Rewatching Lucifer Rising

Welcome to “Dean Is a Cat and We Want Cheeseburgers: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s4e22: Lucifer Rising.

The cold open shows Azazel possessing a priest in 1972 and doing a ritual to speak to Lucifer. Luci tells him that he needs Lilith to break the seals that imprison him and that Azazel should look for a special boy. In the present, Sam and Ruby are after one of Lilith’s minions, planning to extract info from her and then have Sam drink up so he will be powerful enough to kill Lilith. Meanwhile, Dean is grump about Sam, and Bobby rips him a new one over it. Dean is then mysteriously zapped to a luxurious “Green Room,” where Zach and Cas explain that they’re keeping him safe because it’s inevitable that the last seal with be broken. Dean calls Sam and leaves a voicemail apologizing for being a dick, but the message Sam receives has been altered into an abusive rejection, which spurs Sam on in his plan. Back in the GR, Zach explains that heaven *wants* the apocalypse so they can bring about heaven on earth—and drops the fact that Dean is destined to kill Lucifer. Dean then argues with Cas that the angel *knows* that letting so many people die in an apocalypse is wrong, and Cas eventually comes round, in a bit of business that is approximately a floppitygillion times more homoerotic than it needed to be (we’re good with it). Cas banishes Zach with a sigil, tells Dean that *killing* Lilith is the final seal, and takes them to Chuck the Prophet to find out where Sam is. An archangel shows up to stop this, Cas stays to hold him off (die), and Dean goes after Sam. He’s too late, though. Sam kills Lilith, her blood flows through a weird spiral whoozit, and Ruby reveals that she’s been working with Lilith all along to bring this about. Sam holds Ruby, Dean stabs her with the demon knife, Lilith’s blood completes its journey through the spiral, and FADE TO WHITE.

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 No Rest for the Wicked

Welcome to “Do Genitals Have a Skeletal System in Hell?: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s3e16: No Rest for the Wicked.

Dean’s got days now, and the desperation leads the boys to fight over what to try next. Ruby has a plan Dean doesn’t like, and Sam is frustrated (again) by Dean’s refusal to trust her. Meanwhile, Lilith, the demon who reportedly holds Dean’s contract, has possessed a young girl and is using her to torment and kill members of the child’s family. Bobby is able to pinpoint Lilith’s location, and the boys infiltrate the home in an attempt to kill Lilith. They fail. In the final moments before midnight, Dean hears hell hounds. The dogs, invisible to everyone else, rip him to shreds, leaving no doubt that he's dead. The final shots of the episode zoom in through Dean’s sightless eyes, where we see him suspended from meat hooks in what can only be hell, yelling his brother’s name in anguish.

[and we begin:]

Lor:

SEASON FINALE RECAP CARRY OOOOON

Mace:

Lor:

"when Bella breathes, the air comes out crooked"

Mace:

Lor:

Mace:

“just no” and the way his voice breaks

Lor:

YAAAS

Mace:

ooof, yeah

Lor:

I bet Sam is absolutely going to do what his brother asked him to

Mace:

SNORK!!

Ruby, not everything needs a cutesy nickname

Lor:

especially when you occupy space with *the* Dean Winchester, the queen of that

Mace:

SNORK

Lor:

“I totally rehearsed that speech, too"

I want to see that pls

Lor:

(I HATE that they try to position 327 as them finally not doing this/breaking this habit of sacrificing for each other when there is NO reason to think they didn't have other options that didn't involve making a bad deal to try first)

YES

oh MAN I forgot THIS is in THIS episode

Mace:

(YUP)

this kid is SO GOOD

Lor:

Lor:

Mace:

Lor:

(I am legitimately asking you)

Lor:

FAMILY DON'T END IN BLOOD BOY

Mace:

i wouldn’t think so but maybe as a replacement part?

FAMILY DON’T THAT’S RIGHT

Lor:

Rewatching All Hell Breaks Loose: Part 2

Welcome to “Damned DeanDean, Undead Stringbean, and Sad Poppa Bobby: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s2,e22: All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 2

Dean breaks down at the thought of life without Sam and can’t handle the idea that he failed at his one job: to protect his little brother. He makes a deal with a crossroads demon to bring Sam back to life. The price? Dean will go to Hell in one year. Sam comes back to life, as promised, and seems fine, but he’s sus. As is Bobby. Of course they both sort what it is Dean did right quick (cause they aren’t DUMB), and they each separately and in their own ways try to convey to Dean that he’s worth so much more than he thinks he is. Meanwhile, demon stuff. Azazel uses Jake to open a gate to hell. The boys manage to kill Azazel, but hundreds of demons are let loose before they can get the gate shut again. John also escapes, pats Dean on the shoulder, nods at Sam, and ascends to Heaven. Swell.

[and we begin:]

Mace:

SIGH

Lor:

"Dad didn't even have to tell me. it was always my responsibility" GAAAAH

Mace:

“I had one job. and I screwed it up”

Lor:

"I had one job and I screwed it up" AND THE CRACKING VOICE I CANNOT

Mace:

Lor:

Mace:

Lor:

"you can't tell him. you take a shot at me or whatever you gotta do, but please don't tell him"

I CANNOT

YEP

Mace:

YES

Lor:

omg the way Dean hugs her

Mace:

Lor:

Mace:

Lor:

it's a radioshack. a radioshack is inside

Mace:

HAHAHAHA

Lor:

who directed this ep? why all of a sudden we are up everyone's nose?

Mace:

snork!

Lor:

"is that so?"

Mace:

“be all you can be"

I don’t like him, but he’s witty

Lor:

Mace:

Lor:

Mace:

YUP

Lor:

mrrrggg wee Dean Winchester behind a tombstone with a gun

WHY IS THAT HOT?

Mace:

YAS

Lor:

the way Dean can't look Sam in the eyes

Mace:

ope, cat’s out of the hellbag

Lor:

HAAAAHAHAHAHA

Mace:

why didn’t he just make them all put their guns down with his mind?

Lor:

I was just wondering that myself

Mace:

or have them all shoot themselves

Lor:

maybe there's a limit to his power?

I mean, NOW there is, but

Mace:

snork!

Lor:

dang, Sammy

Mace:

right?!

that’s probably fine

Lor:

ooooof the look on Dean's face and then Sammy wiping the blood off

YEP. definitely fine

Mace:

definitely

if it’s a devil’s trap, how exactly are the demons breaking through it?

Lor:

right?

Mace:

ooof DEAN

Lor:

sheer numbers? I dunno

his poor pretty little head

Mace:

maybe devil’s traps only work one way? and this one was to keep ’em out and away from the gate?

Lor:

oh maybe

(their use of "ever" in "better deal than your dad ever got" makes me NUTS. it implies either John made several deals OR that John's deal was a LONG time ago. NEITHER IS TRUE)

Mace:

ooof, yeah

Lor:

grumbles in copy editor

Mace:

if Yellow Eyes were smart he wouldn’t have kept that gun loaded...

Lor:

right?

PUSH HIM BACK IN!

Mace:

you know how much I love this show, but there’s a lot of loosey goosey writing going on here

HAAAAHAHAHAHA

Lor:

oh yeah there is

a shoulder touch and some tears don't make the last 23 years okay JOHN

Mace:

yeah, JOHN

Lor:

Target

he's at Target, Sammy

Mace:

Lor:

I need someone to clean up Dean's forehead

I VOLUNTEER

Mace:

SNORK

oh SAMMY

he’s got the hurt puppy going ON

Lor:

"don't get mad at me. don't you do that." I CAN'T. Dean you're killing me. that's not fair, baby

Mace:

“there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you”

Lor:

oh my boys

Mace:

YAS

no one cares about you Ellen

go home

Lor:

lololololol

Mace:

oh…WAIT

Lor:

seriously

haaaaaahahahahahahaha

Mace:

too soon?

Lor:

"we've got work to do"

Mace:

“we got work to do"

YAS

Lor:

I still CANNOT BELIEVE that (among other things) they did not take the opportunity to call back that line in the finale somehow

Mace:

don’t they?

I thought they did

it was definitely in the last few eps, right?

Lor:

do they? maybe like in the middle of the ep they do?

but I wanted like a reverse. "our work is done" or something. or "we have shit to do" and they close the trunk and they're at the beach or something

Mace:

YES

[after the episode had ended]

Lor:

so, given that Dean actually did go to hell, I guess his deal is fulfilled and Cas pulling him out didn't count as wiggling out of it? cause while Dean was making his deal I had a truly AWFUL AU idea of Cas pulling him out and Sammy goes back to being dead because Dean didn't fulfill the deal

Mace:

LOR, NO

WHY

Lor:

IT'S NOT MY FAULT

Mace:

YOU’RE THROWING MY SAMMY BACK INTO DEAD

HOW VERY DARE

Lor:

I AM NOT

Demons. DEMONS, MACE

Mace:

YOU had the idea, LOR

but it’s okay because your precious DEAN is OKAY i guess

Lor:

whistles. looks around innocently

Mace:

(I can just hear Cas chiming in with “well, Sam IS an abomination…”)

Lor:

(Haaaaaahahahahahaha)

Rewatching All Hell Breaks Loose: Part 1

Welcome to “Yeah, AVA: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!”

Up today, s2e21: All Hell Breaks Loose: Part 1

Sam gets disappeared away to a ghost town along with a handful of other people on the Azazel's Kids roster, and while Dean and Bobby frantically look for him, he and his demon-blood siblings frantically try to figure out how they got there and why they're dying off one by one. It turns out that Yellow Eyes has pitted them against each other in a Last Man Standing type contest to see who is best suited to be his general in the upcoming war. Also, we find out that Ava is a bit of a turd. Oh, and Ellen's bar gets asploded with Ash still inside. Dean and Bobby finally find Sam, just in time to watch him get well and truly ganked in the back and then die in Dean's arms. Then comes one of the most agonizing "SAMMY!"s Dean ever utters.

[and we begin:]

Lor:

oh The Road So Far with the WRONG MUSIC

Mace:

RIGHT?!

Lor:

this is the only genuine two-parter in the whole run, I think?

Mace:

I have no idea. Maybe?

Mace:

PIE

Lor:

PIE

Lor:

YES

Mace:

Dean just sitting in the car = gorgeous

Lor:

YES

Lor:

mmmm baby door creak LOVE IT

Mace:

YAS

Mace:

his stupid ripped jeans and his stupid bowed legs and how he holds that stupid gun (*@&^#(*@&^)#(*&

Lor:

RIGHT?!

Mace:

the scared little boy look on his face with that last SAM

Lor:

oooo that SAM! reminded me so much this time of the SAM! he yells at the end of S3 when he's in hell

Mace:

Ooooh YES

Lor:

YES

Mace:

this is one of my favorite Sammy shirts

Lor:

ooo it is a good one

Lor:

this has never occurred to me before, but do you think we're supposed to wonder for a second (or wonder if Dean is wondering) if Sam DID that?

Mace:

(my god, there’s blood and dead people and sammy’s god knows where and we’re just lowkey chatting about how adorable they are)

Lor:

(I mean yes. that's the show)

Mace:

oh SHIT. No, I never thought of that!!

Lor:

okay, I know that's the wrong cobbler but now I WANT COBBLER

Mace:

I bet it’s there under the surface, at least

Lor:

yeah

Mace:

i was just thinking about how Dean is really pretty calm when it’s just dead people and lots of blood but he only panics when he finds the sulfur, so yeah, very definitely maybe

Mace:

(I, too, want cobbler)

Mace:

(but that’s just sort of a general MO for me)

Lor:

(YES)

Lor:

"Andy. also freaking out"

Mace:

omg the little head tilt and the “…well"

Mace:

HAHAHA

Mace:

I do enjoy Andy

Lor:

YES

Mace:

oh HELLO ARMY MAN

Mace:

I forgot how cute he is

Lor:

he is so LOVELY

Mace:

YAS

Mace:

the uniform doesn’t hurt either

Lor:

it does not

Lor:

what IS it with uniforms?

Mace:

no idea but it’s real

Lor:

aw Andy has ear cuffs. adorable

Mace:

OMG ANDY

Mace:

omg he DOES

Mace:

these people do not appreciate Andy’s Andyness

Lor:

they do not

Lor:

it's okay I do

Mace:

ME TOO

Mace:

pats his head from a slight distance because I suspect he smells heavily of pachouli

Lor:

LOLOLOL YES

Rewatching Devil’s Trap

Welcome to “Wooof, It Stinks Like Daddy Issues in Here: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s1e22: Devil’s Trap

Meg calls Dean to gloat that she’s captured John. The boys go to Bobby, an old family friend, for help. (We squee.) Bobby explains that demonic possessions are way up (that’s bad) and helps them snare Meg in a devil’s trap. They torture Meg for info on John, and in the process discover that Meg is a human possessed by a demon. They exorcise her but can’t save the human Meg. Sam and Dean proceed to rescue John from the other demons. Eventually Dean realizes that John has been possessed since they rescued him (because he’s BEING TOO NICE), and a fraught showdown ensues. In the fight, Dean is badly injured by possessed John, and the episode draws to a close with Sam and exorcised!John arguing about their next move—go straight after the demon or get Dean medical help. Then: whammo! The Impala is T’ed by a semi.

[and we begin:]

Lor:

oh right. pre Carry On My Wayward Son

Mace:

Ha! Yep

Cripes, the Previously Ons are half the episode this time

Lor:

right?

Mace:

the quaver in Dean's voice when he says "they've got Dad"

Lor:

YES

I was just gonna say that

Mace:

"listen tough guy" DEAN

Lor:

LOL

this episode. the stuff with Dean and John what isn't actually John. just kills me

Mace:

YUP

and how he knows it's not actually John is such a gut punch

Lor:

YES

oh boys

Mace:

yeah. let the 14-some-odd-seasons of fraught begin.

Lor:

YEP

Mace:

BOBBY

Lor:

BOOOOBBBY

Mace:

HAHAHA

lookit his cute little curls in his hair in the back

Lor:

YES

I LOVE that the last time Bobby saw John he threatened to shoot him

Mace:

he's been on screen for a whole 30 seconds and he's already 1000% times a better father figure than John

Lor:

CORRECT

He's treating them like adult humans he has affection for, so

Mace:

YAS

while John fannies about with his Colt and his over-developed sense of vengeance...

Lor:

YEP

poor Rumsfeld

Mace:

his dog's name is Rumsfeld OMG

Lor:

lololol

Mace:

(for the record that was a mix of quotes from Bridget Jones and Princess Bride. I am impressed with myself, to be honest)

Lor:

(lolololol)

Mace:

Dean's "gotcha" nnnggg

Lor:

YAAAAAS

whatever that little thing he did with his lip there.... mrrrrf

Mace:

YES

Lor:

I want to know if John knows this and didn't tell them or if he's just too dumb

Mace:

again, Bobby is a much better dad to them - he doesn't yell at them or make Dean feel like he's an idiot for not knowing about how possession works. he just calmly explains it

Lor:

YES

oh Dean, baby, thinking he can march into hell

Mace:

not realizing that he...will...

Lor:

yeah

"I LIED"

Mace:

I'm...not sure why Sam is uncomfortable with this. I mean. Demon.

Lor:

is he uncomfortable or does he just think they can still use her?

Mace:

he seems troubled to me

Lor:

yeah, he did then when he went back to it

Mace:

always with the water and blankets

Mace:

like they're some sort of miracle cure-all

Lor:

LOL

(if they are willing to call 911 here, for a girl who is broken to bits and they have NO explanation for why, there is NO WAY Sam could not have called 911 for Dean in the finale)

Mace:

(RIGHT?!?!)

Lor:

at least the blankets might help if she's going into shock

the water is probably a terrible idea

Mace:

snork

Lor:

don't introduce stuff into a broken system!

John should have lived so they could bring him round to Bobby's and then the first time he said shit to one of them, Bobby could have decked him

Mace:

omg the way Sam twirls the pen I CANNOT

Lor:

we deserved to see it

Mace:

YES

Lor:

YES

lololol Dean

Mace:

Ha! but Smarty Sammy!

Lor:

YES

oh dEAN

Mace:

yeah

sweet little kettle

Lor:

lolol YES

he's so afraid of everyone dying and leaving him alone holds him

Mace:

yep

"this sucks out loud"

Lor:

YES

omg 2006

7 minutes exactly?

Mace:

snork

Lor:

is that a thing? I don't think that's a thing

Mace:

yeah I have no idea

Mace:

a yorkie, Dean? really?

Lor:

"I got a Yorkie upstairs and he pees when he's nervous" OMG

DEAN

pets him

Mace:

FIREFIGHTER OUTFITS

DED

Lor:

OMG

he wanted to be a firefighter... because of his mom dying in a fire?

Mace:

I suspect it was before she died, when he was still a kid and was allowed to have When I Grow Up I Want To Be thoughts...

Lor:

mmm. that is certainly less heartbreaking

Mace:

post mom-on-ceiling John would never allow for such dreams.

you're welcome.

Lor:

lol. thanks

Mace:

hey, any time. s'what I'm here for.

Lor:

locking the door and the hatchet coming through it right after!

Mace:

yes! very The Shining

is that Carson Daley?

Lor:

I have no idea

Mace:

(I was trying for a joke - he just looked like him)

Lor:

omg that shot of Dean with the joke

Lor:

(SNORK sorry)

Mace:

DEAN WITH THE JOKE HAHAHAHA

Lor:

GUN

DAMMIT

get outta my head, MACE

Mace:

braces self for THE SCENE

Lor:

ooof, yep

Mace:

"I'm trying to thank you here" Yes, DeanDean, bE GRACIOUS

Lor:

this scene where Dean pleads with possessed John not to let the demon kill him? that lived in my head from the moment I saw it 2006 all the way up till we started watching it 2019

Mace:

ooof

Lor:

"for you or dad, the things I'm willing to do or kill... it scares me sometimes" THAT'S IT THAT'S THE SHOW

Mace:

"you're not mad?" sounds of my heart breaking

YUP

Lor:

YES

Mace:

my god he looks so confused at the praise from John

FUUUUCKKK YOU JOHN

Lor:

UG. the way it's telling him what he's wanted to hear from his Dad since he was five

RIGHT?

Mace:

"he'd be furious"

oh DEAN WINCHESTER YOU SWEET SAD THING

Lor:

"he wouldn't be proud of me. he'd tear me a new one"

SOMEONE HOLD HIM

Mace:

Ha! Sammy's "what the hell"

Lor:

lol

Sam's "Dean, how do you know?" it's a genuine question, not, like, an accusation

Mace:

SAM CHOOSES DEAN YAS I LOVE YOU SAMMY

Lor:

YES

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is so good here

Mace:

HE IS

Lor:

I mean, it's not like John hasn't metaphorically been tearing Dean apart for 24 years

Mace:

RIGHT?!

okay they used that "oh that's right" joke twice in one episode. come on, guys.

Lor:

seriously

he just put his finger on so much of Dean. hiding behind the humor.

Mace:

YUP

Lor:

the way the demon is literally just speaking the truth

Mace:

i love that trope of the bad guy speaking awful truth to the hero

Lor:

YES

Mace:

SMARTY SAM

Lor:

YES

ooo, and this is the first time someone who loves Dean overcomes possession in order to not hurt him

Mace:

YEP

Lor:

omg the dual begging of Sam

Mace:

YES

this is one of my favorite season endings

Lor:

YES

Mace:

so BLAMMO good

HA! I still jump every time!

Lor:

YES

"no sir, not everything" and then Sam looking in the rearview at Dean

Mace:

YES

poor Baby

Lor:

right?

She gets banged up SO many times

Mace:

she does
