supernatural s15e1 back and to the future (w. andrew dabb)
find it a little weird that they're using the bob seger famous final scene song for the season premiere big recap thing, they used this song in an episode - for kevin's funeral pyre in 9x10. maybe they've reused a song like that (poignant moment within an ep and then a recap, they reuse recap songs certainly) before and i just didn't notice, did this time because that song is in my main playlist from when i watched that s9 episode. typing all that up, what a pointless thing to care about. not sure i vibe with the clips and music selection but they're really hit or miss for me in general. music thematically, yes. anything else, ehh
also been thinking like. i don't see why s13-14 (and 15 remains to be seen, obviously) are said to be so much worse than say, s7-12 (though 11 had bright spots for me not seen since way, way back - or hey, better than *gasp* s1-5 at times because it occasionally focused on good feelings in a way that was just not happening before.) and i'm sure i'm in the minority yet again but i just haven't particularly liked the main plots for most of the seasons. and while i had some big issues with s6, it didn't go campy-ridiculous for me until the leviathans. and again, for me, pretty much everything since has gone that direction. some not campy, but all pretty ridiculous. i tolerate, not delight :S but i'm here for the characters and relationships, so i keep on keeping on.
anyway. dark and jittery longer than i deem necessary battle in the graveyard which somehow became not a death sentence in between the season break
DEAN
Great. So we go outside, we get ripped apart. We stay in here, w-what, starve to death?!
CAS
Well, I wouldn't starve.
DEAN
Well, good for you.
LOL good one, cas
CAS
He's an abomination!
BELPHEGOR
You're an abomination with that stupid, dumb trench coat.
ooh burn. and so true
BELPHEGOR
I mean, the last time I was on Earth, I mean, I was human. Ah, it was a while ago. I mean, but, you know, we were all worshipping this giant rock that looked like a huge penis, and... Anyway, folks back then, you know? Had a lot of humps. I mean, a lot. Look at 'em now. I mean, look at you. I mean, you're, uh, you know, gorgeous.
DEAN
What? Okay. When are you gonna get out of that body?
BELPHEGOR
Eh, when I find another one. I mean, I would've jumped at the cemetery, but all those meat suits were a little too, uh, you know, wormy. Difficult to blend, if you will
giving me leonardo dicaprio accent/cadence there with the wormy bit. weird. also mentioned dicaprio way back when he was in that nougat scene in 13x01. anyway, i mean this is something. can't resist the whole new character for the same actor thing. but seems like a more fun role for calvert
music they've got playing while sam and cas search the houses is pretty unique. i like it. this really muffled deep fast percussion. miracle. and jay gruska?? okay, i see you!! look at you, sir!!! finally coming up with a win
the killer clown makeup, good!
the blood mary wig and makeup, HORRENDOUS. reminds me of the knockoff ringu girl in 7x18. called it party city costume and makeup 🤪
spn s7e18 party on, garth
handy that the spell that needs a human heart, there's an abundance of freshly dead people around. i don't have the energy to even ponder what this demon's agenda is
BELPHEGOR
What? Oh. No. I-I mean, uh... – I'm a fan.
DEAN
Excuse me?
BELPHEGOR
Yeah, I-I didn't want to say it in front of the other guys, but when you were in Hell, with Alastair, I, uh... I got a chance to watch you work. And, I mean, the things you did to those people, I mean, it wasn't torture. It was, um... It was art.
DEAN
Yeah, but that was a long time ago.
BELPHEGOR
Depends how you look at it.
dean surprisingly chill about this conversation. far more chill than i am. maybe he's been doing some work
so every door in hell opened, including the cage. ok. so is that how they finally address adam?
stupid god weapon which i assumed was lethal no matter what, well. festering at least.
and some sort of hallucination flashback vision who knows what i don't know what with evil!sam and dean begging sammy. great, visions 3.0?
lol, seen the gag reel gif from this scene where misha calls him dean instead of sam
it's fun that they're doing new spellwork magic stuff with a character, but. clearly it's gonna be some big Thing, what with how useful and powerful it is
not remembering why dean's being snippy with cas. i guess because he doesn't want to talk about jack dying? they've pretty well glossed over it
little more fester-y. needed some gooey bits to dab off with the gauze
DEAN
Okay. Hey, do you remember when we were little? What I would do to distract you whenever I'd rip off a Band-Aid or something like that?
SAM
Yeah. You'd tell some stupid joke.
DEAN
Yeah. Knock, knock. Come on. Knock, knock.
SAM
Who's...
DEAN
Still got it.
cute cute. i don't care if it's pandering i will take any and all pre-series anecdotes
SAM
Yeah. So, when Chuck… God… said "This is the End," I guess this is what he meant.
DEAN
Yeah, well. Screw him. He's been playing us this entire time.
Just when we thought we had a choice. You know, whenever we thought we had free will. We were just rats in a maze. Sure, we could go left. Sure, we could go right. But we were still in the damn maze. Just makes you think, if all of it… you know, everything that we've done… What did it even mean?
SAM
It meant a lot. We still saved people.
DEAN
Yeah, but what for? You know? Just so he could throw another End of the World at us and then sit back and chug popcorn?
SAM
Maybe. Yeah, maybe. But… now he's gone.
DEAN
You think?
SAM
That's what he does. He gets bored and… and… and… and pulls the ripcord. I mean, that's what he did with Apocalypse World and… and probably with all of them. He moves on, starts another story. But you know what? Good. 'Cause if he bailed, it's just us. For the first time. It's just us.
DEAN
And about three billion ghosts.
SAM
Yeah, well, what's one more Apocalypse, right? But, seriously, if we win… When we win this, God's gone. Hm. There's no one to screw with us. There's no more maze. It's just us. And we're free.
DEAN
So you and me versus every soul in Hell? I like those odds.
SAM
Yeah, me too.
DEAN
Well, you know what that means. We got work to do.
also will always accept sam and dean vs the world
i'm not totally understanding this jumping to the conclusion that chuck is gone-gone. what with his repeated stated desire last episode that they're his favorite show. would presume he's just orchestrating his big farewell season arc
jay, it was too much to ask for good music throughout, i know. the music backing sam and dean's conversation at the end made me roll my eyes lol

Again, ranked based on how likely I am to rewatch, not necessarily how good they are, the season premieres:
S4 I Don’t Have To Explain This.
S2 The cycles!! They’re cycling!!! Tessa!!!!!!
S12 I like Mary.
S13 I like Jack and widower arc
S11 lol the darkness zombies are fun for me idk it’s sort of atmospheric
S1 it’s iconic
S6 opening montage is soooo
S10 CAS HAS CONSUMPTION???
S14 Mostly just boring.
S5 MANY THINGS ARE HAPPENING AND MOST OF THEM ARE DISTRESSING
S7 Go Godstiel Go!
S8 This is actually a good season opener? I think I just associate it too heavily with ensuing Samelia
S9 I have almost no memory of this episode I think I only tuned in during the Cas bits.
S3 AND WE NEVER EVEN SAW THEM AGAINNNNN CANT HAVE ANYTHING ON THIS SHOWWWWW
S15 It’s so fucking boring and Belphegor can’t save it

For @seasononesam’s 1k Follower Celebration
Sam & Dean // Pilot References
image description: scenes from the Pilot episode compared to various scenes using the same dialogue from “Swan Song,” “Alpha and Omega,” “Twigs & Twine & Tasha Banes,” “Back and to the Future,” and “Carry On”
1x01: 4-year-old Dean runs from their burning house before turning back to look up at the light from the window of Sam’s nursery. He tells baby Sam, “It’s okay, Sammy.” Then John comes running from the house to pick them up and carry them away, saying, “I gotcha.”
5x22: Sam looks at Dean bloody and on the ground. Sam is struggling to keep control, and he tells him, “It’s okay, Dean. It’s gonna be okay. I’ve got him.”
1x01: In John’s cluttered motel room, Sam gets Dean’s attention and says, “Hey, Dean? What I said earlier, about mom and dad, I’m sorry.” Dean holds up a hand to stop him and says, “No chick-flick moments.” Sam says, “Alright. Jerk.” Dean almost smiles and responds, “Bitch.” before turning to walk away. Sam smiles.
11x23: Dean, not looking at Sam, says “No chick-flick moments, come on.” Sam won’t look at him either, then he clears his throat as he takes Dean’s keys. Sam says, “Yeah, you love chick-flicks.” He laughs. Dean nods and says, “Yeah, you’re right, I do. Come here.” and he grabs Sam’s shoulders to pull him in for a hug.
1x01: Dean stands in Sam and Jessica’s living room, looking down before he looks up to stare at Sam and tell him, “Dad’s on a hunting trip. And he hasn’t been home in a few days.”
12x20: In the bunker, Sam rolls his shoulders and sighs a little before reciting to Dean, “Their mom’s on a hunting trip, and hasn’t been home in a week.”
1x01: Outside Sam’s building, Dean tells him matter-of-factly, “I can’t do this alone.” Sam shakes his head a little, squinting, as he says, “Yes, you can.” Dean looks down and away before he says, “Yeah. Well, I don’t want to.” Sam blinks, then looks around before hanging his head, resigned.
15x20: In the barn, Sam is crying as he tells Dean, “I can’t do this without you.” Dean looks up at him and quietly responds, “Yes, you can.” Sam looks away and shakes his head, choked up, before looking back to answer, “Well, I don’t want to.” Dean, watery-eyed, smiles a little.
15x01: Both standing at the trunk of the impala, Dean says, “Well, you know what that means.” They both look into the trunk before Sam says, “We got work to do.” Sam lifts his arm to close the trunk, and the scene changes to show him closing the trunk in the same way at the end of the Pilot.

the fact that supernatural decided to make john wayne gacy into a stupid fucking clown ghost is one of the most disrespectful things they’ve done imo. like they touch on real crimes like lizzie borden, jack the ripper and h. h. holmes, but the thing is that john wayne gacy was apprehended as recently as in 1978, making it entirely possible that family and loved ones of his victims could be alive today. and the fucking mockery they make of the severity of the real case is just disgusting. he was known as the “killer clown” because he had worked as a clown prior to the discovery of his crimes, but was NOT dressed as a clown as he committed the crimes, and this whole “scary clown thing” was entirely shaped by the media. the fact that supernaturals dumbass version of him is a murderous clown who sings happy birthday creepily is just rancid. its like. he was an ACTUAL horrible serial killer, pedophile and sex offender who raped, tortured, and murdered at least 33 young men and boys. and the case is SO recent, he only just died in 1994.
every time i see those 2 eps featuring him my blood boils. theres NO respect for the victims or their families. their very real and ALIVE families. literally fuck spn.
