Supernatural is the bomb, yo

[gateslacker]

Well, I've had no time to get all thinkie or even read all the thinkie I know is being posted out and about.

But, ya'll, I loved "Hunteri Heroici" like burning. And, oh my! Thickening plots. *eyeballs previous post where stuff is intimated*

Hum, indeed. There's all sorts of speculations and what ifs rolling around in my brain and its soooooo hard to watch this show in real time, now. And next weeks the mid season finale. Ack!

As a child of looney toons, this episode was great fun for me. I just couldn't wait to see what they were going to do next. But that scene where Dean fights the guy in the bank and they go all freeze farm ala Road Runner, I really thought I was gonna pee my pants, I laughed so hard. I also adore Cas interviewing the cat and the cat's comments after.

So. Much. LOVE!

Now, if they could have only incorporated my favorite line, "Dragons is so stupid".....

ETA: Okay, now that I have a free moment and I've been a bit more thinkie, I wanna talk about Sam some more!

Because de23 is now officially an addict, I am also watching "with" her via IM, though we were able to get together to watch the series two finale episodes. As a result, I am all over the place with my thoughts. I think his memories are bogus but I can't decide if it's dream bogus, as in none of it really happened at all or if it is perception bogus, as in none of it really happened as he thought it did. Then I wonder if he realizes he just doesn't fit into what he believes to be his dream life, which is, painfully, any sort of life that isn't the hunting life, no matter how messy that life and that relationship seems to be.

Truthfully, watching "Dream a Little Dream of Me" really had me considering that maybe it is a dream world. (once I saw that picnic scene with Lisa and went, hummmmm) And then again when I watched Mystery Spot again and saw that the Trickster's "wife" was named "Amelia" in that made up world of Tuesdays. And the similarity between the names Dean and Don. Plus, after their first meeting in the vet office, we only see Sam and Amelia (and the dog) in these memories. She isn't in any of the flashback scenes that have him interacting with other people, like the motel owner's son? I find it very interesting that it is when someone does enter their world (her father) that everything changes. "Don" is alive after all. I don't know. This is Supernatural after all. It is understandable to look into a more Supernatural explanation.

But then I waffle because it just *feels* like it all happened, despite that hazy, dream quality his flashbacks have.  After the revelation that Dean remembered the escape from Purgatory completely differently than from Cas's recollection, I wonder how Sam might be remembering "wrong" too. But how are we gonna know know? Is there gonna be some future episode where we meet real time Amelia and she gives us the real deal? Could it be they barely even knew one another or, even stranger, that her life wasn't nearly as messy as it seemed to be. That he had to make her as broken as he was?

My mind. It speculates. I know there are those who think the Sam flashbacks are boring but I think they are the ones that make me think the most. And I do love it when this show makes me think. This is,word for word, my reply to dragonfly_sg1  below. I just added it to this original post in case anyone else happens by and wants to discuss which is lazy, I know. What's a time-strapped girl who wants to talk SPN with everyone to do?

*tackle hugs* I feel like I've been away from LJ for forever. I must catch up.

Yes, loved the ep, too!

Raise your hand if you think Sam's memories from the past year are bogus! *jumps up and down raising hand*

Wow, this is alot to say. I may have to add it to this original post in case anyone else happens by and wants to discuss which is lazy, I know.
