Hello Cruel World (7.2)

So who was sad when Cas died? I know I was, he was my favorite character because of his inner conflicts to be good but still defeat Raphael and when his ambitions made him into this kind of monster claiming to be God was the first time I felt sorrow for a character ever.  I'm sure there were a few others who felt the same way. I couldn't believe that Cas let that power go to his head, but then again the whole "with great power comes great responsibility" thing comes back to Cas. I think he genuinely believed that he was doing good and "cleaning up messes" on Earth.  I hope that Cas comes back this season, without him it won't be the same.

     When the Leviathans (Cas) walked into the walk reserve at the beginning of the show I immediately knew that something was coming,worse than anything the boys have ever faced before.  I liked how the editing was done to show how the "infection" was going to spread to the general population.  Black is always a fitting color for evil.  I've never pictured a bad man wearing purple or pink or even blue.  Always black.  I did think it was weird that God would create the Leviathan when they are truly evil.  As the show progressed they kept referring to "the boss". I'm not sure if that's a reference to God or if it could possibly be Crowley or even Lucifer.  At the moment I'm thinking it's God. God's been known to be vengeful in the Bible so could this possibly be another version of the destruction of Sodom and Gamora (I'm sure I spelled that wrong)?

     Sam, oh Sam, he's getting crazier now.  I'm really starting to wonder if the writers planned for him to go this crazy in season 1 or if it was something that was created as the show went on.  Either way Sam is slowly losing his marbles and seeing Lucifer.  It has to be difficult hearing Lucifer tell him that everything around him in made up, something he created to torture Sam.  I know if I was in that situation I would be going as crazy as Sam is now.  When he finally gave off a full dose of crazy at the end of the episode when he drove to a warehouse and Dean came in I felt sorry for him. He looked so scared and upset that I wanted to literally go through the tv and tell him exactly what Dean told him.  "You're real. I'm very real." But that wouldn't make sense seeing as he's technically not real...but anyway moving on...

     Dean, I've always known he was the dad-type even if he couldn't have that life and he definately showed that in this episode. I thought it was so sweet (contrary to Lucifer's mocking comments) that Dean checked out his hand, brought him water and food and was genuinely concerned for him.  It's easy to tell that Dean can't live without his brother and would die if he actually lost Sam for too long.  I really related to that sentiment because my sister Behka and I are the same way even if we won't admit it, and well we also don't fight supernatural things but you get the jist.  Dean's way of bringing Sam back to reality through pain was very smart.  Pain is definately something that you can only feel in the real world and I'm glad he found that, seeing Sam go down this road of crazy is sad and I hope the writer's show mercy on poor old Sam and give him a break.  He definately needs it.

The Leviathan are definately creepy.  I thought demons were weird when they first appeared in season 3 but these things have taken the cake on creepy.  I never pictured God creating something so evil, or maybe they are ticked because God locked them away in Purgatory for so long of a time. Never the less the Leviathan are going to be quite a challenge for only one slightly sane person in the group that is Bobby Sam and Dean.

The final scene with Bobby's house burnt to ashes also upset me.  Bobby has basically been the boys' father figure throughout the whole series and I am  hoping that they didn't lose him as well.  I would definately miss hearing "Idgit" whenever the boys do something stupid.  Which they normally do. So let's hope Bobby Singer is alive and well and that the Leviathans haven't eaten him or just killed him.

Well, if you have any thoughts feel free to comment!

Meet the New Boss (7.1)

     Meet the New Boss...where to begin?  I had to re-watch it because I was so impressed with it.  When season six ended Cas had just claimed to be God and I was in shock.  I re-watched that episode at least three times trying to figure out where Cas finally lost it.  So when season 7 opened right it left off I couldn't wait to see the way Cas acted toward them.  He was definately different as the episode started, I never thought I would see Cas use the tone of voice he used now.  I was immediately concerned for what lies ahead for Sam, Dean, and Bobby.  Especially with Sam losing it more and more. I still can't get over Cas's change in attitude.  It's definately true that power can change a person either for better or worse, and for Cas, it was for the worse.

     I was really glad that the director kept some humor in the show though, the beginning alone was really dark and slightly depressing so when the scene switched to Dean trying to fix the impala it kind of brought me back to season's 1 and 2 when they hunted simple supernatural things like windegos and the hook man (He may have been in season 3 i think). The relationship between Bobby and Dean also made the episode better.  It reminded me of the reason I started watching in the first place, they're a family and they'd do anything to protect their family be it stopping the apocalypse or just fighting small supernatural things.

     My favorite scenes in the episode however have to be Sam's hallucinations.  I feel bad for Sam but at the same time I think that this makes him 10 times stronger.  The conflict that he has to go through with all of these problems he's had, being half demon, being Lucifer's vessel, going to the pit, coming back without a soul, and finally breaking through the wall that separated him from losing his mind by getting his soul back and he still manages to be somewhat sane.  I never thought he would make it back once he jumped into the pit with Lucifer.  I thought if he did come back he would come back as Lucifer.  I'm glad to see that Sam is stronger than the devil himself.

     and Crowley, where to begin with him.  I wanted to be mad at him and think he was the scum of the Earth and I tried I did, but I can't.  I don't know why but Crowley is a character that is almost impossible to be mad at.  He looks out for #1, himself and plays both sides when he needs to to stay alive.  The funniest line in the show actually came from him I thought when he said, "What do you think he's going to do when he finds out we've been conspiring? You do want to conspire don't you?" It's typical Crowley and I thought it was hilarious.

     One thing I definately did NOT see coming was Cas giving up his power even when Dean begged him to.  I felt like Cas had worked so hard for this power that he was never going to give it up.  I was kind of interested to see where he went with it.  And why would Death even help the boys?  I'm hoping to see more of Death in the coming episodes to see what his part is in the whole cosmos.  And finally when the Leviathan took over Cas after he gave up his power I felt sadness for Cas and the look of hurt on Dean's face when he lost Cas finally was something that just tore me up.

     so, that's my thoughts on season 7 episode 1! I'm sure I left out a few things BUT that's a reason for you to post and share you're thoughts as well! :)
