I will go after I posted this.
So no guaranty that this is even anywhere near being coherent.

I haven't read any reviews yet, might do that when I am awake again.



I can't say I am too fond of seeing Anna again.

Nice crash scene there.
Goodbye sister? So they are killing angels similar to demons? Interesting.
The wongs thing looked impressive.

Hi Impala.
Sammy is driving?

"Home. Crappy home."
So Dean.

Cas. Okay.

"We raised you out of hell for our purposes."
Nice to now.
Nice to see that even the angels aren't on the same side there.

They don't know who is killing the angels. And they want Dean to torture him. That is so nasty.
Fucking angels.

Forcing Dean to do it? Yeah, not so great.

Sam's face when they vanish on him says it all. Dammit.

"You can't make me do this." Oh Dean I wish you'd be right.

Junkless. LOL
Uriel the funniest angel? Really.

Getting too close the humans? Doubts? Impairs his judgement? Should I feel sorry for Cas now?
And as much as I like Dean calling Cas, it still sounds a little off to me.
*shrugs*

Oh Dean.

They really don't care about the human beings do they?
I mean the angles are actually willing to let Dean do the same things he resents having done in hell?
How are they any better than the demons there?
And what happened to the demones being possessed humans they want to save?
Are they foregetting all about that now? I don't really get it.

Oh Dean.

Oh Sam.

Is it me or does Sam look younger and younger each ep?
It's so clear that he deeply cares for Dean. He only called Ruby to safe his brother and to not have him have to torture someone (even a demon).
But Sam thinks Dean isn't strong enough anymore.
Hmm, and now he wants to do it all to save Dean.
They really are their greatets weekness.
I just don't like that he asks Ruby for help.

Alcohol never helps Dean.

Okay, so I think Alastair's talking is getting on my nerves there.
But then that might just me being too tired. Or it's just the voice.
It's creepy though. Really creepy.

Okay, now it's getting interesting. Oh Dean, you have learned some things.
Dean really left a part of his soul/himself in the pit. Oh this will be so interesting.
Yeah, no.. not so hot.

Sam's so broken.
He wants to save Dean.

The Fuck. She is allowed to call him Sammy now?
I so don't like that.
I am not even sure if she really wants to help Sam or just get back at Lilith.

Dude, gross.
SAMMY! Not cool.
I know why he is doing it but dude... And yeah, I don't like that smile/smirk. Not all.
Can we maybe try and fight her now? Just a suggestion.
I know Sam wants to get stronger but I don't know if this the rigth way.
And really isn't it just the blood of the dead host the demon is in or is there really something in the blood?????

And really? Doesn't Sam have enough demon blood in him already?

I'd watch the Devil's Trap if I were you Dean.

So Anna was destroyed. *sighs*

Why does Jensen always have chemistry with men and almost never with the women he is supposed to have it?
Because dude, creepy-hot in a very strange way.

So not God's orders then? The angels are being played? Yeah, makes sense in a way.

And I have to say that Anna has way more chemistry with Castiel than she ever had with Dean.

Castiel and doubt? Interesting combination I think.

Destryoing the only weapon the angels have? Well isn't that how the ep ends with Dean telling Castiel not look for someone else?
Nice.

I kind of like Dean's intense face.

Okay, I like Sam's intense face as well.
And is me or did his eyes were darker just there?

Oh!
Oh, Dean broke the first seal?
Oh God, another thing on his guilt agenda then... That man is so broken now.
Dude, the angst there.
Look at his face. Oh Dean...

So if they brun earth down where do they get their fresh meat from?

Don't runs their back on a demon Dean. Ouch.

So now it's Dean getting chocked.

Nice knife trick there.

Cas gets the shit kicked out of him.

Is it a threat to send someone back to heaven?

Sammy! Oh my gosh, those powers.
Cas doesn't look all that happy about it. He even looks surprised about it.
Not a good sign.

So not a demon?

Oh Sam can send you back. Sammy.. oh boy.

"I am stronger than that now. Now, I can kill."
I don't know if he should be that happy about it.
Sam!

Boy, will he have to fight aganist the dark side.

I always hate seeing Dean like that.

I however like Sam getting all territorial there.
He wants Dean to be safe. He wants Dean to be okay.

Sam can tell when demons lie and when not. Dude, I am not sure this is going to be good.
I am still hoping though. It's Sam. He isn't bad. And there is still Dean. Dean hasn't given up yet.
Who knows what he will do when he gets to know what Sam has been doing.

Castiel has doubts.

"I am considering disobedience."

Oh that will be interesting.

Someone manipulated the water pipe.
Demons can't kill angles but angels can.

It's Uriel.

He really hates humanity. And he doesn't really believe in God anymore. He believes in Lucifer.
That's dangerous. So Uriel has doubts as well but oly because humanity still exsists. Wow.
It's kind of a fatalistic stand on things.

So now angles want to help the apocalypse as well. Oh boy, do we even have a chance?

Angels fighting.
Cas is afraid.

Angels who don't believe in God.

Anna saves the day.
The question over questions.. Is there a God or not.
Huh...

Yes, Dean's guilt trip just grew a huge chunk.

Fate? Awesome.. not.

"You have to stop it."
Great. How is he supposed to do that? Any ideas Cas? Maybe die again?

Good question Dean. What does it mean?

Awesome tell a man that the fate of humanity rest on him while he is already down. Nice.

Oh Dean.

And can I say that I kind of hate that Sam was missing in that last scene? I wanted him to be there.
Just to be there and hear it. I so know Dean won't tell him about that. Bah.... Boys.

Okay, I get that they need episodes to tell the myth arch and I like dhtis episode because it told a lot of things, made things clear.
I just don't like not seeing so much of Sam and Dean, or you know, SamandDean.
But that's just me, that doesn't mean I didn't like the ep as an episode, because I did strangely enough.

There are parts in this episode that I know are important top the whole myth arch and to the future plot development and all that but some of those parts I didn't like.
I didn't hate them but I don't really know what to think of them. If I had to rate this episode I'd say I have seen better but I have seen worse as well. It's just feels a little off to me.
Maybe because there are so many things in there, so many things have ben told, said and have been revealed that I probably need to watch it again to actually get a real opinion about things.

One thing is clear now, Ruby definitely has her own agenda, and all I can do is hope that Sam actually will be the one to off her or see what she is doing with him.
That would be justice in a way. But I guess it will be Dean or Cas or whomever they will send if they should decide to kill her in the end (which would maybe make more sense than dragging her into season 5 and dragging it all out).

I am slightly dissatisfied with the Dean - Castiel scenes (yes I refuse to use a slash here because I just know shippers are all over it already and it's totally fine, because I can see it and I'd be really happy with it if I would actually ship them).
I know those scenes were intense and were supposed to be that way but they felt rushed, liked maybe too many big things put into one single scene/episode.
I don't know. I don't hate them or anything, it's just a feeling I have.

I am not really sure what to think about the fact that they broke Dean even more. It makes sense on certain levels and yes it is a huge burden put upon him, it makes sense that he refuses it. There are already way too many things on his shoulders. I just don't know if they had to make into such a guilt trip thing. It's not like I don't like but sometimes I think it's maybe a little too much. But then again the guy has been in hell and just now the angels sort of forced him to torture and then told him that he is only one being able to stop the apocalypse. What an awesome feeling it must be to hear those things when you are in a relatively unstable state of mind.
Dean has a lot to worry about, mostly Sam, and now this has been added to it as well? Even if it is out of his control.
God, how much do they want to break him?

Also, way too few SamandDean scenes.

I kind of feel of because all I have been seeing around where squee posts and how awesome it was. It was awesome, but I feel like all the things I noted here and wrote about doesn't really mirror that sentiment all that much. No idea if it really comes across that way but I am not feeling all squeey about this ep because there have been so many things in it that I have to think about.
It was all intense (and sometimes maybe a little bit like bad!fic concerning certain dialogues, but I can overlook that for the things that I liked).


Anyway, sooooo looking forward to next week. This will be hilarious.

OMG hun....
just finished watching it.... O.O

first thing....
THAT BITCH HAS TO DIE RIGHT THE FUCKING NOW!!!!!
because you don't get to fed Sammy with your dirty blood and call him SAMMY????!!!!!!!
wtfffffffffffffff???!!!!!!!!

Only Dean can do that!!!!!

Also...
now Dean broke the first Seal?
oh poor baby... as if he wasn't already feeling guilty enough... :(

the scene in the hospital killed me... very "In my time of dying"
ç____ç but I want to shout at the world that Sam still cares about his brother!!!!!!!!!
I so hope they are going to recruit him and give him a chance which is not following the bitch or something.....

[the_milky_way]

LOL
Well, I kind of like that Ruby seems to have her own agenda makes the character more believable and not just some love sick groupie that is following Sam around. I just don't like her calling him Sammy,
Sam has so many reason to do it, so many reason he thinks are right. He thinks is doing it for the good, but what his powers are doing to do him? Not so good I think.

Yeah, poor Dean, as if he doesn't have enough thinks to care, worry, feel guilty about.

Sam so does care for him. He is doing it for Dean and for no one else.
We'll see how that will turn out in the end.

[silme711.livejournal.com]

I love the fact that it was supposed to be John to break the first seal...but poor Dean.
But Jensen? Jeez, he was fantastic.

[the_milky_way]

Yeah that John twist made even more intense, especially since now Dean doesn't only feel guilty about breaking the seal but about failing his father again... and yeah, sometimes I think it's a bit too much but right now it still works.

Oh yes... Jensen can so pull it off.

[ahania.livejournal.com]

They're tearing the boys apart right now but they'll put them back together when it's over *hugs*

[the_milky_way]

I really hope so.
i mean it would make sense for the whole plot and telling the story and all that.. but yeah...

I feel like saying Oh Boys over and over again.. .)

*hugs back*

[purequicksilver.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm so scared about Dean! He seemed almost nothing like the Dean we know, right? This scared-out-of-his-mind, totally exhausted, broken man in the hospital bed wasn't really Dean anymore, and I miss him like hell. I feel so sorry for him, just want to hug him. I just want our old Dean back. :(

[the_milky_way]

Meeep. Yes. exactly.
There is so much he is going through, worrying about and feeling guilty for right now. He is so utterly broken.

I really wish Sammy had been there in the room to just see him like that. But I guess that would have made the whole plan for the rest of the season worthless ;)

[force-oblique.livejournal.com]

This epi killed me dead!
That is all! lol

[the_milky_way]

*lol*

That's quite enough and says it all... :D
*hugs*

[force-oblique.livejournal.com]

YEs absolutely!
And i am so tired :(
