Supernatural 4x17

... damn you, show! Just when I decide to stop watching, here you go with the best episode in years! Seriously, I loved it; I had a few problems with the big reveal (and the lack of Dean/Sam interaction at the very end) but this is the show I miss, the show that could balance funny and serious and angsty, the show that was unpredictable and fun and even subtle on occasion.

Maybe I'll have more thoughtful reactions later, but for now, I can haz squee? Yes I can haz. *g*

I quite enjoyed the episode myself - such a pleasant surprise! I almost didn't watch it, but then we had an extra fangirl over who doesn't like to watch it by herself, and so we did, and... it was fun! It was cute! There was nothing cringe-worthy anywhere! And the bit where giving Dean back his memories lowered the saturation cracked me up. Way to be meta, show. *g*

Squee is good. The world needs more of it. Sadly, I'm not getting my hopes up about more squee from SPN any time soon...

I let it sit for several days before I could work up the nerve to watch it -- and it turned out to be so much fun! It felt like season one again! Besides just being a fun, well-written and non-skeevy episode (WHY IS THIS SO HARD FOR YOU, SHOW), it also took the well-worn Sam/Dean relationship and made it fresh again! They were so cute, getting to know each other and worrying about each other when they didn't even know why! I'm so tired of ANGST and GLOOM and MORE ANGST; I liked these versions of them, and especially this Sam. He was sweet! And not creepy at all!

Like I commented above, now I want to write the "Sam and Dean, demon-hunting office workers" AU and just pretend that it is the show now. XD It's probably way too much exposure to SGA that makes it seem perfectly sensible to me that this could be their real universe, where they're getting occasional bleedover (in the form of weird dreams and a vague sense that they ought to know each other) from our timeline, but they really are what they appear to be ...
