Rewatching Good God, Y'All

Welcome to “But Does One Simply Drive an Impala into Mordor?: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s5e2: Good God, Y’All.

The boys are worried about Bobby, who has lost the use of his legs and won’t speak. Dean shows off an x-ray of their very pretty carved ribs just before Cas calls Sam to find out where they are because, oh right, the pretty ribs mean they’re hidden from *all* angels, even pocket angel. Cas reveals that he’s cut off from Heaven and thus can’t heal Bobby (who has something to say about that—yay! He’s talking!) because then they couldn’t save healing him for some more dramatic time later on. Cas wants Dean’s samulet because it supposedly glows hot in the presence of orcs God. Dean doesn’t want to give it up, but Cas Dom-Voices him into it. Rufus calls Bobby for help in a town overrun by demons. The boys go to check it out, running into Ellen and Jo, who are hunting together now. Seems like everyone in this town thinks everyone else is a demon. Turns out no one is. The first of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, War, has arrived, and he’s making different groups of townsfolk think the other groups are possessed. Sam and Dean each figure this out independently because they are both smarties. They cut War’s ring from his finger, vanquishing him and gaining a piece of jewelry that, huh, seems like maybe it might be important later. At the end of the episode, Dean confesses that he's not sure he can trust Sam anymore, and they decide to go their separate ways. Uh-huh.

Below is a log of our real-time reactions as we watched. Remember that there may be spoilers for any part of SPN’s 15-season run here. Note also that the nature of our conversation is adult and thus it may contain adult language and themes.

 [and we begin:]

Mace:

oh, you’re a sword, DeanDean, don’t fight it

Lor:

LOLOLOLOL

Lor:

oh good. Jo.

Mace:

UGH

Mace:

BACK RUB

Mace:

I bet Dean gives extremely good back rubs

Lor:

LOL

Lor:

RIGHT?

Lor:

they're xrays, Sam. says that right there

Mace:

god, even their flipping ribs are pretty now

Mace:

HAHAHAHAHA OMG

Lor:

RIGHT?

Lor:

OMG LOOKIT HIM STRIDING

Mace:

omg is this the scene where Misha falls to the floor to disappear?

Mace:

YES

Lor:

I think it is!

Lor:

"Say again."

Mace:

remind me what’s wrong with Bobby?

Mace:

“I heard that” HAHAHA

Lor:

he's paralyzed from the waist down but I kinda forget why already? (Ed: We remembered eventually.)

Mace:

cripes, Cas is extra gorgeous here

Lor:

LOL

Mace:

HAHAHA

Lor:

oh Cas, oh honey, you're so earnest, baby

Mace:

HE’S NOT ON ANY FLATBREAD

Mace:

HAHAHAHA

Lor:

"no he's not on any flatbread"

Lor:

HAHAHA

Lor:

CHUCKLES

Mace:

“literally at the end of days” oh Dean, you’ve got, like 10 years left at least

Mace:

YES

Lor:

I love that Dean is SO anti-God all through but later when he actually meets him and confirms that he does not in fact care, it wrecks him so much

Lor:

LOL

Mace:

YEP

Mace:

get a little closer there, Cas

Lor:

RIGHT?

Lor:

he's SO STERN i cannot

Mace:

YES

Lor:

OMG that LOOK when he turns to Dean

Mace:

YES

Mace:

“NO”… “alright I guess”

Mace:

that didn’t take long

Lor:

"may I borrow it?" "NO" *VOICE* "Dean, give it to me" *dean does*

DOM VOICE

Mace:

that’s not exactly how you play hard to get Dean

Lor:

LOLOLOLOL

Mace:

“now I feel naked” “I’ll be in touch” NICE

Lor:

"now I feel naked" haaaahahahahahah

Lor:

"tell him to send legs" HAAAAHAHAHAHAHA

Mace:

HAHAHA

Lor:

I refuse to believe that they did not know what they were doing with Dean and Cas right from the start

Mace:

meh, I think the writers are mostly idiots, to be honest, and stumbled onto the good stuff. the rest is all on Jensen, Jared, and Cas as amazing actors

Lor:

lolololol I love the establishing shot: snowy mountains, must be Colorado, right?

Lor:

I MEANT Jensen and Cas

Lor:

omg DUDE we BOTH called Misha Cas haaaaahahahahaha

Mace:

oh AHA! well yes then

Mace:

OMG HAHAHAHAHA

Lor:

omg the tone of the music with the destruction

Mace:

quality soundtrack choice

Lor:

omg I LOVE when music goes from undiegetic to diegetic

Mace:

YES

Mace:

“hello boys” NOT YOUR LINE, ELLEN

Lor:

RIGHT?

Lor:

ALSO HOW ABOUT A HUG

Lor:

okay there it is. jeez

Mace:

HAHAHHA

Lor:

hahahaha the slap

Mace:

I don’t like her, but I do like that she calls Dean “kid"

Mace:

YES

Lor:

and the "yes, ma'am"

Mace:

YES

Lor:

agreed. I always love it when someone treats him like they love him, especially WHILE they are tearing him a new one, but Ellen as a character? meh

Mace:

exactly

Mace:

just because she’s a pregnant woman, Dean, doesn’t mean she can’t handle herself. Jesus.

Lor:

RIGHT?

Lor:

although I do suspect that THAT pregnant woman might not be able to

Mace:

well sure but I’m trying to make a point here, Lor

Lor:

I DO apologize. *drags over a box for you*

Lor:

that canned soup probably has enough salt in it to be useful

Mace:

*checks to see if box has cookies in it before realizing it’s full of soap*

Mace:

HAAAAAHAHAHAHA

Lor:

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Lor:

*hands you another, smaller, box, this one WITH cookies*

Mace:

YAS

Mace:

*munches*

Mace:

Sammy, no. Don’t lick that.

Lor:

look, in GENERAL, Sammy, don't like knives

Lor:

*lick. dammit

Lor:

like them all you want

Mace:

SNORK

Mace:

WHY is it that every pregnant character on the screen is constantly holding her belly. NO ONE ACTUALLY DOES THAT

Lor:

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Lor:

ooooof, Dean

Lor:

I feel like if I had ever been pregnant, I would have used the shelf as a good place to rest the snacks

Mace:

YEP

Mace:

been there

Lor:

I mean, the boobies work, surely the baby bump would too

Mace:

works pretty good until the kicking starts

Lor:

LOL

Lor:

now I'm picturing chips just like flying out of the bowl

Mace:

SNORK

Mace:

ope, fret boys

Mace:

not really any of your business, Ellen

Lor:

okay, so Sam is incredibly hot when he gets angry and shoves people and Dean is incredibly hot shoved up against a wall. it's fine. I'm fine

Mace:

HAHAHAHA RIGHT?!

Lor:

also SOME GIRL? Have you met them? They never like the same girls

Lor:

and girls are always about one of them or the other

Mace:

right?! she’s a dummy

Lor:

WATCH THE SHOW ELLEN

Mace:

HAHAHAHA

Lor:

YAY RUFUS

Mace:

YES

Lor:

oh Dean

Mace:

right?

Lor:

"random's good"

Mace:

YES

Lor:

"this isn't x-files, pal"

Mace:

Ellen really should be a great character. strong woman and all, but she just… sucks. and I can’t really figure out what it is about her that doesn’t work

Mace:

HA

Lor:

right? she should be great but she's just kind of annoying

Mace:

is it the actor? the writing? maybe a little of both

Lor:

lol the poor pastor

Lor:

yeah, probably a bit of both

Mace:

HAHAHA YEP

Mace:

War is excellent, on the other hand

Lor:

YES

Mace:

War’s a daddy and I’m okay with that

Lor:

RIGHT?

Mace:

“that’s adorable” HA

Lor:

LOL

Mace:

Oh Sammy, don’t listen to him

Mace:

look at those puppy eyes

Lor:

RIGHT?!

Mace:

army dude is also a cutie

Lor:

he really is

Mace:

“genius” I love it

Lor:

YES

Mace:

Rufus is master-level snark

Lor:

"stop firing usually means stop firing" I LOVE HIM

Lor:

YES

Lor:

Frodo of the niiiiiine fingers

Mace:

Mace:

Lor:

OMG offering Sam Baby

Mace:

Mace:

YES

Lor:

"you too, Sammy" OMG BOYS STOOOOOP

Mace:

Rewatching Monster Movie

Welcome to “Good EVEning: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

 Up today, s4e5: Monster Movie.

  Sam and Dean are in Pennsylvania for a case that sounds like it may be a vampire attack but may also just be a vampire wannabe. Dean doesn't care, though, because it's Oktoberfest, he's been rehymenated, and he's ready to party. But then there's a sort of werewolf attack. And then a... mummy come to life? It becomes clear that they have a shapeshifter who loves old monster movies, but who is he and what's his next mov(i)e? Before they quite figure it out, the monster attacks Dean and his bar wench date (who really needs to join the cast for much more than just one episode because she's amazing) and then next thing he knows, Dean is in lederhosen and strapped to an electrocution table. This is one of the top ten very best SPN episodes. Shot in black and white and with all the little trappings of the classic horror films, it's both a send up and a tribute. It's also one of the best of the hilarious-up-until-the-end-when-it-rips-your-heart-out eps.

 Below is a log of our real-time reactions as we watched. Remember that there may be spoilers for any part of SPN’s 15-season run here. Note also that the nature of our conversation is adult and thus it may contain adult language and themes.

Rewatching Mystery Spot

Welcome to “No Breakfast: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

 Up today, s3e11: Mystery Spot.

  The boys are investigating a small town that boasts one of those kitschy, touristy places that claims to defy the laws of physics and such. But when they break into the mystery museum at night, they're confronted by the owner wielding a shotgun and Dean gets shot and killed. And then Sam wakes up to the same Tuesday morning. And then Dean dies. Again. And then Sam wakes up on Tuesday, repeat ad horrendum. They're clearly stuck in a Groundhog Day loop, but who's to blame? Turns out it's the Trickster Who Will Later Be Known as Gabriel, who agrees to let them out of the pattern. But then Dean dies. Again. And Sam is left searching for a way to bring him back and goes deep into a dark place to do so. Lots of brotherly issues here, folks. It's an SPN Special: hilarity followed closely by a powerful gut punch.

 Below is a log of our real-time reactions as we watched. Remember that there may be spoilers for any part of SPN’s 15-season run here. Note also that the nature of our conversation is adult and thus it may contain adult language and themes.

Rewatching Bedtime Stories

Welcome to “The Brothers Get Grimm with Each Other: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

 Up today, s3e5: Bedtime Stories

  People are dying weird in a small town. It takes our boys a minute to realize it, but the deaths all mimic fairy tales. What seems to be the ghost of a little girl appears at the scenes of the deaths, and that doesn’t track. Until Sam and Dean discover a young woman who has been in a coma since she was a child—and whose father has been reading her fairy tales all these years. Her spirit is trapped and restless because her step-mother poisoned her years ago. The boys have to convince her father to listen to her spirit and let her go to stop the grim deaths. Meanwhile, Sam has been hounding Dean about his refusal to try to find a way out of his demon deal, and the end of the episode sees Sam sneaking off to try to force the crossroads demon to give up Dean’s contract. Sam learns that she’s not the one holding his deal, and Sam shoots her with the Colt (and thus killing the woman she’s possessing as well). Should we be worried about him?

 Below is a log of our real-time reactions as we watched. Remember that there may be spoilers for any part of SPN’s 15-season run here. Note also that the nature of our conversation is adult and thus it may contain adult language and themes.

 Mace:

Nope, I know for a fact that you’ve recently talked about purple nurples, so not the weirdest thing, Dean

 Mace:

 but yes his face!

 Lor:

CORRECT

 Lor:

I read it that he's reconsidering it being the weirdest thing he ever said but he's letting it go

 Lor:

 Mace:

 RIGHT?!

 Lor:

oooof Sammy

 Mace:

 OOOF

 Lor:

Lolol

  [after the episode ended:]

 Mace:

 so i love the balance between Dean not thinking he deserves to be saved and Sam fighting against this deal not because he doesn’t think HE deserves to live but because he doesn’t think it’s fair that Dean has to die. Another sign of Dean being raised by John and Sam being raised by Dean

 Lor:

YES

Rewatching Bad Day at Black Rock

Welcome to “*pets everything*: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

 Up today, s3e3: Bad Day at Black Rock

  The boys discover that John had a storage unit they didn't know anything about, and someone has broken into it. When they track down the someones, they find that the stolen object is a lucky rabbit's foot, but you're only lucky while you possess it; once you lose it, your luck turns very, very southerly. This episode is their first encounter with the thief, Bella, who tricks the boys so badly Dean feels the need to shout "SON OF A BITCH" very, very loudly. It's one of the best of the goofball episodes, and we get to see Jared stretch his funny acting muscles a bit more than usual. It's a real treat!

 Below is a log of our real-time reactions as we watched. Remember that there may be spoilers for any part of SPN’s 15-season run here. Note also that the nature of our conversation is adult and thus it may contain adult language and themes.

Rewatching Nightshifter

Welcome to “Everybody’s Working for the Mandroid: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

 Up today: s2e12: Nightshifter

 Sam and Dean are working a string of robberies where things feel… supernatural when they encounter Ronald, a security guard at a bank that’s been robbed. Ron *swears* his fellow guard, who robbed the bank, was Not Himself. And Ron thinks he knows why. Because he was a mandroid. Dean seems to connect a bit with Ron (he did some good research, after all), but ultimately Sam tells Ron he’s full of it. The boys, sure they are hunting a shapeshifter, get into the bank disguised as techies working on the security system, but when Ron shows up with a gun and locks everyone inside, Sam and Dean have to deal with all the freaked-out bank employees, a confused Ron, and the shapeshifter—who could be just about anyone in the bank. Things go from bad to worse when the FBI show up hunting Sam and Dean. Poor Ron ends up dead and the boys play cat and mouse with the shapeshifter before making a brilliant escape from the FBI via one of the best needle drops in all of television.

 Below is a log of our real-time reactions as we watched. Remember that there may be spoilers for any part of SPN’s 15-season run here. Note also that the nature of our conversation is adult and thus it may contain adult language and themes.

 [and we begin:]

  Mace:

Rewatching Hunted

Welcome to “The Sam Who Mistook His Fellow Yellow-Eyed Minion Friend for a Ring: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

 Up today: S2E10: Hunted

 The cold open follows a young man describing his strange new powers to a psychiatrist. He is disturbed by his abilities and not getting much help. When his session is over, he is brutally murdered by an unseen assailant. Then Sam and Dean argue about John’s declaration that Dean would have to kill Sam if he couldn’t stop Sam from becoming evil. Dean wants to just cut and run to keep Sam safe, but Sam’s not having it. A tense scene follows of Sam breaking into an abandoned building and getting blown up, but wait—it’s a nightmare, of course. But it isn’t Sam’s nightmare? It’s a young woman we’ve never seen before waking up in a sweat and a panic. When Sam runs off to investigate the death of the young man from the opening, he meets Eva, the woman who had the nightmare—who’s come to warn him that she saw his death in a dream and that he’s in danger. Sam and Eva continue to look into the death until Gordon, who thinks Sam’s powers mean he should be hunted and killed, arrives and makes trouble. Gordon kidnaps Dean and uses him as bait to bring Sam to the very situation Eva saw in her dream. The boys make it through, of course, (after a few very tense moments), and Sam sets Gordon up for arrest. When Eva doesn’t answer her phone, Sam and Dean go to check on her, but find her fiancé dead in pools of his own blood in bed. There’s no sign of Eva, but her engagement ring is on the bedroom floor.

 Below is a log of our real-time reactions as we watched. Remember that there may be spoilers for any part of SPN’s 15-season run here. Note also that the nature of our conversation is adult and thus it may contain adult language and themes.

 [and we begin:]

 Lor:

 the use of this music here is brilliant and kind of freaky

 Mace:

 agreed

 Lor:

 the way the scene escalates as the music escalates

makes me wonder if they picked the song first before they wrote the scene. or maybe you can just manipulate the footage you have to make it work in editing

 Mace:

 interesting

I have no idea how that sort of thing works

  Lor:

 me either

I can recognize that they did a thing with the pacing, but no clue how they make that work

 Mace:

 yeah

  Lor:

 oh boys. our poor babies

 Mace:

 right?

and Dean still being stupidly loyal to John

  Lor:

 yeeeah

and I can't decide who I feel worse for and I just circle back to fuck John

 Mace:

 YUP

i feel awful for both of them

  Lor:

 YUP

and poor Dean is like let's just run away. which is SO NOT HIM. only for Sammy

 Mace:

 YES

he’s choosing flight because he’s so scared he won’t be able to save Sammy if they stay and fight

  Lor:

 YEP

and the idea that he could be faced with having to decide if he's gonna kill his brother

 Mace:

 YEP

  Lor:

 which is EXACTLY where they end up but not til season FIVE and just. One show should not luck into/stumble onto so many neat resonances like that. I mean, it's one thing if it was aaaaalll planned beforehand but

 HA! this fakeout

 Mace:

 snork! agreed

 and YES to the fakeout!

  Lor:

 I love the idea of Dean just absolutely making the road house phone ring off the hook

 Mace:

 yep

  Lor:

 oh, never mind about that drama we stirred up a few eps ago...

 Mace:

 SNORK!

 god, Sam can do the hurt puppy look so well

 Lor:

 he really REALLY can

 ha! Supermassive Black Hole

is that the most recent song that's ever on the show?

 Mace:

 no idea but possibly

  Lor:

 I mean, I don't either, but it jumped out to me as having been recorded, like, after they were born

 Mace:

 snork!

  Lor:

 DANG Sam is good at this getting people to talk bit

 Mace:

 he SO IS

 UGH I hate that they make us kind of love this girl now

  Lor:

 RIGHT?

 hahahahaha I love someone else giving a Winchester the “there's weird shit” speech

 Mace:

 YES

  Lor:

 lolol her delivery on "one of who?" I love it

 Mace:

 YES

and it’s hilarious that she thinks Sam’s nuts instead of believing that they’re alike

  Lor:

 LOL YEP

 Mace:

 “your weirdo ass” HAHAHA

  Lor:

 his weirdo ass would help you address those invitations

 LOL

 Mace:

 HE WOULD

he’s such a sweetheart

  Lor:

 YES

 omg poprocks and coke

 Mace:

 YAS

  Lor:

 "thank god you're okay"

 Mace:

 OMG DEAN “Sam you sly dog"

  Lor:

 LOLOLOL YES

 Mace:

 oh god I JUMPED at the shot

  Lor:

 ME TOO

 Mace:

 what a dummy

 HAHAHA

  Lor:

 I FORGOT about this part. I mean I remember about the later stuff in this ep with Gordon, but

 "you'd do that to my brother?" pets him

 Mace:

 I even remembered it was coming but STILL jumped

 YES

  Lor:

 lol

 Mace:

 “DUDE. WHO ARE YOU"

  Lor:

 her gesture and the little noise!

 "I watch a lot of TJ Hooker" omg what a thing to pull out

 Mace:

 I love that he calls Dean when he realizes he needs him no hesitation

  Lor:

 YES

 FUNKY TOWN

 Mace:

 YAS

  Lor:

 "he thought of it"

 Mace:

 of course he did no question

  Lor:

 "sorry I shouldn't laugh"

 Mace:

 snork!

  Lor:

 oof the look on Dean's face

 Mace:

 YES

 “doesn’t matter. it’s my brother"

  Lor:

 YES

 I love him so much I'd definitely, you know, call 911 if he got bad hurt or anything...

 Mace:

 HAHAHA

  Lor:

 species, Gordon

 Mace:

 do NOT call him Sammy, Gordon

  Lor:

 RIGHT?

 HOW much do I wish they'd made either Gordon or Victor a recurring GOOD GUY (I'd have preferred Victor, but whatever)

 Mace:

 RIGHT?!

  Lor:

 cause honestly Sterling K. Brown does an AMAZING job here

 Mace:

 he does

  Lor:

 god that silohoutte

silouhette

FUCK IT

 Mace:

 HAAAHAHAHAHA

 Mace:

 yes, Dean has the best silo hoot I’ve ever seen

  Lor:

 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

 the way he's pushing all Dean's buttons and it's working

 Mace:

 yeah

 and Jensen is PLAYING this scene

  Lor:

 YES

his microexpressions and body language is just spot on

 Mace:

 YEP

 of course Gordon aligns with John

  Lor:

 that makes John a horrible person, GORDON

 Mace:

 YEP

  Lor:

 oooof Dean

 Mace:

 right?!

  Lor:

 god that scene. kills me

 Mace:

 YEP

  Lor:

 haaaaahahahahaha and they've faked us out again

I LOVE IT

 Mace:

 YES

 don’t worry, Gordo, he’ll circle back round and get you later

  Lor:

 HA yep

 "it's Sam"

 Mace:

 YAS

  Lor:

 the way Dean shakes his arms cause he wants out of the ropes

 Mace:

 YES

  Lor:

 the WAY HE LOOKS AT HIM AND THEN IS READY TO GO MURDER GORDON

 Mace:

 YAS

 Gordon calls himself a hunter and then holds his gun sideways like an idiot

  Lor:

 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA yep

 so this is very clever of Sammy but I really hate watching this scene

 Mace:

 YUP

I both revel that Gordon is getting his but am super uncomfortable with the idea of just how much he’s gonna get

  Lor:

 YEP

and just that image of the police cars swarming on a black man. just, we could not

 Mace:

 the worried look on Dean’s face when he realizes that now he has to worry about hunters too

  Lor:

 oooo that fog/mist coming out of the woods onto the road

 Mace:

 AGREED

  Lor:

 THAT'S NOT FUNNY, DEAN

 YEP

 Mace:

 “screw the job” Oh DEAN

  Lor:

 "I'm sick of the job anyway"

maybe in, oh, 14 years or so you should settle down with your very own angel, Dean

 Mace:

 HAHAHA YES

  Lor:

 "are you sweet on her?" that's kind of an adorable way to put that. and... old fashioned?

 Mace:

 it really is

 Dean doesn’t look a bit surprised

  Lor:

 he does not

 no, Sam, that's a ring

 Mace:

 snork!
